Pelican Brewing Opens New Pub in Yachats, Serving Craft Beer and Coastal Favorites

Pelican Brewing Yachats Pub

Pelican Brewing Company has opened a new neighborhood pub in Yachats, Oregon, bringing its craft beer and casual coastal dining to the central Oregon Coast. The new spot offers a relaxed setting for locals and visitors along U.S. Highway 101 – with a menu and atmosphere designed for easy, everyday visits. The opening marks another milestone for the Oregon brewery as it celebrates 30 years on the coast.

The neighborhood pub is open from 11am–9pm, daily, according to a press release from Pelican Brewing.

Conveniently located along U.S. Highway 101, the neighborhood pub brings Pelican’s award-winning craft beer, food, and coastal hospitality to the central coast.    

“When we started Pelican thirty years ago, our goal was to transform food and beverage experiences into lasting memories for our guests,” said Mary Jones, Pelican Brewing Company president and co-founder. “Opening in Yachats is the result of years of hard work, intentional growth, and a deep commitment to our coastal community. We’re honored to step into this special space, earn the trust of our neighbors, and offer a welcoming spot for guests.”    

This particular property has a connection to Pelican co-founder and vice president Jeff Schons, whose mother lived in Yachats for 15 years. Schons and Jones frequently visited LeRoy’s Blue Whale, which operated at the site for 45 years before becoming the Whale’s Tail Diner, and now, Pelican Brewing Company’s newest location.    

“Having spent so much time in Yachats with friends and family over the years makes the opening here especially meaningful,” said Schons. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of this building’s next chapter and to serve more of our coastal neighbors and visitors.”    

The new restaurant opening comes as Pelican celebrates its 30th year of business. Founded in Pacific City in 1996, the brewery has invested in Oregon’s coastal towns, supporting vibrant communities and creating gathering places that celebrate the spirit of the Northwest. With the Yachats location, Pelican is introducing its “neighborhood pub” concept – a smaller footprint and a bit more casual dining experience, designed for an easy, relaxed visit.
