The 12 Best Places to Drink in Cannon Beach

The instructions say to write about a bar, but the source material describes Crepe Neptune as a grab-and-go crepe and boba shop with no mention of alcohol or bar service. Writing it as a bar would misrepresent the place. Could you clarify the "Kind of entry" field, or confirm whether this should be described as a casual counter-service crepe shop?

Rabbits patrol the back patio garden while you eat pizza and drink draft craft beer, which is about as good a setup as Cannon Beach offers. Surfcrest is a convenience store first, with a few aisles of snacks and souvenirs, but walk past the refrigerators and there's a small counter turning out hand-tossed 16-inch pies. Get a table outside if you can, and let the rabbits judge your slice choices.

The lounge at the Wayfarer has been around forever, tucked inside a low-slung, wood-accented building steps from the beach, with Haystack Rock framed through the window. It leans into whiskey, and the bar program swings seasonal: hot toddies and Irish coffee when the Oregon coast does its worst, blueberry lavender lemonade spiked with vodka when it relents. The kind of cozy corner where date night actually feels like one.
