Buoy Beer Hall - Astoria

We just like this Beer Co. Good beer. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

We love to eat at breweries and this one checked all of the boxes for us. Our family of 5 had a fabulous early dinner with chowder and cheese curds. The beer for the adults was also delicious! We enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciated ordering and paying up front, while bussing our own table. This makes sense when so many businesses are short handed. We had no wait, food came fast, and we could leave when we wanted. We'll visit again next time we are in town.

Taproom a block off the river walk in a converted warehouse. It's a big space with an uncrowded feel. The menu is pretty small, though they had a nice set of specials the day we were there. The beer is wonderful clean, crisp, clear and flavorful. I had the Wry Lager which is one of my favorite styles and they did a really nice job of it. I ordered the rockfish and chips, my wife had the cheese curds, from Ellsworth Wisconsin, a cheese plant that my wife used to call on back in the day! They were both superb. The fish and chips was perfectly battered and the fish was wonderful. The cheese curds were fresh, nicely battered and came with a nice sauce. I grew up eating cheese curds at the Wisconsin State fair, and I thought the Buoy Beer curds were some of the best I've had. 4 stars for two reasons: limited menu, and the view could be better. They need to reverse the layout of the building and have the taproom windows overlook the harbor.

Maybe my favorite fish chips ever. The space is different for now but the food is still excellent, staff is friendly and love the local brews.

Unfortunately they were undergoing some remodeling so they had a very limited menu and super limited tap available. The staff was super nice though, but our plan to eat and enjoy the location didn't happen. We left with a six pack and that's all
