Fort George crafts original beers distributed only in the Northwest. Whether in cans or kegs, at our pub in Astoria or on your front porch, our brews bring people together in aromatic headiness and lupulin ecstasy.

Our tour group had a set menu (pizza and salad)) at this restaurant. The servings are enormous! If possible, we would suggest sharing your order with someone, or being prepared to ask for a doggy bag.. We recommend the "Forest Pizza."--the pepperoni pizza ordered by some in our group appeared rather greasy.. Not surprising, the beer (was excellent--we had a stout.
I know the reviews of this place are mixed, and I suspect that covid restrictions have a part to play in that. When we came, later in the afternoon, there was no real line. We were able to order quickly. The service was a little rough, but to be fair, quite a few customers were hassling the staff. I don't have a major complaint other than the order taker was a touch abrupt. They were letting people sit in the courtyard and in the taproom area when we came. Seating was spread out and had a surprisingly happy vibe. Our food came fairly in a decent time frame. We had a pizza to share and a couple of appetizers for the table. The pizza was good but I did not care for the other items. Can't say that I was overly fond of the drinks, although I have certainly had worse. I would certainly come here again. I really do think that the difficulties caused by the covid pandemic had a fairly deep impact on the service, but generally the food was decent.
Had seen a review of the Brewery on a TV show where they were making Crab Cakes. They looked great and we were looking forward to them. We made reservations and arrived to be told our reservations were on the top floor. We were told to climb a steep spiral stair case. We are in our 70's and that was an effort. We then entered a large loud room and were handed a menu, My mouth was watering for those great looking crab cakes and a cold beer. The only thing they were serving was pizza! The hostess told us they stopped making dinners 4 years ago. After all the effort I was sooo disappointed we left
Went to Fort George Public House on a Thursday night in mid August. This place has a downstairs (to-go) and upstairs (sit down) section. We wanted to go upstairs, but since we arrived very late by Astoria standards (7:30-ish) the upstairs was closed to further seating. This is definitely something to be aware of in Astoria. If their hours say open until 8:00, they're really only open to 7:00 - 7:30 which we found a bit shocking, but that's another topic for another day. Anyway, so we stayed downstairs, ordered a pizza (choices pretty much limited to a pizza or a burger), a side salad and a beer. I found in Astoria (and most of Oregon) that the brew pubs aren't really very creative with their food menus, so no real gastro-pubs with good entree's, etc. Typically burgers and pizza, with maybe a couple of other sammies. Vortex IPA beer was cold and good, pizza was just okay (Salsiccia), as was the salad. Food came out really quickly as well. Service was good in general as well. Nothing exceptional about this place, but nothing bad either. They do have a nice patio / outdoor seating area which is nice in the summer, and I can't speak to the upstairs section, so I didn't get the whole experience. Probably worth a shot if you're in the area, but I wouldn't put it on my "can't miss" list.
Our reservations were not honored at another local restaurant and we discovered that we were too late (after 7:45PM) to be seated by any other restaurant in town (believe me, we tried them all). Then we saw someone on the street with a Pizza box... they directed us to Ft. George and we were finally able to get food. The covered outdoor seating was comfortable and we enjoyed a good pizza. Recommend this place.
