Astoria is such a great seaside town that is about an hour from Portland or about 3.5 hours from Seattle. If you enjoy a sleepy town with some great food and drink, then be sure to check out Astoria.
Where is Astoria located?
Astoria, Oregon is only a 30 minute drive from Long Beach! It is a great town to check out if you are spending a few days on the coast. Here are some places to check out!
Where to Stay
My husband surprised me with a trip that he planned (shocked!) and he ended up choosing a cute hotel right in the middle of downtown. If it was a bit warmer and not raining when we went, you could easily walk everywhere from the hotel.
Hotel Elliott
- Address: 357 12th St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Our room was super cute and clean. The hotel has been around for awhile – it was build in 1924! Don’t forget to check out the rooftop! This would be a great place to have a wedding or event too.
Buoy Beer Company
- Address: 1 8th St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Buoy is right on the waterfront so you can get some pretty great views. Be sure to try and cup of their chowder!
Astoria Brewing Company
- Address: 144 11th St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Another great spot on the waterfront. I recommend their strawberry hazy pale ale.
Fort George Brewery
- Address: 1483 Duane St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Come hungry to Fort George. We got the forest pizza, which was topped with a lot of mushrooms!
Reach Break Brewing
- Address: 1343 Duane St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Reach break has a lot full of food trucks which can make for a fun few hours! When we visited they were doing only outdoor seating under a tent.
Godfather’s Books
- Address: 1108 Commercial St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Godfather’s has a nice mixture of both new and used books. If you also want coffee you can get that here!
Lucy’s Books
- Address: 951 Commercial St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Lucy’s Books has such a nice selection of new books. The selection is small, but it is nicely curated.
The Rusty Cup
- Address: 1213 Commercial St, Astoria, OR 97103
- This is such a cute little coffee shop with really good breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos! I recommend their honey lavender latte as well.
Blaylock’s Whiskey Bar
- Address: 433 13th St, Astoria, OR 97103
- This spot was my favorite find in Astoria. This is a super cool speakeasy style whiskey bar with the most beautiful bar area. My husband enjoyed a few mixed cocktails and ended the night with the Glengoyne 10 year with a few rocks. Glengoyne is the distillery we visited outside of Edinburgh, Scotland back in 2017. We had never seen the scotch anywhere so he had to get it. I got the key lime drink and it was AMAZING! If you like key lime pie, you have to get this in drink form.
Tora Sushi Lounge
- Address: 1197 Commercial St, Astoria, OR 97103
- Tora ended up being a really good sushi spot! I got hot tea, miso soup, two sushi rolls and gyoza! I left very satisfied.
Wreck of Peter Iredale
- Address: Peter Iredale Rd, Hammond, OR 97121
- Just outside of Astoria in Warrenton, you can check out the wreck of Peter Iredale right at the beach. This wreck happened in 1906, so its pretty cool to check out and see what is left of the ship! It is mainly just the front hull at this point. When the tide goes out, you can walk all the way around it.
