The Best Restaurants and Bars to Visit in Astoria, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Astoria is generally known as a beer town, but wine fans have a haven at Brut Wine Bar. This quiet and cozy shop is nestled downtown and has a patio seating area on the sidewalk in front of the store. It’s easy to drop in and select from the curated list of wines by the glass and bottle. This is no stuffy affair: Brut emphasizes fun, affordable wines from around the world, like European rosé and bubbly inspired by owner Lisa Park’s travels, as well as standards like Oregon-produced pinots from independent wineries. Diners can find cheese and charcuterie boards and other wine-friendly snacks, plus a lot of friendly conversation." - Jennifer Burns Bright
