I went with the Cobra's Fang it was boozy, fruity, a little spicy just as described, and served in the most perfect tiki mug (that snake face was almost too cute to drink out of). Tasted great, but like any good tiki drink, it's sneaky strong, pace yourself. They've got a fun food menu too, but I was too full to try anything sooo next time. With a drink list this deep (multiple Mai Tai riffs, a Zombie, a Volcano Bowl for the table), I'll definitely be back to work my way through it. Service was solid and they had their hands full while we were there and still took great care of us.

I ordered a volcano not realizing it would be served in a glass that looks like a volcano and lit on fire. Pretty cool. My husband had an authentic Mai tai, SO good. The snack mix was delicious, I could have eaten a whole bag of it. I wish we had had more time to spend in the upstairs bar. It had a Godzilla theme and I honestly would have started my visit up there if I had known. Bartenders downstairs did encourage us to go up and check it out but there's gotta be a better way to let people know how cool it is upstairs right as they first walk in the door.

We ordered two drinks, one each and our total with tip was something around $40. Seems a little spendy but the drinks were amazing and very beautiful! The decor was interesting as it seemed like old lodge meets a Portland Whiskey Bar. I will say the bar tables we sat in were incredibly uncomfortable but all the couch seats were taken. Service was interesting.. It was a Saturday night, there were a handful of people but only one bartender. This was fine but in our 45 minutes there we went out side multiple times. When we walked in he was smoking out side, then we went out and spoke to some people in their car on the street and then went back out again. It didn't affect our service but it did seem a tad odd that he kept leaving the building.

Add in the incredible views of the Columbia River, and it's easily one of the coolest places in Astoria to relax and enjoy a drink. The cocktails are creative, beautifully crafted, and absolutely delicious. Their clam chowder is fantastic too. Thick, hearty, and loaded with meat, with a great consistency and a rich, classic chowder flavor. There was also a subtle hint of fennel that gave it something a little different without overpowering the traditional taste. After doing a chowder crawl and trying 10 different restaurants around Astoria, I would confidently put Inferno Lounge in second place, just behind Portway Tavern. Between the amazing river views, fun atmosphere, inventive drinks, and outstanding chowder, Inferno Lounge is definitely a place worth visiting!

It's surprisingly hard to find hotels that are this pet-friendly, so that was a huge plus! The building itself is beautiful, but the real highlight is booking a room facing the river. Waking up to views of the Astoria Bridge from your private patio with a cup of coffee was luxurious! We could even hear the sea lions in the distance, which made the whole experience feel peaceful and so unique. The outdoor saunas were an amazing touch and the heated floors throughout the room, made our stay extra cozy, especially if you're visiting during Oregon's colder months! They've got you covered. Within walking distance to so many restaurants and downtown Astoria, if you're planning a trip here, I can't recommend the Bowline Hotel enough. It's relaxing, romantic, pet-friendly, and the perfect place to unwind.

Tonight I had the fried oysters, a Caesars salad, and the ribeye steak. This was all perfect (I described the same appetizers very enthusiastically in my first review) and I'd like to highlight the fantastic ribeye steak, which I ordered medium rare. This was so delightful and expertly executed, it easily exceeded some steaks I've had in designated (and more expensive and pretentious) steakhouses. The service was excellent as usual; so were the Manhattan and pilsner on tap. When in doubt, pay the Bridgewater a visit and thank me later.

The hostess was very friendly, something we didn't see from the rest of the staff. We got seated right away, but it was about 10 minutes until the server finally made it to our table.

I saved the honey lime sauce for my fries. It was 35 MORE minutes until our entrees hit the table. Ridiculously slow. We both got the fish and chips. The batter was light and tasty and the fish was cooked beautifully. The staff on the floor were generally disagreeable. They were rude to each other and the guests. I watched one waitress walking around holding knives out in front of her as she walked, just missing guests as she navigated the floor. Safety hazard... there's something I haven't had to include in a review before. Nice venue, great food, horrible service

The space is small, with four seats at the bar, two floating seats, and two standing only spots. It's an intimate space with lots of Japanese figurines and memorabilia. Behind the bar sits a small TV where the bartender plays physical media (can you believe it!?) -- DVDs and Blue Rays of Japanese films. This is probably our favorite thing we've done in Astoria!

Well, I scanned the code. built an account, created a password..etc. It was time-consuming. After I was done with all of that, I couldn't get the app to work on any of the games and I'm pretty good with technology. I couldn't find the bartender anywhere to ask her for assistance.
