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

"Buoy Beer, which moved its taproom to the spacious Astoria Food Hub warehouse after its own facilities collapsed, is one of Astoria’s iconic breweries and a point of pride for the town’s beer lovers. In its new family-friendly digs, visitors can knock back a pint or two in a bright, modern space with counter service. Thoughtfully sourced menu items include rockfish and chips, an albacore tuna salad sandwich, or oysters from nearby waters, plus burgers, soft pretzels, and salads. An array of rotating ales and lagers on draft and by the bottle will please all palates, and the kids menu will entertain the small ones." - Jennifer Burns Bright

3 Best Day Trips from Portland, OR | Condé Nast Traveler

"Like so many brewpubs , Buoy in Astoria capitalizes its dude-friendly industrial vibe. Though it sits right on a pier on the river, close to the heart of downtown, the exterior has all the charm of a giant corrugated metal warehouse. Inside it’s all thick wood, exposed beams, and metal ductwork. The three things that set this place apart, however, will make you a die-hard fan: the glass window in the floor, where you can watch the massive sea lions flop around on wood platforms under the pier; the incredible river views; and the truly fantastic beer. Buoy’s taps seem to always offer something new, with a selection that ranges from light Czech-style pilsners to Belgian strong ales and sours. In between, you’ll find a core of greatest hits always on tap, including the very balanced IPA—a fan favorite all over the Northwest." - Danielle Centoni

My boyfriend and I stopped here over the weekend after his birthday lunch, and we had a fantastic time. The beer (and wine) was great, and the atmosphere and service were, too. The drinks were very reasonably priced as well. Great location on the water, we sat in rocking chairs by the water while enjoying our last drinks. We’ll definitely be back!

We stumbled across this spot while traveling to Canon Beach. There was a street market happening at the time and we stopped here after we were finished browsing the market. It was a beautiful day, so the taproom had their roll up door open and there were several food trucks in the courtyard area. Had a local beer and enjoyed the outside area. Overall it was an awesome stop during our travels.

A great place to enjoy a beverage (non alcoholic or alcoholic). I love the combo taproom with Pilot House Distilling and Buoy Beer, and the expansive patio that allows dogs! This location is also one of the warmest spots on a summer day (reduce wind), which is rare on the North coast. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating! There is a few choices for different food options making it a great pick for a group.

This place isn’t worth going to. The bartenders wasn’t that nice to us. Treated us like he wanted us to leave. The food isn’t good at all. A waste of money. I would not recommend going here. There are way better places and by far better food and beer. Buoy beer has taken a dive for the worse.

New location. This was supposed to open at the Youngs River but moved to here because of issues. This location is probably better anyways. They're serving a few good $5 beers!!!! Finally, somewhat affordable beers again 😁 Don't come here for food if you're a non-meat eater. Very few choices in the food carts. There's a horrible grill smell here.

I really like the Buoy Czech Style Pilsner. Tried multiple different ones but it remains my favorite. Nice indoor and outdoor seating taproom.

Awesome beer flight and super friendly staff, who were planning to drive to the port to return a bag to the cruise ship that a fellow passenger left behind. Thankfully he realized he left it and came back, but their willingness to help was awesome.

While we didn't eat any food at the food trucks here, the beer was wonderful! It is Oregon after all. Included in this location is a distillery. They do a magnificent job at their craft. I sampled a number of gin's, and they were all well done. Don't miss this gem!
