Public Coast Brewing Co

So for $174 plus $20 tip we got: -Dirty fries with barely anything on them (seriously how do you do loaded fries without cheese???) -$35 halibut -over salted pretzel -root beer that is way too sweet -meh burger you could get anywhere else, nothing noteworthy We came here two years ago and was impressed. Now we don’t want to come back, ever

Great food in cannon beach, the fish and chips were excellent. I would say a little on the expensive side but they were phenomenal definitely the best I had in Oregon while I was visiting. Great beer and clam chowder. 10/10

Great atmosphere, food and drinks! We stopped by after a hike at Ecola State Park, and highly recommend to anyone in the area I ordered the veggie burger - delicious and could tell it was made in house as there were mushrooms and nuts in there. My husband got the wings and burger and liked both Tried the beer flight and liked how fun the different flavors were including the coconut and hibiscus options

Best place in Cannon Beach for gluten free options. Had the fish and chips… and the fish was great, crispy on the outside and flaky/tender on the inside. They also have ciders on tap. The blueberry cider was crisp and light. Per the other reviews, yes, the service isn’t like what it would be a a sit down restaurant with traditional wait-staff… but they make it very clear how to order. And if you miss the signs I’m sure they will help you out. Everyone was friendly and helpful!

Public Coast Brewing Co is our favorite brew pub in Cannon Beach. They have a wide variety of gluten free options, including some of the best fish and chips in the area, and creamy clam chowder. We have enjoyed the fish and chips, chicken Caesar salad, clam chowder, and a variety of other options over the last couple of years. They have a wide variety of beers and ciders on tap, along with draft root beer, cream soda, and other sodas (last time it was blueberry cream soda). You order at the counter and take a buzzer to seat yourself inside, at the bar, or outside at a picnic table or near their outdoor fire pit. They have a clean restroom with Oregon costal history posted on the walls (at least in the men’s room… who knows what mysteries await the patrons of the lady’s room…)

Eight of us stopped in for an early meal and local beers. The staff was very friendly and the food arrived quite quickly after placing our order. We enjoyed sitting outside to enjoy our meal and the weather.

I’ve always liked Public Coast Brewing, but my visit today was a let-down. My $35 fish and chips arrived with the tartar sauce container melted into the fries, and the fish was so overcooked it was tough and dry. The presentation alone made it hard to want to eat, and the quality raised concerns about food safety. For the price, I expected something fresh and well-prepared, not a meal that looked and tasted like it had been forgotten in the kitchen. Hoping this was just a one-off, but it definitely made me think twice about coming back.

Nice large outdoor seating area for people and dogs. Bit of a wait in line to order with only one cashier, but they bring the food out to your table promptly. The hummus plate is a delicious healthy appetizer, enough for several people. I had the fish tacos. Nice sized portion, need to add the salsa for some flavor. The root beer is to die for!

We've been wanting to try this place for a while. We visit Cannon Beach specifically to breathe the coastal air and walk along the beach, to Haystack Rock and back, and then we head back home. We don't usually stay in town to have a meal. But on this particular day we decided to live a little and spend a full afternoon in town. :) Public Coast has a super casual & relaxed atmosphere (what I love most about the Oregon Coast) with indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered at the counter and then chose a picnic table outside near the fire pit bar. Our table was in full sun which I desperately needed, but there are also plenty of tables under the pergola (which were all occupied while we were there). Lots of people outside enjoying the gorgeous day along with their well behaved dogs. :) The staff were kind and service was good and our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Sea Salt Pretzel which has Jacobsen sea salt (my absolute fave salt), the Brewer's plate, and Oregon grass fed beef burger, along with 2 beers, the Coconut Brown Ale for me and the Coastal Haze IPA for hubby. My beer tasted like a coconut cold brew coffee, lol, and it was good but just not what I was expecting, even though it is a suggested pairing with the brewer's plate. I wish I had ordered the Coastal Haze instead. Of the items we ordered the pretzel was definitely my favorite, along with the cheese sauce. We sat for about an hour and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed vibe and time in the sunshine. They also have plenty of merch inside that looked really cute; I like their branding. I think it's definitely worth a stop on your way in or out of town.

The Business manager contacted me via Yelp! and asked me to give their restaurant another chance, since I originally gave a review that I was disappointed with the quality of their food. I agreed to it since I feel in most cases, everyone deserves a second chance. The b manager also stated he was willing to offer me an entree on the house, which I thought was a nice thing to do. I specifically told him I would be there on a Tuesday, ahead of time and gave him the date I would be there as well. He told me to ask for him when I got there. To my surprise, when I got there today, I was about to make my way to the restaurant, after a fun day at the beach, when I noticed it stated it was closed on my google maps. When I looked up their days open, Tuesday was one of their "Closed" days. Really?! I messaged him just a couple of days ago to confirm I would be there today (on a Tuesday) and he NEVER mentioned they were closed on Tuesdays. I mean he could at least said so. In other words, I believe the only reason he offered me a free entree was because he KNEW they would be closed on my day of arrival! I also gave him the opportunity to explain this to me via a private message and he never responded! I am a native Portlander and I am pretty sure he is not, because this is NOT the way we treat people who have any decency here! I work with Tourist for my profession and I will NEVER recommend this restaurant to them! This just bad business!

Came here for lunch to try some of the GF foods. Surprised that you order at the counter- but that's fine. Smaller seating area than I thought. But nice outdoor area for when the sun is out. Got GF dish tacos which were delicious! Homemade corn tortillas were certainly good and the dish was very fresh. Others got the burger. Was good but their special sauce was underwhelming, coulda used more! Very good homemade root beer.

Another great experience! We sat outdoors as usual. The service was good and the peeps were chill. I tried a new sour beer. Enjoyed the hummus platter this time. Best hummus platter be a brewery ever. There was a great selection of veggies and the hummus was incredible! Enough for 3 people. We also tried the amazing barbecue wings and were beyond satisfied. We were able to buy a great selection of beers and seltzers on our way out. Check this place out!

Probably one of the best fish in fish n chips I've had. The cod was fresh, breading was crisp and fresh, oil Not stale and the homemade tartar sauce was good too. I didn't care for the fries-- they were just too thick. We also ordered a lb or chicken wings in garlic parm flavor plus ranch. It was just good enough. I guess getting used to our favorite Milk Drunk, a Seattle local, is hard because that sets the expectations. I didn't like that the wings were 'wet' with sauce and oil: it was flavorful though and I like that they came with carrot and celery sticks to chase the oil away. Their blonde brew was sooo good tho, and worth a trip back just all be itself. Biggest point-- this place is family, kid, and let friendly. We will be back!

First time here as I've been to Cannon beach several times. Participated in the Cannon Beach Fat Tire event and our check in was here. We were given free drink tickets so we stayed and had a beer. This location has a nice front entrance with outdoor seating and a fire pit. We sat outside. Had their Hazy IPA...loved it! On Saturday we rode into town prior to the start of the event and it began to rain so we decided to ride to this location to get out of the rain. It was wasn't crowded so we ordered a beer and pretzel to share. Of course there were other cyclists there and we had a nice chat with them until it was time to depart. Love the vibe and their Hazy IPA. I'm a fan, plus it's not super crowded like its competitor down the street and around the corner.

Amazing food and service. We were greeted right at opening with a happy smile by Malachi and the Manager Ron was there at the register waiting to take orders and help out anyway he could, even stopped by our table outside to make sure our food was to our liking. Definitely recommend if you're in Cannon beach or even just passing through.... Very dog friendly patio and my kids loved all the cute pupppers

Stopped here after visiting Cannon Beach, and wow... it was delicious. My gf was craving fish so we got the fish n chips, fish tacos, and clam chowder. SO GOOD. It really hit the spot after a cold day on the coast. The cider and seltzer were also very refreshing. Exceeded expectations!

It was pouring rain and we popped in for a beer, apparently with everybody else because there wasn't a seat to be had. Small place but the beer was good.

Hands down the best veggie burger I've ever eaten. In the future, I will drive from Portland just for their house made mushroom walnut burger served on a homemade bun. (Walk to Haystack Rock a close second on my list!) Oh and did I mention the side salad with pickled carrots and honey blueberry vinaigrette? Someone in that kitchen loves veggies and it shows. The beer was delish too - my husband had a coconut stout and I went with the blueberry seltzer. The ambiance is unique and special -- an homage to Oregon Public beaches and the 1967 legislation that gifted Oregonians public assess. A recording plays in the bathroom of the legislature debate and passage of the bill. Is it strange I wanted to hang out longer in the bathroom of a brew pub?? Public Coast Brew Co is special all around and will now be part of our regular Cannon Beach visit.

I had the Oregon grass-fed hamburger and it was delicious! The service was excellent and we received our food pretty quickly in spite of it being pretty crowded. we sat outside and with the cool breeze from the coast and the table being in the Sun, we were comfortable. I would recommend this restaurant!

I adore the meaning behind this business! They're passionate about keeping Oregon's beaches public for all to enjoy. The name & artwork show dedication to their cause. I ordered a raspberry ale, it was tart and delicious. The food was on the pricier side, however it did hit the spot! Everything was clean and the staff were pleasant. For the prices they charge, I'm not dying to try the food again, but I'd happily pop in to enjoy a drink next time I'm at the coast.

Amazing wings, salads, burgers, onion rings and local beer. Lots of seating and very comfortable. Love the vibe.

I have been wanting to try this place since I have seen it on celiac travel groups and it didn't not disappoint. First of all I haven't had onion rings in 20 years! They were delicious and I can't wait to have them again next time I drive out to cannon beach. The wings were great too. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Service was quick. Can't wait to go in the summer and enjoy the outdoor area. I will definitely be back! Celiac dream!

Beer is good and so is the food. I'm not a huge fan though of the "set up" of this place. You stand in line and order before you take a seat. Then, if you want more drinks, you have to scan the bar code at your table and open a tab via an app. It works, we got our drinks in a timely manner...but I'd much prefer just having a waiter/waitress instead.

This place is off the beaten path in touristy Cannon Beach, and I'm so happy this gem was literally steps away from our AirBnb. The vibes were super casual, and service was great, and the food was good. For my meal I shared the pretzel with cheese and a veggie burger and both were delicious! The veggie burger was hearty and I especially loved the vegan jalapeno aioli that came with it. The other people in our party got the hummus plate (a gorgeous, huge hummus plate with tons of fresh veggies and pita bread), the regular burger, and chicken wings. Everyone was happy with their meal and especially loved how laid back the atmosphere was. Overall I found the place to be a little expensive, but we had a great meal so I would definitely come back here on our next visit!

Food and staff are awesome. Their drinks are good as well. Highly recommend this place if your in cannon beach

Cannon Beach on the weekends is a zombie apocalypse but instead of brains they seek parking. Save yourself the stress and head to the creek instead of the beach. The beer and food are solid and there's plenty of free parking. Agile adaptive tourists head to the bar as there's no waiting.

We didn't eat here, stopped in to try some of the beer. The food offerings looked good, we had already eaten. The tigers blood cider was my favorite of the flights, and my companion ordered a growler to go. Service was prompt and friendly. People were chilling and enjoying this beautiful day. The place was immaculately clean. Fun place to spend some time while visiting this area.

Good food. Good prices. Fish and chips and fish tacos are pretty good. Locals seem to eat there and like it. That's always a plus.

Locally made beers and amazing made root beer!!! Several awards already at hand, they have a proud merch store by the alcove on your way in. Yes! they have collaboration with Muir mugs :D soft T shirts and to-go beers; some in singles some in a pack of 4. Their fish and chips, and chicken burger was amazing! Booths were spacious. It's cafeteria style where you seat yourself after ordering. They bring out food so don't forget to tip! Compared to another brewery pub restaurant down the street, their selection although smaller, is still good and you save at least half when eating here.

Super friendly and helpful. Came in to watch game 7 of the Stanley Cup and they were more than willing to put it on for me. Laura was very accommodating and even introduced me to a taster of their other beers which were all exceptional. Looking forward to coming back.

Nice brewery at a sleepy beach town! I had their non alcoholic seltzer and I can't remember its name but it's lavender flavor with another flavor, and it tasted like soap. My boyfriend ordered one of their award winning beers but he said it was just okay. The Brewer's plate is a small snack-y plate of cheese and meat. I wish they included more bread or crackers. Four pieces of bread? Their math wasn't mathing given all the other accompaniments.

Nice ambiance with inside and outside seating! Tried the cherry seltzer it was yummy! They had a variety of beer options no sours on the menu when I was there. The veggie burger was very crumbly- not my favorite. It would be nice to have options such as house made party or beyond burger etc. Service was okay- no one checked in on me to see if I needed anything but my food was prompt in coming out.

Lots of parking, relaxed atmosphere, good amount of gluten free options. My second time here and I think I liked it even better this time. We had the blueberry seltzer, beach cider, fish tacos, chicken fingers, onion rings, and clam chowder. We agreed the clam chowder was some if the best we have had! Even debated on stopping by on the way out of town to get some to take home. Always friendly service when ordering and checking on us after the food was delivered to the table.

$28 for two Caesar salads of white lettuce w brown specks and hardly any dressing and six sad looking pretzel bits. Will not recommend.

My husband and I stopped in for their PUBLIC COAST IPA BRINED CHICKEN SALAD; it was fabulous! So much flavor! Friendly service, too!

Blueberry Wheat beer is pretty good Fish tacos were pretty good Chicken salad was pretty good Lots of families with small kids so it's a bit loud atmosphere Root beer float is really good

Short version - The most generous service and great food. Long version - We brought three generations to Public Coast today - dad, daughter, and granddaughter. The outdoor seating was welcoming (including cute sign welcoming and setting ground rules for our dogs) and comfortable. We ordered fish and chips and a burger. We welcomed the gluten free options because my daughter has Celiac. BUT I forgot to order her burger with a gf bun. Totally my fault. When I headed to the counter to correct my mistake, our server, Angela, swept the plate from my hands ready to make everything right. And she kindly reassured me I wasn't a terrible mother, even though I felt like one! When Angela and I explained to Malachi at the counter, he went into full gear to help. They efficiently boxed up the mistaken meal; replaced it with a gluten free version; and did all of it with a smile. Great experience. Highly recommend.

Beer was good, my husband definitely enjoyed all the tasters. Everyone was friendly, lots of seating. And they have coffee! Cute merchandise too.

Came here a few minutes before opening and there was a crowd waiting to go in! There's lots of seating inside and outside. The burger was yummy but definitely pricey for a regular cheeseburger. The blueberry seltzer was refreshing as it was both tangy and sweet.

The beer was good, the onion rings are FABULOUS! The pulled pork sandwich wasn't worth the price and the $20 burger was just okay. The pork wasn't tender and the brioche bun didn't add anything to make it better. Might return for beer and onion rings!

When you come to the beach to breathe, you visit PCB to drink. Location is at the end of the main strip and that makes it easier to find off the street spots. A few spots if you are lucky in back of the brewery. Great looking brewery ~ cool Adirondack chairs & picnic tables all around the front patio. Pups lounging everywhere. Water bowls offered kindly! Sounds funny but inside is spacious yet cozy. Bathrooms clean. Awesome mural art slogan, Beaches forever, Beer for everyone". Smiley service ~ order at the counter first, find a seat, and they will bring everything out to your table. We sat outside but they also have chill bartop seating underneath the indoor pergola. Tasty Menu ~ they source from their own farmstead! Cool fact ~ the greenhouse is 100% powered from solar panels. Perfectly battered onion rings, great fish & chips. PCB took time to make almost everything gluten-free if desired. Tasty Brews ~ gold award winning '67 Blonde Ale, gold award Coconut Brown Ale smooth & lite. Loved drinking the marshmallow milky S'mores Stout! A must visit everytime we visit Cannon Beach.

Our first stop upon arrival to cannon beach. We sat outside with our dog and ordered a couple beers and I had the cherry seltzer which was good! We split the root beer bbq chicken wings and onion rings. The root beer bbq is truly heavy on the root beer flavor, but it was good! The onion rings were really delicious as well. The outdoor patio was nice and service was good too. You order inside and then they will bring your food to your table. I enjoyed our visit!

If you are craving a good craft beer and a juicy burger, Public Coast Brewing is a good option. With several beers on tap and even a hard cider - which is what I drink - everyone can find something they will enjoy. Our group had the Coastal IPA and the Blonde. I had the blueberry hard cider, very refreshing. You order and pay at the bar, menu on the board above, and they give you a number for your table and deliver the food. The burgers arrived hot, right off the grill, cheese all ooey and gooey with crisp and tasty fries. If burgers aren't your thing, they have chicken wings, hot dogs, a huge German hot pretzel, clam chowder, fish & chips and even a few salads. Can't speak to the taste on any of those options since all five in our group got the burgers. Lots of picnic tables outside, and tables inside as well. Just wish there was more shade as we were there on an uncharacteristically hot (88) degree day.

Wow! Came here because of the large, covered outdoor seating as we have a dog. I'll come back for the fish and chips! Fish tacos and chowder were also hits. Sorry, pics are from after we started eating! Make this place your lunch or dinner. I don't do alcohol really, but I'm sure that's good too. I'm a big guy that likes to eat, but I love to eat this battered fish. Service was kind and brought fresh water in a bowl to my dog. They were polite and listened when we asked for an adjustment to our order. The outdoor weather was good and the clean ocean air made being outside a great option. There's a large fire element outdoors, too for heat. Overall, we'll come back.

Four of us stopped in here for lunch. You immediately getting into a line and order from a counter and then they bring it out to your table. The line did not move along very quickly but it was ok. We ordered and after 35 minutes of waiting for a sandwich- I asked a waitress to check on our order. (We had seen people seated long after us get out meal- so we thought something was up). She walked right up to the pick up counter and all of the meals were just sitting there... who knows for how long. the fries were cold so at least long enough for that. Get a beer for sure, but eat somewhere else.

My North Coast go-to! Great beer, and tasty food. I was raised on clam chowder and there's is solid. Great pub fare all around, but tried the dirty fries for the first time today - heaven!

First off, this is located in the same town as The Goonies rock so that alone makes it worth the stop! It's very popular, plenty of summer tourists, so finding seating was a challenge. They have counter service, so you wait in line to order, then they give you a number & bring the food out. I recommend the fish-n-chips, paired with a cherry seltzer- a great lunch. They also have a small bar if you are wanting to sample their microbrews only.

Great beer, great vibes, been coming here for years - since the days of before the Lumberyard and Clark's! Love this place. Check it out for some award winning beers and good fun! Check out @simplypnweats on Instagram for more!

Food is always good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The best GF onion rings ever. My husband isn't GF and loved them, if I didn't tell him they were GF he wouldn't have known. This is now a mandatory stop whenever I'm near Cannon Beach.

Everything about this spot was AMAZING. Service, people, quality of food. Would come back here in a heart beat. They understand the concept of heathy delicious meals and use local ingredients. Amazing

Great food and top-notch brews. We have tasted many beers in the PNW, and they absolutely bring it with their flavors. Highly recommend.

One of my favorite breweries in the coast. Great delicious and hoppy beer. Fish and chips are on point. We make a point to go here when we got to the coast. Plenty of indoor seating, some outdoor seating but it is first come first serve for seating.

Orders: Rosemary Imperial IPA + Coastal Haze IPA | Clam Chowder | Sea Salt Fressen Bakery Pretzel + House Made Beer Cheese! | Haystack o' Sea Salty French Fries This place is so awesome!!!! I wish I had been hungrier because they have a grass-fed, locally sourced beef burger that looks amazing as well as some "Dirty Fries" piled with mushrooms, bacon, cheese, bbq sauce & more! Ah!!! I impulse bought some chowder & it was so good with my gal pal's fries. Strongly recommend you do the same. The staff was so fun & lovely, guiding our beer journeys! We were there on some sort of lady-boss lunch date & the gent who let us sample beers was so great as well as the busser who took excellent care of us on the patio, keeping our areas (that shifted with the sun) clean & recommending a bomb combo of the Hazy IPA + Rosemary IPA to me, which he then relayed to my gf in line for me so I didn't have to get up from my Adirondack chair! The best!!!!!! Thank you guys & gals and can't wait til next time!!!! - - - - :))) - - - - Side notes! Cannon Beach has such a stroll-able downtown with so many great shops, all of which abide by nature-honoring rules like "no lights on business signs that point up", which creates light pollution & muddles the stars. Tons of efforts have been made to keep the downtown from becoming a giant sky-rise coast, keeping it adorable and surfy feeling. According to my local BFF Rachel, "Public Coast" is named after the fact that the beaches are public - no one gets to own the beach, they get to live along it. Love the community & nature-first mentality here so much!!!

Brought the family here for dinner on a Sunday night. We were lucky enough to grab one of the last tables available inside. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The kids enjoyed their burgers and especially loved the root beer floats for dessert. I had fish tacos and a side of my new favorite clam chowder. My husband enjoyed the chicken salad and tasting a few of the beers. The staff was friendly and able to answer all of our questions. I plan on stopping back in before our trip ends for another meal.

Service, the lady was nice, but you order at the counter, and clean your own table, so not much service. The food however, was really good, especially for cannon beach. We got the salad, chicken, and the bbq pork sandwich with onion rings. My husband gave the salad a 10, and the bbq pork sandwich was good. I would and will be back. Honestly, it's hard to find good food here. Either weird hours, weird reservations, or outrageous prices for mediocre food.

The staff are very nice, the food is great portions and absolutely delicious (fish tacos and bbq pulled pork sandwich), and the beer is good. Table was cleaned very well and the gusset was extremely attentive. Leaving a review because only 3.7 stars is a disgrace. Should be 4.5+ easy

Very friendly service and it was great to have vegan and gluten free options! Best root beer!

Gluten free fish & chips! WHAT?? Yes please & THANK YOU!! The best ever!! I can't remember the last time I could have fish & chips?... (gluten boooo) I'm not a fan of the long waiting to order or reorder, no table service but they will run your food out to you. I wasn't made aware at first that you can skip the long line & reorder from the bar, this is super helpful. Clean, and inviting. Large area of merch for sale. It was really busy in there on a Friday early afternoon, I'd recommend having someone hold a table for you as soon as you get in there to avoid not having seating.
