Bay City, Oregon sits on Tillamook Bay where the dairy farms meet the tidewater, and the Bay Haven is the kind of bar that makes sense in a town like this. TripAdvisor reviewers describe gruff-but-loveable bartenders, drinks served in small mason jars that hit surprisingly hard, and bathroom graffiti that rotates frequently enough you’ll never remember what you wrote last time. There’s no food to speak of. There is atmosphere, and plenty of it. The Facebook posts alone (“A friendly reminder that sandwiches taste good”) suggest a place with its own operating philosophy. Right across from the bay. Follow them on Facebook before you go.
