There are many great pubs and seafood restaurants in Oregon, but none have the views Pelican Brewing Company does. Located right on the sand in picturesque Pacific City, Oregon, Pelican Brewing Company boasts a front-row seat to the dramatic and imposing Haystack Rock. In addition to breathtaking beachfront views, the fare at this Oregon Coast restaurant is amazing, with fresh seafood, crave-worthy burgers, and an extensive selection of barrel-aged brews.

This is Pelican Brewing Company in Pacific City, and it has the absolute best views on the entire Oregon Coast.

Located right on the beach in front of Pacific City’s very own Haystack Rock, this coastal locale has been serving amazing brews and fare (with equally amazing views) since 1996.

Towering 327 feet above sea level, Haystack Rock at Pacific City is the tallest of Oregon’s coastal Haystack Rocks; the other two, found off Cannon Beach and near Bandon, stand at 235 feet and 105 feet, respectively.

Dining on the patio is weather-dependent, and there are outdoor heaters to help visitors keep warm during those cool nights on the Oregon Coast.

Breathtaking views aside (for a moment), Pelican Brewing Company is well-known for its barrel-aged brews. In fact, Pelican has won numerous awards for its brews, and is considered a leader in the PNW’s craft beer industry.

Of course, Pelican Brewing Company is also an amazing coastal restaurant, dishing up PNW favorites like loaded burgers – topped with Tillamook cheddar, of course.

The fish and chips here are also worth seeking out, too! Pelican’s version features fresh Alaskan cod, lightly breaded with Kiwanda Cream Ale, and panko, all served with beer-battered fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce.
