Beaches Restaurant & Bar

Raucous on the weekends (and most weeknights as well) this popular eatery overlooking the Columbia River serves upscale comfort food with a view. On clear evenings, look for the lights of Portland eight miles to the south. Coveted for its location, Beaches features a wall of plate-glass windows overlooking the Columbia River and patio seating riverside during the warmer months. Pizza, pasta, and seafood dominate the menu, along with a mother lode of dessert offerings and a hopping full bar. High ceilings amplify the often-festive noise level in a dining area enlivened by rotating motorcycles and an open-flame wood-burning stove.
