    OK, this is way more like it. Having previously suffered through the Wet Dog Cafe experience, we were hoping that there would be a great (or even good) brew pub experience available in Astoria. The weekend found us in Astoria again, cold and hungry after a scenic motorbike ride from Portland. Fort George sounded like just the place on Yelp, so here we were. Loved the place from the outside (it's an old Ford garage from way back), great atmosphere, lively. Joy of joys, people who work here actually like working here! The food was better than average for a brew pub: my burger and chowder were perfect, the fries just right. The Frau had fish and chips, which she also pronounced perfect, and a glass of house-brewed ginger beer, which she pronounced yummy. Good to see people of all ages here (kids, old folks, families, etc.) Yeah, our new go-to place in Astoria!

    I love me some Ft. George beer! Their Vortex IPA rates very high on my favored IPA list. After visiting the brewpub in Astoria a couple of times now, I gotta say it's a great place. I was excited to hear that they have expanded their brewing system into the building next door, and will be canning one of their beers by next year! Their seasonal Omegatex was a pretty hopalicious addition to the beer list. They also brew an awesome wasabi ginger ale for the non-drinkers. The service has been great on both visits. The food menu is pretty extensive for a brew pub, but it is a bit on the pricey side (really you can't expect anything but overpriced on the coast). The fish and chips are made with albacore, which is different and may not be for everyone. I will definitely stop at Ft. George anytime I am in a 20 mile radius of Astoria. I'll be coming solely for the beer and skipping the food.

    Sunday was our first trip to Ft. George. Got a table right away. A fine place to spend a gray day. I ordered a taster board and a very helpful, knowledgeable waitron explained all 11 beers (all 11). They have a pretty good printed guide to the regular beers on tap so I would have liked time spent on the seasonals and any trivia associated with the other offerings. I must admit after 8 tasters you begin to get brew fatigue but right then our tasty chicken/blue cheese/chile sandwich showed up accompanied by excellent fresh-cut fries. Left with a warm glow. I'd go back for another taster but I could be talked into a pint of their Quick Witt or Working Girl, or heck, any of the 11 I tasted. I am a fan.

    We went in for a brew, but the food looked pretty good, we were just full from dinner not had but an hour before. I would suggest getting the taster tray, at 12.50 it's a great deal and you get every one they make. even got a taster of their wasabi ginger ale (which was different and i liked it, you get a back note of wasabi flavor without the heat) The atmosphere is light, great vibe, kid friendly (if your looking for that) The beers were good, not exactly my favorites, but they were good. the ipa was proper, and the stout was well done. The working girl porter fell flat for me. They had a lot of light summer beers, and a couple of "girlie" beers. I suppose my only objection was that they said their stout was in the "terminator" fashion. not trying to be a hater, i just don't like mcminamins beers. But to recap, this was an enjoyable space. the service is on the slower side but quite friendly, expect a wait and children. if it's not too chilly the patio is a good option.

    Ignore the negative reviews! The beer is great, the music is loud and the food is worth coming back for -- especially the Bean Burrito and Jambalaya .. Sean the Waiter Guy should be given a raise for putting up with us ..

    Well worth a stop. I uploaded a few photos. I'm considering buying Property in Astoria (did you know it's WARMER THERE ALL WINTER?) so it is a MUSt for me to get to know the Breweries better. They had beer AND food worth enjoying. We ate all we wanted - and took home leftovers. Also enjoyed a laff with staff. I love it when that happens. Easy to find, just go left off Mrine Drive, as you come into town and park rith away. It's also very near Area Properties, if you want to see the MANY GREAT home-buying bargains. Just stop in and ask for Sandy Calvert (she'll take good acare of you if you are a Buyer - I'm very impressed with the way she's been right on everything I've needed! there's just NO way a Portland Broker could be as useful in Astoria...) I like that Wet Dog Brewery Down on the Pier too...will try upload pix of it soon.

    I'm really glad we did dinner here on the recommendation of the proprietor at our B&B even though we were tired and not that hungry. It was just down the hill from where we were staying, so and easy walk over there. My husband tried the beer sampler and really liked a lot of their offerings; they have a great, distinctive style. The food was fantastic. It was fresh (like everything else we tried in Oregon, really) and thoughtfully prepared which was a huge plus in a pub establishment. I highly recommend this place; they really seem to have their brand and what they're about down pat.

    I went here on a tue. Night with my GF since we both have had their beers and enjoyed them(plus we wanted to try the beers they don't can). Upon arriving we were greeted by a very friendly and energetic bartender/server. We sat at the bar and ordered the beer sampler tray. The bartender then explained each beer in depth and gave a personal favorite. We enjoyed all the beers!! They brew some quality beers! Next we ordered the sausage sampler platter. 4 different kinds of sausages made in house. 2 out of the 4 were really tasty!! The chorizo and the spicy sausage were kind of bland. The sweet Italian and garlic sausage were very good. We also shared a conversation with the other bartender who was very friendly and informative. He suggested we come back to the taproom since the taproom has different beers than the restaurant. Overall we really enjoyed Fort George and recommend it to any beer lover that finds themselves in Astoria. Definitely a better experience than the one we had earlier that day at The Wet Dog.

    Great food... my favorites are the Rock Fish Tacos and the Albacore Fish and Chips. A little on the expensive side, but worth it. I really enjoy the Nut Red Ale, Vortex IPA and the Wasabi Ginger Ale. Great, friendly staff, and quick service. Overall great place.

    Need a nice place to stop on your way to the beach? Skip the famous but disappointing chowder places, and hit Fort George instead. You can drink delicious beers and eat yummy food. Don't know what you want to drink? Try the taster tray. Other microbreweries have 4, or 5, or 6 items on the taster trays. Not Fort George. We had 11 different brews to sample--woo hoo! All of them were good, and some were quite interesting (a Mexican hot chocolate porter; a mango beer, etc). The menu is smaller than some microbreweries, but there are plenty of options. I had a chicken and blue cheese melt, and my husband had an Anaheim Pepper burger, which he said was pretty fantastic. The service was great, and the atmosphere was fun. Definitely recommended.

    We stopped here on the way through town, and were impressed by the place. The beer was top-notch, and, being amateur home brewers, we asked the waiter quite a few questions about the selection. He was happy to speak beer-geek with us, and even brought a couple little samples for us to try before we ordered our pints. I had the Belgian, my husband the Vortex. Both were delicious, as was the house-made sausage sampler. For our 5-year-old, they had a good kid's menu -- he had a huge bean-and-cheese burrito with absolutely nothing objectionable in it, which can sometimes be a challenge when feeding someone who thinks ketchup is spicy. There were toys, too, and the waiter went out of his way to be sure we had what we needed. An enjoyable stop!

    This place is truely amazing! Maybe a small wait but well worth it. The atmosphere is awesome the view is beautiful if your on the patio. Beer is great we had the quick Witt and cider both amazing. Food is great we had the verde burrito and wings probably the best spicy burrito I've had highly recommend these items. You can't go wrong. Service was great too! If your in the area you must try!!

    I went to Fort George with in a group of 11 people while in Astoria for work. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant a lot; it seemed like a cool, laid-back kind of a place and there were a bunch of hipsters around. I loved the signs on the bathroom that say "men and/or women." It cracked our table up. I didn't have any drinks since I had to work, but everyone at my table seemed to like their beer. I had the iced tea which was brewed way too strong for my tastes, but my food was pretty good. I had the falafel with a salad plus I tried some of the coleslaw. The coleslaw and falafel were delicious, but my salad dressing was kind of gross. I ordered the salad with the vinegarette dressing on the side, and it just appeared to be a small cup of oil. It didn't taste like much. Other than the minor food issues which weren't a big deal, my only complaint is that since the server put our food as seperate tickets, we all got our food at different times. The first person got their food more than 10 minutes before the last person at our table was served. That was a little weird because I don't like to eat when someone else is sitting there hungry. Great experience overall though. Good food and good times for sure.

    I think the beer deserves 4 stars, that's what they are - a Brewery. We got the tasters here, fantastic selection of brews, brought some vortex ipa back with us. Service at the bar was good, fun and easy. Food was probably 3 star, not fantastic, not bad at all, but not the greatest brew food I've had. Can't emphasize enough - vortex ipa!

  • Jason F.

    Really bad beer, flat, the food is even worse. I have been there a few times and hoped that the food improved. I did not. One time the hamburger was undercooked, another time the hamburger was crunchy. Yes overcooked. The fries each time were dark brown. This is known as 2nd. Saturday fries. Overcooked on Saturday and served on the following Saturday. They just opened a space for serving food on the second floor. I see people in there. I suppose people enjoy horrible food. I wouldn't feed livestock food from Fort George brewery. Just don't go there. There are plenty of good restaurants in Astoria.

  • Tony Y.

    Decent seafood and good microbrew. i ordered the fried oysters which were yummy but small portioned. i ordered it with chips and salsa to try it out, and wished i had it with the fries. the beer is typical micro brew (i ordered the ipa which did have a freshness without the bitter taste to it.) and the fish tacos were tasty, but nothing to call home over.

  • Amy C.

    I love this place. It has consistently good beer (I'm a big fan of the Vortex IPA and the Nut Red), and great staff & space. I've never eaten anything there that I liked, though. However, I will not give up! Every trip to Astoria deserves a stop at Ft. George.

    Fort George is a welcoming brewpub, about a block off of the main strip that also turned out to be within walking distance of our B&B. I tried a few of their beers, which are all very much in the west-coast hoppy style. Their IPA is very smooth, and you wouldn't know it's over 7% ABV of the beer list didn't tell you. I also enjoyed the Nut Red Ale and the Mango Beer. My fiancee had the Witbeer, which was also very tasty. I had the hanger steak, which was really, really flavorful, cooked well and was an excellent value. My fiancee had the burger,which came out cooked exactly as ordered. Her fries arrived later because they didn't want the burger to get cold while the fries were cooking. We liked the place enough that we went back for lunch. I had the Italian Sausage, which was very tasty although I found the meat to be too finely ground for my taste. My fiancee had the black bean burrito, which she enjoyed. The place is on the noisy side, but still manages to be somewhat family-friendly, as long as you aren't hung up about your kids seeing grown-ups drink. (I wouldn't be, but perspectives vary.) The space is bright and welcoming during the day, and comfortably lit in the evening. There's lots of hand-made metalwork on the bar stools and other fixtures, and the carefully painted bathrooms are well worth checking out. Make two trips and be sure to see both - they're very different.

    Their stout is one of the best ones I've ever had. Server was nice, great atmosphere. Shared a sample tray and a salmon dip appetizer. Good beer and great snack. I could have lost myself in here for the afternoon! Will visit again if I am in Astoria. Also, the wasabi ginger ale (nonalcoholic) was surprisingly good!

  • Mike K.

    Two words: Sausage sampler YEAH! comes with spicy mustard, cheese, and bread. Just the thing to go with their tasty beers.

  • Mike R.

    3.5 It's always nice to have yelp when you are on the road traveling...I hate wasting a meal. We looked this place up when traveling up the OR coast and it was good. Foodwise we had the steak burrito, fish tacos, salmon spread and a beer cheese soup. Everything was solid except the soup which needed seasoning. Of course I was drawn to the beer which was good, not great. We had the vortex ipa, the wit, and the cohoperation. The ipa wasn't as bold as I would like, the wit was too bold, and the cohoperation was just right. Overall this was a meal not wasted...the place had a cool vibe and the food and beer were good. I'd go back if in the area.

  • Patrick P.

    The good - the beer was fine, I had the taster tray, and the Working Girl Porter stood out. The rest were OK. We had the Smoked Salmon appetizer, tasted great. The average - my tuna melt sandwich was alright, nothing special. The service could have been more attentive, but they did take care of us. The bad - I've never seen my teenage son NOT finish a hamburger, but he said it was "nasty" and left over half on his plate. Same with my daughter's hot dog. The wife's fish from the fish and chips didn't cut it, either. Don't plan on eating at this place again.

  • M P.

    I give this 5 stars based on the combo of great beer and food. Had the ahi fish and chips. Unique and tasty. IPA was very good. Took a growler of IPA and oatmeal pale ale to go.

  • Katherine K.

    Service: SLOW!! We waited for over 30 minutes for a burger and sausage. Food: Bland!! Burger was minus flavor. All I could taste was the tomato and bread. Sausage was bland and had to send it back, Beer: Good. But nothing better than any of the other amazing micro brew pubs in Oregon. Overall I would not recommend going. Oh and the burger and 2 beers cost us $20!!! They did take off the sausage but still...

  • Ryann J.

    Good beer, homemade carrot cake, and friendly people. They have games you can play at your table, they allow dogs on their patio, which has a lot of picnic tables, and they have great beer flights. It was $15 for a 12 beer sampler of 2 oz each. A little pricey, but I loved trying all their beers and found a couple that were great. You can see the river from the outdoor tables. Great place to relax with a drink. I didn't have a meal, but it seemed to be mostly burritos, wraps, fries, etc.

    I came here with my family on a gorgeous day, and the place was packed. We waited a long time for a table, and when we checked on our table status, the maitre-d claimed our name had been called multiple times, even though my Dad was sitting and watching the entire time. After sitting and waiting an acceptable amount of time for service, we got a lack luster uncaring waitress who ended up never coming back - another took her place. After ordering, we watched numerous other patrons get moved and forgotten. The food and beer is delicious - IF it even comes, and IF you even get what you asked for. A man next to us clearly stated he didn't want bacon or onions on his burger...guess what he got? No staff ever checked if our food or beer was good. The only good part of the experience was receiving a check that wasn't ours...so we gladly paid for someone's half pint, sandwichand soup, coming out of there paying about a fourth of what our lunch was. I'll definitely drink their beer...just at a different restaurant where it's on tap. It's a promising place, wonderful atmosphere. They've just gotta hire some new staff.

    My wife and I recently cruised through Astoria and stayed downtown; I feel like we lucked out by being walking distance from Ft. George. The place had a cool vibe, and the bartenders and servers were quite nice to us. We didn't check the upstairs room, but it looked cool. We ate dinner, and it was decent pub food, but it was the beer that was memorable. We're hopheads and we tend to evaluate most breweries on their IPAs. The Vortex was fantastic; just what we like- juicy grapefruit/citrus goodness. In any case, Ft. George was an unexpectedly fun place for us to stumble upon. Not only will we be back when we visit Astoria again, but we'll pick up their bombers if we see them out and about.

  • Brad C.

    Stopped in here while driving up the Oregon coast. The place was pretty empty when I was there so there wasn't a problem for the six of us to get a table. They have a rather large beer selection and you can get a sampler of them all for $12.50 which isn't a bad deal for the amount you get; I think it was 10 beers. All of the beers were pretty solid, but nothing blew me away. Still I didn't have any issues finishing them all off. To go along with all those beers they also have a large food menu too. One of the greatest things they had on the menu was the homemade sausage. Which was excellent. If you're in Astoria it's worth a stop.

    (4)

  • Otis D.

    Wow, definitely dig Ft. George. They make really good beer. (Yes, I'm a beer snob and proud of it.) The Cavatica Stout is one of the best brewpub stouts I've come across in a long while. Nice IPA too. All the beers we tried were good. The food is kind of standard brewpub menu but better than most. They make sausages on site and they were really good. The kids hot dogs were huge and since one of my kids is in a hot dog only phase they were really good. The Hanger steak is also great. They had live music too. So, good beer, good food. Check it out.

  • Bill E.

    Cool place, with a great location just off the main road that cuts through Astoria, Oregon. Some limited outside area, but we went inside to check out the taps and menu. We didn't order food, but were treated to a wheat and amber beer that were really enjoyable. Friendly staff as well. Recommend!

  • A P.

    Its self seating (at least while we were there on a Friday...and the waitress's walked by us 1/2 a dozen times. After 10 or more minutes one shy waitress appraoched us and asked if we had been helped. Both of us got the Sunrise oatmeal ale which was good, served in cute mason jars. We ordered fish and chips which were good!! And fish tacos which were not great. It came on a flour tortilla not corn, too much salsa on it and usually fish tacos has a sauce mixed in the the lettuce/carrot mix so salsa is not needed. Not worth my 10.50$ oh and the shy waitress didn't check on us until we were 20 minutes 's bussed our table and brought our check. Overall we liked the beer not the service. And those of you with kids there is no changing tables in the restrooms.

    We liked this place a lot. It was a lovely day so we sat on the outside deck. So relaxing. The beers were nice, too. We didn't eat, so can't say anything about the food.

  • Janelle N.

    This brewery was not even on our list of must-sees when we set out to visit several breweries/brewpubs in the Pacific NW. Thankfully we decided to stop because this was among my favorites. I really liked the way the owners designed the space- everything seemed thoughtful and intentional. I am kicking myself for not buying a t-shirt. Our server was not extremely engaging which is not the greatest experience when the entire table is excited about experiencing beer and brewpub culture. I loved drinking drunkin pumpkin out of a mini mason jar! I also loved my falafel sandwich was a welcome diversion from the regular pub food I had been eating. I can't say that we truly experienced Astoria in all of its glory, but I can say that they have one great brewpub and I am envious!

  • Carlos G.

    Totally great surprise. We happened to drive by and we were really pleasantly surprised. The beer is GREAT! The food is totally solid and yummy. I had one of their house made sausages and it was really tasty. My partner had the fish and chips and those were really good and order an extra side of the tarter sauce cuz that was yummy!

    (3)

  • Jean S.

    We stopped at Ft. George after reading the favorable reviews. Here's my cliff notes: Beer- had the nut red. Loved the flavor, wish it had more carbonation Food- I had the fish and chips. I thought it could have been the best I've ever had. There were large chunks of albacore tuna perfectly breaded. The homemade tarter was tasty too. My husband had a burger with a green chili on it and that was also a winner. Service- a little slow. The waitress was very nice but got busy so she ended up forgetting to get my husband a beer he asked for. Overall, we liked the atmosphere and decor and would definitely go back.

  • Duncan N.

    This place is great! They have good atmosphere- casual but not sloppy, friendly but not overly so. I have never waited more than a minute for a beer once I sat down, food can be a little slower if they are busy, but hey that is time to drink more beer, right? They make good beers includig one of the few IPAs that I like, and they change their beer lists with the season as I think a proper brewpub should. The food is good, with one caveat being I am not a fan of their tartar sauce, but I am pretty sure it's just me being raised on mayo mixed with relish by my mom. I often have work lunches there and I think the wasabi ginger-ale is a great drink when beer would not be a good idea (pesky work). Sitting at the bar there can be cool too- I have had some great conversations there, You must go there. Get the sausage.

  • Denton E.

    Love this place so much that I stop every time I go to Astoria. Their beers are uniformly excellent - my favorites are the Cavatica Stout and just about all of their seasonal offerings. Also - their Fish and Chips and Tartar Sauce are the best of both that I have ever had - Steak -Like Tuna - Dee-Licious. If you're there on a weekend make sure you visit their tap room next door, and also be sure you use both restrooms in the main building - they are themed around the history of the building and really cool!

    I have been to Fort George Brewery a few times and have loved it but a few days ago I went and was not impressed with the customer service. I walk in and ask the waitress if I could sit outside because I have my dog with me, she says yes and take a seat, I was then completely ignored. Nobody comes out so I go inside ask for a menu but she was to busy talking to coworkers to hear me so I grab a menu and go sit back down, after about 15 or so minutes and nobody checking on us we left. I would have understood if they were busy but they were not.

    Great beer, good food, good service & great place to go with friends. Quick Wit was really refreshing (corriander, orange). The mango beer that my friend got was good too. nice house cut fries. Even a falafel dish was not too bad. The Anaheim burger was amazing even with garden burger patty. my food came out slightly late and compensated me with another round of beer which totally made up for it. Recommend - try the taster tray

  • Julie B.

    I visited on a Friday evening. It was super packed but I can't fault the place for being popular. It seemed like they should have had another bartender. At least the one who was there had beers in our hands while we waited for a table. The IPA was good, my guy's Stout was good too. I just wasn't wowed. The food seemed expensive for what it is. I know that quality ingredients up the price but...at least have a few cheap options. The guy and I shared a big plate of chili fries which were alright. I do appreciate that the cook layered the toppings. Lots of places don't get that concept. The chili was good, the habanero sauce on the side, house made I believe, gave it quite a punch. It seemed to lack something though, probably meat. And yes, I know that that is sorta what vegetarian means. But my taste buds are my taste buds and my opinions are my opinions. There is a shelf with games to keep your children and inner children amused while you wait for your food and drink. The beer list art is pretty sweet, the chalk Peter Iredale impressed me. I'll try this place again at a not so busy time. My mind is open.

  • Andy C.

    Friendly people and tasty beers (and sausages). We came through here last Friday and couldn't have left happier. We tried a sampler of everything on draft and chose our favorite beer to enjoy a pint of (I recommend the Quick Wit). The in-house-made sausages were all excellent, but the easygoing, friendly service staff made us feel like we were appreciated - probably the best reason to return. Definitely a place to visit if you ever find yourself in Oregon.

    We'd seen the signs advertising the Ft George Public House on our way through Astoria, but had a hard time finding it. A few hours later, on foot, at dusk, we almost walked right by on the other side of the street. From the outside, the interior lights were barely visible, despite the tall, beautiful windows. But we were happy to find the place, and that it was withing walking distance of our hotel. How bad could the beer be? Unfortunately, their beers range from pretty-damn-hoppy, to I-must-rip-my-tongue-out hoppy. My taste buds hurt just thinking about it. But we were hungry, so we risked an order of fish & chips. Awful! The fish was dry - my DH said it reminded him of an overcooked chicken breast, while I thought it more like dessicated pork loin. I tried to eat the batter coating, but it had adhered to the fish flesh in a most unpleasant fashion. On the positive side, our waiter was great, and the fries were edible.

    Astoria is for lovers. And Fort George is for beer lovers. So naturally, we have a tradition of spending one rainy Sunday afternoon in Astoria for Valentine's Day every year. We started out with dessert because we're cool like that - beer-a-misu and caramel cheesecake. Plus, February is Stout Month at Fort George, so I was in heaven. I love dark malty beers and they went really well with both desserts. The cheesecake was definitely my favorite, the crust was not your typical Oreo shell - it was chocolately and gooey. For beers, I decided to take on the Badda Boom Stout, which was really good and not overly sweet. Then came the Spank Stout, which starts out pretty tasty but then develops a kick to it from the 30 lbs of peppers added in). At the waiter's recommendation, I also tried the Bourbon Barrel Cavatica Stout; Cavatica is one of their most well known Stouts and this version is conditioned in Maker's Mark barrels. Great suggestion. You can imagine that I became so wonderfully intoxicated that I had to order real food before calling it a night. We ordered the sausage sampler, which came out surprisingly fast (or was I just tipsy?) with four different housemade sausages, flat bread, cheese, and spicy dijon mustard. Another great thing to nosh on while drinking strong beers. Towards the end of our meal, a live band had started playing, so what started out as an intimate afternoon and evening, ended up being more like a party. But hey, I can't have this place all to myself. I was so sad to leave Astoria and Fort George, but I know I'll be back soon.

    This place has by far the best beer in town, and some of the best in the pacific northwest. Food is great, prices are decent. The atmosphere is industrial, which always works for a brewpub. Drink your beer here.

    The ambience looks better than the burger tastes. The service is very slow and the serving portions are small. Just ok.

    We stopped here during my first ever trip to Astoria a couple weeks ago, on the recommendation of a friend whose opinion on beer I trust absolutely. However, my honey tried two different beers and was unimpressed by one, and didn't even finish the other. Now, if you had ever met Stephen, you would know that was a monumental moment - never would you think to see him leave undrunk beer behind on a table. He said it tasted like they took a sub-par IPA and added extra water to it. We didn't eat, but from looking around, I was glad we had lunch earlier, it wasn't impressive looking. The worst part though; service was abysmal. I could hardly get an order placed. And when we finally decided that he wasn't going to drink his beer, and I wasn't going to drink the terrible wine that I was stuck with since they took the cider off tap, but not off the menu board, I absolutely couldn't get him to bring our tab. After about 10 -15, we dropped a few bills on the table and left. And even that didn't get his attention, as we walked right past him.

    Yummy beer & good pub grub. Strangely, the wasabi ginger ale was my favorite. Super cool decor. The industrial/artistic atmosphere manages to preserve the architectural history of this fishing & timber community. Great business model!

    We arrive in Astoria after 8pm and are staving after a 3 plus hour drive. The Hotel (Cannery Pier) tells us that not much is open past 9pm. So it goes in the winter on the North Pacific Coast. But hold on, I ask "what about a good beer" and we get steered, literally - the hotel has a old buick that they bus you around in! - in the direction of GBC just out of downtown Astoria. Open until 11... that is late in these parts Mr.! When we walked in around 9pm, we were it. I joked with the guy behind the bar and we bellied up to the bar. That is kind of our style... who needs a booth? Makes it hard to shoot the shit and it is a longer walk for the beer! He rolled out a big slab of wood and proceeded to load it w/ sample glasses of all the beer they had on tap. Nice touch and it gave my lady a chance to really figure out which one on the list would suit her best. Some people have talked about the staff not being the best here. Our first experience was a very good one. I am not sure if it is luck, attitude or a little "you get what you put in". Overall the staff was excellent to us and very attentive. Of course we were the only ones here for about an hour! All the beers were great quality. I leaned towards the darker drink - Porter was my choice and it was clean with a very nice finish. Miss M chose a really nice Belgian called Divinity... and heaven it was. Two nice cold ones in Mason Jars! Just like at home! We had some food. Tacos w/ local hot sauce was the bomb! Albacore Fish and Chips were also a solid dish. By the time we were eating, there was a rush of what seemed like regulars. A crazy guy who sat down, pounded one while ranting politics and then busted out the door on his nightly tour. There was a table in the back that continued to be populated one or two at a time until it was full around 10:30. We called the buick to pick us up and rolled back to the room w/ a big 2 quart Jar of Divinity. That is right, no growler here, just a really big mason jar! A hot bath, big fire and half a jug of brew... now it is time to crash! God, I love beer to go! This place has a nice feel. The bar stools are by a local regular and they are like works of art for your ass! Comfortable and each one is unique. Nothing fancy here and I kind of really like that. Quality food and brew in a understated comfortable place. Very refreshing! BTW - get a shot or glass of the Wasabi Ginger Ale! Great stuff!

    A great find while we were in Astoria this summer. Ordered the sampler and were pleasantly surprised. Not only were the beers diverse and tasty, but the waiter/bartender that brought them out explained each and every one of them...far exceeded our expectations. They also serve food, though we didn't order any.

  • Cheryl H.

    Great place! Glad we stopped here. We ordered sausage and the salmon cake special, both of which were incredibly delicious. The beer was fantastic too, including the winter seasonal beer which was available to purchase in bottles. The booths are quite large and the tables very wide. You could probably squeeze eight people in there! For just two people, the booth felt humongous, but it'd be good for groups.

    We were in Astoria for a wedding on a Sunday/Monday, and we ended up eating here twice. The location is great-right in the old downtown area, back from the water in an old Ford dealership. First visit I tried the quick wit, my husband had the IPA. Both were pretty darn good. My husband enjoyed his burger, and I had the crab cake special. The crab cakes were pretty good, but nothing spectacular. And a little pricey at $14. The service was friendly, the atmosphere very comfortable. I love the big booths by the front windows. Second visit we went for a late lunch. A cruise ship had come in, so we were kind of sharing the town with about 500 "cruisers". Ft George was therefore pretty hoppin'. We decided to share some different things. We had the smoked salmon spread, the sausage sampler, a cup of soup, and a salad. The salmon spread was pretty tasty, but a little rich. It was mild and creamy-tasted like it had a lot of cream cheese and/or butter, and it was a little too thick. The soup was good-chunky tomato bacon blue cheese. The salad, pretty average, and very fresh. The sausage was delicious. Apparently they make it there-all varieties were great. They came with spicy mustard, slices of pita, and some sliced cheese. I think that was definately the best of our sampler. Only thing I don't really understand is why they serve everything with pita bread! Why not some delicious baguette from next door? Anyway, all in all this place is solid-great atmosphere, decent food, great beer.

    Casual, fun atmosphere. Definitely a local favorite. When the weather is warm and sunny, sitting outside is a treat. The beer is worth it alone. I also really like their cider. Ordered a few things to eat here, oyster shooters (yum), and a flat bread sandwich that was very tasty as well.

    Environment/Service: 5 Stars Food: 4 Stars Booze: 5 Stars Summary: DO IT. This is a tranditional stop when we're in the area with great atmosphere, great microbrews and good food. Environment/Service: The atmosphere is amazing, an old converted warehouse/industrial building with high ceilings, massive windows and a big patio outside (far enough from the street so you're not sucking exhaust). They serve their beers in mason jars (a great touch) and have a relaxed and friendly attitude. Service is slower when they hit peak hours, but that's typical for a small, local establishment that's not stacking help. Food: The food is great, with a varied menu (burritos, tuna melts, steak, veggie chili, albacore fish and chips) and consistently good quality. The Rockfish tacos are superb, albacore tuna melt is great, fish and chips are great (kids loved em) and the vegetarian options abound. Booze: Heavenly. In a Pacific Northwest that prides itself on small microwbreweries at the cutting edge, these folks are really doing it well. Try a beer sampler (with some consistent favorites as well as some rotating taps), I come back again and again to the Vortex IPA, a strongly hoppy (high IBU), slightly sweet IPA with a punch (7.5% ABV). We get growlers of their beers to go everytime we're in the area and I drive away sad that we don't live closer.

  • Angela M.

    We split the beer sampler, which included a tasting of every beer on the menu. I wasn't so much a fan of the Sunrise Oatmeal Pale Ale or Vortex IPA, but was a fan of the opportunity to try it without buying a mug. The Cavatica Stout, however, was amazing and I wish I DID buy a mug! As for the food? Let me start off by stating my dad has the pickiest taste in beef, as he grew up on a farm in the midwest. Grain-fed vs grass-fed? What? No contest for him. Despite knowing that beef on the west coast is NOT the same as beef in the midwest, he still opted for the burger. Imagine my shock when he wouldn't stop talking about how moist and tasty the burger was for two days. I ordered the fish and chips. Coming from MN, just about anywhere near a coast is probably going to serve up better fish and chips... but the fish here was not just fish, but huge CHUNKS of fish in a batter that wasn't too light, and wasn't too heavy, but instead complemented the texture of the fish just right.

    Have you ever had an experience where your food was delicious, you loved the concept of the restaurant, but the workers have to go and screw it all up by providing shoddy service? Yes, my friends (in best John McCain voice), this is what happened to me here. I had rock fish tacos; my girlfriend had the tuna melt. The tacos were delicious, and I had some local hot sauce-you can find it at chefspank.com (think habenero that's sweet at first and then burns you like a muther) to go with it. Her tuna melt was different, but cool-they gave her a tuna steak! (although they cooked it too long. Yes, it's true what Jen K says, it's great sipping beer (or gulping after that hot sauce!) out of a mason jar....it's great that they brew their own beer. It's even great that they use organic and locally sourced ingredients. But then we have to talk about the service (dum dum dummmmmmmmm) After finishing my first beer (strawberry pomegranite!), I wanted another, so I waited. Then, I waited a little more. After getting past the point of ridiculous, I went up to the bar and ordered another beer (there were less than 20 patrons in the bar). The waitress never came to check on us, and at the conclusion of our meal, we were left with a receipt that hadn't been tabulated. Again, we waited and waited (you get the picture) and finally, again, I had to go up to the counter and ask "er, can you add this up for me?" Because I went up to the bar for the beer, that wasn't on the tab (and lord knows I wasn't going to tell them!) Moral of the story: it's a damn shame when the workers have to go and f up what could have been a solid 4 star experience-sorry, Fort George, you suck!

    I love this place. We have always gotten lucky and not had to wait for a seat. The beer is great, and we both thought our hamburger was perfect. I wasn't as crazy about the fries, but the horseradish coleslaw made up for them. One of the best places in Astoria to eat. Also, the buns for burger are baked next door at Blue Scorcher Bakery, my other fav in Astoria

    We had the sausage sampler and halibut and chips. The sausages were house made and quite tasty, but one was undercooked. When we told the bartender about it she assured us it was cooked properly- but she was wrong. The fries were excellent and the halibut was good. The halibut was cut too thin and was quite greasy as a result.

  • Sue Y.

    I really liked their falafel sandwich....be sure to get an extra side of tatziki on the side. Fries were a little soggy, but looked like they were home-made. Bill had an excellent chicken panini sandwich---all in all very tasty. Loved their Vortex IPA. We'll be back.

  • Nosniv X.

    Very friendly service with knowledgeable and helpful staff. These guys aren't beer snobs, but they know their stuff. They have a good selection of experimental beers, some good, a Belgium pepper, some miss a wasabi/ginger that tasted like 7up. Food was good but who cares, you're there for the beer.

    (4)

  • A R.

    The beer? Excellent. The food... Meh. The service, Meh Meh. I had the chicken curry and the chicken was dry and drowning in the curry. We sat outside, a choice they offered and we took, but it was pretty clear when we walked out there that the patio wasn't quite open. We waited forever for service and the sun went down and it got cold. So we asked if we could move inside and waited forever for a table to open up so that could happen. Why offer seating outside if there are no heat lamps and few tables? I might go back for the beer, but this place needs to work on their front of house logistics.

  • Angeline B.

    We came here for drinks though they serve a good amount of food. Rich had the Vortex IPA and I had apple juice, so the bartender brought me hard cider but didn't tell me what it was. That was nice but I didn't like it because it was carbonated. That's just me. He also brought a stout beer that wasn't even on tap and Rich said it was truly good. Great service, I say. Good atmosphere too.

    As another reviewer said, "not too pubby and not too fancy". I'd like to add that they have excellent food and impressive beer! My boyfriend and I aren't locals, but we end up coming through Astoria often throughout the year. This time we decided to go ahead and stop at Ft. George, being big fans of both pubs and microbrews. The atmosphere inside was comfortable, hip and down-to-earth. What's on tap is displayed on chalkboards above the bar, but tables are also provided with a "beer book". I ordered the Cavatica Stout, he the Quick Wit. Let me say this about the Cavatica; if they bottled it, I'd be stocking up! It was excellent. Full, malty and dark but not bitter. I was very impressed! Boyfriend loved the Quick Wit as well. Ft. George apparently makes its own sausages, and I couldn't pass that up! I ordered that day's special, the Drunkin Punkin Chanterelle. (Drunkin Punkin is apparently one of their seasonal brews.) In a word, awesome! Really delicious and a good size for lunch. Came with a mustard sauce that I found terrible, but it was fine without it. As we finished eating, one of the brewers dropped by our table and invited us to a tour of the brewery next door. We of course accepted, and were delighted to find it was okay to bring our beer along! We got a lovely and concise tour of the brewery with a description of how Ft. George makes its great beer. At the end, we were treated with a free sample of their upcoming seasonal holiday beer. Very nice! We will be dropping back in at Ft. George at the next opportunity we get for sure.

  • Matt P.

    Most of the beers here are pretty good. Vortex, Bad JuJu, Divinity, etc. Some not so good....the Quick Wit comes to mind... The food fills you up... go with a sausage or the homemade chicken tenders. The service is slow, but I think it works with the overall atmosphere...as in this is a bar in Astoria....

    We spent a week at Ft Stevens State Park and needed local brews for our growler bottles. Had lunch at Fort George and were happy to learn we could have our dog (but only three small tables on the sidewalk). The bartender was also our server and very friendly. The food was good, but nothing great. The reason for the visit was the beer though, so we tried a few. Honestly, after hearing about all the great micro brews in Oregon (we were on a trip from Colorado), we were disaapointed. Nothing really jumped out as a great beer. There are some good brews here, and some unique ones (an oatmeal ale?), but nothing that made us want to come back instead of trying other places. Don't get me wrong, the beer is good, just great.

    Came in for one of the Coast Guard's schools for aviation folk, and this was the place that was recommended by pretty much everyone on the base. I was visiting from San Diego, and since we pretty much have about one brewery every square mile, I can be tough to please when you're pitching me locally brewed pub and grub. But this place did not disappoint!! We ate here on about 4 different occasions, and each meal was very good. I tried a variety of the different beers made in house, and I liked each one for its uniqueness... I would definitely recommend the sausage platter and the seared oysters as far as the food went, and the burger I has was tasty too. Fort George has a good atmosphere, and it reminded me alot of San Diego style public houses, so I felt right at home. Next time I come back to Astoria this will be my first stop.

    Good beer, as there should be. salad was fine, but uninteresting. Fry's in the fish and chips were really good the first time, then came back the next day and they were over cooked (should have sent them back). Albacore tuna in the fish and chips was over cooked and I didn't like the heavy doughy batter. next time I'd have the beer and try the fry's again.

    WHAT!!! I found my mecca! Just like any 80's born child, I went to Astoria to check out the goonies house. After kicking around town in the rain, we decided to get some food and warm up, and we stumbled upon a huge gold mine. We shared the beer sampler, and I was so impressed by both the quality of the beer as well as the explanations of each and every selection that was served. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They love their jobs, and it shows! The beer was beyond words. I love microbrews and the only disappointment I had was that I could not take any home with me. The food was much better than your normal pub fare. Nothing gourmet, but very good quality. My favorite was the sausage selection. 4 different handmade sausages. Woo Hoo! I can't wait to make it back up here again. Sign me up!

    On a friend's recommendation, we went to Fort George Brewery on a recent excursion to Astoria. We ordered the tasting tray of beers (all were good; standouts included the unfiltered, Belgian-style Quick Wit and the house Imperial IPA, which was outstandingly robust, caramelly with a very nice little edge of woody hoppiness to finish) and I got a plate of oysters which rocked my mouth. My boyfriend had a bowl of the chili, which was spicy but also delicious. Two thumbs up from us.

    The only restaurant that closes late in Astoria. Most of the restaurants here close at around 8 pm or they make up their own hours. So, far everything I have tried is pretty good. Hamburgers, Gyro, Sausages, Burrito... etc are all pretty tasty. I'm not a beer drinker but my fiance happens to like beer and actually like it.

    I'll definitely come back for the drinks and the fries, and I suggest everyone else should too. This place is great. Coming here, you almost can't help but smile from the overflowing local cheer. Good bathrooms, a smoking hot waitress, ok service, really cool live music. FANTASTIC beer, which I can't wait for them to start selling by the bottle and a pretty good rotating selection of craft beer. Really perfect french fries. But... The food: My mom was entirely unimpressed by her burger - the meat seemed like it came from Costco's frozen food section. My girlfriend really didn't like her rockfish taco, which also still had some bones in it. I got the eggplant pita, which was pretty good and light - the eggplant was flavored interestingly, but I wished the eggplant cubes were juicy instead of dry. I liked it enough, but wished I had gotten the falafel instead.

    Fantastic place. Definitely a favorite hangout - I'm usually there 3 nights a week! Great beer ranging from pale wheat (Quick Wit) to dark and dirty stouts (Bourbon Barrel), with at least six more house brews on tap at all times. Always a nice selection of guest beers and a good assortment of wines. The food is fantastic, with some of the best desserts in town. The waitstaff is always friendly and the owners are usually there nightly, joking with the regulars. Definitely my number one recommendation for people looking for a great casual atmosphere with fantastic beer.

  • David R.

    One criteria I have for a great brewery is a good taster tray. Verdict on the Fort George Brewery - GREAT! There were nine beers on the tray and a taste of their Wasabi Ginger Ale. All of the beers were excellant and the ginger ale was a nice surprise if you want a non-alcoholic drink. My wife's favorite usually is the coffee stout. But she thought the Coffee Girl Stout had too much coffee. W hat we both settled on as our favorite was the Nut Red Ale, which we ordered t o have with the Anaheim Burger which was amazing. If you have the chance, get their cole slaw - great taste with a kick. Service was great and atomosphere was typical "warehouse brewery" which I love.

    (5)

  • Brian J.

    I loved the atmosphere, noisy and confusing as it is. The crab cakes were burned beyond recognition and smeared with hot cream sauce which destroyed any hint of crab. The cook has not changed the fryer oil in over a month and the fries where an unnatural brown gooey color and soggy. My friend liked the pan seared oysters, and the beer was very good. For that I'll give another star but I was really disappointed in not finding a decent crab cake in this part of Oregon.

    The BF and I had dinner here a couple of nights ago. The beer and sausages were great; the rest of the food, not so much. He had fish and chips made with tuna, which he says did not work well at all, and I had a burrito that had a very odd combo of flavors. We liked the atmosphere, other patrons were friendly, service was good, and as I said, the beer and sausages were great. Just don't order anything else and you'll be ok.

    Definitely go here for the beer. The IPA was great!! The food was decent but a little overpriced for what it was. I had the garlic sausage and it lacked in flavor.

    We don't like to waste "vacation food", and this was certainly a waste. I had the fish taco and was unsure if it was actually fish! I kept wondering if it was pork. My husband had the fishcakes and they were dry and had no taste at all. Being the gluttons for punishment, we ordered the carrot cake. It, too, was dry and tasteless, even the frosting!

    Along our cross-country voyage, we stopped for a Friday night in Astoria, Oregon (home of the Goonies!!!!!!!!). We wandered the lively town for a bit and came across the Fort George Brewing Company. Situated more on the outskirts of the town center in something resembling more of a warehouse than a microbrew restaurant, the place isn't a big attention getter. This was an instant draw, and once we poked our heads inside we knew this would be the place to drink... err, eat. I could immediately sense a very local feel. Everyone seemed to know each other and the vibe was extremely friendly. Unfortunately, live music is hosted only on Sunday nights, so we missed out. Despite the absence of a local band, the atmosphere was perfect for a local brewpub. Huge chalkboards hovered over the bar, proudly proclaiming the current stash of available craft beers and incorporating some beautifully intricate artwork that only looked cooler as the beer flowed. Speaking of beer, the Vortex Pale Ale was absolutely, slam-your-empty-glass-down-in-amazement freaking fantastic. As a self-proclaimed hop head, I was more than satisfied. And speaking of glasses, the beer was served in glass mason jars - a nice touch. We ordered a black bean burrito and an order of fish tacos. The food was served promptly and was quite good. The portions were large and messy, just how I like them. The service was fast and friendly (and all received A+'s for quality tattoos). I moved onto the stout for dessert and was equally pleased with its taste. It is a good thing I limited myself at two, however, because I would have needed a wheelbarrow to get me out of the place after consuming any more of these high-octane brews. In short - good people, great food, awesome environment and beers worth the trip alone. Highly recommended.

    I love this place. My girlfriend (who had recently removed beer to sidekick and placed wine as head honcho) and I got beer samplers (9 varieties). Every beer, and I mean EVERY BEER, on the sampler was great. The wit was refreshing and had hints of lavender, the red was silly good, the porter was a good friend. Wait, there's more, here comes the kicker...... No attitude. Yep, that's right. I felt that the staff appreciated my business and was nice to us. The food was also spot on. We got the sausage sampler (a real sausage fest if you know what I mean) which consisted of 4 different homemade sausages. We came back 5 hours later after going to Wet Dog Brewery (Hell's version of a brew pub) and I got the Hanger steak, which was juicy and nicely charred. My girlfriend got the Albacore Tuna fish and chips, which was not greasy or overly breaded with a ton of big fish chunks. I can't say enough good things about Fort George, I highly encourage anyone who heads to Astoria to stop by and get some pints and food. The girlfriend whom I previously mentioned who was no longer enjoying beer is so happy about her rediscovery of the joys of beer. Enjoy!!!

    This place makes their own sausage daily: Hot & Spicy Italian, Sweet Italian, French Garlic and Sausage Du Jour. We stopped in for an appetizer. Oh my! The sausage was wonderful. We tried to buy the fresh made, uncooked, but they do not sell it. Too bad, we were looking to take some home with us. They also have a Soup of the Day. On the day we visited it was Chili Cheese Beer. Yummy! It was fresh made and quite tasty. This place is a must visit when in Astoria.

    This is beer heaven pure & simple. First the brew; if you're a hop head, your quest for the perfect IPA is over. Vortex IPA (97 IBU 7.4% alc) will blow your mind with the perfect combination of an intense hop bouquet and massive hop bite, yet it's surprisingly well balanced for an Imperial/Double IPA. If you prefer stouts, their 8.8% Cavatica Stout will put Guiness out of business, if word gets out. The creative brewmaster also has an intriguing Spank Stout which is made from a derivitive of the locally concocted Chefspank Hotsauce. This one is certainly worth exploring and I was surprised how addictive it beacame after just one glass. Lighter beers are plentiful as well and they even brew a non-alcoholic Wasabi Ginger Ale! Food & atmosphere: The Lewis & Clark head in itself is worth the visit .....ain't kidding, makes you want to go camping, like tomorrow. The shiny bright fermenters and mash tun are in clear sight, and for being 3 blocks off he river there's still a peek-a-boo view of the Columbia and river traffic. The home made sausage (yes, made in-house) and Anaheim Pepper Burger w/pepperjack cheese will have you sobbing like a baby (in the fetal position, no less). Okay maybe it's because my wife Shelley and I have been searching for the zenith of brew-pub-grub establishments in the NW for the last 10 years and with the discovery of Fort George, we feel like we found the Mecca. True or True? Service: Friendly & prompt with no attitude other than a pleasant one. Yes, this appears to be a biased review, but there's a reason for it.....Incredible world-class ales, warm-cozy environs, tent festivals and music outside (check their calander) great food & excellent service. These guys attract the crowd you just want to hang with. If that's biased it's because they earned it.

    Visited here on our annual anniversary trip to the Oregon Coast. Came here for lunch and we were very happy all the way around. Very inviting entrance and loved the atmosphere, open and airy and really liked the feel of the old building. Our server was very prompt to take care of us and even apologize for our wait, even though we assured her that we really didn't wait for her attention. That alone was very REFRESHING. My DH and I both ordered the Vortex, which is served in a mason jar glass, which I found charming. It was even better, because I found the beer to be wonderful and I'm mostly a wine only drinker. My lunch was the albacore fish and chips and DH had th fish tacos, we split a side salad. The food was excellent and more than we could finish. We were happy to see that they featured breads from next door at the bakery, The Blue Scorcher, although our selections didn't have their breads, they sounded wonderful, will try next time. The service was consistent all the way through the meal. We enjoyed the atmosphere and plan to make another stop here the next time we come this way. Also bought a growler of the Vortex to take home. A great brewery that isn't cookie cutter, has it's own style and great beer!

    I would move to Astoria to be closer to this place. After spending several days along the North coast of Oregon, a friend and I decided to spend our last day in Astoria to check out the Sunday market and the Columbia River Maritime Museum (both of which are excellent), and our visit to the Fort George Brewery ended up being the pinnacle of the whole trip! It was so refreshing - and badly needed - to find a joint that serves affordable, wholesome food and some of the best microbrews in the Northwest. We lucked out, as they were serving the most excellent "CoHoperative IPA", a seasonal brew made from green organic hops. Salmon spread with flatbread and "Sausage du Jour" all made in-house, the best fries this side of Belgium, the decor, the friendly service and the BEER! made this our best dining experience on the whole damn coast! side note: the Fort George is worth a detour for any Lewis & Clark enthusiasts who need to use the head.

    Big fan! I plan on coming here next time I am in town. The Oatmeal beer is awesome. Had the Carlton farms pork burrito. It's huge! Also the homemade sausage stew with cabbage, yum! Portions are big so keep that in mind. Service, atmosphere, location are all top notch. Price is right too! Someone please tell McMenamins that this is how you do pub food!

    When the server says "Uh, I think it's vegan", I should have learned my lesson by now. The meal I ordered came with fries instead of the tortilla chips, and a yogurt sauce, which obviously wasn't vegan. Upon return, it had obviously been reheated and scraped off. Real classy. I had the 12 beer samplre too, which seems like a huge amount, but was manageable. The story behind the beer by the server was very colorful, and worth listening too, but most of the beer was mediocre - the two dark ones were good, as was the novel pine tip one, but I could pass on the rest. There's several more breweries in town; best try them instead.

    Visited Fort George for late lunch early dinner on our trip to Oregon. The service was ok and the space is amazing. However, I was a little irritated that they screwed up my partners vegan meal. When we brought it to their attention, they brought it back and it was obvious they scraped off the part that made it not vegan. Not cool when it was their screwup. We tried the beer sampler and I particularly loved the Truffle Shuffle. They didn't pack quite the punch we thought they might.

    Ordered beer, water, chowder and fish & chips. Fish came out, had to ask for drinks and chowder Chowder was thin and not creamy and an odd flavor which made it super spicy...not like anything either if is had ever had in the way of a clam chowder Came for fish and chips and disappointed. Large chunks of fish with batter that was not crispy but rather oil soaked batter. Like someone didn't know how to actually use a fryer. Beer ordered was a pale amber that was weak with nothing special to it...nothing to write him about

  • David D.

    Good food and a fantastically organized and well spread beer menu. Really enjoyed the fish, but the chips were so so. Service on the wait staff is a 6 hole on a par 3 however; so if one wants good food and great beer, but is ok with less than decent service check out Fort George Brewery and public House. On the flip side you'll save money on not tipping

    I went here for dinner with a friend. We were on a mini-vacay and had seen ads for this place. The service and ambiance were both really great. I loved the decor, tables, menus - everything. The waitress, server and happy bearded man who seated us were all real and friendly. I ordered a steak which was just average and a bit on the oily side, a little strange for steak. My companion ordered a burger and he said it was all right. I'd go here again because I really liked the vibe, enjoyed how we were treated and would like to give them another try in the food department. I don't drink, so the beer situation doesn't appeal to me, but I saw that they had little shots of different beers for people who seemed to really enjoy that. The only parking available is on the street, but you don't have to pay. Food: 3 Ambiance: 4 Service: 4 Parking: 3

    Being from the east coast, I was surprised when I went to cut into my fish (& chips) with a fork, that it did not work. I was forced to cut it open like a steak and actually chew. Now, I love fish and chips, it is one of those things that keeps me from being vegetarian, so you can imagine my surprise when I eventually found out I was eating tuna. It was tremendously satisfying and I want to be doing it right now. But lose the mason jars, beer should be enjoyed from a suitable glass, not a jar I keep pickles in. Bored of that trend.

    This is the second time I have reviewed Ft. George - but not the 2nd time I have been here. This time, we had a late lunch on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. The restaurant - and all of Astoria - were jammed. We waited about 20 minutes. The young man handling the waiting list could not have done a more effective job managing the waiting list. When we were seated, we were greeted promptly by our server. Wish we had her name. What a star! She handled her area by the bar with speed and grace. And in spite of the crowd, she made us feel like we were her only table! Repeating my prior choice, I ordered Anaheim burger with fries. Add in Assimilator Dopplebock seasonal and I was a very happy camper. My wife chose the Chili Verde burrito, which is huge. Of course, she wouldn't eat it all, so I got a small sample for myself. Promise - small! Anyway, it was all perfect and fun. Great atmosphere; cheerful staff; prompt, delicious, hot food. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants. Go!

    I could be harder on Fort George, but I take into account that it was Labor Day weekend and they were beyond busy. Considering the hour wait and mobs of people inside and out, it all turned out to be a pretty nice meal. I knew before I sat down what I wanted: a lot of beer and fried fish. This was because I don't eat nearly as much fish as I'd like to in my everyday life and I'd be crazy not to order fish seeing as we were in a town on the mouth of the Columbia River - one of the greatest fisheries in the world. The beer was because I'd spent a day with family and shoulder to shoulder with tourists cramming in the sites, and some refreshing microbrews were more than in order. I ordered the beer sampler and was ever so happy to receive 12 very generous tastings of their house-made brews, four of which were seasonal. While I can't say they all appealed to me, they all were full of flavor and the sampler was a fantastic deal overall. On the other hand, the fish was a disappointment, especially since the server had recommended it. Once past the crispy exterior, each piece was chewy and bland and required salt. We came here because it was the only option on a busy day. Nevertheless, I'd come back anytime for a beer if I loved in the area!

    Fort George offers a broad and dynamic range of micro-brewed beers. Enthusiasts will recognize their flagships brews from their local bars, such as the Vortex IPA. The staff are very knowledgable and have great energy. The downstairs pub is furnished with wood and stainless steel. Outdoor seating is lovely on a sunny day. Visited on Sunday and ordered the Cod Fish & Chips with a 13-beer sampler tray. They were busy, which meant my meal took topside of 20 minutes but the sampler tray kept me busy. Aside from the Working Girl Porter (which tasted like twice-heated stale drip coffee), I was impressed with their selection. Fans of dark beer should try the Truffle Shuffle Stout; its sweeter than you'd expect at the start but balanced and flavorful. The fish & chips were outstanding. These were fine cuts of cod with a wealth of flavor concealed by savory fried batter. The chips (fries) were flavorful but not-too-salty. The dipping sauce paired well with both. It's not my first time at Fort George Pub, and it won't be my last.

    Really wanted to try this place:( but they had a wait to be seated sign. We waited in the line to give our name since it was a full house. The guy taking the waiting list walked away several times where people continually stopped him and he would add them to the list in front of all the people who were waiting. Several people where so mad they just started taking the first tables that opened up without being called, which he allowed so the list never got shorter. We ended up having to leave. Really hated to have this experience:(

  • Ben S.

    This is one of the best breweries along the Oregon Coast. The beers are great, not just their IPAs. The brewery is quite large and you can get a tour, plus there are several bars to order drinks from. I enjoy the hole-in-the wall room, but there is also an outdoor area with picnic tables that can be packed as well on a sunny day, even having kids activities on occasion! There is also the fill restaurant with a gorgeous view and pizza oven, with great pizza options or you can get cheese or pep by the slice. Will definitely come back!

  • Rachel R.

    Downstairs portion was awesome - servers were SO nice! Beer was tasty! We went up the spiral staircase to see what the deal was up there. Had a drink, ordered some jo-jo's, which were bland and not even completely cooked. The server we had up there not like any of them downstairs - he was so rude. The people next to us ordered a pizza and the server came out and said, "our chef put basil on your pizza, would you mind having it that way so we don't have to re-make it?" What? Who does that? You made a mistake - they didn't order it that way - make it again. We'll totally come back, but probably not upstairs - the downstairs vibe was just way better.

  • Sean N.

    Disappointed. Heard great things and came away very underwhelmed. The beer was good, but these days a good microbrewery in Oregon is a dime a dozen. The service was sub par. Inattentive or just disinterested, I couldn't tell. The only place it stood out was the food. We had the sausage sample which MUST be tried and then later a wood fired pizza upstairs. The views from upstairs was great. This could easily be a 5 star brewery/pub if the service reflected the price, which by the way, was not cheap. I think I would pay about the same at a brew pub in downtown Portland and I know the cost to operate cannot be the same.

    Fort George Brewing is like going to Bend and visiting GoodLife or Everybody's in Stevenson, WA, its a destination with amazing craft brews, attentive wait staff (Brian with an "i") and all fresh food made on site. My salad was a whole head of lettuce with tons of veggies and it was the small served on a dinner plate. The sausages are phenomenal, made and stuffed onsite. And the beer, I am not even a beer drinker, but I loved the Chez Pilsner. Loved the dining room in wood and loved the outside deck over-looking the bay on warm days in the sun. Astoria is an amazing place in itself!

    The woman working the bar was nice although it wasn't busy and I sat for awhile before being acknowledge.. BUT when I saw fellow work mates at a table and went to join them, the waitress was not nice at all....Short blonde haired waitress was rude at the table and then again when I returned to the bar to finish my order. We are in town filming in Astoria and I find it awful that we would be treated this way.She was rude, and forgot my beer while I was waiting for my take out and then when I enquired if my other beer was ready to take out because my food was packed and ready I was told "I'm working on it".I had already filed out my check or I would have taken the tip back.. I will never come to this place again, and will advise my friends not to as well.

    We stopped here on a road trip through Astoria - it is very much a Brewery and service is a little slow when busy. Large portions and pretty heavy, albeit good food. We enjoyed a calzone, soup and a "baked potato" appetizer (large bowl of potato slices - with cheese and bacon optional). It looks like their menu and some of the beers rotate seasonally. We had a coffee flavored beer and the seasonal cider (pear at the time), both had great flavor. Overall good food option, especially if you enjoy pub-style food- you will not go hungry after their entrees. If you are a light eater, consider sharing!

    The rating would have been higher had it not been for our waiter. This was our first visit to the brewery. The albacore fish and chips were really good. The portion is big enough to split between two people. I'd like to shake your hand if you finish an entire order along with a couple pints of beer. The beer was good as usual. I'd had several of their beers before but ordered a small sampler to try some styles I hadn't tried yet. The downfall was our waiter. My wife and I agreed that he appeared to be bothered having to answer our questions. When we were ordering our drinks my wife looked back at the beer list to make sure there wasn't anything else she wanted to try. When she didn't make a decision within seconds he said "Well I'll go put this order in" and started to walk away. We watched the other waiters smiling and talking with the other customers while we were left wondering where our waiter was at half of the time. Instead of walking away thinking we would visit again it left us walking to the car talking about where we would eat next time.

    The ambience is great and has a little history to go with it; service is fantastic and prompt. It give it the 3 stars for it. The food is average and we tried the specials for the day which were manageable. Though the food did seem not too fresh, the drinks make up for it. Overall a good place to hangout and might go again, but would not be one I recommend.

  • Slawek C.

    While in Astoria I had a hard choice. Either Thai or Burger and the answer is obvious. Before I came to the Fort George I went or another establishment but I wasn't fond of the insides and choose not to eat there. SERVICE; As soon as I sat down I was greeted by the bartender which I think was/is a manager. He gave me a daily specials and recommended beers. He gave me 2 little glasses with samples which made my choice easier. Through out the whole stay he was very communicative and made my stay and Fort Gregory experience even better. FOOD/DRINKS; Obviously I had a burger but I choose to switch fries for chilli soup which was a good choice. Burger came as I wanted medium/rare and was very good. Soup was a nail to my hungry stomach and made me full, very full. I had 2 different types of beer which were a local brewed and good batches. OVERALL; If you want a good service and food do not hesitate to choose this place. They serve not just burgers but other foods too so I am sure you will find something to your likings or desire. Thanks to the bartender/manager who served me!

    I've been looking forward to stopping here since I enjoy their beers, and was not disappointed. I found the waitstaff pleasant and helpful. And patient with the newbies that couldn't decide what to order. I sat at the upstairs room, great view of the river from here. Try their Lovell taproom next door. Small batch brews and cask beers. Oh yeah!

  • Sarah C.

    The food is certainly not worth the price paid. We have had lunch here a couple times, and have been disappointed. We won't be back to eat again. The rock fish tacos: The tortillas were still chilled from the fridge, and the edges were dried out and stale. The portion of fish was very small, and far too salty. It came with no sides, and so didn't really justify the $12 price. The clam chowder: The potatoes were not fully cooked. The hamburger: We ordered a medium burger, but it came very well done, and dry. The lettuce was far past its prime, wilted with dark edges. The tomato was bland. The bun was burnt. We would have sent it back, but the waitress didn't come back until she brought the bill. The atmosphere and energy of the place is nice, and the beers are quite good. But overall the execution of the meals does not live up to the claims on the menu. Go for the beer, but leave before you get too hungry.

    Fort George is one of my favorite breweries, in Oregon, and believe me, I've tried most of them. Don't expect a fancy meal, this is pub food. I say pub food like its a dirty word- but Fort George has some really good options and a reasonable price. Again, their brews make this place a must try!

    I have to say I was prepared for an unhappy experience based on recent reviews. Thankfully our lunch was perfect. We only waited about 5 minutes before being seated on the comfortable patio. The sever approached us right away saying she would be with us shortly...and she was. We sampled a few beers before deciding on the Vortex IPA and the Nut Red Ale. I thoroughly enjoyed the Vortex. Our lunch came promptly and everyone enjoyed their meal: fish tacos, burrito, cod sandwich and sausage. There are games to play while you wait but our meal came quickly. Really enjoyed our lunch and would recommend to anyone who wants good food in a nice relaxed environment.

    Really good beer, great service, good food. We loved our server and she was very attentive, and not the obnoxious kind of attentive, plus a great sense of humor. Basically loved all their beer. Did the flight which seemed a little expensive especially that they compare it to 2.5 beers but don't actually tell you that its cost equates to almost 4. Tuna sandwich was really good minus that it comes with a pound of bread that make up the bun. I ended up making it more of an open faced sandwich with half the bun. Fish tacos were awesome as well without the need to 86 anything. Overall good experience and will definitely return when we make it back to Astoria.

    I had several recomendations for this establishment in the past several days. All waxed lyrical in praise. How could one NOT give it a go? The outcome? Simply fabulous. Aaron took good care of us. The beer sampler was a treat...my favorites the house Cavitica and Imperial stouts as well as the North VIII. The oysters and house 'fries were dangerously delicious. In a way I am glad I do not live near this fine establishment......

    I went to Fort George at the recommendation of my dad. I also heard their catchy radio commercials. I ordered food to go and a beer to drink while I waited. My "server" was a little distracted with other work because I came in pretty late, but he still was pretty attentive, all things considered. I ordered the bleu cheese, bacon, and chicken burger, can't remember the exact name. Super delicious, as well as the fries. The beer was the seasonal Spruce Budd, recommended to me because I'm not a fan of hops and this beer has none! And man oh man it was good. I definitely wanted more! I'll be back again next time I'm in Astoria.

    Tried the pizza in the upstairs space (up the spiral staircase to the top floor) for the first time yesterday. The space itself is amazing (5 stars)! The views are awesome, quite a bit better than the lower floor. There are various table options: big round ones for large groups, bar stools with hightop tables, and traditional dining tables. Lots of space between, so you don't have to hear your neighbors' conversations (5 stars) . The servers were prompt, and happy to answer questions. As others have said repeatedly, the beer is fantastic (5 stars). Now for the bad news. The pizza comes nowhere near the quality of everything else, based on my experience. I ordered the Marguerita. The crust was appropriately crisp while maintaining some softness (4 stars). But it was slathered in red sauce, so much that it smothered everything else (1 star), and there was hardly any mozzarella on it at all (1 star). OK, quality mozzarella is expensive, but still, I felt like a $13 dollar 10" (not very big) pizza should at least be covered with enough cheese to cover the sauce. I think the pricing reflects the cost of the wood fired oven. But for this reviewer, my wood fired "cheesey bread" did not provide the value I was hoping for. Next time, I'll have a sausage downstairs. Warning: the spiral staircase is not for the unsure-footed so don't bring your elderly grandfather.

    Whenever I head to a place that I've never been or to a place I haven't really explored much I always seek out where the local beer is. I have been doing this a long time now. It is still one of my favorite things about traveling. Luckily Sue enjoys a good beer now and again so that makes things much easier. It is with this in mind that Sue and I came over to Fort George for the first time on our weekend away in Astoria. We initially stopped in at the brewery, but since we were only getting beers, it was suggested that we step over to the Lovell Brewery and tap room which was just across the parking lot and deck from Fort George. Upon walking in we saw a Foosball table, the production floor and a fairly large group of people. We walked into the actual bar area and within minutes we were greeted and asked what we wanted. We were told we could sample anything we wanted and we ended up doing just that with 3 beers. I ended up getting the Quick Wit as it was a hot day out and I was looking for something easy and refreshing to drink. The Wit accomplished both. I wish we could have stepped outside with our beers, but there didn't seem to be an outside area for this part of the brewery. For that you would need to go back to the Fort George building and use their deck. It was such a beautiful day out that it was too bad we were stuck inside this building. The doors were wide open so we were able to catch a bit of the breeze coming from the outside. A great addition to Astoria and proof that good beer comes from anywhere and everywhere.

    This place is amazing! It was our first time in Astoria and the servers were very kind and very patient explaining us how it works when you order the beer sampler. They were interacting with all the customers and really seemed to enjoy the job! They were not just standing there behind the counter but walking around spending some time with customers! Amazing customer service! Great environment! Nice music! I am definitely coming back!

    If I could give zero stars I would. Went there in a group of 4. Ordered beers - fine. There is no set server either. We were waited on by at least 4 different people. We were told about the lunch special.. Korean short ribs with sticky rice and macaroni salad. 1 person ordered that, 2 others ordered fish and chips and I ordered their Anaheim pepper burger with bacon and a Caesar salad. First they bring out the short ribs with coleslaw instead of Mac salad. The sever said sorry we ran out .. Ok understandable. Disappointing but things happen. My burger follows with a salad I did NOT order. Nothing close to a Caesar. I say something and they agree to correct it. No fish and chips come out. When we say something, they try to bring out ONE order of kids fish and chips. We sent it back and said we would wait for the correct fish and chips. My Caesar salad comes out, and I notice my burger doesn't have bacon on it either. so I say something. They proceed to bring me out one small slice of bacon for my burger. I am a server/bartender and at this point needed to say something. I had to go find the person I ordered with on the floor bc he never came back around to check on us and I explained the situation. He apologized and tried to correct things - offered to buy the first round of beers. Needless to say we will NEVER be back.

    Fluffy Bunny hopped in here after a bad experience at a neighboring place. Fort George is OK. The staff is very friendly and professional. But Fluffy is awed that almost all food choices are richly debilitating. After one good beer and the Mac-n-cheese, Fluffy is headed to the burrow. Far better than the local average, but there is much room for improvement. I hop out with a full belly and a full wallet and hoped for less of each. Hop on (ooh,,) Fluffy Bunny

    At first it was very confusing because they have two different levels with two different menus and a separate location as well that is their tasting room. They also were not able to serve tasting trays, but I appreciate them telling us why, it was because the beer was not pouring right. They were very generous in giving me two small testers anyways to help me choose. Our waiter was great, and my fish tacos were excellent. It's a great spot!

    WARNING: IF YOU WANT MORE SALSA YOU HAVE TO PAY MORE. I'm not cheap when it comes to food, but if an establishment is going to give a disproportionate amount of chips to salsa then give salsa for FREE! I mean, come on! And apparently if you get the chips and salsa to go it is cheaper? Huh? Other than those ridiculous discoveries, I do like their food. First they have two sections:lower and upper. Depending on which section you choose you get two different menus. Upstairs is mostly for the pizza lovers. Lower is everything else. I'm Paraphrasing here. We chose lower. I got the special which was salmon linguini and my friend got the pork burrito. I tried the burrito and it was deeelicious. Good flavor and heat. Warning! It was spicy. So if you think Tabasco or jalapeños are hot, don't get this. The linguini was kind of dry and so was the salmon. Flavor was great for salmon though. They added this cheese that kind of tasted like Bleu cheese but I don't think it was. Whatever it was I thought It was unnecessary. Tasted better without it. We had a flight of beers. We tried the first three lightest and the last beer was something like Pavel or P - something (three words). Peppercorn flavor. To me....yuck. I like Quickwit. This is Hefeweizan mix. My friend likes Divinity. The latter has a berry finish. Parking is on the street....at least for us. :) More on service later. Happy eating.

    The beer was amazing! I'm not a big beer person as I like my drinks to be smooth. I tried the sampler and even the stout was smooth! The wait was long but the food was worth it and the toys entertained the kiddos. Wish this was closer to home!

    With all the great reviews, I am sorry we didn't get to try this place. Not being familiar with it, we saw an entrance on the side of the building, with a lit Neon sign. Assumed it must be THE entrance-- So we entered! Inside was a long ramp going up (place used to be a garage???). I walk with a cane and have severe arthritis... so it was a struggle to get up the ramp, but we did. Only to find we were on the 2nd floor of the restaurant. A waiter approached and said "you have to go downstairs". We explained that walking is difficult for me, couldn't we just get a table while we were up there?". He insisted we had to go back down, either via a steep spiral staircase, or by descending that long ramp, walking around the corner and re-entering from another door, and that he could not seat us. So down we went-- which is physically a real struggle for me. After gimping around to the other entrance and being on the first floor we enter only to spot a sign saying "Seat Yourself". But all tables, even the outdoor seating, were full. A waitperson came by and said "Go ahead and go upstairs to find a table!". This royally ticked me off. We were really steamed at this, so just left.

    There is a lot to like about Fort George, other than the beer. Location is great, even more so now that they've expanded and take up much of the block, with another tasting room. Their menu, which changes frequently and incorporates local ingredients, is every bit as good as their brews. Oregon has so many breweries it would be easy to lose count. But if I were to judge a place by total package, meaning beer, food, location, atmosphere, and liveliness, Fort George might be tops in Oregon. And that is saying a lot. But I mean it. Never had a bad experience here. Hopefully they will consider a brew pub in Portland or Eugene or anywhere closer, because Astoria is a haul where ever you are. The drive in summer is awesome, whether hopping over from the valley or driving up the coast. But winter...well let's just hope they work on another location.

    We came here while on the Oregon beer trail and it was great. Good drinks, good food. The seating is limited so plan on waiting a minute. If you are an oyster fan, definitely try an oyster shooter. Good merchandise as well. We'll be back on our next trip to the coast.

    This place really does deserve all 5 stars. My husband and I have been here numerous times and have never been disappointed. In my opinion, if you love fish and chips try theirs. DELICIOUS. and I don't normally drink dark beer but the Cavatica is the best thing on tap there. The waitstaff is always awesome and yeah they are a couple bucks more than some places, but it's totally worth it. Check it out if you haven't already.

  • Cori W.

    Their beer is amazing, duh. We've only eaten here once and it was ok. The 3 different menus for the 3 'locations' is a tab bit annoying as our group of 4 found ourselves wanting something from each menu. The bartender in the taproom only portion was alone and working his butt off yet still took time to explain each beer to everyone ordering a taster tray. Well done sir!

    Really cool setting for this Brewery which definitely adds to the atmosphere, and this review. The Beer it self is pretty good as well. We were lucky enough to get to take the brewery tour which was informative, and pretty cool. Overall this is a cool place to stop, and check out as the building itself is a place to see on it's own...and the ale isn't to bad either.

  • Jason H.

    It seemed like a typical Friday night. Very busy but they were accommodating to my family including 3 kids under 5. While the food took a little longer than I expected, the fact that the waitress apologized about it being Friday of spring break and that she was quick to bring out more beer made up for it.

  • Ed L.

    Excellent beer. Excellent pizza. Great service. Good view upstairs. What more can I say. Jack and Tracy run a great brewery. Top notch all around. Also, if you're considering Rogue...don't. Find Ft George instead. Better food. Better beer by far and wayyyyy better service.

  • Sean D.

    I Make a point of detouring here whenever heading to the coast. Fort George is as much of a destination as the weekend beach house. For the best beer experience hit it when the tap room is open: Mon/Tues: closed Wed-Friday: opens at 4:30 Weekends at 1:30 No matter what you'll be psyched. Drink too much good beer and walk it off on the boardwalk.

    Great beer! Great pizza! Incredible atmosphere! A must. Truly, if you're visiting, this is a must stop! The only problem is you can't see the sunset, so go early. Absolutely incredible.

    Their albacore fish and chips is to die for. They are unfailingly delicious, as is their house tartar sauce.

    Delicious pepperoni pizza made from high quality ingredients, despite being a little greasy. Biggest size is 16" which can feed 4 if you're not starving. The hard pear cider was fantastic and drinking from a small mason jar is fun, too. Very clean, well run, and classy place to bring you're family when in Astoria... much like being in Portland's pearl district.

    I absolutely love the food and atmosphere at Fort George Brewery + Public House! I went with a group of friends this weekend and sat out on the patio. The weather was great and it was really nice to soak up the sun. A friend and I split the cheeseburger and fish tacos. Both were excellent! I also love their selection of beer. Great variety and they were happy to let us taste several different ones before selecting our favorites. My only complaint was the service. It wasn't super crowded so I don't know why it was so bad. The servers were nice, but we had three different people helping us and they got our orders mixed up, as well as our receipt. Clearly a rough day for them for some reason. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to my next trip out to Astoria!

    This has to be one of my all time favorite breweries! How fun it was to check out all the different bars within Fort George Brewery! first there is the bar as you go in the main door, climb the spiral staircase and find another bar with a great view of the columbia river. If this is not what you were looking for head out to the patio on a nice or across the courtyard to the bar inside which is great. We had great food- the macaroni and cheese was so good and the calzone was made for a king. The beer was amazing the the people serving knew so much about the beer. I will go back as soon as I am in the area again.

    First and foremost, the oyster shooters were a-ma-zing. My boyfriend and I started with one each, but after the first we had to order a second. For the brews, I stuck with the vortez IPA. It was good, a nice hoppy taste and not overwhelming. The boyfriend went with The optimist, another IPA it had a stronger finish though. We also had dinner, him being a burger man, got the Anaheim pepper burger with fries. He says it was decent. I got the fish tacos. I thoroughly enjoyed mine and was glad I chose them. All in all, it was a great place ro stop and get some Oregon brew.

    Probably my favorite place to eat and drink in Astoria! The beers are delicious. I especially like their Quick Wit with a slice of orange in, and their Nut Red Ale. We spent time in the old, main pub where we had lunch at the bar. They make their own sausage (!) and it was mighty tasty. I get the feeling that the folks who run this place just love great beer and food and are sharing their craft with everyone. We also had beers in the new upstairs area. It has nice touches like tables made from reclaimed bowling alley lanes, a couple of huge chalkboards with rotating art, wine barrel stave furniture and a huge wood-fired oven. Can't wait to go back to Astoria and try more seasonal beers, and the pizza!

  • Karen M.

    Crowded on a Monday night! That just tells you how popular this place is amongst tourists and locals alike. We just wanted a beer, so we ended up sitting in the Taproom, which was a terrific choice. Way less crowded, staffed by very friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic bartenders who can tell you all you want to know about the beers. Seating is arranged right inside the brewery, and work was going on all around us. We recommend ordering the beer sampler, which is customized to your particular tastes. Can't tell you about the food; we did not order any.

    We decided to eat lunch (more like 3pm) here, after we drove into town and discovered the Bowpicker was closed on Mondays. We saw that this place had good reviews, so we gave it a try. We chose our table and sat down. About 5 minutes after sitting down, our server came by and asked us what we'd like to drink. We all gave him soda orders and he said he'd be right back with them. We decided what we wanted to order and put our menus away, so our server would know we were ready. We watched him for the next 15+ minutes, walk past our table 7 times and we never got our drinks so we got up and left. We didn't want to wait around and see how long it would take to get our food, if we already waited 20 minutes at the table, and hadn't received our drinks yet. Maybe service is better if you walk up to the bar and get a beer, which plenty of people did. It wasn't even prime lunch or dinner time.

    Great beer and friendly staff! Sat at the bar and the bartenders were awesome.. The tarantula behind the bar does freak you out at first... Just a warning! Overall if this was a review just for the beer I would give a 5 but the food was just average so I bump it down to a 4. The atmosphere was great though. Definitely a great place for a drink and a meal with friends.

  • Flora C.

    The food there is only a okay. -Coleslaw $3.75 is tasteless and awful -Hamburger OK -Hummus with pita bread OK -Sausages... Nothing special and it is not tasty... however the special sauce with the sausage (mustard + mint taste +...) is nassssty! -The $12 beer sample is fun to try. -I had a slice of chocolate cheesecake $6.50. It is good but small portion. Overall safe approach: you should just stick with the beer and some finger snacks only. -Environment: Fun and Friendly My beer - Vortex. It is a complicated beer with lots of different flavors in my mouth. Interesting.

  • Daniel H.

    Nut Red Ale: Good Atmosphere: Great Time: Noon Didn't have food, but their beer is good. I had the Nut Red Ale, my buddy had the Quick Wit and really liked it. I end up in Long Beach, Washington quite a bit, and almost always find myself stopping in Astoria for lunch or dinner. For some reason, I generally stop at the Wet Dog Cafe--it's familiar, good food, decent beer, and a great view. But the other day, my buddy introduced me to Fort George Brewing. The building is great and the beer was good. I love the bases of the bar stools, too. The logo is cut out of sheet metal. Don't know why I liked that so much, but it was a cool touch. Definitely going back to check out the food next time I'm in Astoria.

  • Geoffrey C.

    Two coworkers of mine; who had been to the Fort George Brewery, recommended it to me. They had such good things to say about the place, that I think I may have gotten my hopes for this place too high. I would not recommend going here for a good meal, because mine was not. I ordered the turkey sandwich and was not impressed when I received three slices of what looked like canned turkey on toasted bread. As for the beer though, the Working Girl Porter was pretty tasty but by no means the best porter I've every had. The atmosphere is kind of neat but the one true highlight to this brewery is their growlers, which are very cool. Too bad they the beer inside wasn't better.

  • Krissy H.

    This place was awesome. We got the beer sampler, it was about 15 2 1/2 oz glasses so you can try every beer they carry. It was expensive though, 16 bucks! I got the sausage sampler too. The one sausage tasted like an old hamburger that was left out from last nights bbq, the others were pretty good though. They come with pita and cheese and a house mustard. I got drunk pretty quick off those samples! Split them with a friend. They will go through and tell you about each, but I wish they had a paper with the names on it, most places have a paper with circles on it so you can try each beer at your leisure and pick and choose, but the bartender just had a long list of stuff to say and wanted us to chug our drinks as she blurted them out, so we knew what each one was, it was a bit hard to keep up with. They were super rude about IDing us, I guess we look young, we are 30 years old but the lady was investigating us before we even took a seat, "And I will need to see your Ids now" with an attitude, calm down lady, we are at a bar, sitting at the bar instead of a table, we have come prepared. I gave it 4 stars because the food and drinks were good, and the place was roomy, and awesome inside and so that is all that mattered. We couldn't do the tour because it was closed on Tuesdays, which sucks! But oh well. We also got the Broccoli soup which was awesome.

    We had a great experience during our first trip to Fort George a few years back that we excitedly came back on our recent trip. The beers are excellent. We tried a bunch of the beers off of their regular menu (including a really fantastic spruce tip beer) and then also got a bottle to share of one of their BA Stouts (Also really great). Food here is awesome - you can get everything from snacks to cheese plates to fish and meat - and everything is just stellar. We ate inside, and I was surprised to see how packed the place was for being lunchtime on a random Thursday. Unfortunately the upstairs wasn't open yet, but I'd like to try going upstairs next time we go - and there definitely will be a next time!

  • Shannon B.

    Fort George did not disappoint! The beer, the food, the atmosphere...I really enjoyed this place! So there are two separate menus. Upstairs they serve wood fired pizza, calzones, macaroni and salads! Downstairs had burgers, fish and chips, sausages, etc... We had lunch upstairs and grubbed on the pizza, macaroni and a salad while trying different beers. Later that night we came back for dinner downstairs. We had a bacon cheese burger, broccoli cheddar soup and fish and chips. Of course with more great beer. Personally we both enjoyed the upstairs food more. The pizza was really good. The burger was also great. The fish and chips were good but nothing special! Ultimately you can't go wrong at Fort George. They offer a variety of options, excellent beer and it's a great place to kick back and enjoy!

    I've been going to Fort George before they were so popular. I think the first time was 2008. We went for a bite and some beer last night, our last night in Astoria. I ordered some food and found out they were out of what I wanted so I settled for a bland and flavorless veggie burger. Only needed a little so I ate it anyways. Tried a bite of the coleslaw and it was also flavorless. Only tasted hot mustard. It needed to be seasoned badly. Hubby enjoyed his steak however and we both enjoyed our beer choices once we settled on beers they had and not run out of. We sat outside which was nice. The staff was nice but the place seemed short staffed as the two we saw were running with an almost full patio and dining area inside. I have always liked the beer at Fort George, but the food is just not quiet there for me.

  • Phil L.

    Beer for less than $5.00? Heck yes please! Meandered into town after driving for the better part of half the day and I was starving. Food here is super affordable and I went with a sausage and fries. For an Italian sausage, I was hoping it would have been on the more spicy side but it was just what I needed to have next to my beer. Unpretentious, busy location, and clearly a favorite with the locals.

  • Stephanie S.

    Great stop in Astoria. They have good beers and yummy food. I had the cream ale which was a seasonal special. It was good and just slightly hoppy. For food we just got appetizers. We got the jalapeño poppers and the sausage samplers. The poppers were really good and very spicy! It came with a strawberry/raspberry sauce which was really tasty. The sausage sampler was tasty and came with 4 different types of sausages and a really tasty house-made mustard. Overall, the brewery is really good and I would definitely stop here again if I were in the area.

    We stopped in the tap room to do a beer tasting. This tap room is awesome. You can see all of the brewery equipment which is set up in a cavernous room. Tucked into one side is a small bar with a seating area. They have lists with their beers where you can check off which beers you want to try. A flight of 8 is the best value, so we went with that. After you give the bartender your list with your selections, he takes it and sets up your flight in giant wooden boards. All the beers I tried were pretty good, but my favorites were a roasted pumpkin beer and a dark stout that had been steeped with whiskey. This brewery is a good time. The tasting area also has a selection of old school games and books. We had way too much fun with a "Where's Waldo" game while we waited for our beers.

  • Daryl G.

    I started going here when they were less than a year old, when there was only a few people in the bar on any given night. My first sip of VORTEX IPA had me hooked. It is HANDS DOWN one of the BEST, HOPPIEST IPAs on the PLANET! Beware, though, there's some "voodoo" in it, the mere 7.8% ABV belies the wicked buzz that will sneak up and grab you! My favorite beer on the planet, however, is the Oatmeal Pale Ale (OPA). Fort George has never been about the food. Fort George is about the BEER. The food is an afterthought. This place is in the top tier of breweries in the northwest, where every one of their 12-15 options is WORLD CLASS. (In this league are few players: Pfreim, Boneyard, Double Mountain, etc.) Do yourself a favor and sign up for a Brewer's Dinner. You'll be amazed at how well they can pair food with the beer, the Indian and IPA dinner being a solid choice. I could gush for days about this place, they're my friends, I've lived with some of the brewers (not the owners), and I'd like to think I contributed to some of their salaries back in the early days. But these guys need no help from me now, I only have to drive two hours west of Missoula, Montana to find their beer in Idaho! Someone reviewed: "Their beer is overly hopped." IMPOSSIBLE!!! Go drink a Coors Light then! My rating system: 1 Ugk! 2 Meh 3 Yes! 4 Hells yeah! 5 Legendary

  • Maria B.

    The restaurant has two separate concepts that split into two levels, thus two separate restaurants with two distinct menus, etc. We chose the upper level because my son wanted pizza. I had the vegetarian and gluten free chili and it was delicious with the perfect amount of heat! I had a killer Cobb salad. My daughter ordered the Mac n cheese and it was insane! You can taste the creamy ricotta and sharp Asiago flavors! And the crispy crust of Parmesan atop. Highly recommend it! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and their awesome brews were refreshing. The service, starting from the host was excellent! If you're in the area visiting or passing through, this place is great!

    We were staying in Astoria from out of town and Fort George was in walking distance of our hotel so we decided to stop by after getting in late from a wedding. My time here wasn't long, I didn't eat a lot, and I only had one beer but the experience on all sides was excellent. We were greeted promptly after sitting down by a really friendly guy who took our drink orders and later our food order. We consistently had almost every staff member coming by to check on us, and not in an annoying way. Just a quick "You good? Good." but every exchange seemed to be super positive I instantly fell in love with the energy here. For me, the Quick Wit seemed fitting ( ;] ) and we shared a plate of fries with the Tillamook cheese on them. The cheese fries were cheese fries, but it's made with cheese that doesn't come out of a tin can, so I could appreciate that. Overall, they were good. The Quick Wit might just be one of my favorite beers now. I took one sip and sighed, "Ooooh that's tasty." Prices were pretty damn good, too. If my boyfriend was a beer drinker, I probably would have come back the following night to check out the upstairs, try more food and beers and stay a bit longer...But such is compromise, right? I had never heard of Fort George before and didn't know they were as big as they are but I'm happy to see they sell in some locations in my area! I'll definitely be seeking out some bottles. My only regret was not buying a sweet t-shirt I saw at the Pub that they don't seem sell online. Guess I'll need to go back?! Also, they have a beer called the truffle shuffle. It may be seasonal but it still scores them some major points with this nerd.

    (5)

  • Alberta H.

    We visited during Goonies weekend and really loved that they had a truffle shuffle stout! So much fun when local businesses participate in the festivities! Not to mention the fact that it was really good stout! The bacon blue soup was really good but the clam chowder was to die for! I loved the little bit of kick it had and it was loaded with clams. Not to thick and not to thin, this is the goldilocks of clam chowder. So dang good! We also had the sausage sampler, my favorite was the french garlic. The fish tacos were also great. Chris liked the fried oysters and chips and he really liked the balance of the fried oysters with fresh vegetables. Service was quick and really friendly. We loved sitting out on the porch and soaking up some sunshine.

    We discovered this gem by doing a Yelp search on our way home from the beach. We noticed the place was very busy and decided it would be a good choice for lunch. Service: Due to the place being packed, the cook time on our food was a little long. I gave this place 5 stars though because our server continuously checked on us, knocked money off our bill and I heard him checking with the cooks multiple times - to me this is what service is all about! We all got sausage which will also increase cook time over a sandwich. Food: FABULOUS! As I said, we all got sausage samplers or a sausage plate. The sausage is all pork which is a great alternative to a chicken dish for those that don't eat beef. The dipping sauce that came with the sausage was super yummy - just enough spice without being overwhelming. Many of the below reviews were poor. It could have been an off day for this place? Definitely worth the stop and try!

    When in Astoria... Well, when here this is the place to stop by. The beer is superb and brewed on site. Recently they have expanded and after my private tour I will be able to truly say that I am excited for their future. Lunch and dinner, plus beer are superb. My new Astoria home.

    More like a 3.5 but they accepted our take out order easily (if you wanted pizza to-go, you'd have to go up the spiral staircase). We ordered rockfish tacos (slaw and aioli on the side), 2 oyster shooters, a caesar salad (dressing on side), bowl of chowder, and lemon cheesecake for take out dinner. While waiting for our order, we had a red beer which was pretty good. Service was attentive and accommodating. We probably waited about 15-20mins for the order which was totally reasonable. The food was packaged well and when we opened everything up, we felt pretty good about the contents. The rockfish tacos were kind of skimpy on the fish portion, hence the -half star. The oyster shooter was fresh and zippy, I'm normally not a fan of slurping raw oysters but this was nice. The chowder was tasty but didn't come with any crackers(?), the caesar was very filling. We enjoyed the lemon cheesecake, slightly more lemony than your typical cheesecake but it was a hearty slice for the price. All in all, this is a nice place to dine when you're in town. Glad we had a chance to try it out. Thanks!

    Good fries and burger like food. Weak salads for the price. Spinach salad had canned pears while pears were in season and garden salad was served with a big peace of slimed out cabbage. They don't pay attention to the salads even though they cost $8 to $13 each.

  • Kristina K.

    Horrendous - speaks for the service, food, and beer prices. We interacted with servers at least 10 times. Each time, we were forgiving and even joked with her about the missing items. In the first interaction, she forgot to place the complete beer order (3-beers total), and she admitted to it. Later she forgot to place the fish and chips order along. When the entire food order arrived without the fish and chips, she admitted she forgot. While we waited for the fish and chips for the second time, we ordered additional strawberry jam for the jalapeno poppers. The jam eventually showed; unfortunately it arrived only on our bill but not on our table. Another time around, the server stopped and asked if we wanted to order more beer. We selected 3-beers. She nodded and replied matter-a-factly that she did not have a pen to write down our order. As a server in my past life, a server's main job is to take the order. A server may not be friendly or helpful or deliver the food/drink, but their one and only job is to take down the food/drink order, get it into the system. Anything on top taking the order and getting it into the system, is extra. Our server failed at her most basic utility. The food is okay. At the prices Fort George is hawking them for, they better be damn good. A large caesar salad was an expensive joke at $12.00. A large salad should be sharable and substantial, if the ingredients are nothing "special." At Fort George, the salad was none of these things. There were no bells and whistles to the salad-no baked parm pieces or shaved egg or white anchovies or flecks of gold. We asked the runner if he was certain this was a large salad portion. He returned from the kitchen and confirmed the same. The Jalapeno poppers are the winner. They're filled with freaking hot cheese that will give your mouth 3rd degree burns and ground meat or sausage. They're served along a small side of strawberry preserve. The kids bean and cheese burrito portion will feed 2-3 small children. The kids burrito portion is what their large caesar salad should aspire to be. Fort George is known for their beers. They charge a hefty penny for them from the source. If you like their beer or like beer, you should stick with the beers and avoid their food. Some breweries have a bevy of delicious items to eat while you drink, but Fort George's kitchen and service staff seem like they need to hone that craft a little better. Bads:Service, beer prices, caesar salad Goods: Jalapeno poppers, strawberry jam, kids bean and cheese burrito portion

    What a horrific tourist t(c)rap... Ridiculously priced, overly hopped beers... Abysmal service. Seriously, it took over 45 minutes for good to arrive. It was all extremely greasy. The lightest lager on their menu was still like a lightly hopped IPA. I didn't want a bitter beer with my fish. I had to eventually ask the bartender for water since we never were attended to...ever. Do not patronize. Unfortunately, with all their signs and the huge number of reviews, most won't see this.

    This place is great. Had the albacore fish and chips and special of the day jambalaya. Both dishes were delicious, full of flavor, creative, and freeeessshh. Of course, they had a lot of beer her. Went with the Quick Wit, it light and tasty and refreshing.

    This place is so much fun! The food is delicious, beer is amazing, and staff is kick @$$! I had the Smoked Turkey Sandwich with the organic french fries (omg awesome!), my dad had Sausage Sampler (which is four types of sausage including their special which was cheddar/jalapeno), and my mom had the Clam Chowder (which was also amazing). If you're not familiar with the beers they serve, the staff is very knowledgeable about their flavors. Usually they'll ask what you usually drink and then offer you whatever is similar or you can get a Taster Tray (price varies) of a few samples of their beers. Everything was very enjoyable and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're ever staying or going through Astoria I definitely recommend stopping by here. You can check out their website with the full menu, prices, and descriptions. (o:

    My hubby and I are not drinkers, we're foodies. This place has fare to satisfy both kinds of people. I don't eat grain, cheese, or sugar. They have great options for me. The ambiance is cool and the staff are super friendly. This historic building and the easy-going staff make this a place we will return to every time we're in town. Tips: if it's cool outside, don't sit by the windows. If you need to have a serious conversation or you're with a quiet talker, sit near the back (it's quieter). Try the sausages, salads, or tri-tip. Fries are pretty epic, too.

    While visiting Astoria, Oregon, we hit this place, and loved it. It's hard not to love brewers who love beer as much as these folks obviously do. When we first arrived (perhaps a little before 5-6pm?) the outside seating was pretty full. But, surprisingly, they have large, communal tables, so we were able to be seated at the end, and the folks we sat with were quite nice. They actually left us alone for the most part, and we had a great time. I think, especially if you're not going to be in this part of Oregon for a sustained period, that the way to go when drinking is to order the sampler. Here (and in most places we visited in Oregon), this means a sampling of their COMPLETE (!) beer menu. It was worth it. I learned a lot about what I liked, didn't like, and even what differing, subtle types of beers there are out there. Our waiter was excellent, and was quite interested in what our choices were. We ended up with a sausage sampler, and it was great as an appetizer. It was SO great, that I got a sausage for dinner (that sausage was HUGE), extra sauerkraut. Mmmm. It soaked up the beer. We got a free courtesy shuttle back to the Cannery Pier Hotel, because, you know -- don't be a dick -- don't drink and drive. And yes, I know, I know - the sausage was huge -- TWSS.

    This is one of my favorite breweries. Their Vortex IPA is one of my top beers and to accompany their great beer is great food! The upstairs has a different menu than the downstairs but both are very good! I always try to make a trip here if I'm passing through Astoria.

    Great food great service great vibe and atmosphere, and the beer man the beer! I highly suggest the Vortex IPA

    In a word, NO. I'll start with the good. The chicken bacon club was excellent and the tartar sauce that comes with the F&C is awesome, made in house and it's not that disgustingly over sweet with pickle relish crap you get at most places. One of the side options is chips and salsa an the chips are average but the salsa is definitely above average And now the bad, the fish and chips is crap. The fish had no flavor, tried salting the hell out of it which did nothing. And I was scooping the fish out of the breading because it was totally inedible. Left in the fryer way too long and was overly greasy. Same story with fries, they are crap. As for the wait, we were told 20 minutes for a table and were seated in about 15 so far so good. After that however it took another 1 hour 15 to get drinks, order, get food and pay bill. And I was able to shave time off of that by taking the bill up to the bar to expedite payment, otherwise I think it might have been a while. It's a hipster place with a lot of beer choices. Some body does care about the food and menu, but the execution doesn't always follow. I pretty sure the service was slow because the kitchen can't handle busy Saturday nights. Also not all menu items are available in all dining rooms. So if you handicapped and want pizza, look elsewhere. But in a nutshell, serving crap F&C on the coast is a deal breaker for me.

  • Devin M.

    This place is badass!!! The wi-fi network password is: beerisgood Also, the pizza is amazing. Not too greasy, and it definitely is legit. But I think that if I had to choose a place to have pizza, I think that Uncle D's in Battle Ground, WA is the one.

  • Lisa E.

    Loved the beer. Loved that they had outdoor seating and you could bring your dog. Pizza was really good. Went back a second night and got the clam chowder and fish and chips and it was just average, nothing special. We ordered take out and the second night they told us to pick it up in 30 minutes, got there and they hadn't put the order in so had to wait almost an extra hour for our food. :(

    I was in Astoria today and stopped here for dinner in the restaurant upstairs before my return to Portland after my noting that my first two restaurants with vegan options had already closed for the day. I had the wood fired balsamic vegetable plate and the vegetarian chili (minus the cheese). The wood fired vegetables were absolutely delicious and I could've eaten a couple plates of them! The vegetarian chili was just a hint spicy, very flavorful, and chock full of beans. I would love to see a few more vegan options on the menu, but they are making a fine start. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the lackluster service. Our original server was a bit brusque and just disappeared after delivering our food and never returned to check on us. I had to summon a different server to order something additional and a third person to bring the check. But it's nice to know that I can get a satisfying vegan meal in Astoria!

  • Jeff G.

    Have gone back multiple times. Upstairs just has pizza and it's really good. Beer is always awesome. After going to the different areas of the brewery I decided that I don't mind different food options, as I stated in my previous review. And the tasting room in the actual brewery is a really cool spot to have some outstanding beers.

  • Justyne S.

    They were super busy but it was worth the wait. We ate at the bar in the pub upstairs and ordered the sweety pepper poppers with chèvre cheese and a sausage calzone which has house-made hot sausage...all to die for!! Lots of fun watching them make all the food. We also had the 13 beer sampler and tried all their brews. We're going home with a growler! Excellent service (lady had super short blonde hair, cool floral half sleeve - she rocks!!) and the food was fantastic! Great views of the Columbia from the second floor. Overall FANTASTIC experience.

    We were headed home from the coast after a fun vacation, and we (and the kids) required some food for a late lunch. I used Yelp and did a search, and this location (4 stars and $$) seemed like a good bet. Service was kinda sketchy from the start. A young lady wearing a bow (birthday?) came up the the table and said she would be right with us. We didn't see her again till she stopped by the table to tell us she was clocking out. Between those events, we had four wait people assist us with our meal. Now for the food...starting with the (only) highlight. My wife got clam chowder and honestly at the end of the meal I was having food regret that I didn't order it. For her entree, she got a black bean and rice burrito. They weren't lying with that description. There was only unseasoned black beans, white rice...that was all. No cilantro, no sauce, no flavor of any kind. 100% blandsville. I got the "Hot and Spicy" Italian Sausage. For some reason it only came with peppers and onions OR sourkraut. This made no sence to me, so I splurged the extra .50 to get both. The sausage was dry and neither Hot or spicy. I wanted a switch, so I ordered cole slaw (more regret) instead of french fries. They were neither vinegar nor mayo. Basically lettuce salad. More blah... Obviously...a great consensus likes this place, but today our visit and meal was far below par.

  • T H.

    Went here tonight. What an unusual place. Noisy, no, but it did have lots music playing, but not irritating. Music from the 50s, jazz, 70s, the Jackson 5, etc. A fun variety. We both had fish & chips and chowder. There were 4 huge pieces & a ton of fries. I opted for chowder instead of fries. Fries and chowder were good. Soup had perfect texture however, not many clams. It had a nice kick off heat though. I topped it off with a brewed root beer. Great meal! I'd definitely go back.

    Food was awful, and the beer just wasn't our style. We went for dinner, and of course, to sample beers. First the beer - had a flight of all of Fort George's offerings. I know that my taste in beers (being in my late 50's) is not what "kids" in their 20's and 30's like (pure bitterness without regard for complexity of flavors). So, I wasn't surprised that the beers to me were just meh. As I suspected, they were all hopped on the bitter side (even the lager and other beers that aren't supposed to be bitterly hopped). The waitress was very nice, enthusiastic, and informative, and went on at great length about each beer and the subtlety of flavors they designed into them. My tongue just didn't taste it. They all tasted similar, on the weak side, not that different from each other (astonishing with a collection of a dozen samples!), and all hopped for bitterness. Maybe that's the thing among younger drinkers, weak watery bitter beers, but it's not my thing. I think brewers like Boneyard, Gigantic, Double Mountain, Laurelwood, and Ex Novo show that you can make absolutely delicious IPAs and other hopped beers with rich and complex flavors far beyond just "bitter". I'll chalk this one up to generational differences. The food was a different story. I think the best food pairing with beer is of course pizza, so naturally we had one. I'm sorry to say, it was one of the worst pizzas we've ever had in our lives (by our admittedly high standards of being from New York). The crust was like dried out white bread, and the sauce was like over-cooked ketchup. We rarely leave any pizza behind, we somehow find room to shovel in every slice of even mediocre pieces, but this time more than half was left to be recycled. Can't comment on the rest of the food, but if you like pizza, look elsewhere.

    Sausage fest!! No seriously, the sausage was amazing. Homemade with some tasty stout beer. We had the sausage pizza and a huge salad. Kids had truffle Mac n cheese, delicious. I thought the salad had too much frisee leaves. Kind of hard to chew. Had about 6 different beers, all amazing. Not sure about drinking out of mason jars, not my fav. Server easily switched it up. Beer taste better in a nice glass. Service was great. Love the look of it upstairs. One of my kids ordered fish n chips from downstairs. The fish was over cooked, dry. I think it was tuna, an odd choice for fish n chips.

  • Alan S.

    We stopped in for a pint of brew after a day trip to the coast. A beer just sounded right. Service was quick and the place wasn't too full on a Sunday afternoon in mid September. Nice view from the upper level. We had two beers. Mine was the Next Adventure Black IPA which was rich and roasts. My partner had the 3-Way IPA and it was thirst quenching with more that just a hi t of citrus (grapefruit?). Another time we'll stay for food but for this review is all about their beer.

  • Daisy C.

    The beer here is awesome. They brew a great variety and the prices are reasonable. I had a stout and it is one of the best I've tried so far. I also had their sausage and it was delicious. Afterward, we went upstairs and had the beer sampler (a taste of all the beers they have at the time) and it was really enjoyable. Both waitresses were super nice and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

    If Fort George had beers alone, they'd get 5 stars in a heart beat. Their beers are excellent, creative, delicious, wonderful. The Java the Hop makes my heart sing Disney show tunes. But the food is terrible. And maybe it was just the day we ordered food (because trust me, we only made that mistake once), but it was bad bad bad. And over-priced. The burgers were watery (WATERY!? A burger should be juicy, but never watery) and totally lacking flavor. The burrito was likewise bland and watery. The fries were limp. The aioli was runny and tasted like nothing but, you guessed it, water. I have yet to try the pizza, but truth be told, I'm kind of afraid. The food situation was just not good at all. Despite the dreadful food experience, I still return to Fort George for the beers and the ambiance. Housed in a two story warehouse, Fort George comes complete with ample seating, and lots of board games. It's the perfect place to sit, drink, and play (but definitely not eat).

  • Christina M.

    Great fish and chips. Highly recommend the jalapeño poppers as well as the squashbuckler beer (seasonal). Busy place, had to wait a while but definitely worth it for the fish and chips.

  • Sally M.

    Upstairs is pretty much the perfect place for a large, casual group gathering, especially a pizza party! Plenty of room to either sit or stand around and socialize. Easy to grab a drink at the bar and the bartenders are super nice. Ten pizzas were set up in one table with bowls of grated Parmesan and red pepper. Another table with plates, napkins, and water pitchers and prepoured glasses of water. Pizza was hot and delicious, loaded with toppings, and a crisp yet chewy crust. The slices were cut skinnier than usual, which was great for trying different types of pizza. FYI, the black olives are super salty. Love that they have a coat rack and board games. Kid friendly. The pizzas are a little pricey (~$20 for a large), which can really add up for a group. I also didn't like how there are separate menus for upstairs and downstairs and you can't order from the other level's menu. Someone from my group asked about a kids menu and the server said it wasn't an option since we were sitting upstairs...lame.

    We stopped in for drinks after having dinner at another location and this is a really cool place. The spiral staircase takes you up to another bar and sitting area. We tried a couple of beers while we watched the food come out of the kitchen and decided we would come back for a taste! They also had a great outdoor area.

    We took our black lab to the beach. So when it came time to find a place to have dinner, we wanted to find a place with outdoor seating so we didn't have to leave our dog in the car. Fort George has a really nice patio where it is definitely dog friendly. There were many other dogs with their owners on the patio. They also have buckets and a water station so we didn't need to worry about our pup getting dehydrated in the sun. The wait staff were all nice to the animals and seemed genuinely friendly. The beers we had were tasty and the food we had was good. We each chose a burger and fries and both were delicious. The fries had garlic on them which gave them a great flavor. I will say, you have to pay extra for bacon, so when you only see one strip that's disappointing. I would recommend to them that they at least put two strips on there if not 3. I think it's a dollar extra, so one strip doesn't feel like we got our money's worth.

    Straight away Fort George gets a 4 simply for our overall experience and the staff. We had 3 adults and a toddler. The atmosphere was pleasantly laid back (think seat yourself) AND there was a shelf designated for toddlers and kids. We had a sweet waitress who not only engaged the adults at the table but was sweet and accommodating to my little man which in my book gets ANYONE extra extra bonus points. Thus this review should be read as biased and purely from the perspective of a very pleased momma (not a beer connoisseur or food critic). We never felt rushed or out of place. Service was consistently timely and friendly. When our waitress was on lunch we were never forgotten and checked in on a couple of times. My food in particular was where I would score Fort George a 3 (averaged over all 3 meals ordered at our table). I ordered the albacore fish and chips. To put it plainly the fish was not good. It was bland and overcooked (chewing was a surprising venture); the homemade tartar sauce was very tasty which allowed me to consume more than a couple bites of my fish. The fries were basic and satisfactory. The beer was exactly what I hoped for...a deep chocolate stout (Viva la Stout)--I would order this one again. My mom had the spinach salad with chicken--she loved the dressing and reported that her chicken was "perfectly" cooked. According to my husband he ordered a hamburger with added cheese and bacon--he felt it was an average burger with a small patty with "not a lot" of bacon. His ginger beer was pleasantly "spicy"--I do believe for most it would be an acquired taste and apparently we have that taste considering we enjoyed the uniqueness of his beverage. In summary, the food may not bring us back but if we're in Astoria and we want a pleasant experience with our little man in tow we will return.

    Ft. George is the place to be in Astoria. This place has it all: food, beer, open space, and fun ambience. It is currently stout month, and they have a dangerous lineup of carefully crafted dark beer. There is ample space to hang out with friends, which is backdropped by huge fermenting vats. I will definitely come back here next time I am in town.

  • Christina S.

    Came to Astoria specifically to come to Fort George, and it was a very lovely experience. The brewery is in a charming building that looks very coastal. We got a flight to sample all the beers and there were something like 17 tasters! Many of them were very delicious. We also opted to get he fish and chips to snack on and they were quite good as well! Humongous pieces of fish and not too heavy of breading, and the fries seemed made in house. We also got a pint of their Pucker Pi which was a rather scrumptious sour ale, and I liked that he pints were served out of mason jars. That had a quaint touch. Nice little outdoor patio seating that was dog friendly so our pooch could join us while we sampled. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and if I ever happen to find myself in Astoria again I would definitely drop in again!

    My friends and I had just finished a hike and were famished, so honestly anything put in front of us would've been devoured on the spot. Regardless of that fact, we were looking for some filling and heavy burgers, and this place definitely delivered! The hamburger with added smoked applewood bacon that I got was perfectly cooked, as were the Anaheim pepper burgers my friends got. We also tried the smoked salmon spread and the sausage sampler platter, both of which were yummy. The service was excellent, our water mason jars were always full, and the food came out fast. We didn't try the house hot sauce or the beers or anything this place is truly known for, but the food kept us happy and that's all you can really ask for. I'd recommend stopping by here if you're in Astoria!

  • Matthew H.

    Didn't disappoint. Our first time in Astoria and for any beer fanatic it's a must stop. Even if beer isn't your thing the food is pretty stinking good. We split a sausage calzone and the salmon spread. I had to have a couple oyster shooters. Everything was delicious and the service top notch. We'll be back for sure.

    I've been to Fort George a couple of times and have had their beer a gazillion times! Both times I've visited have been in February or January, so I didn't get to sit outside on what looks like to be an amazing patio. Someday I'll have to go in the sunshine. Their beers are delicious. The most recent time I was there I had the Squash Buckler, which was the most delicious pumpkin beer I've had! The only thing I have eaten here is the clam chowder and it was amazing. It had just the right texture and was peppery. Our bartender was great. He was helpful and funny. I want to come back on a Sunday night for their live music. They also have an upstairs that wasn't opened when I've gone that serves brick oven pizza. Anytime I'm in Astoria I won't miss a chance to stop here!

  • KElly E.

    Came here for a late dinner, one of only a few places still open that late (9:45pm). The Albacore fish and chips were great, very filling. It came with a good tartar sauce for dipping. And boyfriend tried the working girl porter. I tried the sausage sampler platter. 4 different 3inch sausages served with pita bread, 3 different slices of cheese, and a horseradish dipping sauce. A sweet Italian, a spicy chile, a garlic, and a special of the day which was aged cheddar and ale. All were good but the garlic one and the cheddar ale one were my favorites and I wish I had just gotten the sausage meal, which was a full size sausage of your choice served with sauerkraut. I had a glass of the Willamette Valley pinot noir that was on the menu, it was smooth, delicate and delicious, It was a great compliment to the sausages. I may need to go buy a bottle. Seating was easy, the service was friendly and helpful. For being there on a very cold night, the place was warm and cozy. The place looks great from the outside with all the windows and the glow from inside making it stand out. On entering you have to decide basically what you are wanting to eat so you know what section of the restaurant/bar you want to sit in. Some beers and the pizzas and calzones were only available upstairs on the 2nd floor. We ate on the 1st floor so we could try the fish and chips and sausages. The whole place had this classy feel too it with all the wood and steel and warm lighting. Would love to return and try more things.

    Mac n cheese takes 30 min? That's some slow cookin' by any means. Next time I'm in Astoria I'll be sure to hit the Fish n chips boat and grab a drink at the tiki spot instead. Booo to this place

  • Melissa L.

    Very disappointing. My husband ordered the fish sandwich and since every other cod on the menu was fried, made an assumption that it would be fried and it wasn't. It was grilled and just so so. The bun was soggy so he just ate the fish with a fork. I had the falafal and they just weren't very good. Not particularly cheap and not a huge choice of foods.

  • Tawnya S.

    we should start with the beer and the bathroom rock! the fish and chips were adequate. They were rather bland although the tartar sauce was very good. We also had the key lime for dessert, however it desperately needed whipped cream. overall I would recommend it as long as you arent a foodie.

    Interesting place to kick back, drink some local brew and check out all the items hanging around. Da Gooch and I found ourselves in Astoria on a day trip. Went to the maritime museum, parked and walked the 2 blocks to fort George. Sat at the bar, the barkeep was immediately there advising us on brews _ I had the divinity, which was a wheat fruity beer. I quite enjoyed it. Food was ok, got the fish tacos, just a teeny piece of fish of unknown rock fish species. Gooch had the burger, he liked it the fries were no Buenos

    Stopped in for a pint and lunch on Mother's Day. Really good service and their beer is very tasty. Unfortunately, the food is just ok. My husband had a house-made sausage, which he enjoyed. But my spinach salad wasn't so enjoyable. Canned pears, little bits of tomato, no hazelnuts, overdressed. The chevre was the only thing that saved it. But for $11, I wanted something a bit more worth the price point. They did comp me a beer for being a breeder, though, which was a very nice sentiment. Next time we visit, we might try the upstairs for some pizza and see how that fare fares.

    We stopped in Astoria on our weekend getaway. We already love this town and were excited to see all the new additions. This brewery being one of their gems. The food options were good, but not too overwhelming. We enjoyed our beers and everything we ate. We were especially pleased with our server, Zack, who was friendly, attentive, helpful and not at all pushy. He was nice to our energetic toddler and dog that joined us. We felt welcomed and can't wait to visit next time we come through town. I will add though...as I do for every establishment, PLEASE install a baby changing station in both bathrooms. Changing a toddler that can't sit still on a cold and dirty floor sucks. They are not expensive and should exist everywhere that families are welcome.

    I have been here many times and can always count on a good solid meal even if it does have that "bar food" taste to it. If I want something a little more sophisticated I go elsewhere but this place is always reliable. They are always consistent, fun, and prompt. Oh and they have wifi which was great since I really really needed to send an email to my editor. Thank you Fort George! I recommend the albacore tuna melt with a side salad. The chunk of tuna is fresh and large for the price and the salad is wonderful! The only thing I hate about the place is how noisy it is and my mother has a hard time hearing in there. (Well actually, so do I!)

    First time to Fort George's and I will definitely be going back! From the smoked salmon dip to the Tri-tip steak that was cooked amazingly, all the way to the carrot cake that was some of the best I've ever had, the food was 100% on point! The beer was obviously a win! The only upset and the reason this is a 4 star and not 5 is because they weren't doing taster trays :/ The service though was amazing! Very courteous and they had all the answers for any food or beer related questions! If you're looking for a great place with great food, service and of course beer in Astoria, I'd say skip Rogue and go to Fort George's!

    Checked this place out with my sister and partner for a quick lunch. It seemed pretty busy, so I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't be a quick lunch and would make me late to an appointment. I was surprised how quickly we were seated. The server was very friendly and brought us our drinks and Oyster Shooters (yum) very quickly. We were also surprised how quickly our food was brought out. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was very comfortable. We sat outside on their patio. Wonderful views and lots of cool history. Will have to go back for dinner sometime.

    What an incredible brewery. 12 beer tasting flight, all of which ranged from interesting to downright awesome, and in a location that looks down upon the beautiful Columbia River. What an amazing building. Downstairs, hugely massive open timbers crisscross below the second floor making the space feel truly original and quite awe inspiring. The upstairs space however took the prize as its finishes and wood-fired pizza oven coupled with the elevated views proved incredible. Kathleen our bartender was happy, helpful, and very knowledgeable about what she poured. I was served the pork burrito, which was large and filled with basmati and red-sauced pork. Appetizer chips were from the bag, and were served with a spicy red sauce. If there is a chink in the Fort George armor, it may be here. That being said, these are the only two food items I had, and a fair assessment should be made with more. The fifth star may come with a future update If in or around Astoria, this is a must-stop. Beautiful spaces, great beers, great service. Going back ASAP. A most memorable experience.

  • Adam B.

    Went because a number of locals had explained that this is the place to go in Astoria; and though it was not bad, this wasn't my favorite distillery in town. The cod within the fish and chips was perfectly cooked but the batter was soggy and failed to adhere very well to the fish; the fish and chips were basically an average dish and the rest of those in my party would say the same about their meals, just eh. The beer was the main reason for why I went and they had a wealth of selection and none disappointed. The service was okay but the place was getting somewhat crowded and we felt slightly neglected by the waitress by the end of the meal. If you are there for beer then sit at the bar and prepare for a great experience, otherwise, you might be suited to bypass this place due to the heavy tourist traffic.

    Busiest day of the year. We got seated almost right away. Service was very friendly and quick. They even had people taking beer orders while they waited in line for a table. Smart move. Fun place. We are coming back for sure. Oh by the way good and beer are great.

    The service was amazing, very helpful server who offered samples of the beer for those of us who are indecisive. The chicken bleu sandwich was classic, and the chile verde burrito has a surprise with the intense heat and basmati rice. Plates were cleaned! Finished up with lemon cheese cake with toasted marshmallow meringue. Wow. Delicious food and great place to hang out.

    Fort George Brewery is the complete brewery experience. The family I joined has been going to Fort George for a long time and recommends it to visitors. The brewery offers a wide variety of food; burgers and entrees downstairs and pizza and pasta upstairs. You can also walk across to the barrel room to sit at the wine bar for some snacks and drinks. The upstairs has great views of the Astoria bay and has beautiful wood features. You can enter from the downstairs pub and walk up the twirly stairs or enter the upstairs from the east side of the building. Great for families and large groups!

    Super friendly. They messed up on a glueton free salad on one of our orders, and comped it for the mixup even after replacing the salad with a HUGE replacement.

    Beer and PATIO review only. My fiancé and I were visiting Astoria for a Sunday fun day with the fur balls and saw a fabulous pet-friendly, sun filled patio serving up house brewed beer. That's practically love at first sight for us, the place was packed so we took a stand at one of the tall outer shelf tables. We received relatively good service (slow on occasion) and the beer was EXCELLENT. The WIT was one of the best I've had and my partner was a fan of the IPA's. This is a great spot to chill out, get a drink, tie up the pooches and mingle. Lots of people watching opportunities as well.

    Absolutely Great beer, but bland food. Had the Fish and Chips and my wife had the fish tacos while my daughter had the bean and cheese burrito. All were lacking in flavor. However, the beer was fantastic. So if you go there don't have high expectations for the food but do go for the beer. By the way the coffee shop next door is really good.

    Will come here again and will the try upstairs menu in the "Tap Room". We sat our family of 4 in the main room and had a good meal. The waiter was polite and seemed to have a sense of urgency about him (perfect). The hostess seemed winded and she explained to us that they just had a huge rush finally simmer down. We looked at the time and realized we were having a late lunch. The town of Astoria offers a lot of enticing cuisines and menus, however, since we were toting a toddler this place sounded and looked like a place where we could all be happy. Despite not totally enjoying my "salmon spread" dip that I wrongly ordered for dinner out of exhaustion and an incapacity to mentally process a menu past the appetizer page, I still give this place a high rating. My much pickier and more critical dining companions (husband and kids) were all happy with their decisions, thus a very happy Mommy. Thanks Fort George for being just the oasis we needed after many hours locked in steel and fiberglass coasting on ashpalt. Oh, and the table blend red wine quenched every thirst I had.

    The food is delicious, but they messed up our order one 2 separate visits. (We had to give them a 2nd try because we were there for the weekend and the food was delicious). Also, during our first visit we were asked to move tables after getting our food...because they needed a bigger table for a bigger group. This felt a little weird.

  • Bob F.

    We came in looking to get a solid lunch but left yearning to something more (quality/creativeness not quantity). This is really a place that I would recommend getting a drink but not get food (unless you are really hungry). The beer selection is solid and offers choices for everyone. I had a seasonal beer flight and was happy with what I tried. I have been to quite a few breweries and had many beer flights in my time and I would put this one on a top 10 list. I am always happy to go to places in the Pacific Northwest that support local brands and ingredients and this place is no exception. I felt primarily under satisfied with the tuna melt which lacked cheese and sundries tomatoes and essentially taste to the sandwich. The service was good overall but like I mentioned our purpose was to get food more so than drinks. I would come back for the beer and atmosphere.

    Great food, good service, awesome beer selection. I tried all 13, and found the 3-way and the plasma farmhouse, seasonal brews were the best! Clam chowder was creamy with a bit of spice to it. One of the best chowders I've had on the coast. Very filling and awesome environment.

    After the :30 wait for a table in the upstairs restaurant - service was good, she was just a bit overloaded and couldn't get to everyone as quickly as she, or they, wanted her to. Good beer - try the red ale. Pizza was AWESOME! Real wood fired, no gas. Crust was amazing - had the chicken, artichoke, & sundried tom. Recommend it! I'll be back!

  • Kyle S.

    Expensive and bland watery fish and chips cooked in some kind of oil either not changed or not suited to fish and chips. They were out of a fair amount of menu items such as LEMONADE (seriously how do you run out of lemonade?) And everything was quite sticky. I'd recommend bowpickers as just the smell alone trumped the fish and chips here and was 4/5 bucks cheaper.

  • J J.

    Excellent service, excellent beer (every one!) We had the sampler taster tray with about 13 different tastes. They were all excellent. The food was excellent too. I had the spinach salad with cheese and chicken. My son had the sausage sampler and a Ceasar salad. My husband had the special which was tri-tips with sticky rice and macaroni salad. His plate had TWO starches?? Weird. It should have come with a salad or vegetable instead of the bland macaroni. People are diet conscientious enough these days to at least want 3 food groups in a dinner I would think. Perfect other wise!

    Awesome outdoor seating, lovely deck. Excellent food & drink. Daily special is the way to go on food. Smoked salmon platter sounds good but I it's not, tastes like canned salmon

    Fort George Brewery is about as good as it gets for Astoria, OR. It's a bit off the main road, but still an excellent location. It looks like an old warehouse, but has been decorated well to fit its surroundings. My husband and I strolled in around 11:30 on a Saturday and it was busy throughout. We sat outside a lovely patio and were the only people there who didn't bring a dog :( But we were able to observe some cute pooches enjoying the afternoon. Our waiter came out and shared the specials and listed off the tap list. They make the best Wit I've ever had. It's perfect. We settled on the wit with fish and chips. The menu had a nice selection of different entrees, sandwiches, sausages, soups, as well as a kids menu. The special (Reuben) sounded excellent, but I'm glad I got the fish and chips. I've never had tuna fish and chips, but it works very well. The batter is not to greasy and the fries weren't too salty. I frequently order fish and chips.... and these certainly did not disappoint. The tartar sauce was the best I have ever had. Following our meal, we ventured to the upstairs part of the restaurant. I wish that we had eaten up there. The view is spectacular! Attire: you could come here for a date or following a long bike and feel comfortable Price: not bad at all! Taps can be less than 3 and lunch around 10. Not too bad! Bathrooms: CLEAN! So rare for a brew pub. Take home- if you're in the area, be sure to make your way to the Fort George brewery!!

    AWESOME brewery! My bf and I came for lunch per reccomendation of a coworker of his. Went upstairs because we were feelin a lil pizza-y and were seated at an awesome community table by the window. Our service was super friendly, attentive and helpful! We ordered a broccoli calzone and their truffle mac and cheese- I know, not pizza but the options were overwhelming for our inner fat kid. Calzone was perfect and tasty and the truffle mac was divine. He got a beer and I got the pear cider, which was lightly sweet and crisp. Went surprisingly well with our cheesy goodness meal. Will come back again!!

    Fun place, great selection of beers, the Triple IPA was excellent. Pizza was gourmet with fresh motz and basil. Make sure to check out the Tap Room, where you can see the actual brewery in operation. They had corn hole set up for people to play. They have a good thing going here.

  • Chris J.

    I calibrate my reviews to the establishment. This place is all about the beer, and the beer is as good as it gets. If you want great food and high concept, this ain't the place. The food is pretty basic but very good pub grub. I know people from Tacoma who make beer runs here to fill up their growlers in the tap room for parties they're hosting, and we are not slackers in the beer making department, so that's saying something. The tap room is where to go. About 20 excellent and innovative beers rotate through here. To describe and name any of them would be a waste of time, since they constantly change, but let's say that there are ample Belgian and dark styles for all. They also have a game, which no shit, a person told me was called corn hole, involving throwing a bean bag about 50 feet into a hole. Seems like a combination of horseshoe and shuffleboard. In the main public house, there are different menus on each floor, which seems to bother some people, but they are just whining. If you want pizza, go upstairs, if you want other stuff, eat downstairs or outside. Very simple. The main public house has the full flight of Fort George's regular offerings, e.g., Vortez, Cavatica, etc,.

    Great place to top off a walk by the beautiful waterfront as it's not too far away. The dinning and tasting room looks new and spacious. I had the beer taster which let you choose 8-13 beers per order. The server was very good in explaining everything and describing each beer for novice like me. Food was great too. My friends ordered pizza to share while others got salads as entrees.

    I'm happy to say that I finally got a chance to go back and try this place. Albeit, it took a couple of years. As many of you have read my first review, it was recommended by an Astoria resident that I go give it a try and go check out the bar up the spiral staircase. We did and on this nice day in late May it was packed on a Friday night and the view out the windows was great. We took a seat at the bar and ordered up some food and drink (the bar was about the only place left to sit--so it's a popular place). The pizza was very tasty and a different combination then I had ever had before. I stuck to soft drinks as a beer drinker--I am not--but all in all a good atmosphere and tasty food (the food upstairs is different than downstairs I'm told--FYI). I would definitely try this place again.

    Great space and vibe. Food was really good and wait staff on their toes ;);). Live music added to a great experience. Now...... I had the "Optimist" and it was maybe best beer I've ever had..... and I like great beers. Enjoy!!!! We'll be back ;);)

  • Zac C.

    The beer tasted like water and the service was terrible. I ordered a porter that had a quality of a miller lite in regards to flavor. I understand everyone likes beer a bit different but beer should at least have flavor or alcohol content. We waited about ten minutes to get a drink order and then twenty for a different server to take our food order. We had our silverware was tossed to us by our last server. The pizza we had brought the review from one to two stars as it was good. I have a feeling the food in the rest of the place would be good as well. Overall I wouldn't return if I lived near by but maybe we had the place on an off day and a bad batch of beer.

    You will love the beer! Especially if you are a stout or IPA drinker. The new IPA session beer coming out (available only in the tasting room) is awesome! Low alcohol %. Also, both the Vortex and the optimist are excellent IPAs as well. There is a lot to choose from. The service and food were excellent as well! Highly recommend a stop if you are headed through or visiting Astoria. So worth the time and money. Make sure you bring growler(s) so you take some deliciousness back for you and friends!

    Stopped in for dinner during our visit to Astoria. This is a very cool looking building....wood everywhere, cool hardware, blown glass light fixtures. This place has a very upscale, urban feel to it. When you first come in, head up the spiral staircase to sit....there is a whole other bar area up there and the view is really amazing. The menu isn't really large, so we just settled on clam chowder and pizza. Our chowder was very tasty and our pizza was VERY good! We ordered half sausage and half Mediterranean. The crust is crispy and chewy and delish! Our server(s) were very attentive and friendly.

  • Amy N.

    If you are a beer drinker (or even if you aren't!) this place is a must in Astoria!! The beer is amazing - the Divinity is delicious and only available at the brewery so make sure to at least try it. The food is so-so but better than most "bar food". We like the fish & chips and the burgers. Great atmosphere, kid-friendly (they even have books and games to keep the kids occupied), friendly and knowledgeable staff and a beautiful patio. The easiest 5 stars I've ever given!

    (5)

  • Nathan M.

    Nice decor and fun environment. There are 3 different areas to explore. Upstairs is a pizza and calzone menu, downstairs is more of a standard pub fair. Then you can also go to the tasting room over by where they produce their beer. Lots to explore! My wife really like her burger and fries, my rock fish tacos were a bit dry but still good. We would come back again.

  • Addy R.

    Update Edit: I had reviewed this place before and coming back from seaside, my husband and I decided to give it another try especially after our first time here which was a let down! But no matter how much I try it seems like it keeps getting worse. It must be an Oregon thing cuz this place sucks in service and food (new menu). This place wouldn't last a day back where I'm from (Southern California) the wait for the food is even worse! I did want to try the tuna steak but it seems like down stairs is under construction and they took that off the menu. Too bad because I would of suck it up for one last bite haha. Oh and beer well, it's good but with everything else that's bad it just doesn't even it out. I must add my review is for when I went this past January 2015.

    The Fort George Brewery and Public House actually consists of three places: the downstairs bar, the upstairs with the woodstone pizza oven, and something else across the parking lot, possibly the actual brewery. I went to get pub, downstairs. While they have the regular items such as hamburgers, salads, and fish tacos, I got a couple of oyster shooters and the sausage sampler. I tested out one of their beers, the IPA, and got a glass of tripel au poivre - a black pepper beer. I should've stuck with the IPA, as it was excellent. The pepper beer was okay. The oyster shooters were just fine. Nothing crazy to report there. The sausage sampler was awesome. Four types of sausage, and three types of cheese: spicy sausage, sun-dried tomato and basil sausage, French garlic sausage, and a sweet Italian sausage... With Swiss, cheddar, and pepper jack cheeses. It came with a sweet - hot mustard. Pretty darn delicious stuff! As for the service, I came in as Sean was getting ready to leave. He made some recommendations, and gave me a sample of the IPA along with the beer I ordered. He made sure to put in my food order before he left, and then Sandy took over. Sandy was great as well, making sure I was taken care of and very friendly. The people that worked there looked like they genuinely enjoyed working there. I had a great time, even by myself, talking with the staff and people sitting nearby. I will be sure to go back the next time I'm in Astoria.

    great beer, accommodating staff, and decent food. I had the "Tuesday's Lunch" stout which is amazing and tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. stopped in on Presidents' Day, the place was pretty full but we were lucky enough to snag some bar stools really quickly. sausage sampler was delicious, the mustard was amazing, I could have skipped the slices of deli cheese but that's just me. our server was super nice & helpful even while dealing with a bar full of customers! definitely stop in again. especially now during stout month!

    While traveling down to Oceanside Oregon with my family this summer I planned our trip so that we'd be able to make a stop at the Fort George Pub and Brewery in Astoria. I had heard great things about their beers but nothing about the food they serve. When we arrived they gave us the option of eating upstairs or downstairs. Each location had a slightly different menu and tap list. For the complete tap list we'd have to go out to the tap room instead. We choose to eat upstairs. With over 12 taps we had enough beer to take care of us. We started with their amazing cheese stuffed roasted sweet peppers. Even my kids got into the act on these and chowed down. The kids then ordered themselves a pizza while I ordered some bacon potato wedges and a mac and cheese. My wife ordered one of their salads. Our wedges were up next and while they were okay, even with the bacon, they were a bit under cooked and tough in the middle. The the rest of our food soon arrived. The pizza looked nice and the kids seemed to enjoy it. My mac and cheese was everything you'd expect from such a dish, They use Oregon Tillamook cheddar cheese and plenty of it. For beer I ordered a sampler platter and each were solid beers that I would drink any day. On our drive back north I made another stop here and stepped into their tap room which was very well stocked with all of their regular beers plus plenty of special beers to make a beer geeks heart sing. If you find yourself in the area or driving through I highly recommend you pull into the Fort George Pub and Brewery.

    It's our third time here in 3 days and we may have to come back tomorrow. The addiction grows. Great beer and awesome food. Love the vortex IPA along with the Verde burrito. And we don't live here in Astoria. But now we may move here from Seattle just to enjoy this year round. Cheers FGB.

  • Shelby T.

    My husband and I have been here twice during our trips to Astoria. Both times we've had good service, and even though they've been very busy both times, we were never made to feel rushed. Their pear cider was only okay, but my husband really liked the Quick Wit beer. My favorite dish is the Mac and Cheese (with the truffle sauce!) it's very rich and very filling. Their pizzas aren't anything too special, but they hit the spot when that's what you're craving. The building is beautiful, and if you eat upstairs you have a great view of the river. Overall, it's a good Astoria experience and we will definitely be back a third time!

    This is what drinking good craft brews should be all about-quenching our thirst with the seasonal 3-way IPA, heavy on the citrus, delicious. Fantastic view of the Columbia River. Location in a 2-story brick 1920's building that was an auto repair garage. Upstairs, downstairs, cool bars and seating areas with views-sun & river & pleasant breezes. The Painted Hills tri-tip steak, cole slaw and handcut-Organic fries was good. Service great! We breezed in from Portland, first time here! We'll be back (imagine Arnold's voice) to flex our biceps and tip a few more brews!

    Three stars for beer and food minus one star for customer service. Sign said 'seat yourself' and after waiting a few minutes a table came open. As we arrived at the table a waitress came from behind and said, "Uh, could you guys NOT sit there until someone has a chance to clear the table first." (She sounded condescending and irritated with us.) I asked,"Ok, are you going to clear it so I can sit down then?" She responded with, "Uhhh, no. I can't right now.", nodding to the tray of beer she was carrying. So I replied, "well then I guess you should get somebody over here to take care of it." and sat down. Holy power struggle with the waitress, Batman! Instead of helping us, she went about her business and eventually another server came to clear our table. This second server took our beer order and forgot but at least she was coming from the right place. It was an honest mistake and she apologized profusely. Attitude is everything. If only the first person we encountered had offered to help us rather than confront us. I really don't appreciate being treated like I'm doing something wrong for sitting down at an empty table in a restaurant. Not going to be back here anytime soon.

    I've been well acquainted with the beers of Fort George so it was high time to see the location, try the food, and beer at the source. They definitely have done well with their location- having nicely done up the first and second floors of the building. We went for the second floor, up the spiral staircase, where they bake up pizzas on their wood fired oven and the view out the window is spectacular, especially when the sun is retiring for the day. The stools for the tables were all fashioned out of old barrels, which I would like to believe they built themselves (or someone built, not important). The beer was great as expected and went great with their food- I was a particular fan of the clam chowder.

    If we had only had beer, I would have given four stars. But when we went in a couple weeks ago, very hungry after a fairly long day hike, our food (a chicken sandwich and a sausage) took nearly an hour to arrive. We waited and waited as people who had arrived at the same time as us got their food, ate, paid, and left. Our server took a round of beers off the tab without us even mentioning anything, so that was nice. But it was still another 15 minutes before the food arrived, and the food was--I'm not sure if "ironically" is quite the right word--very overcooked. I would go again for the beer. Our server was really nice, too. But I would take advantage of one of the many alternatives in downtown Astoria for food.

    Great location in the middle of Astoria with an amazing view of the Columbia. It is then enhanced with tasty cold beer, wood burning pizza oven and friendly staff. You do not need to drive to Astoria, OR to drink Fort George beers but if you happen to live within an hour of it make the drive!

    Went here with my husband and had a solid lunch with excellent service. The vibe is casual. People came with friends, family, kids, and dogs (only the people seated outside). There's a lot of seating space, the staff were attentive, and the food was good. There were a couple periods of waiting--we waited awhile for our check, but it was pretty busy and overall it was a good experience. We got the salmon spread appetizer which was okay--it comes with tasty flatbread, carrot sticks and green apple slices--just a little too cream cheese-y and not as salmon-y as I had hoped for. I had the albacore fish and chips, which were really tasty. Looking at the fish I thought it would be greasy but it wasn't at all, just a really solid breading and super hearty fish that filled me up quick. Overall it was a good experience and I'd recommend it if you're in the area.

  • Charles L.

    A visit to Fort George is de rigueur whenever we come to Astoria. With the new upstairs level (featuring wood-fired pizza and calzones), the food choices become even more difficult! (I lean toward the veggie chili, but everything that we have ordered has been delicious.) As to their beer... so many excellent choices! You cannot go wrong with any of their brews. My personal favorites are Cavatica Stout, Sunrise OPA, The Optimist, and Nut Red Ale. Be sure to ask for tasters of any seasonals, which are also worthy of your attention.

  • James S.

    Wow! This place must be juicing because boy has it grown! When I first came here over 5 years ago, it was just the one room. Now it's the whole building on a city block, upstairs and down, and a tap room off in the back! And why wouldn't they grow! They turn out a damn fine product. They're the only game in town but their product would(and maybe has) go up against anything in Portland. Love the building. It's old and it's in Astoria, WIN! Bartenders keep it low key. Kicking myself for forgetting my growler!

  • Ornella C.

    I've been here a few times already, but only for drinks, this last time my hubby and I had some appetizers. First, the place is big and spacious with 2 levels, my favorite being the bar upstairs. For beers, I love the quick wit is really good and not too hoppy. I had the clam chowder, it was really tasty but a little too heavy on the veggies and not enough chunks of meat. The meat calzone was good but my favorite was the salmon spread, enough for 2 or maybe 3 people, it came with apple slices, carrots and delicious pita bread. This may become my favorite bar in Astoria, highly recommend!

    We only drank away our time at Fort George. But we did enjoy it. My hubby got the Quick Wit & I got Divinity. Both were good but we both liked the Divinity better. So the growler got filled with Divinity. The staff was very friendly, fast and kept on top of things. They allow dogs on the patio and provide water bowls. If you sit outside, be prepared to have neighbors as you share picnic tables. Our neighbors got food and all I can say is the burritos are huge and the home cut fries with chili looked decadent! If we are ever back in Astoria, we will be back here.

    Enjoyed everything about the Ft George Brewery. Started with gorgeous view of the Columbia River in the Upstairs, (climbing up the reclaimed stairs from the Astoria Column).

    It's been a long time since I found a place I just love and see myself hanging at all the time. I work in a brewery and understand being a server and like to think I know good beer. The staff was very informative and very nice here. They were busy but made time for us. The food was amazing and the beer was very good too. I'd like to say this place reminds me of the place I work and it's an awesome place full of people who work hard and actually care about their product and customers. Way to go Fort George and keep it up. ;)

  • Tracy W.

    They have good beer and a good selection. Overpriced beer especially for a brewery, you can get their beer cheaper elsewhere. Food is good, a little spendy but good. The service is absolutely horrible. Went to fill a growler and forgot the lid. They said too bad we don't carry lids. They won't give (or charge you) for a 25 cent lid??? They break or get damaged all the time' also very slow and not very personable. It's like you're bothering the staff by being there (I've been a few times). And would a shower kill you??? This place is a hippie place but please! There's a point when you need to be 1/2 presentable. I'll go again for albacore fish and chips, but don't look for a tip.

    Beer sampler plate... FREAKING AMAZING. I am a huge fanatic about fish Tacos. So I ordered theirs. A healthy serving of Rock fish inside 3 over stuffed corn tortillas, paired really well with their house made mango Haberno Sauce. The Clam Chowder was flavorfull. Full of clam chowder and packed full of flavor!! I will certainly be going back and enjoying these delightful foods.

    Good food? Check. Awesome space? Check. Friendly and knowledgable staff? Check. Some of our favorite beer? Double check. And they have a patio. Cannot go wrong with this place. We come every time we visit.

    Live music was fun. Dominic the server was very nice. Beer was great!!! I had the filafel and fries.. filafel was messy but soooooo worth it. Fries were the best ever!!! Vibe was good too.

    We went on a Valentines weekend Beer tour and Fort George was our favorite! The people are very friendly, the back bar was fun and entertaining! We ordered the albacore tuna fish n chips and the pieces of fish were huge! Very satisfied with the all around experience and we will be back on our next visit for sure:).

    Great place to saddle up to the bar and try some very nice and interesting beers. Thought the seasonal IPA was outstanding.

    Their porter is amazing - one of the best I've had. Beware the stout tho - it's delish, but at 8.8% alcohol, it packs a wallop!

    As a brewery, cool. As a restaurant, meh.Plenty of beers to choose from. I had a tuna melt, which was good. The fries that came with it were limp. My friends both got fish tacos, which they liked but were pretty dang skimpy on the meat. The upstairs seating wasn't open when we were there, but it looked like it would have a killer view! Overall, I prefer Wet Dog...

    ehhhh I'm a huge, giant, mega fan of Fort George beers, particularly the Vortex IPA and the Nut Red Ale. Nut Red, specifically, is just an absolutely exquisite elixir. Armed with that knowledge, I couldn't pass up a chance to visit the brewery while we were over at Fort Stevens a few weeks back. Not shabby. It was a really beautiful evening in Astoria (upper 60's and clear) and the place was pretty busy, even with the crab/seafood/wine festival occurring on the other side of town. The interior of the place is simple and kind of rustic. I appreciated the big chalkboard behind the bar outlining all their beer. Once we settled with a two-top table our server came by quickly to get beer going. So far, so good! Ahhh, Nut Red. So tasty. Be warned: they're certainly not imperial pints - Ft. G decides that it's appropriate to serve them in the mason jars, which is on the order of many ounces less than a standard imperial pint. Just an FYI. Food - we started with jalapeno poppers, and I chose the chicken bacon bleu melt sandwich, while my friend James opted for the rock fish tacos. Unfortunately, the best part of the meal were the poppers (for me), and even then they were just very basic. The chicken sandwich was not good. There was no bleu cheese component that was remarkable at all. Bleh. I swapped half of my sandwich for one of James' tacos and promptly bit into two bones within three bites. Talk about ruining a taco - argh! I will give them that the fish was cooked nicely, but there's no faster way to turn me off of some tacos. Ultimately: two stars for the beer, 1 star for the service and I'm going to go with zero stars for the food. I'll come back and try something else (eventually), and update my review then, but three stars is the best I can give it for the time being.

    I've always had good experiences here, even when they're slammed. Good beers, a nice atmosphere. I'll usually grab a growler too, which is a good decision. I've had their food twice, and I'm not sold on it. I really want to try the pizza, but haven't yet been there late enough in the day. Otherwise, I'll pass on the downstairs menu. Everyone I've come here with is really impressed. It's definitely an Astoria must.

    This place is AWESOME!! Very lucky for us it's Stout Month and I'm a dark beer junkie. Viva La Stout was fantastic. The food was great the staff were top notch and even live music. Superb experience all the way round. We were on the upper floor and the styling as well as the atmosphere is a very modern industrial. We loved it. All the bar stools are made from kegs and not just cut kegs thrown around. These are deconstructed staves-for-legs & bands for foot rests repurposed kegs. Lots of what looks like forge hammered steel and it all works so well inside this amazing old building. We will be going back tonight to try out the lower floor. Can't wait!

    Snarky servers! We came at lunch when seating is downstairs only. My friends loved their beer and I loved the cider. The tuna and chips (their take in fish and chips--which is usually halibut) were ok. I'm not a fan of tuna. It's really a dense fish. The soup of the day (a barley tri-tip concoction) was great! LOVED it---should have ordered a bowl! Friend loved her oysters and the kids like their dishes. Even if you don't have to use the bathroom, go and look at it! The artwork is actually quite amazing! Our actual server (the one taking the order and bringing the food/check) was nice and helpful. literally a few minutes after paying our bill we were asked to leave by a gentleman/server. "Hey guys, we got a long line waiting and need this table." And really not in a nice way--his tone and body language were like "get outta here". So we got ready to go and were leaving out the door when the same guy that told us to leave was talking to other guests waiting telling them how he told our table they had to go--people were waiting and we needed to get the heck outta there! Then the guest and the guy laughed about it! He was a jerk when he came to us and told us to leave and then talking with the guests about it was rude! I'm sorry, I'd actually give this NO stars for the snarky waiter guy but then I'd feel bad for the establishment! The food was good and our waitress was awesome.

    Before I get to the food or anything else, I am going to rant about the bathroom. On the plus side, the two restrooms are both men and women's rooms, so it is really a matter of just waiting your turn. On the bad side, the one I went into needed some cleaning and restocking of paper towels. This kind of thing needs to be checked regularly. Even the average Applebee's tends to check their restrooms frequently to prevent that sort of thing from happening. My wife ended up using the other bathroom and said it reeked of old urine. There is simply no excuse for that in a restaurant. Secondly, the menu was pretty spare. It had some cool items but not a lot of basic fare you would expect. For instance, they had grilled Tri tip steak but no French Dip, which would've easy to pull off since they already have tri tip. What we did end up having was pretty good, although my wife said her burger was kinda dry. I had the fish tacos which were outstanding. I would probably go here again, but I think I want to try some other places in Astoria before I come back here. As a final note I want to say the service was good. Attentive, friendly, and pretty efficient.

    I can't give it more than a three and that is because there is no 2 1/2 stars. The food was exceedingly mediocre and the kitchen staff smoking area adjacent to the outdoor dining deck had a "gross fest" going on. When I spoke up up and asked them to stop, a young man said "what happens in the smoking area stays in the smoking area." Ok... I am not hard to please. I even like eating MREs. I've actually had better MREs than that pizza. I will give it a second chance. Maybe....

    Love this place, from the atmosphere to the food and to the beer options. Service could be better. Hit and miss with servers. Some are great some are just eh. TRY THE PIZZA.

  • Mike D.

    Ok atmosphere, nice beer selection, servers were friendly and helpful. The wait was a little long, but this is a popular place. The problem comes with the food. My brother got clam chowder and a tuna melt. My girlfriend had the rockfish tacos. I had the poblano burger. My brother's tuna melt was the best tasting dish and we all enjoyed it. He ate all the clam chowder but none of us thought much of it. My girlfriend's tacos were sopping wet - no one strained the cole slaw, apparently. They were nicely seasoned but the cold corn tortillas and the soup they were sitting in made them unnappealing. My burger was overcooked and didn't taste like much. Later that night my brother had all the signs of food poisoning - we assume from the chowder, since he's the only one that ate it. This happens if you eat out enough, but the fact that this occurred has kept us - along with the mediocre food - from coming back.

  • Melissa C.

    I loved Fort George. The building is super old but the restoration has it looking quite spiffy! The food was yummy (I had the chicken fingers and fries / my other half had the burrito). My husband loved the beer. The service was great - attentive and helpful, as it was our first visit. I love that they have a 1/2 pint size - it's perfect if you want more than a taste but less than a full-on commitment. Try a taster of the Wasabi Ginger Ale. It was sweeter and less spicy than I expected.

    This place is decidedly average. We came here while on a recent trip to Portland wanting to try some of their beer. Instead we were sorely disappointed in their beer. The quality of their beer is definitely not on par with some of the breweries in Portland like Commons or Cascade. Definitely nothing special. For food my husband ordered two oyster shooters because he wanted to try some of the local oysters. When they arrived they were warm, almost as if they had been sitting out for a while. For our meals I ordered a turkey sandwich and he ordered a chicken sandwich. When a server (not our waitress) brought out our food my turkey sandwich came, but they brought us out a falafel instead of a chicken sandwich. We explained that the falafel was definitely not ours and said we ordered a chicken sandwich. The server said she would go talk to the kitchen. Then who we could only assume was the manager came over and assured us the chicken sandwich would be out shortly. A few minutes later another waitress (again not our waitress) brought out fried oysters. Again we told her that we had not ordered the fried oysters and we wanted the chicken sandwich that we had ordered. Another 5-10 minutes passed and my husband finally received his chicken sandwich. Never during this whole time did our actual waitress come over to check on us or to apologize. After my husband was about half way through with our meal she finally came back to check on us and said "Sorry, I hit the wrong button on the order screen." Okay, but that doesn't explain why we then got an order of fried oysters. You would think that for all of this inconvenience they would offer us some sort of discount on our meal. We would have been happy with them comping the 2 oyster shooters which totaled $5, but we got nothing except the flimsy apology from our waitress. And after all of that the food was just okay, definitely not anything to write home about. Overall a very disappointing experience. We will not be returning.

    Sat downstairs, Had the chicken cesaer salad and hummus plate. All was house made and delicious. Had the mild stalyion beer, very light and refreshing. No bad after taste. The inside was all redone, cool pillars and architecture. Good for families and groups. Check it out!

  • Anna U.

    No vegetarian grain-burger but they do have a falafel sandwich that sounds tempting. We had a bowl of the Vegetarian chili with onions and cheese - fresh ingredients, beans still have just a bit of bite, not overcooked. The cilantro makes the black bean and rice burrito great. Big enough to share. Wasabi ginger ale: not as much of a spicy kick as I was expecting, disappointing but drinkable. Beers were served in mason jars. A few very large booths that could fit 8+ HWP people.

  • Susan D.

    The beer was amazing and food was great. We had a large group and unfortunately the server was really put out when the orders were mixed up or somehow delayed. I thought it was reasonable to expect to receive my food order before the check came out. No apology, he just said it was our fault for requesting separate checks, he really was just plain rude.

    The last time I visited Astoria I attempted to eat dinner at Fort George. It was a major fail as the line was out the door and the place was packed. For this trip we decided to venture in at lunch time. Much better idea! Our server was awesome. My husband ordered an IPA and I ordered the taster tray. Our server explained each and every beer down to the process it took to brew it. Very impressive and not something I've seen or experienced when ordering taster trays at other breweries. We shared the hummus plate appetizer and ordered the Albacore Fish and Chips. AMAZING!!! I can't wait to go back for those fish and chips!! Food, beer and service far exceeded our expectations, especially for a brew pub. We will be back for sure!

  • tom S.

    Had a good time there today (July 2014). We opted for the upstairs, with a great view of the river, and LOTS of big tables. Made it easy for our group of 7 to find a table without a reservation. Was very kid friendly, too. Pizza was tasty, and I really liked the 1811 lager. My only complaint is that upstairs, you can't get food from down below (if you don't want pizza, it is salad or mac and cheese). Should also note that the mac and cheese is 5 star awesome! Added broccoli and it was great. Kids and adults LOVED IT. Took a smaller stainless growler to go (expensive, but cool design I can use add a water bottle).

  • Christy C.

    I took my 3 kids here on a busy Saturday night. We had to wait a little bit for seating, but it was not unreasonable. I had the fried oysters with fresh cut fries. The oysters were a little greasy however the overall taste was good. My children had a cheeseburger, the kids hotdog and kids burrito. They all liked their food. I tried a half pint if the Nut Red Ale. It was delicious. The hostess was very friendly and the service was eventually good. The only issue was the waitress walked away in the middle of taking our drink orders which sent the message she was irritated with us or didn't feel we were important to give her full attention. The location, beer and food are excellent. A little server etiquette and the place would be 5 stars.

    We made the drive to Astoria for a nice little day trip. Once we arrived we were hungry and ready to eat. We had seen the Fort George Brewery around and heard about it. After looking on Yelp! for suggestions of places to eat we saw this come up as an option and headed over. The brewery has a cool feel to it in the restaurant. We were seated relatively quickly even though they were busy. Our server came over and was very knowledgeable about the beer tell us about the different option. I do agree with some of the other posts that it can be hard to hear because it gets loud. After taking our drink and food order we settled in. We got the drinks right away. My wife had the wasabe ginger soda they make which was great! The food took a while to arrive. Actually our server was frustrated because he thought my fries weren't warm enough (they weren't) so he brought a piping hot fresh basket of fries too. He also comped our drinks! Above and beyond service on his part. This is a nice stop on the north coast.

    We stopped in for just beers, but we were quickly charmed by the allure of the food, so we split an appetizer. Everything was simply amazing. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star review is that we only had two beers and an appetizer. I can't speak to the entrees, but if they are anywhere close, I would give it 5 and a half stars! First, of course, I have to start with the beers. I had the Nut Red Ale, which was a terrific blend of malt and hops. While some malty beers lose the hoppiness, this one captured them both just perfectly. My companion had the Vortex IPA, which was a hop punch in the mouth, but as an IPA fan, he absolutely loved it. IPA fans will not be disappointed. For our appetizer, we split the sausage sampler, and it was some of the best sausage either of us have ever eaten. There were four links - spicy Italian, sweet Italian, French garlic, and the sausage du jour, which was Vortex IPA with pepperjack cheese. Combined with flat bread, stone ground mustard, and cheeses, there was not a bad bite on the plate. The appetizer was big enough to easily be a meal for one person, or, like in our case, a meal for two not-so-hungry people. They offer brewery tours at 1 and 4 on Saturday and Sunday, and the tour guide tried to recruit guests. Had we not just ordered, we would have taken advantage of that. Guess we'll have to go back. ;)

    Amazing beers, and you have to try their homemade rotating sausage menu! Pop in on a weekend and take a tour of the brewery. Don't forget to stop by the tap room for some super special brews! A must visit location in astoria.

    Best margherita pizza I've ever had in the USA. Our order got messed up two times and they were really nice about it, even covered our entire bIll. I ordered the pumpkin beer, but it didn't taste pumpkin like. Perhaps they brought the wrong one, but I was in no mood to complain. The pizza made up for it! The architects did a good job cleaning up the old warehouse space, it's a nice space. It's the first time I have seen pipe light fixtures similar to ones I have designed myself :-). The only odd thing was the entry, it seemed awkward and 'back door like'.

  • J.c. B.

    I'm rating this place mainly on the atmosphere and beer. I've ate their a few times and can honestly say I'm not a fan of their food. The beers on the other hand are great. They offer brewery tours free of charge. They have this cool tap room setup in the brewery where you can enjoy a different set of beers than in the main bar and sit be the fire as well. Just outside this room in the actual brewery area they have an area to play fooseball and bean bags. Very cool atmosphere. The Black arts festival is coming up this weekend and the place will be packed. This is stout month so don't come here if you don't like stouts. The service is also fairly good.

  • Robert S.

    Opted for the flight of beers and was impressed even though I only liked about half of them. Still, the brewmaster seems to know what he is doing. Regarding the food, we opted for the albacore fish n chips. A tad too much batter but the fish, the sauce, and the fries that came with it were quite good. Add an order of blue cheese and their habanero salsa and you can't go wrong. For dessert, there was carrot cake, blood orange cheesecake, and caramel bacon cheesecake. The cheesecakes stole the show with the nod going to the blood orange.

    Yummy food, awesome building, good kids options and gluten free too. Sausages are killer. Husband said beer was great and they had A good gf beer that I enjoyed but would be nice if they carried one with a smaller bottle. Got busy around 1 in Sunday but wasn't a big deal because the place is huge.

  • Dylan H.

    Great beer, consistently one of my favorites. The kids fish and chips was good, moist, good fries and tartar. Unfortunately my medium rare burger was well done and the aioli was the consistency of thin salad dressing, but my wife's burger was cooked closer to correct. The staff were attentive until our food was delivered and then disappeared, couldn't get anyone's attention, when I mentioned the burger finally (the server came over basically to cash us out) after trying to flag someone down, she was not very apologetic....too bad as I said, I love the beer, not what I'd eat next time......

    The sign says please wait to be seated. We wait. Two or three waitress walk by without acknowledgement. A couple mins later the bartender says we will be with you in a bit. We just stood there, waited, and left. They didn't seem to want to wait on us.

    OK, it's 9PM on a Tuesday night. You and your mate want to get a bite to eat and a pint. Stop at Portway.....now on winter hours..kitchen closes at 9. Sucks, but we still love ya Portway! Maybe it was the glow of the Astoria Column?...maybe it was the toothless strippers at Annie's?...could it have been the suckitude of the LNG supporters?...feral kitty farts from the River-walk?...DUII drama from the courthouse?....pedestrian plowing locals who can't drive?...Who the hell knows, but I really was determined to get a pint and some grub. Suddenly, BOOM!!!! My normally arguing voices in my head screamed out "FORT GEORGE!!" and we were suddenly, amazingly transported to a nice roomy booth with a tres' sexy server named Helen. Her cuteness, quick wit, and samples of beer were appreciated. Divinity Ale was our latest discovery at Ft. George. Very smooth, mild, and flavourful. Not bitter at all. Their fresh iced tea was perfect as well. (Hey, now and then we need non-alcoholic stuff too) I am an iced tea snob, and this passed the test (strong, cold, and well brewed). Hand cut fries with cheese were plentiful and bursting with all sorts of artery clogging magic. Chips & Salsa were warm, crisp, and easily one of the better house-made salsas I have had at a non-Mexican eatery. My mate's hummus platter was very fresh, and large. Perfect flat bread (from Scorcher I am pretty sure). She is a hummus platter snob and said this one is now at the top of her list as the best. Hummus has never done too much for me, so I opted to have my meal be one that would make a vegan wince and scream with every bite I took. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you..... THE HANGER STEAK!! Easily, one of the best steaks that I have had in a long while. Perfectly marinated in their own Cavatica Stout, and grilled to perfection as requested. Tender, juicy, and melted in my mouth. Sweet grilled onions and mushrooms were a nice touch. I have seen the bitchy attitude that many complain about here at Ft. George. I totally agree it is rude, wrong, and uncool. I will state though that our last 2 visits in the restaurant had above and beyond service from Sean and Helen. One was on a crazy Sunday night crowded with free live music and the other was this visit on a slow Tuesday late night, so try to ask for Sean or Helen and see if it is better for ya? This particular Tuesday night was staffed by all gorgeous lasses and we noticed that all of the service was relaxed, mellow, friendly, and attentive.

    I was on painkillers and couldn't have beer, but hubby did and he's a beer snob. :) He loved his beer! Food wise, I had the sausage du jour (they have a portion of the menu dedicated to sausage-yeah!) atop a bed of delish sauerkraut. The garlic red pepper sausage was amazing! My picky preschooler devoured a third of my sausage...definitely a good sign!! Hubby liked his tuna sandwich, but had food envy of my sausage. I wish they offered a salad as a side option with the sausage. Chips and salsa (which I ordered and were good) didn't really go and coleslaw just doesn't do it for me.

    One of my best friends affectionately referred to me as a "Fort George whore" the other day. I guess I had to reflect on what gave him that impression. I still remember when I first met Fort George two years ago. It was the Friday before Halloween and it was dark and stormy night. My boyfriend and I entered the warmly lit bar area and our beer worlds were respectively rocked by a marvelous IPA called Vortex served up casually in a mason jar. We came back an astonishing three more times over the course of that weekend and ended up trying all their beers. Loved everything except the fruit beer Divinity, but we just aren't that into fruit beers, so I won't dock them there. What I love about Fort George beer is they are all well balanced and a little different than the Portland brews. The staff always does a great job and seems to have fun at the same time which will make your visit fun as well. I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Oh yeah, and they throw one hell of a zombie reggae party every Halloween weekend and a few interesting brewers dinners throughout the year including IPAs paired with Indian food. They also have live music every Sunday night. Another reason they get five stars is because their food is delicious. We came back last year for Halloween and discovered their pan seared oysters with the house made tartar sauce. The batter is light and delicate and really shows them off. Some of our other favorites on the menu are the fish and chips and the fish tacos. If you're into sausage they have a good variety. We knew we wouldn't make it for Halloween again this year so our addiction caused us to stop in today. Drunken Pumpkin was on tap and was a nice take on a pumpkin beer (they actually roast pumpkin for it). I had my beloved oysters and we checked out the newish tasting room where we had the Red Tide IRA that packed a nice little punch. Did I mention their seasonals are always a must try? Sweet tasting room in the brewery space where you play cornhole, shuffleboard and foosball among the kettles while sipping your brew of choice. They even do $8 growler fills of select beers. They're practically giving it away. Speaking of giving it away.... Fine, yes I guess I am a Fort George whore! I'll own it! So glad that's off my chest! Now can I have some more beer and oysters please?

    We stopped here while passing through Astoria. Talk about a cool place. We were welcomed with a huge smile and seated right away. . We tried their home made sausages as an appetizer . They were great! For the main course I had fish tacos and my wife had a burrito. Both were fantastic. We also tried one of their seasonal brews with lunch. Their "Pumpkin Smash" was a great brew! All in all the atmosphere, service and food were really good. I highly recommend this place if you are in Astoria. We will definitely be stooping by the next time we pass through!

    I hate to trash a local place, but I was very unimpressed. The beer seemed high pH, so only the dark beers felt good. The Seasonals tasted better. The house-crafted sausage also felt very bland. The location was good and seemed fun, but if the beer and the food don't encourage, the environment isn't sufficient. More detail, I got the sausage sampler platter. My friend got the Oktoberfest sausage special. My sausages were: sweet Italian, spicy Italian, French garlic, and one other...I SHOULD remember it, but since none of the sausages distinguished themselves sufficiently, you might take that as part of the review. I'm not sure, if I was blindfolded, I could easily tell one from another. My platter came with flatbread, which I didn't try and a mustard sauce that was too thin to be REAL mustard. I also shared cheese fries with my friend. The cheese fries were the highlight of the meal, honestly. Tillamook cheddar melted on top was just right. The fries were a little limp, but overall it was pretty good. My friend's meal was a shock from the get-go. You see, it was presented as a Munich-style Oktoberfest sausage on a bun. Well, that implies a sausage link in a stadium-style roll, right? Since I've been to Munich (albeit NOT at Oktoberfest, but still...), I'm somewhat familiar with the food styles. My friend's meal was a sausage BURGER. So, even if the flavor was spot-on, the discontinuity on delivery format ruined the meal. Oh, the sausage wasn't good, either. On to the beer. I ordered the complete taster platter with 12 beers, all of the current offerings. As I began sipping, I noticed the beer had a soapy mouth feel that is typically a result of a high pH water supply. This can be a GOOD thing if you work with it, making styles that benefit from alkalinity, such as stouts and porters. Other beers don't work this way. So, every lighter-style beer, from lager to blonde ales (etc.) felt wrong and tasted flat. The ONE exception to this, likely because I have a very soft-spot for heather ales, was the seasonal heather ale. I will say that the darker beers, including the dark IPA (also known as a cascade black ale), were much better, but then again, that's where alkaline water benefits beer. Oh, BTW, don't sit near the deck door if you're there when a storm is coming in...just sayin'

    Love the ambiance and vibe they've got going on. Obviously a popular place for locals and out-of-towners alike. On my last trip to Astoria, I went in there on a Thursday and Friday night and it was fairly busy both times, though I did find a seat. Fantastic beers both in the pub and in the Lovell taproom across the parking lot. If you want to just "hang out", I suggest the taproom. If you want to have a meal, go to the pub. The rockfish tacos are good although the fish is LOST in the huge mound of black beans and slaw.

    My wife says I could find a brewery anywhere. Anywhere. She says it's kind of like my superpower. She's right, of course. I am BEER MAN. Fort George makes some mighty tasty brews. Their brew pub is pretty nice, too. We sat out on the patio on this beautiful, sunny day. I opted NOT to get the taster tray, only because I was drivin'. I did partake of the Bourbon Barrel Cavatica Stout. It comes in a little snifter, which is fine because it packs a massive flavor punch. My wife went with the Quick Wit. She really loves Belgian whites and she said Quick Wit was one of the best she's had. I'll take her word on that. Very cool brew pub. Awesomely refurbed building with a great view from the patio. I like. We didn't eat here, but we saw some unbelievably gigantic burritos delivered to the table next to us. We'll have to try one next time we're in Astoria.

    Awesome beer selection. I just told these guys my taste buds, and, voila, a mason jar that fit my palate exactly was delivered. Sorry to report that the house made sausage (we tried 2 kinds) was pretty bland. Would recommend the burger instead. Cool place to hang out other wise. Comfy and super tall booths, too.

    On our way to Long Beach, my hubby and I stopped in for lunch. We were super hungry and excited for lunch. We stopped at Fort George. We were seated right away at the bar which is the place to be if you want attention! I ordered the Garlic Sausage w/ coleslaw and my hubby ordered fish tacos. The sausage was ok, not much flavor (until later when I burped garlic for an hour) same with the coleslaw. My hubs said the fish tacos were dry and didn't have a whole lot of flavor either. We really liked the ambiance and staff, but not big fans of the food. Might go back....

    Read a lot of good reviews - thought we would stop in and give it a try. Atmosphere: We went upstairs because the downstairs was very crowded. Found a table and really loved the place. But, then my husband says to me..."why are there so many kids in this bar"? We started to realize that the upstairs was just covered with children. We are not sure, but we got the impression that the upstairs were for families (i.e. they only had pizza and salad to eat upstairs...). Just a tip...stay downstairs... Food: We ordered Chips and Salsa, Caesar Salad, and Pulled Pork Pizza. Chips and Salsa seemed to be store bought - nothing special. The Chips needed salt. Caesar Salad was really bad....don't even know why...really bad dressing....possibly. The Pizza was good - I guess - my husband loved it and I didn't like it at all. It's New York style pizza - which I'm not fond of....so, if you like NY Style, my guess is that you will really like it. Beer: The beer is fantastic! Love the complexity of all the beers. The brewer seems to like to try new and interesting tastes. Really enjoyed sampling all the beers. Stop in and give they a try - you won't be sorry for that! Service: A++++ The service was the best! The server was excellent and she knew everything about all the beers. She explained each one fully and we felt very welcome at the establishment.

    Pretty good not great beer with pretty good burger with awesome cheese served by an inattentive and possibly racist server. Sounds like a 3 star place to me.

    Fort George Brewery is a great place to stop in for a bite to eat and some seriously good mirobrews. I had been there several times for beers but a couple of weeks ago I stopped in with some friends for dinner. It was a very busy night but we were seated fairly quickly. I had ordered the albacore fish and chips and it was way overcooked and the fries were limp. Our server, Kim, was very gracious when I sent it back. More than gracious. Kim had the best attitude of any server I have come across in the last 6 months. She really seemed to love what she does and it showed in the way she treated all of her customers at nearby tables as well. Definitely a great place to stop into when in Astoria!

    After a whole day of crabbing on a boat in the ocean while it rained... we stopped in here for dinner. It was a busy spot but we found a table. Good selection of beers. My wife was very happy. The food was really good which kept me happy. We look forward o returning next time we are in Astoria.

    Awesome food, including a few vegan* options. Their vegan chili is excellent. Other vegan options include falafel (order with no tzatziki, and the flatbread is reportedly not vegan, but they can switch it for a flour tortilla) and the black bean burrito (order with no cheese). Both are very yummy. I don't drink, but my husband enjoyed their beer; he tried the stout and the porter. He prefers stouts, and said theirs is quite delicious and powerful. *When ordering vegan here, make sure to check your food when it arrives. This place is often slammed at dinner time and sometimes the kitchen will accidentally put cheese in a burrito, or the server might forget to make a no-dairy note. They are usually very fast about correcting any errors, though. Optional bonus: Head next door after lunch for a yummy treat at Blue Scorcher Bakery! :)

    We come to Astoria when visiting my mother in-law on the coast...just for Fort George! It's mostly the atmosphere that I like the most, but the food is pretty good too. It's probably got some median pricing...with the dishes being at least $13. Fort George's Albacore Tuna Fish N Chips made me LOVE fish n chips. That sounds crazy, right? I don't eat seafood...and now I can't get enough. Service is quick, seating is limited. We honestly haven't ever really had a problem with that, though as a group of 4 or more usually. Maybe we just go at the right times. The waiters and waitresses are always *extremely* friendly. Very big variety of different dishes. Husband got red chicken curry, MIL got fish tacos, and brother in-law got a cheeseburger. My only beef: We went there this past weekend and I got the fettucine alfredo. Really good, overpriced though. $13 for some noodles and sauce...then I didn't get any chicken with it because they were charging $4 dollars extra for it...a little ridiculous. Also, my in-laws got ginger-ales and they were $4 dollars each. What the heck? They weren't good, either. BUT...that aside, I could eat here all the time if I wanted to. I can't wait to go back again!

    Fort George has become a new standard stop when I'm near Astoria. It's not too pubby and not too fancy, with a cool atmosphere and mixed, happy crowd. It's great if you just want a beer or if you're looking for real food, and I will never get tired of the paintings in the bathrooms. Along with the tasty beer you'd expect, the make a killer wasabi ginger ale. It's not to sweet, not too spicy, and a great option if you need a break from beer. The seared tuna melt and burger get high marks (and they come with fries with the skin on, yum), and the desserts always impress. The key lime pie was... wow. I want it now just thinking about it.

    Just visited this place for the 2nd time while down in OR. Once again it did NOT disappoint! Had the fish and chips along with a sunrise oatmeal pale ale and a vortex IPA. Fantastic!!! The beers here have such amazing flavor. Had to limit myself since I had several hours of driving ahead of me...

  • Stephanie B.

    A must see/eat in Astoria! Awesome spot. Great food (the tuna fish and chips omg melts in your mouth) and great beer (Quick Whit). Staff was really friendly and gave us recommendations of what to do in Astoria. If you're into craft beer and good food (not typical bar food) go here.

  • Kristin R.

    Not gonna lie, unless your a regular here the service is hit or miss. That being said the food is decent. I almost always get the black bean and rice burrito. They have very good clam chowder too. Burgers are OK. Upstairs they have all the wood stove stuff. The pizzas are alright but way overpriced in my opinion. The best thing about Fort George of course is their beer..... yummy yummy beer.

  • Jess K.

    Was SO excited to visit, as I LOVE their beers... but was unimpressed. I'll keep it short and sweet. Love the atmosphere, cool patio, cool stools and neat metalwork everywhere, and fantastic beers [yes yes yes... get the sampler, yum!]. But the food was SAD. My friend and I both got sandwiches... great bread [is local too, and was totally worth my gluten-cheat], but the meat was deli style, the 'blue cheese spread' was gross and flavorless, and I apparently ended up paying a dollar for a single slice of nasty seemingly-microwaved bacon to be added to my sammy. On top of that, the fries were limp and greasy.... ugh. Really? I really expected quality food, and was sadly disappointed. Bottom line..... beer=awesome, food=FAIL. I'll stick to ordering their beers elsewhere, and won't return to the pub. The only reason they get three stars instead of two is because of my deep all-consuming love for their beer (:

    On a recent trip to Astoria, we stopped in at Fort George for beers and dinner. Service was slow, the beers were not the kind we ordered and the food was sub-par (even for pub food). Could have done better things with sixty bucks.

    We ate here about a year ago and it was a great experience. At least 4 stars. Yesterday it was a different story. Went there for lunch on a beautiful day. They now have an outdoor patio. What a plus. But then it goes downhill. The sign says that bratwurst is the sausage of the day! Yea! The only empty table had not been bused so we clean a table and sit down. And wait, and wait, and wait. About 10 min. before anyone shows up. I get frustrated and get up to find a server. As I enter the building a server brushes past me and mumbles something like "I will be out soon". Another 10 min. go by. She comes over to take our order. She seems like this is the last place she wants to be. I ask for the brats. She says they have change the sausage of the day. I ask why because of the sign. She answers that its because the chef felt it was time to change?????? I order the sweet Italian sausage on grilled onions and peppers. My wife gets the clam chowder and salad. Oh and they let dogs at the outdoor patio. I have to say that I love dogs. I don't think that I have ever gone more than a month without a dog since I was 14. That's like over 40 years. But...... Dogs do not belong in a restaurant. There had to be about 8 dogs on that patio. Some well behaved some not. It was like being at a dog park without the pooping. There was a constant din of sit, come back here, oh look how cute he is, Oh look at that, Oh leave him alone. One dog came over and was pushing on my elbow for some food. So its another 20 min wait for food. The server is still surly with us. The food was ok....not great. Had to wait another 15 min after we were done. We could not get the servers attention so we went inside and stood by the register. She finally gave us a bill. Our first experience there was so good but after this one I am not sure we will go back.

    Had a beer sampler and hummus plate. Great variety of tasty beers. The hummus needs some tahini and lemon, although I liked the consistency. If the chef would like I have an awesome recipe. Willing to trade for beer. Very prompt & attentive service. We spend time in Astoria each summer and discovered Ft George last summer. It now a regular stop for us.

  • Ollie S.

    1st of all they will allow you to take your dog to the outside setting area. So if youre walking by with your dog they will allow the dog to join you. We started off with their Beer Sampler since it was our first visit there. Zac, our waiter was very inforamtive of our selections - and I told him to eliminate Ft George's IPAs......and he brought out some doubles after listening to our beer preferences. Some of the beers were instand hits - and some we just didnt like - BUT...we sure liked their Witt beer and their Divinity selections of beer. The Witt took me back to our visit to Belgium. We also ordered their Sausage sampler. Now those - all of them were just darn tastey - and with out beers and the sunshine - we spent an enjoyable time at the Ft George Brewery. Friendly people - good beer and good food. What could be better -oh ....did I mention they have good beer.

  • James H.

    Good beers but didn't care at all for the ginger ale with wasbi. Upstairs sitting area has good views and has a nice open feeling; downstairs was noisy and crowded (small space). Ordered a couple of different of their woodburning pizzas but found them extremely sparse with toppings - especially for the price. Service needs improvement. Our pizza order was screwed up twice and I had to go to the bar to get our check and pay.

    Great beer, great atmosphere, decent food... I wasn't in love with the food, but I loved everything else about this place. I tried the house made sausage, cause you can't find house made sausage on the menu everyday, and was less than thrilled. I thought the flavors were just alright, and the portion size was a bit small for pub fare. My girlfriend had a burger, and said it was just alright. When we are back in Astoria we will definitely be going back to Fort George, but we'll be headed there for the beer and atmosphere not the food.

    Hippies know how to brew beer, that's for sure. However, they don't know how to run a clean establishment. Why in earth's name are there fruit flies flying all around this place in the winter? But goddamn, their beer is good.

    I'm giving five stars for the Fort George Lovell Taproom. This place is great. My wife and I drove into Astoria to see the town and camp for a night. I love trying new and exciting beer so we went to Fort George. I've had their VII out of the bottle and have tried the IPA. Including the collaboration 3-way. All were good. But the Lovell Taproom was epic. Not crowded like the tourist trap Fort George public house. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that place is great too but we wanted to get a beer ASAP and chill. This we accomplished. So my hats off to the Lovell Taproom. Thank you for the hospitality and the far above average beverages. I will most definitely be back on my next trip to Astoria.

    Always a pleasant experience. Has to be hands down my favorite place customer service wise in ALL of Oregon. This place really goes to show how far a sincere smile and look in the eyes can go for a customer. The employees are always happy and willing to show their enthusiasm for the beer/product they're selling. My last visit was my first in the upstairs area. An amazing and roomy atmosphere. Plenty of room to spread out! And their wood fired pizza definitely competes with Double Mountain, which I think is one of the best brewpub/pizzerias in the state. Ft. George may take the cake! Upon moving back downstairs, we were greeted with yet another awesome bartender willing to chat about the beer and make us feel welcome-even being only 20 minutes until closing. While he was wrapping up his closing work, he made damn sure we came first and immediately would stop his work to help us out or chat. Upon leaving, my lady wanted one can of beer to go. This guy gave us EACH a can and said it was on ft. George for our support of their beer at my job at Trader Joe's (which we had discussed earlier). This goes so far. In the same way that we comp flowers for a birthday or a reusable bag for new shoppers at my job, this guy proved our theory at my work of a small investment in patrons that can produce a long term investment from the customer in faith, gratitude, and revenue in years to come. Nice job, Fort George. Always a pleasure being here in Astoria with you!

    This was a great find while on a short trip to Astoria. I enjoyed the view while drinking a Divinity (well a couple). This beer was amazing! I wish I could have brought some back home to texas. The food was great as well. My favorite was the chili. So spicy, but so good! I hope I make it back to astoria one day. Fort George will be my first stop!

  • Baes B.

    The atmosphere at night (9-10 pm) was great. Everyone was really friendly and the place was chill. The portions were great but the food lacked flavor. I got the sweet Italian sausage with peppers and onions. The menu said they make the sausage on location so I decided to go for it. Big mistake! The sausage was absolutely tasteless. The girl got the burrito and said it was alright. The tortilla chips and salsa were the best food we had there.

    In a world of brew pups which tout the latest fad in brewing beer Fort George has made its mark on the Pacific Northwest. This can be noticed by visiting almost any bar in the area and find at least one of Fort George's brews on tap. Fort George Public House is without pretense and at the same time delivers well thought out seasonal brews, inventing a simple yet stylish dining experience and providing an intimate live music venue. I guess I must like it. I recently tried their Spicy Sausage Soup. They earn five stars for that dish alone. Their Tracy Salad again was very tasty. My only exception was the field greens. I have always found field greens difficult to eat. They are way too springy. No matter how tiny I cut them up they still spring off the fork. For this reason alone i would not reorder the Tracy Salad...it was wonderful just too hard to eat. Upstairs is the wood fired pizza oven and their live music venue. This is a well thought out space with an ample bar and large windows providing an excellent view. I will come here again.

  • Jay M.

    No complaints about the service. It and the cider were good. The food was not. I got the Anaheim pepper burger with bacon which is a $13 burger. The server asked me how I'd like it cooked and I said medium rare. What came out of the kitchen was the most pathetically small burger with a tiny overcooked dry patty, one strip of overcooked bacon, and wilted lettuce. It was the worst burger I've ever had and I'm including fast food joints. My girlfriend got the rock fish tacos which were worse than the burger. They were bland, loaded with coleslaw, the fish was charred black and way way over cooked with tiny portions, and I don't think the tortilla's were even warmed up. It was basically a coleslaw taco. I live in Nehalem and I won't be making the drive north to eat at Ft. George brewery again.

    This is the place to go. If you are a resident of Astoria our just passing through, or even coming from a nearby city, definitely a place to get treated right. Great portions, excellent food, and the ipa's need to be tried. Shannon is right there to give you the absolute best service possible. The atmosphere is ridiculously cozy, great relaxing music, not too loud and not offending. I give this place 5 stars because it deserves it and they worked hard to earn it. Please keep up the good work and we await the time when we can come back to visit.

    First, the beer. It is awesome. I've had a few Ft. George varieties back in Portland. But pretty much everything I had here over a three day weekend was excellent, ranging from the cavatica stout to and India golden ale (Optimist) to something slightly funkier made with mangos. Very nice. Second, the atmosphere. Also very good. We hit both the upstairs area (very high ceilings, wide open spaces, expansive views of the river) as well as the outdoor patio downstairs (often community seating). Both were excellent. NOTE: if you're allergic to dogs, the patio area might be a challenge as there were about 4-5 dogs when we were there. Third, the food. Generally decent for pub fare, with some key observations. Upstairs is largely limited to pizza. The flavor of the pizza was very nice. However, the execution was a bit haphazard. Some of our pies came out soaked in grease. This is because when you get a pie with something like salami, they basically cover it with huge slabs of salami. Tastes great, but much MORE filling (and fatty). I had to transfer my pieces from the plate the pie came on to another one covered with napkins. Other pies didn't suffer quite as badly - this is definitely specific to the pie. Downstairs, I had the pepper burger with the habanero sauce, which was suitable hot. Very nice. The fries were also nice, but a bit greasy (overall good IMHO). My father-in-law had the tuna steak sandwich and liked it a lot. Kids have decent options. There is a kids menu downstairs but none upstairs that I saw. NOTE: the mac and cheese is NOT Kraft. This isn't a ding against Ft. George by any means. I personally dislike Kraft. And I found that I really liked the house made mac and cheese here. But our 8 year old firmly believes that anything that doesn't come out of a blue and yellow box is crap. Parents: you have been warned. Lastly, service. Generally pretty good, if a bit laid back. Not quite Eugene laid back, and nothing approaching McMennamin's indifference, but not snap-to attention.

  • Fiona P.

    Now I have to be honest and upfront about one thing: I don't drink beer. So, to me, Fort George is not that impressive. I love they support local and are active in the area, but overall, I find their food unimaginative and pretentious. My husband finds their beer "ok" though grossly over priced. I guess I just don't get all the fanfare. PS Their bakery, Blue Scorcher (Skortcher?) is right next door... Bread is yummy, food is fresh and healthy, but again... The prices are pretty high.

We were filling growlers and he accidentally filled one with the wrong beer and offered to pour it out (and waste beer?? No way!). Of course we took the growler anyways, and he didn't even charge us! He even refused payment. We will definitely be coming back here! Also- the sausage pizza with the sweet peppers is so good!

    When we visited Astoria the pub was actually not open yet, so we opted to go next door to the brewery for the tour. So this review is just for the brewery bar and tour. Do not egg my house. They encourage you to grab a pint before the tour starts, and I would highly recommend this. I was pregnant and had to take the tour sober, which was hell. The actual distance covered by the tour is maybe 100 feet, in a loop around the brewery floor. But the duration of the tour was about an hour and a half. An hour and a HALF. I was ready to kill the home brewer chick who kept asking questions about wort and tank conditioning, preventing us from moving forward. I remind you I was pregnant and standing motionless for an hour WITHOUT a beer. For most of the tour I couldn't even hear the guy, because he's not miked and there was a nice little group between me and him. When we finally sat down for lunch afterwards the food was pretty decent, and my husband tells me the cavatica stout is baller.

  • Chris B.

    OK, the good: the food in the upstairs (the pizza joint) is very good. I had the mac + cheese with a few veggies and it was great. Some of the beers are quite good as well; I had the 1811 lager and it was tasty and light. The bad: the tables upstairs are *ridiculously* wide. You have to shout to be heard; it's like dining at opposite ends of a ping-pong table. The service is hilariously haphazard; as far as I could tell, they don't assign specific servers to specific tables, so you just kind of ask for things and hope that someone eventually brings them. The staff look like a bunch of tattooed Portland hipsters who moved to Astoria (I would know; I'm a tattooed Portland hipster) and were funny and nice; they just kind of blundered around grinning and occasionally remembering to bring things like silverware to the table. I suppose I'd recommend the joint as a kind of food & performance art experience.

    Okay this place is the definition of cool! A two story building with a crazy stellar design! And besides it looking cool the food tastes amazing!

Oh I bought a hat too because it's really that good.

    3.5 stars! Food: 3 stars Service and beer: 4 stars As the bf is a beer lover, we came here for dinner after our visit to Astoria (what a great little coastal town!) The waitress was really helpful and gave him some great tips on beer. I had a few sips of each, just for the fun of it, but beer's not really my thing. It was a stout night, which was good for him! For food, I got the shepard's pie and the bf got the turkey and bacon panini with fries. The pie was pretty disappointing, as it was pretty bland and dry, but the bf enjoyed his beer and the panini. We sat in the bar area and ran into a couple that we saw at the Goonie's House. That was pretty cool. I know it's a small city, but what are the odds?

    One of my favourite breweries, a must stop when travelling down the Oregon coast. If you like Stout definitely try theirs. Food is good I had their Chile Verde Burrito, would get it again. They have a giant Pizza oven upstairs, next time I'll try that

    Food is not good. Ordered Caesar salad. No Caesar dressing! it was a vinegarette with romaine. The waiter was good and offered to swap the salad for something else. Beer...I ordered a lager and got something more like an ale or ipa..very hoppy.

    Growing up in Seaside my roots are on the North Oregon Coast. But I had to move to the big city to finish my education. While I was gone, Astoria sprouted a cultural center. Fort George is an amazing brewer. All of their beers are complex, creative and tasty. Today, I was able to make it up to the brewery for the first time and I felt like I was in Disneyland. Fantastic tour, brews and food. This is the Mecca of the NW coast. If you come here you must go. If you are a beer worshipper then you must make the pilgrimage.

    Amazing from the moment you walk in, you're greeted friendly, accommodated well, even with a one year old (which you don't always find at a brew house). Appetizers and food are both very good! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. They even brought out some avocados for our daughter! Their beer is astounding and many other brewery's around the states could take notes from Fort George! Great service all around! As well as very tasty local offerings on their menu! My husband and I loved our experience here and can't wait to return on our next trip to Astoria!

    We found this place thanks to Yelp and were crazy impressed. The beers are amazing and I highly recommend trying the 12-beer sampler. My pork-filled burrito was the best I've ever had, including all of the taco trucks I frequent (go figure that one). The kids menu was pretty basic but adequate. The two house-made dressings that came with our salads were outstanding. This place redefines what pub food should be...we can't wait to return.

    I never knew that Astoria was so hip and the Fort George Brewery certainly adds to it in downtown! When we walked in and after we got seated I approached a conundrum. I really wanted to try some of their beer but something odd caught my eye. They also has a Wasabi Ginger Ale. Well how can you NOT try something as creative as that? So my solution was to get a beer and the ginger ale! My beer of choice was the Nut Red Ale. The beer was not bad at all! Pretty tasty! Our waiter then gave us a few free samples of some of their other beer, yep that was good too! I am glad I tried the Wasabi Ginger Ale but I am not entirely sure if I liked it. It had an addicting quality to it, that is for sure. The ginger ale was refreshing but as Wasabi is known for has that sneak attack trait to it. Despite this feature the drink was not spicy hot. It was a very unique drink. I might try it again. To eat I had the Anaheim Pepper Burger which was excellent! The burger was nice and big, had a great taste and a wonderful kick to it! The Fort George Brewery was a great experience and I am looking forward to more trips here as well as Astoria!

    Fabulous river view, GREAT service (and we're willing to accommodate me by switching a burger bun for potatoes since I'm allergic to gluten), and good food! I don't drink beer, so I can't review that-sorry. My friend and I will be back to this place again when visiting the area again! We sat at the top level. I guess there's multiple levels that serve different food? I got confused when the guy briefly mentioned it.

  • Nicole S.

    Had a bit of a wait, but was alright. Had lots of cool games for the kids and the husband liked the beer. My only complaint was this. Had the Rock Fish Tacos....if you are going to serve fish tacos, serve them with TWO freaking tortillas each, otherwise all the goopy stuff you put on your delicious taco will just seep through and by the time you get to the other two tacos you now have disintegrated tortillas and a big mess to eat. I've not eaten many fish tacos that weren't served with two tortillas as a base. Easy fix, so do it!

    Ran Hood2Coast and decided to spend the day after recovering in Astoria! Fort George was my go to spot! I love the Tender Loving Empire seasonal beer and I was excited to see the new upstairs. I had heard that the upstairs was cool and the wood fired pizza was delicious. I confirmed that both were true. The new digs upstairs was super cool!! *NOTE: seating is separate from downstairs so go up stairs to be seated. We waited downstairs and later found out that upstairs was open!* The table made from the whole cut out on the floor was really neat. We ordered a pizza and was pleasantly surprised to find out they would do 1/2 and 1/2. We got the margarita and the garlic cheese. Both were delicious! I are the left overs the next day and they were just as good! Excited about the new addition. I will be back soon!!!!

    Great beer - we had the Vortez IPA and the Tripel. My tuna steak sandwich was good (order the side salad to get some greens because it doesn't come with any), and my husband's fish tacos were solid and the requested side of habenero hot sauce made them extra good. Great service and an enjoyable deck area.

    This was he last official stop for my wife and I and decided to give this place a try. Was very surprised by how good their beer is. We are ipa drinkers and the beer was exceptional. We ate the jalapeno poppers and they were awesome. Wish I would of tried some of their fish tacos it seemed like everyone was getting. I'd definitely make another trip down there just for the beer and I can't wait to try the seasonal pumpkin beer.

    Great pub! The food is great and reasonable priced. Beers are delicious and they always have seasonal beer on tap that is creative and fun to sample. Very friendly staff and great ambiance. They even have some games and children's books to bring to your table to help keep your little ones busy.

    My boyfriend and I came into Astoria late. We wanted somewhere local to eat. As our options were beginning to look skim, we stumbled on Fort George. Amazing beer, amazing food, amazing prices. It was just what we had in mind. Both being of the service industry, we tend to be very critical of menu and service. This place impressed us very much.

    If this review were just for the beer it would be five stars. If just for the food service, it would be 0. I've been a fan of Ft. George beers since its Three Way session IPA. At the brewery I tried a few of it's smaller beers: the Rumkin, the Drunkin Pumpkin, and the XVIth Chapel Fresh Hop. All were outstanding. The food menu here is simple: pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and sausage. Still, it took 90 minutes to get a chicken sandwich here, and when it arrived it was over-cooked, dry and flaky. Service took an unpleasant change in tone with the evening shift change. The afternoon bartender was fun and pleasant. The evening bartender avoided eye contact and was brusque when I asked for the check.

  • Trisha A.

    The beer was excellent! The food was not! Terrible fries (how do you screw up fries?), more bread than fillings on the burgers + sandwiches. Meager side salad. Bland dressings and sauces. Come for the beer - eat elsewhere!

  • David G.

    As far as I can tell, this is by far the best place to eat dinner in Astoria when the Drina Daisy is closed. The menu is just what you get in most brew pubs -- hamburgers, sandwiches -- plus some extras such as fish and chips. Most of it is truly good. The hamburgers are delicious. The fish and chips was made with big pieces of quality tuna, but a bit greasy. They brew a number of beers, at least a few of which are especially good, such as the Working Girl Porter which is light enough for my wife and tasty enough for me. They have an outdoor patio which is very pleasant if the weather cooperates. The only negative I can think of is slightly slow service when they are crowded. But you can drink beer while you're waiting, so who cares.

  • Hannah H.

    Went and visited the brewery yesterday for lunch. Luckily the weather was great enough that we were able to enjoy the patio, but had we sat inside the wood benches were gorgeous and looked comfy. The beer and food were tasty, though I'm a big appetizer person and the list seemed to be lacking a bit. Having said that the service was friendly, the food was delicious and the location was perfect. I'll definitely be going back.

    For me, one of the highlights of going to Astoria/ The Coast, is stopping at Fort George. We don't always eat here because I typically have a few other food spots in the area I HAVE to go to when I visit but I ALWAYS make it a point to at least stop for BEER. I do. I brake for beer. They have a large selection of beer. The taster wouldn't be a bad place to start if you have never been here before. That way you get to sample it all, and then get the big girl/boy size once you've decided on your favorites. The people who work here know their beer and they will go over your tasters in detail. It's really like a craft beer 101 class. I love beer talk! On our last trip I got a Fort George trucker hat. I hear if you wear it on Tuesdays you get a dollar off your beer... Just sayin'.

  • Jeff C.

    Worst service ever! Had to walk out after no one would take our order for 30 minutes. I even asked our waitress to come over. She ignored us and went to talk to someone at the bar. I never complain, but this was bad.

    (1)

  • Mike C.

    This was our first time here today. We had found one of their beers, liked it and wanted to see the place. Good choice! They're remodeling a bit, but that was not an issue. We were instantly made to feel at home. Zack, our waiter was friendly, patient, and knowledgable. We had terrific burger and a great stout. Could not have been more pleased with the whole experience. Highly recommend!

  • Jenni D.

    The sampler tray had tons of options, but we weren't super impressed with taste. I have to give the Oatmeal Surprise Pale Ale a good 4.5 stars though, as it was absolutely delightful. The service was great, and the outside patio is perfect on a non-rainy day. They are dog friendly, and have water bowls out on the patio (a huge +!)

  • Neil W.

    A year later and I had to come back. I really love this place. The beer and ciders are excellent. I am a big fan of the Cavatica Stout; it is truly a meal in a glass. I am not a huge IPA fan, but the Vortex is actually good. They play great music. The staff has been nothing but great. They do a really good job with the pub menu. It is great beer drinking food, but there is something for almost any dietary restriction. As long as they keep this up, I will always stop by when I am in the area.

  • Alison S.

    The beer deserves five stars but the food is a three. The homegrown beer is crisp, fresh and done to perfection. We had a variety of appetizers and bowl of oyster chowder. Do NOT get the hummus until the kitchen figures out tahini and salt. It was bland and severely lacking in flavor. The smoked salmon dip was better but could use a little more acid to balance the smoke. The oyster stew was well done but portioned on the skimpy side for $11. We tried five different beers among the table and each was amazing. Go for the beer but not for the food.

    (4)

  • Jen U.

    I really liked their beers, and I'm picky. In particular the Quick Wit and Divinity were favorites. Their homemade sausage platter was the bomb. Yummy Carlton Farms meat with a great homemade mustard. They allowed us to order the pizza from upstairs for our main meal. It was so/so.....decent crust and red sauce, but could have used more flavor / toppings for the price. My son had a kids meal hot dog. Nice to see good meat being used once again, and he enjoyed it with the exception of the terrible greasy fries and weird watery aioli sauce that we ordered on the side. For him to turn down fries because they were just too limp and greasy is unheard of. Overall, we really liked the place, it was good service, and delicious beer. Just a couple of items on the food side that could be improved.

    (4)

  • Aaron S.

    Oh god. This is almost certainly my favorite brewery in the world. Over the course of 2 visits we sampled every beer they had on tap (20-something tastes) and had a few pints of the exceptional ones. Of all those samples, there were maybe 3 that I didn't absolutely love. Those were mostly because I didn't like the style of beer, but those were still well made. As others have said, the food is nothing amazing and it's on the expensive side. But that's ok. There's not a ton of good food in astoria anyway. May as well just get something there to soak up the beer. According to their facebook page, they now have wood-oven pizza which might be a good option. We also picked up some cans of their rye barrel aged cavetica stout to bring home. Those things are absolutely heavenly. Can't wait to get back there soon!

    (5)

  • Emi T.

    Come for the beer, not the food. I thought the food was just OK, nothing to write home about. Had been optimistic about the fish & chips after reading somewhere that they were really good, but I was disappointed, and the clam chowder was basically herb and pepper chowder - those flavors overwhelmed everything. I feel like if you set up shop in a coastal city you should either do these two things right, or not attempt them at all. In the case of a brewery, why bother? But then maybe it's my fault for choosing those items in the first place - could be the rest of their menu is better. All that said, you don't really go to a brewery for the food - and the beer was really good. Next time I'm in town, I'll still definitely come by for the beer, but eat elsewhere.

  • Eric H.

    I stopped in about ten at night. My server was friendly and helpful in choosing from the wide range of beers. As is my habit, I ordered the largest burger on the menu but went with the chips and salsa instead of the usual fries. The burger was good but not close to the biggest I've ever had. I enjoyed the salsa, which had a nice little kick to it. I should have gone with the fries though because I left a little hungry. All in all, a good place to stop (I'll be back!) They take pride in what they do here. Fresh ingredients and of course, excellent beer.

  • Eugene S.

    Great outdoor patio. The hummus plate was very good. The spinach salad and verde burrito was fine. Got the sampler for brew. Most weren't my style but none were bad. I'd recommend splitting it or going with two pints.

    (4)

  • Kay D.

    We tried this place because bowpicker was closed on mlk day and we had tried their vortex IPA at another restaurant. The beer was watery tasting to me. U tried the black IPA which is seasonal and it had a bitter taste, and the nut red ale which was watery. After that the service went to nasty and non existent. I ordered fish and chips but didn't realize if was albacore ( it does state that on the name). It was terrible. Tasted like chicken. The French fries tasted cold and stale. My fiancé got the verde burrito. He said it was salty and served cold. The hot sauce he added he enjoyed. It's homemade. Otherwise that was one of the worse meals we've had.

    (1)

  • Jake Z.

    Giving it 4 stars to do no harm. Food isn't quite there, but the atmosphere and vibe push it up a notch. Nice beer selection. Nice location. Menu is big - but not gastro pub level. I had the fish tacos - okay. Sausage plate - pretty good. Cool spot - probably one of the better places to go have a beer and a bite in Astoria.

  • Ashley C.

    Great experience here in early Sept. The server was super friendly and welcoming. Tho he said they don't normally do that, he brought hubby small samples of several of their beers because he didn't know what to get. Don't remember which two hubs ended up ordering but he liked them both. I had a cider that I think they make, it was great. We also had two of their appetizers, both were good. We'd go there again for the friendly service alone. Go upstairs for the view.

  • Curtis C.

    So, we went again with some friends who were visiting because we knew we could get some quick, hopefully better than last time, food, and some beer. The food was a little better this time, focus on the word little.... My burger was delicious, not cooked as I requested, but not overcooked to the point of sending it back. Fries are good, but their oil temp/quality is off, they were super inconsistent depending on the size of the fry. Everyone else got fish and chips, and while the flavors were there, they were way over cooked. The fish was not flaking, it was shredding, like over cooked chicken. If they just put a bit more effort into their food, this place could be stellar. The location is prime, the beer is great, but the food is just so-so. Step it up Fort George!

    (3)

  • Ben P.

    The Fort is just what Astoria needed. Only ~5 years old and they have already taken over the whole block and have their beer distributed all over the NW. This is a testament to to the quality of their beer and the public house experience. With the addition of the tap room the Fort George has gone from 4 to 5 stars in my book. All summer they are open Wed.-Sun. and the level of customer service over there is off the hook. Excellent food specials and many beers you will not find at the pub.

  • Kevin S.

    As a general rule, breweries tend to have the best food in most cities I have visited. The food here at Fort George Brewery was okay, but nothing to write home about. Someone recommended the fish tacos, so went with it. If there was fish in them, I couldn't taste it. They pretty much tasted like black beans and cabbage in a toasted flour tortilla. They were okay - I ate them, but not fantastic. My wife had the steak burrito. The menu said it had avocado, but she had a hard time finding any in her burrito. She also said it was too spicy for her taste. The menu also said it had sour cream, but it was a very small dribble across the top of the burrito - not enough to put out the fire in her mouth. Kids ate their cheeseburgers, but said they didn't want to go back there. Noise level was so high it was near-impossible to have a conversation across the table. "WHAT KIND OF BEER DO YOU WANT?" "WHAAAAAT?" "I SAID, WHAT KIND OF BEER DO YOU WANT?" "YOU BIND A DEER IN A KNOT?" The beer was okay. They recommended the Oatmeal Pale Ale (OPA) as the waiter's favorite. Luckily, my dad had been there waiting for us and already had one, and he warned us it wasn't very good. I got a sampler of all their beers. I'm glad I DIDN'T get the OPA. Holy Hops Batman. I don't think I've EVER had a beer with hops THAT strong before. I did like the 1811 Bicentennial Lager, the red, and the bourbon barrel cavatica stout. Service was okay. Prices were okay. Food was okay. Not great, just okay.

    Such a rad brewery! One of my all time favorite Oregon breweries ever! I love everything about it! From the beautiful calk art for the beer list, to the amazing black IPA, and the awesome house made sausages! Astoria alone is a cool town to visit and explore and then to have such a rad brewery and great beer to finish is perfect!

    Tasty food at a reasonable price. We ordered the Albacore Tuna Steak Melt and the Chicken Bacon Bleu Melt and they were both delicious. I highly recommend getting a ranch dipping sauce to go with the fries. Not a beer drinker myself but my lunch date had the Wandering Aengus Anthem Cider and found it quite enjoyable and corrected me by saying it's not beer. :)

    after being completely ignored at rogue brewery (seriously, walked in, stood, sat down for five minutes--zip), we internet'ed another brewery in the area and found ourselves at fort george. first off, we were greeted, so already doing better. then we got seated downstairs at the table with the scrabble board, and it was all good from there. my burrito was surprisingly good; like, seriously surprising. i wasn't expecting an awesome, giant burrito from a brewery. the boyfriend liked his fish and chips and beer, and he ended the scrabble game while i was ahead, so all in all, an excellent evening.

    We only wanted to stop by to try out the beer since we were planning to get fish and chips at Bowpicker but they were closed. Since we were only driving by Astoria we decided to stop in and get food here as well. We ordered their fish and chips as well as their housemade hot and spicy italian sausage. We were pleasantly surprised by their fish and chips which were pretty fresh and homemade (not like the frozen kind that you can get at some places). The italian sausage was decent. I was pretty disappointed with their Wasabi Ginger Ale. I wanted to try it out and it wasn't what I thought it would taste like. It fell flat for me. My husband liked their beer. Overall, this was a decent stop while in town. They have good food and good beer.

    (3)

  • Jen L.

    We came for a burger and beer, and they didn't disappoint! Arrived at the perfect time and beat the rush. I would have loved some live music. I liked the variety of sizes of the beers. I recommend the anaheim pepper burger or a cheese burger with bacon!

  • Ashley M.

    We were in Astoria for one night, staying at The Commodore. We went here because it was the closest place that was serving dinner late. It was quiet that night and we sat at the bar. It was mostly locals there that night, but the bartenders were warm to us and helpful. I had the Divinity ale and BF had the Vortex IPA. Those are the only brews we tried because they were awesome and we were tired and just wanted to camp out for awhile. For food I got the rock fish tacos (yum) and our bartender offered me their house hot sauce, which was hella spicy and delicious. BF got a burrito or a burger I think, whatever it was he was pleased. We stayed until we were good and toasty and had a great time. This is definitely a spot we will hit next time we are in Astoria. Cool (very large) patio outside too.

  • Kim K.

    I was hesitant to come here because the reviews said the service was lacking and the crowds were awful. Well we ended up here for lunch on a Monday afternoon and it was empty, thankfully. The service still left something to be desired but it seemed like there were only 1-2 people working at the time. No biggie. For drinks we got the beer sampler which was awesome. 10 samples of all house made beers for around $10, well worth it! For an appetizer we got the house made sausage platter which was very good. The sausages could have been spiced/seasoned more but they were very tasty. For lunch I got the eggplant marinara sandwich which was full of yummy eggplant, ricotta, and sauce. Very good! The best part of our trip here was our table with a built in Scrabble board. So much fun! We weren't able to catch a brewery tour but we were able to poke around the back for a few minutes near the fermentation tanks.

  • Katy H.

    Best batter EVER! I came here with friends (I'm actually sitting here at the brewery as I type this) and we had a great lunch. Astoria is a cute town and the decor of this brewery is so welcoming and cute! Nice tall windows, big clean booths and tables made with (what I'm assuming is local) lumber. The building the brewery is housed in has been here in Astoria since 1811 making this town the oldest settlement West of the Rockies. There's lot of history here and the brewery has old photos and plaques out so people can read about the town. I heard that the oysters were a must eat so I tried a shooter and the cooked oysters too. Both were amazing! The batter on the oysters and the fish is so light and fluffy. Really some of the best I've had! Not my favorite french fries but everything else is so good that the fries are just filler anyway. If I'm back in Astoria anytime soon, this is a place I'll have to pop in and re-visit.

    (4)

  • Misty B.

    Meh. I'm surprised two of my friends recommended this place. The beers were alright but the food was a huge disappointment. I got a panini that came with applewood smoked bacon in it, but the bacon was flabby and stringy. I took it out of the sandwich. The sandwich itself wasn't very good, however the bread, made at the bakery next door, was really good. I took the turkey and bacon out of it and just ate the bread. The fries were limp and soggy. My husband hated the fish and chips, which are made with albacore tuna. I don't think albacore tuna should be used for fish and chips. Kinda weird. He said it was more like eating beer battered chunks of chicken. I got a weird vibe from the place, like we were invading local territory or something. The mason jar they serve their drinks in was chipped and cut my husband's lip. He was cool about it and politely told the server they might not want to use it as a drinking glass anymore and she was kind of bitchy about it. I feel like she thought we were just trying to get a free drink out of it... She said with kind of an attitude "You want me to comp your beer or something?" Then another server acted like we took a knife and banged on the jar on purpose to chip it. Anyway, I don't recommend it, unless you're only there for the beer. Just make sure your mason jar isn't chipped.

    (2)

  • Joe D.

    Let's start with the beer. No question a 5 star. Huge variety with a ton of flavor. You have to get the sample tray. The waiter had by far more knowledge about the beer then any other I have ever had anywhere. He spent five minutes going over the sample tray varieties. Good job guys! I had the tuna and chips which was pretty decent. My wife had the fish tacos. They were very dry. The tortilla was cardboard dry. This is why it wasn't rated a 5 star. I sure wanted to give it a overall 5 star for the great beer. I will return!

    We went to Fort George on a fantastic summer/fall weekend and this brewery was the weak link in our tour of Awesome! I think its a weak 3 star but I will give it the benefit of the doubt. My girlfriend and I sampled a lot of the beers. The Vortex IPA and Cavatica Stout were the only two that could hold their ground when compared to the other beers in the town, let alone the region. We only visited the upstairs, which was a fantastic venue. It was a great space with a really nice atmosphere. The food menu is pretty limited upstairs. Its basically salads with a few apps and pizza. All of it looks great, but if pizza isn't your thing you might be disappointed. In summary, it is a great building and location, the beer gets a *meh*, food gets a TBD but the service was great.

  • Kelly K.

    Unfortunately, living on the East Coast does have its downsides....like not being able to eat at Ft. George whenever I feel the need for a crisp, hoppy IPA and delicious food. My parents are practically regulars here, and I would be too if I didn't get back to Oregon only twice per year. But those twice-a-year visits always include a trip to Ft. George! It's located in a remodeled funky old building (used to be a body shop from the 1920's). It's bright and open with many windows and great views. There's seating at the bar, a few booths and high-tops, and if you're lucky enough to come by on a warm dry day, there are tables outside. The staff is friendly, a little quirky, but very proud and knowledgeable of their beer - they definitely add to the cool flavor of the place. There is also live music Sunday nights - it can get crowded so arrive early or be prepared to sit with other couples and make friends. I've tried to sample the menu, but the past few times I find myself craving the Albacore Fish & Chips weeks in advance and just can't make myself order anything else. I have to take bites from my parents plates in order to try their other delicious concoctions - the fish tacos are pretty good, the burgers are better. The falafel is a deliciously different direction to go, and the sausage platter got the approval of my Italian boyfriend. I do always make sure to start off with a Willapa Bay Oyster Shooter or two to compliment my first few sips of the infamous Vortex IPA. I consider myself a beer snob and the Vortex is definitely one of my top 5 favorite IPAs. Served in a mason jar, sipped outside on a warm summer day and looking out at the funky town of Astoria with a backdrop of the Columbia River makes for a pretty good beer drinking scene - but they are also sold in cans! And (perhaps illegally smuggled back to New York in a suitcase) taste just as good in the comfort of your own home. The Cavatica Stout also travels well. I'm not sure you could really go wrong with any of their beer - I recommend trying the sampler flight to get a little taste of everything. Only a few more months and I will be back! The anticipation....

  • Kimberly H.

    Stopped in Astoria on a Sunday night and feared everything would be closed. Not so due to Fort George Brewery. Live music, packed house until 1030-11. We got a beer flight of their entire collection (16 beers) for $16 w a detailed explanation of each one, pizza, and a salad while listening to this talented piano and guitar band. Great view overlooking the city.

    The Ft. George is an Astoria local legend for great beer despite the fact it is fairly new to the area. I love their German potato salad on a rainy day. I love that they mix the greasy spoon classics with new twists and amazing and I mean AH-mazing breads from the Blue Scorcher next door. My one and only complaint was the booths. They're a little uncomfortable, but the beer is great (confidential to stout lovers: try the Cavatica stout! It's epic!).

    These beers were delicious! My boyfriend and I came to the American Northwest to get away from hot and humid Houston. On this trip we wanted to try local beers and wines; the Fort George Brewery and Public House was a very relaxing joint with great drinks and food. If driving through Astoria, OR then you must make a pit stop here to grab a pint and relax!

    WE loved this brewery and especially loved the brewery tour at 4 PM. I think they do tours at 1 and 4 on the weekends and it was a very cool tour. This is a somewhat small brewery that is doing an amazing job and we saw their beers all over Oregon. One of the brewers gave the tour and he was very nice and informative. The tour was free and there was a super cozy little tasting room to hang out in afterwards where you could have a beer and buy some to go if you wanted to. There is a bigger bar and restaurant across the parking lot, but we prefered the small bar attached to the brewery.

    This is always a stop on the way out to the coast. I'm fond of the burgers there. Always done correctly. Good tasting beers. And let's not forget the Wasabi Ginger Ale. As of our most recent visit they appeared to have opened up and upstairs area and are now serving pizza. Something else to try next time we're out there.

  • Libby W.

    After a rainy cold day in Astoria we decided to warm up with some beer and grab some food. This place has a certain charm to it. For being so far north I was surprised that they serve their beer in Mason Jar glasses. The beer was good, and we had a few more rounds. I ordered the fish tacos and my partner ordered sausage. Both were a delight. The fish taco was grilled and the fish was diced up and laid out evenly on the taco. the accompanying ingredients were also diced up and mixed well. With every bite you got a taste of all the ingredients. The service was a little slow, but darling. It was slow in the way you would consider bad slow service, just in the way person moves. You get a sense here that Astoria is a welcomed slower pace away from the hustle and bustle of a busier Portland.

    We walked in and the music was so loud, we couldn't stand to be there- we walked out. It was crowded and further noisy. It was so loud we could hear it blocks away. I do love live music, but I still want to hear it in another 50 years... 3 stars based on appearance and other reviews. I wish I could give 5 stars but I couldn't stand to be there any further.

    Great brewery in the middle of downtown Astoria. All the beer was fantastic but warning their sampler tray is $17.25! You get 12 2 1/2 ounce samples so there is a lot but still cheaper to have 3 pints which I'd recommend. Their growlers are reasonably priced though. Overall good experience and will be back next time I'm in Astoria.

  • Erin H.

    Thank God for Yelpers. I went into this place expecting half-assed service but decent food, and I wasn't disappointed. But what I have to ask is this: What is it about "hip and trendy" people/places and bad service? It's like to run a hip establishment you have completely ignore customers and act, like, you could take 'em or leave 'em. This is why I avoid hipsters and their rude establishments. At any rate, despite our waitress' apathy towards our presence, we navigated the menu and selected the beef and cheese burrito and some turkey sandwich with all sorts of fancy stuff. The burrito: yummy! A bit spicy for me, but hey--I'm a wimp. Not being much of a burrito person, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to consume the notoriously large beast. No problem, as the thing was half the size of a Muchas Gracias burrito--and double the price! At $10.50, I expected something a bit bigger. It could be due to some ingredients being OUTSIDE the burrito--the cabbage, for instance, was all over the plate and a pathetic amount of sour cream was on top. The sandwich, despite being tasty, was made with chewed-and-glued meat. Not so good for a restaurant that proclaimed to use local and fresh ingredients as much as possible. I wasn't aware Oscar Mayer had a factory in town. This joint is really 2.5 stars, but they get an extra half for being in a really cool old building and having a neat atmosphere.

    What a cool place to grab a mirco beer. Stopped by while shopping in Astoria. I got the Oatmeal Pale Ale and I got a sample of the Milk Stout. The stout was average but the oatmeal pale ale was exceptional. It had a nice hoppy balance and was an easy beer for drinking. My sister got the Red Nut Ale and it was a nice red ale, also great for easy drinking. A must for all passing though Astoria.

    Stopped by to enjoy a brew and a plate of fries while checking out the little town of Astoria. The beer selection of their locally brewed masterpieces is great, and they have a delightful sampler of their regular and seasonal beers (12 tasters in all for like $13). The fries were delicious, the staff was very friendly and attentive and the ambiance was very nice, low key and comfortable. If you are into fruit infused beers, try the divinity, it isn't just a clever name, its divine!

    This is just a cool, delicious place. The beer was wonderful and served just right. The inside is warehouse cool with big open spaces and high ceilings. The decor couldn't be more interesting and fun. The great part is that the food is simply delicious. We had the sausage sampler which was unreal. The sausage are made in house and they nail it. We also loved the clam chowder. I could taste the freshness of the ingredients. Yup, I'm a fan. This was a great lunch. Too bad about dinner at the Bridgewater Bistro.

    Beer gets a 5, easily said. Fort George you sure make a great product, if you are lucky enough to let me host you a meal at my place chances are high there will be served a can or two of Vortex IPA from our fridge or the Cavitia Stout, it is the champagne of beers to my tasting palate and we value its frothy goodness, its available for purchase in some Vancouver and Portland stores, or bring in the growler and top that off. 3 stars in total today because the food service was not what it could of been. Your beer is fantastic so when we took the trip to Astoria for the day and Fort Gorge brewery was on our list of places we were excited, but wound up a bit shaken at the server, the personal hype wasn't adding up. I don't need my hair brushed by our servers but the 'I turn tables, your just an other tip attitude was not helping.' this gal ruined it, the food would of been okay because sometimes pub grub is just that, something to fill your stomachs but we left unhappy with our servers service. Our food order : I personally ordered the hummus plate and the chips and salsa... my other friends ordered other things. after two tries for decent chips to scoop salsa we hand a basket full of flakes and crumbs with 3 or 4 survivers, we were not quite sure if that was what you guys used to do a crumb coating with and our server had just mixed up the baskets... I know its just trivial, its chips.. but it is so simple that it left the impression I have. The salsa was nothing, it needs work. The hummus I didn't expect much to begin with but an 8$+ charge for a hummus plate its steep considering you are not a Lebanese restaurant and it is not your specialty. Everyone else I was with was not happy with their meals, we left hungry. Surely we will be back, we love the beer, hopefully at that time I will have an different opinion of the service. and YES I understand service is totally server dependent.

    Amazing beer selection, which make me and my hubby want to drive 3hrs just to go to Ft.George. All of their beer were mind-blowing! My husband specially loved the Stout aged in Maker's Mark barrel - sorry forgot the name of it. He ended up filling his growler with it :) And I loved their Vortex IPA. Food was good too. I had a pan-seared oysters for dinner and it came with cole slaw that was delicious. They are pet friendly, and we were happy to be able to hang out on the patio with our pooch.

    Lunch time seems to be the right time to stop by the Fort George Brewery and see what they're all about. Get their sampler (ten beers for ten bucks) and pair it up with some house-made sausage or a sandwich. The beers are all drinkable, and varied in their complexion, and I mused over them while playing Scrabble at the built-in board at our table. In between sips, bites or the placement of letters, I would peer into the back, where the entire small brewing operation is set up. If you have any questions about what they brew or how much they brew, ask the bartenders or waitstaff. Everyone seemed very knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. Overall, big fan of their beer, and their do-it-yourself-from-your-seat tour.

  • Jen K.

    This place so easily falls into my love category. Love the wholesome, tasty menu of mainly 'made from scratch' items. Love the unfiltered-style beer brewed by 'Sweet Virginia'. Love sipping said beer from a Mason jar. Love that they offer live music on Sundays and parking lot BBQs in the summer. Love that it is slightly removed from downtown so it feels like a local joint. Love the industrial, yet earthy decor. Love that the Blue Scorcher bakery next door provides buns for the sandwiches and burgers. Love that kids meals come with apple and carrot slices instead of fries. Love, love, love the warm German potato salad that my husband said "tastes like Europe". The only thing I didn't fully embrace was the slow-ish service. The server was excellent and drinks came quickly, but it is the kind of place that takes its time preparing the food.

    I enjoyed my experience at Fort George immensely. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. I enjoyed the list of beers they had on tap because it was art done (in chalk I think). I also have to say that their bathrooms are awesome. I won't say anything more than that though... My boyfriend is the beer-drinker and he really enjoyed the beers he tried- Vortex IPA, Nut Red Ale, Sunrise Oatmeal Pale Ale, and a raspberry beer. His favorite by far was the Nut Red. I tried their Wasabi Ginger Ale. Both of us liked it so much we had to take some home with us. There is something about the flavor of that drink. It is perfectly spiced. Our food was great. My guy's burger was cooked perfectly and he made a comment about how awesome the coleslaw was. My tuna melt was incredible. The tuna steak was huge and perfectly cooked on the sandwich. The fries were also very good. They were seasoned well and were not salty. I really liked that they used the burger buns from Blue Scorcher. I love places that buy from local vendors! The service was good. Our server was prompt and helpful with suggestions. She also was happy to get our Wasabi Ginger Ale in a gigantic jar so we could take it home. When we go back to Astoria, I'm sure we'll be stopping in again!

    I was looking for a place to eat lunch while stopping in Astoria on my way to Cannon Beach and happened on this place by accident. I am so happy I decided to give it a try! The best thing about the place: the ridiculously amazing beer, of course! They had a wide selection of regular brews as well as seasonal specials. Once I tried the double IPA Roses on Roses I was sold on the place. I didn't even care about my delicious albacore fish and chips because I was so focused on the complex, interesting flavor of my beer. I was impressed enough that I took a bottle to go.

  • Caitlin C.

    Have been thinking about trying this place on the last few times through Astoria, but it's always so crowded on weekends that I waited until a spur of the moment Tuesday night trip. The beer was good, I thought. The patio seating is nice, and the waitress was attentive. Unfortunately, the food just was not very good. We had the pan seared oysters, which were overly fishy, and served on a salad that didn't come with any dressing, and the sausage platter. The spicy sausage had no discernible spice, and the mustard it came with was just... weird. I like fancy mustards with seeds and stuff - preferably spicy. This didn't really taste like mustard. Or much of anything. We saved the last sausage for the dog. I'd have a beer there again, but not dinner.

  • Paige K.

    OK...so I LOVE Ft George beers and the fun events they have. But, I am so so tired of going there and being treated poorly by the staff! I don't really understand what the issue is here. Some of them are super awesome...and others, wow it just blows my mind how rude they can be. I am a local and frequent the fort. I bring my family, friends...fully support them, am always friendly with the staff. We always have a good time together and are social and nice to whoever our waitor is. Like I said, it really depends on who you get. I mean, if we were tourists just passing through to check the place out and were treated so poorly...I'd probably never come back. Last night we waited 20 mintues just to have someone approach our table! She was actually cleaning a nearby table and noticed us all staring at her. We then waited another 25 minutes just to get our drinks....and they only brought 2 of 4. She said the taps blew and they had to retap a new keg, which I understand...I've worked as a bartender at a pub before. But it doesn't take 25 minutes to remedy that situation or bring us our other drinks and let us know what's going on! They were busy....but I have seen them much busier. Who knows who our actual waitor was...I never figured that out. The guy who I think was our waitor just kept glancing over at us, while he served a table who arrived after us their drinks! I'm really not one to complain, or write a review like this. I usually seek out the positive and give people another chance. But, negative things have happened so many times now...I am just frustrated. I see so many good reviews, but it seems like they are all from out of towners. So maybe, they just treat tourists well and not locals? Who knows. I love the owner. He is a great guy. I really hope they can get their act together. Like I said, some of them are great...but not most of them. Astoria should be full of friendly, down to earth people...really disappointed it didn't work out that way at Fort George.

  • Jocy S.

    to start the beer is amazing. However the food is mediocre, SO not memorable (which is highly disappointing for a brewery)! But even worse is the service. I have never had worse service. First off the server you think you have at first is really awful. But then later on you realize that that server never comes back. Then you get another server, and then another. and then you realize that you dont have any server you just need to call over whomever walks over. its pretty ridiculous. and im not one to write a bad review from one experience. Ive been there many times and this is how it always is.

  • Windy S.

    Did the Beer taster and was impressed with how many of the beers I liked. All the lighter beers were really good (Quick Wit, Divinity). The Vortex was good and potent (+7% My favorites: Sunrise Oatmeal Pale, Working Girl Porter. They also had Russian River and Oakshire on the Guest Taps. Food was okay. I guess I was supposed to try the fries, next time. They also have really cool growlers!

  • Easy C.

    Awesome Awesome. Remember, this is a chill down to earth brewery with a restaurant/pub. The locals have really embraced this place and share it with our welcomed tourist visiters. The food is solid with a nice selection of vegetarian fare especially for a pub menue. This place is family friendly as well. To me the real treat are some of the special events such as the Dark Arts Festival, which is coming up February 16, and is a brewers celebration of porters, stouts, and creative dark beers. The even is great but the special beers are served all month. Also, for those of you looking to fill a Thursday evening head to the Tap Room in the brewery building next door. This is a cozy little pub space with fireplace, special beers only served at the Tap Room, and the now famous Marthacho (nochos made by the fun loving and the lovely Martha). You see an encredible set of horned rimmed glasses you know you arein the right place. Oh! The 5 o'clock steam whistle just blew at Ft G gotta go!

    5 stars for beer alone! I came here on a Tuesday night with a friend and we got a flight of their current taps and were delighted with the results. Variety in technique and flavor is huge here. It is a brewpubber's dream here as far as craft brew goes. Foodwise we both ordered what I believe was called the Anahiem Burger, me with meat and his with a veggie patty. We both added avocado and bacon (which I highly reccomend doing) an were thrilled with our burgers. The fries were mediocre at best, as squishy oily unsalted potato strips are not my style... Overall though I was happy with the meal because the burger was more than enough to satisfy me. Our waitress was okay, not over the top amazing, but attentive enough that she deffinately deserved her 20% tip, we were very impressed by her explanations of all the beer samples on the flight. An amazing pub, go there. Do it.

    The selection of beers, from a tasting standpoint, is phenomenal. I split a taster tray with my girlfriend and we had at least 12 different brews to choose from. The staff was really cool and jumped at every opportunity to inform you about each beer and it's intricacies. I hear that the food is pretty good here and that the public house is bumpin' during the summer. This is definitely a brewery that I will not hesitate to come back to in the distant future. Oh yeah, get the Vortex IPA. It will blow your mind!!!

    Um..must have the sausage sampler..mustard is alright.. salmon spread is also tasty as well as the organic hand cut fries.. but the beer is a must try the vortex ipa and the quick tip wheat beer are delish!! But its all about the Divinity!! a light wheat beer... And love that they are in mason jars:-)

  • Autumn J.

    The beer was great, service was awesome and Crab Cake Salad hit the spot! We tried the Sampler to find out which beer we liked. My husband and I have different tastes for beer so sometimes it's hard for us to decide on one, but this time we actually both pointed to the same one at the same time the CoHopperative. I think that the Quick Wit is officially my favorite Belgium, coriander and orange and not too sweet like the others. My husband loved their porter, I wasn't really in the mood to appreciate it and at the time thought that the coffee flavor was a little strong. The stout was quite filling and full of flavor, and their seasonal-Drunken Pumpkin was one of the best pumpkin brews I've had. We took home and growler of the CoHopperative and I'm enjoying a glass right now as I right this mmm.......

    Great beer! Live music when we were there. The food was good. The service was good. The vibe was very Portland cool. I don't know what to think about this new Portland influx into Astoria (ambivalent I guess), but we had a really great night here, shared a table and conversation with some locals, and damn they make good beer.

  • Leah N.

    I was wavering between 3 and 4 stars, but I decided the fabulous tuna sandwich I ordered was deserving of the star round up. I was expecting a typical tuna melt, with tuna salad in heavy mayonnaise (nothing wrong with that) but I was surprised to receive a sandwich with a huge tuna steak that was cooked to perfection! Plus it was on amazing bread from the bakery next door. The fries and tarter sauce were also yummy, and so were the chips and salsa we ordered. My husband didn't love his burger, he said the beef tasted cheap, but he's kind of a meat snob. I didn't fall in love with the beer, I tried an IPA and a stout, and neither of them lived up to the strong robust beers that Portland has to offer. I guess I'm just kind of a beer snob. The atmosphere was fun, and I liked our roomy wooden booth. There were board games stashed in one corner, which could make for a fun evening with the right crowd.

    So we duck in here on a cold, sideways-rainy Sunday to see a bunch of dudes eating at the bar. One such dude turns around momentarily to say, "Hi folks, we don't open for 12 more minutes." OK...so...maybe keep your front door locked until you open? Or better yet, offer us a table where we can sit and dry out for 12 minutes...which you had ample opportunity to do, as the wife asked the confirming question "You're closed?" which you curtly answered "We're closed." This place may have great food and beer but I'll never bother to find out...you had your shot and blew it.

    I had a wonderfully fresh spinach, chevre, walnut, pear and roma tomato salad with a deliciously seasoned chicken breast. Husband had a burger with hand cut fries. He thought the burger was tasty but was disappointed that one piece of added bacon cost $1. The outside seating is beautiful but can be very windy. As for the beer, it was excellent. I had a porter which was surprisingly light though flush with coffee flavor and my husband had the Three Way IPA. Excellent hoppiness and smooth taste. A bit sweet. We will be back.

    Took a day trip to Astoria and this seemed like the best choice in town. It went with one of our themes on our road trip which was micro breweries. I didn't feel like drinking so I opted for the wasabi ginger ale. I'm honestly not the biggest ginger ale fan, I am an old fashioned Coca-Cola girl, but this ginger ale was fantastic. I guess it's made in house and it was surprising nice and fruity with a little bit of spice. I wanted to take a gallon of it home. The food was ok. I had the fish tacos. The fish seemed fresh, but it was chopped in such small pieces that I could barely taste it and they didn't give very much fish. It kind of got lost in all of the other fixings.

    Yuck! I don't know how this place has 4 stars. It was crowed, loud and confusing. We still don't know why there are different menus between upstairs and downstairs. We ate downstairs. The good stuff is : the white bean and sausage soup had really good flavor but I think they used day old, kind of dried out or over cooked sausage and it was served luke warm. The waitress was pretty good, over-worked but she was okay. Now about those fish and chips.... The batter was so thick like it was deep fried crispy fried chicken. Once i actually found the fish it was way too dried out and bland. I had to use a steak knife and fork to cut it into chewable pieces. The burgers were okay but my husband's burger was burned. Our meals were served with fries, however, most of the fries were over fried and not editable. I really wish we had not wasted our time, money or appetites there.

    What is it about this place? Service borders on hostile.. Sorry you have to wait on me.. Let me take my own order.. Please....I don't want to bother you. The beer.. It's ok. There are better brewers around. The food... Soggy, greasy, cold fries, over-priced food, concrete hard bread on the panini sandwiches. The bacon on sandwiches half raw...and the noise. The music is so loud you can't hear across the table; not conducive to conversations. So what am I not getting that everyone else "gets"? I need enlightened because I'm saying " the emperor has no clothes" ...

    Ft. George offers a reliably great (although fairly meat-centric) meal and really tasty beer. In fact, their tomato soup with blue cheese and smoky bacon on Mondays is so delicious I once drove from Portland to Astoria to have dinner there and then went and watched the sunset at the Peter Iredale wreck after. (True story.) Their house-made sausages are tasty, their soups are always good, the beer is excellent, the atmosphere is pretty great, too, with large booths for groups. This place gets a solid 4 for food - but the wait really drags down the rating here. I don't know why, but it always takes a very, very long time to get anything here. I've been multiple times on different days of the week and with different size groups - and you have to plan on everything here taking twice as long as it should. The servers are super nice, no complaints there, but do NOT plan on stopping here for a quick bite - you need to have some serious time to sit and enjoy a meal at Ft. George. Luckily, in my experience, it's been worth the wait. As a non-seafood-eater I have to say, it may even be one of the best meals in Astoria! (Really, I say that hating seafood.)

  • Cameron M.

    Dudes. This place is epic. They keep expanding, and getting better. The menu is extensive now too. I usually get the Anaheim Pepper buger. I ordered it tonight, with bacon, but she missed that. The clam chowder was OK. It may have had clams. No good sized chunks. I'm a pro eater though, so I'm picky. There was live music, being that it was a Sunday night, so that made up for it all. The beer is top notch! Best place in Astoria, OR.

    A must-visit for any brew-pub enthusiast or beer connoisseur. Also, anyone who likes good food and beer. This was the first stop for my weekend visit to Astoria. I'd heard the hype and was told I needed to visit. I'm glad I did. I had their Working Girl Porter, which is as thick and rich as a stout, but smooth and goes down easy. It has delicious chocolate and coffee flavors. I can't wait to taste another. I also had some beer cheese soup, and a delicious burger. The food is every bit as much a draw as the beer, but I imagine most folks will go for the beer. And they won't be disappointed.

    Disappointing to say the least. My husband and I arrived in Astoria for an anniversary weekend celebration. We arrived into town in the late evening of so only had a couple of options so we decided to try Fort George. We were sure to ask when we came in if they were still serving dinner, having been in the service industry I'm sensitive to keeping people after closing. It was about 10pm and they told us they close at 12:00. Perfect! So we thought. They had a few other customers but it was not busy by any means. Our drink orders were wrong, our food was served wrong, and the part that really chaps my hide is the service was terrible. There was zero interest paid by anyone working there wether or not we had a good experience. My fries tasted like they were made yesterday. My sausage was over cooked, dry, lacked flavor. I am compassionate and understand when a restaurant is trying but no one was trying this night. If the restaurant manager is interested we dined on 9/20/13.

    I'm not a beer-drinker. I came here with my family while on vacation. It took awhile to get in, a good 15 minutes or so, but we were offered beer during the wait. The menu is standard pub fare - burgers, tacos, sandwiches, etc. I ordered a regular hamburger and was very pleased with the taste. The ambiance is VERY loud. My only complaint is I wish they had better drink options for non-beer drinkers. I usually look for craft root beer at breweries and was disappointed when they only had fountain drinks. Also, it was a little pricey. Otherwise, a great local place. Definitely give it a try if you're in town.

    The house-made ginger ale was delicious. The beer was decent. I'm thinking I'm a little beer-spoiled from living in Portland. Just wasn't too impressed with any of them. I did like the spicy stout. They took their regular Stout and added chili peppers to it. Sounds weird, tastes good. (The Spicy Vegan would love it.) Did not like the fact that the sample tray costs $12.50. That's slightly outrageous. The food was adequate. Wanted the gardenburger, but the bun has milk powder in it. Boo. :( I got a small green salad and a cup of the chili. Decent tasting. I don't know if I'd come back, but I wasn't sad or mad when I left. Just... ambivalent.

  • Jason H.

    I've been here a few times and always hope when I come back the food will be better or the service faster. Unfortunately today was no different. Service was extremely slow for a restaurant that wasn't really full. Food was one step up from bad. My son had the children's quesadilla which came with 4 apple pieces that looked to be at least a month old. Brown and spotted. No professional should have sent those out of the kitchen. Also had the hummus plate - not sure where that hummus came from but was cold and tasteless. Beer was good. Drink the beer at the bar but do NOT eat the food.

    I LOVE THE BEER, it's awesome! Ok now the food, it's ok- first time me and my wife showed up I ordered fish tacos which are good but they have to much going on, my wife ordered chicken sandwich which was dryer then the desert! The second time we came-the beer was excellent and once again the food thing, my wife ordered a turkey sandwich which is just ok, the burgers are really good and I would order that again for sure! The third time we came we got a pizza, split down the middle pulled pork with pineapple and a pepperoni , how can you go wrong with a pepperoni but the pulled pork needs some kick- really- no flavor at all, maybe some BBQ sauce or maybe pork cooked off in their stout would give it the flavor it needs! I don't know but it needs something flavorful !

    While on the coast, My bf and I had to travel to astoria and check out the sights of "goonie-ville" and find a place to eat....So we found this brewery still open...(we were pretty late...in reality we weren't...but we learned at the coast, late was 8:00pm....lesson learned..or not) At the Fort George Brewery we had GREAT service by a new employee! He was awesome! The beer was GREAT and the food...you guessed it, GREAT! We had a salmon dip and an incredible tuna melt...a full fillet of tuna + tillamook cheese = amazing.

  • Mark W.

    Every year in the summer I make a 126 mile solo bicycle ride to the coast from Portland. And every year my reward is a visit to Fort George for some of their beers and delicious food. This year I had the good fortune to visit when they had Bourbon Barrel Cavetica Stout on tap. This is easily one of the best stouts I've ever had; I'm a lover of stouts. I ordered the fish and chips. The use of tuna was nice and the frying was such that the very inside of the nice sized portions of fish were still a touch raw. The texture and taste was perfect. I could go on and on about their beers but really just know they are all very, very good. And but also, it's a place the brews fun beers and isn't afraid to experiment beyond the standard brews most other breweries offer. If you're on the coast and within 75 miles it's a destination brewery. I ride for hours with this place as the carrot in front me baiting me forward. A word about growlers. I've seen some negative words about Fort George growlers and the pricing. It's true while the bargain hunter will opt for the 64 oz Belle canning jar for their growler fill they will be disappointed when it leaks like it invariably will. That leaves the fancier flip top growler and the initial buy-in is a daunting amount, however, one should think of it as an investment. This growler is distinctive looking and will garner you multiple compliments whenever it is carried in public. It keeps beer fresher for longer to boot. Also, one will note its two liters, or 67.5 oz, most other growlers are a mere 64 oz. That's like getting 3.5 ounces of free beer per fill. People, stop being cheap and whiney. You get what you pay for, and in this case this is one of the best growlers money can buy.

    Uncomfortable seating, mediocre service, bland food, boring beers...I really wanted to like this place, but found my experience totally forgettable. The seating in this place was so lousy. A totally inefficient use of space with a variety of awkward seating options. Their menu boasts several flavors of house made sausage...all of them were terrible. Really, they should leave the sausage to the professionals because they really do a poor job in house. The beers? Meh. Nothing about the atmosphere, food, drinks or service impressed me and I would not return.

    I am torn, I give the Beer 5 stars and the food 3 stars. The staff was nice had to wait for a seat for about 15 minutes early afternoon on a Friday, they did make sure I had a cold beverage while I waited which made the wait more tolerable. I had a chicken Blue cheese sandwich and it was okay, nothing special. The Vortex IPA and there Wit beer where amazing.... No television to watch a game but I don't think that is what this place is going for and I am okay with that.

    Loved this place! Stopped in for beer on a tour of breweries up the coast, and was blown away by the "Divinity". So goooood. Even though we were travelling, I had to get a growler! They have multiple sizes, and everything is served in mason jars (even the 1/2 gallon growler is a mason jar!). Their other tasting room (something in the old auto shop which houses their brewery) wasn't open during the week, which was a shame, because they serve different experimental versions of their beer there... Will have to come back!

    My husband and I stopped in for a drink both days we were in Astoria. The first day was late afternoon around 4pm and we easily found two seats at the bar. The bartenders were friendly, informed, and attentive. The beers were very good! I prefer darker beers and my husband leans more towards the IPAs. We shared a curry chicken dish for lunch and that was very tasty too! The 2nd day we went later so that we could hear the scheduled entertainment - a favorite local bluegrass band - it was very crowded and we waited in line to be seated. One of the bartenders took orders for those in line and was busy finding seats for as many as he could. He asked a young couple if they'd mind sharing their table (I overheard him) and then approached us to see if we'd mind - heck no!! Even with a more-than-full house the service was excellent - the band was fun - the couple we sat with were locals so we gleaned as much info as we could without being obnoxious (hopefully).

    If I were a beer drinker, this review would probably be 5 stars, but I'm reporting my husband's impression. He thought the beer was wonderful. I drank hot tea! I thought the food was quite good. The servers were wonderful. Everyone was very attentive. There is really no view as the brewery doesn't sit high enough on the hills. But, the decor is interesting as it was a "cool" transformation of a garage. I'm pretty certain we'll return!

    Wow! What a great place to go eat and drink FANTASTIC beer! Thank you! been here countless times for food and drinks and the atmosphere and for my rehearsal dinner. Let me tell you about my rehearsal dinner! My wedding was 7/2/11. rehearsal dinner on 7/1/11 (weekend of 4th of July so crazy busy weekend). The host (name starts with an E and is a girl) was super friendly and helpful and made our dinner absolutely awesome! Very kind, cooperative, chill and ready to help. she was in charge of my event, and she catered to my every need. The food was amazing (we had this amazingly seasoned chicken with tons of other stufff). corn, roasted vegies, beer, and more. They grilled it outside between the pubic house and lovell taproom/brewery. the portion sizes were huge and prices were worth it. we all ate inside the main lobby of the brewery . the weather was sunny and gorgeous which was a major blessing from God, especially at the coast on 4th of july. the beer rocks cause it just does. my favorites are quick wit, vortex and OMEGAFRICKINGTEX! I just love double ipas. also just tried the spank stout which is a spicy stout with peppers in it! the best stout I have ever had. WOnderful atmosphere and have live music i think on weekends. They sell their beer at lots of stores and are at most beer pubs around portland. This is a must stop in when you visit astoria or anywhere near it. great food, great people and great beer. Heaven on earth. ALways are at beer festivals so keep an eye out!

    A big disappointment for me. The service is absolutely horrible. I went here for lunch and waited at least 20 minutes for someone to take my order and another 35 minutes to get my food. Aaaannnnddddd, when I did get my food it was cold. The wait staff need some serious training or something - no excuse. It's been a while since I've been treated that badly. The food was not even that great. I tried an eggplant sandwich which was like chewing on rubber and had no flavor. It was not worth even half of the $8.50 they charge. I didn't try the brew (I'm just guessing the service is the same no matter what is ordered), but I will not go here ever again.

    Personally I think this place's beer and food deserve 4stars. Too bad they employ horrible servers. Our waitress actually looked around while taking our order... not a conscientious look, a bored look. Really? She took our order and we ordered our meals plus a grilled cheese for our toddler. She served 4 adult meals. About 5 minutes go buy and no grilled cheese. I had to go hunt her down for the kid's plate. Hungry toddler+ hungry Mom - toddler food = no bueno!!! She was a 10% server, so she got a 10% tip. Bring crackers for your little ones. Growlers that are out of house beer (the cider for instance) will set you back 30 bucks... even already having a growler from a previous visit. * THE FRIES ARE GLUTEN FREE

    The beer I had here was great (the Quick Wit), but the food was definitely not at the same standard. The tuna in the fish and chips was really tasty, but the french fries were soggy lumps. The place has a comfortable atmosphere with various games you can check out, too.

    Didn't eat here, but had their beer. Fantastic beers, periord. They are really doing a great job brewing and I would merrily return on any Astoria visit. While there, pop across the street to Vintage Hardware, one of the finest and most unique stores I have visited.

    Such an awesome experience! Our server was very attentive along with two other servers we felt like royalty. Seriously food was really good have the sausage app. Beer was better than ever before its my 3rd trip here and by far the best. Just so happens live music on Sundays at 8. What a great way to end the day!

    I really wanted to like this place . Great location and atmosphere . The service was pretty slow but friendly . The food was good , not great . I really enjoyed the pumpkin ale. The other beers were good but didn't really stand out for me.

    Good beer selection and quality did not overcome the distracted service and blah food. I did like the smoked salmon spread though.

    Awesome beers, food, and atmosphere. We headed down to Astoria for the day after the Long Beach 1/2 marathon. The girls were starving and we got good seating for the 8 of us. I absolutely love the sunrise Oatmeal IPA. It's unbelievable how they get that seemingly orange flavor. I really dig the cans as well. They can about 4 of their beers in the 20oz tall boys and I like the graphics. Can't say I'm a fan of spiders so the stout can is really intimidating. Food was great and I really enjoyed the service. Bartender was offering some local seasonals that weren't on the sample platter of beers so that was a huge plus in my book. You really can't visit Astoria without stopping in this place. Great for families and really nice outdoor patio for soaking up the occasional rays of Oregon. This is the epitome of what a good brewpub should be. Way to go guys!
