2 Best Bars in Brookings, The Oregon Coast

In addition to producing some of the most flavorful, well-crafted beers along the Oregon Coast, Chetco Brewing also has a spacious, inviting taproom with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and live music most weekends.

The unusual name of this stylish little bar and grill has nothing to do with the Curtis Mayfield '70s funk anthem—rather, owner Ryan Webster named this establishment, which is also an artisanal-vodka distillery, after a fishing fly. Appropriately, the bar serves first-rate cocktails, including a refreshing lemon-basil martini. But the food is tasty, too.
