Food Scene

This place is one of our favorites be it lunch or dinner. The Zebra Bar has nice screens for die-hard Sport fans. The building is historic. It's a five minute walk from the Leaside House.

We often go here, hang out on the street seating, watch the people go by and have a drink before going to the Atrium out back for Pizza ala Italy. (As close as you are going to find hereabouts). I wouldnt go for a quick bite though because the take their time here. Prices are decent and has just about everything besides the Italian Flair.

These people know how to serve up the real deal. If you want to brush up on your Spanish this would be a great place too:-) We eat here often.

Drinks & Nightlife

This place has riverside dining, is cost effective, and serves up authentic Mexican food. The proprietors are a great bunch. Tell Gabriel, Maria or Omar Torrie Lee says hi! Friday and Saturday evenings they have live Music! Get there early enough for a seat preferably -not too close to the band because they can get loud! Best place for an afternoon margarita and a seat along the Siuslaw River after a stroll along the boardwalk.

Shopping

If you feel like doing the whole shop routine or feel like window shopping, Bay Street has loads of little shops. Among my favorites is Books n Bears - because you can get used books as well as new ones. But the glassblowing shop, the Gallery Shops, etc. are all on this street.
