SAN DUNE PUB
46
Comfortable, Cozy and Inviting San Dune Pub stablished in 1935, the historic San Dune Pub is a classic. Located just three blocks from the beach in Manzanita and just 10 miles south of Shortsands Beach/Oswald West State Park - a popular surfing spot, the San Dune is also a popular gathering place for surfers, sports fans and music lovers. A few years ago, under the ownership of Debra Greenlee, the San Dune Pub underwent a makeover. Workers stripped away old shingles, revealing the original brick front, and added a garden patio featuring baskets full of colorful flowers and market umbrellas. With the building’s facelift came exciting changes on the menu. “We’ve become a destination restaurant,” says owner Greenlee.The menu features a variety of freshly made dishes, from appetizers to entrees and desserts. Bite into a juicy burger (made with all-natural Piedmontese beef) or a natural chicken burger. Specialties include the chipotle bacon cheeseburger and a pesto chicken burger, among many others. Seafood lovers will enjoy lightly battered fresh Willapa Bay oysters in an oyster Po’boy or oyster burger.“We are famous for our fish tacos,” says Greenlee.“We make them with center-cut white cod and top them with our house-made cilantro coleslaw.We are also famous for our creamy seafood chowder filled with crab, lobster, shrimp and scallops,” she says. (The chowder is served Friday through Sunday.) Salads include a chicken or prawn Caesar, and a cranberry walnut chicken salad which sparkles under the house-made balsamic vinaigrette. Every Tuesday, the San Dune kitchen offers up their popular baby back ribs. A new wine list features a variety of Oregon Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet and Pinot Gris by the glass or bottle. Beer lovers will enjoy a selection of 17 beers on tap, including local and international beers.The San Dune also offers a fullservice bar, serving what many consider the “best Bloody Mary on the coast.” For dessert, don’t miss “Miss Laura’s” light, feathery Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, raspberry cheesecake and seasonal berry pies – all delicious. Take home a taste of the San Dune with their bottled dressings and sauces.Yum! LM
