I haven't been here in years, last time we were able to bet on the ponies, not now, and that's not a big deal, you can still play the Oregon slot machines but don't think you can get rich. On our visit we just wanted drinks, but the food that I saw looks great. My margarita was sub par, I won't order again. They have a great pinball selection for us who like that. I'll cycle back again.
Local tavern in Astoria with view of Columbia river. Food was decent. Wife and I got street tacos. Three tasty pork tacos, we should've shared them, they were so big. Has pinball, poker, and slot machines. Atmosphere is dark with lots of paraphernalia on the walls.
I needed to go to the Merry Time to watch the Mountain West Championship game as power to our house was out due to a weather power outage. I asked the manager if it would be possible to get the game on one of the screens. He put it on the big screen for and tuned the volume down on the other screens as I was the only patron truly interested in watching one of the games. I had street tacos and Dr. Pepper and then, when the game was over, I took an order of street tacos home to my wife as she is caring for her 101 year old mother. We are from Idaho and will be here through the end of December, plus. I definitely will come here again.
The Merry Time is the best bar in Astoria. A big cavernous main room, with sports on many screens. They have some good bar food, and cheap drinks.
Upstairs is a mezzanine with 14 pinball machines, which are well maintained and curated.
The bartenders are friendly, and efficient, and there is plenty of comfy spots to sit and hang with friends. It’s got everything.
Great place, all genders are welcome 21+ drag brunch on some Sundays. Great food, all the cooks are well respected, and know what they're going so is the bar staff. Great management. Everyone is so kind it's clean, and they also have pinball upstairs etc thank you 😊
Had a great time here! The food and beers were delicious and decently priced. They have a happy and chill atmosphere and the best part of all are the staff. The bartender was the friendliest person I've encountered in all of Astoria! 5 ⭐

Fun staff and fantastic food! They have a good variety of pinball machines and gambling machines. They were doing a trivia night on the Wednesday that we went. Overall a great place with awesome vibes!
I wish the Pinball was downstairs where the action is, and the boring lottery was hidden up in the attic. 🤣
The burgers are really clever and delicious, the staff was enthusiastic and kind. Really cool place. 😎
We like this place for decent bar food and affordable cocktails. They also have pinball machines and lots of things to do for fun like board games, outdoor seating and trivia nights. It's a great place to relax and remember to never take yourself too seriously. It's perfect for fun, causal date or night out with friends!
Awesome drinks. Awesome atmosphere. DJ plays sax. What more could you want?
