“ Great food and very friendly service. Well stocked bar and knowledgeable bartender. ”
“ Best Happy hour in Brookings! Great food and cocktails. The fresh squeezed margaritas are some of the best I’ve had outside of Mexico! Awesome bartender/waitress. 5 ”
“ This place has a great local atmosphere. It's got some fun karaoke, and a kick ass hamburger. The local people are friendly, and make you feel welcome. It's also the only place open after 10 pm. ”
“ My wife and I arrived at Harris Beach State Park late yesterday afternoon. By the time we settled the RV, it was after 7 pm on a Saturday night. After traveling all day with only a bagel since breakfast, we were starving and too tired to cook. We were surprised to find most regular dining spots in Brookings closing at 8 pm, even on a weekend! Luckily, we found Oxenfre Public House, one of the few places open later. What a fortunate discovery! The place has a great, authentic bar atmosphere, but it offers so much more. They boast a great draft beer selection and an impressive shelf filled with excellent Scotch, bourbon, and rye. I had one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails I've ever tasted there. Plus, the staff were wonderful! And the food? Definitely not your average bar fare! The short ribs were delicious, the fries were super tasty, and my wife declared the mac & cheese exceptional (and trust me, she's an expert!). We went in looking for any open restaurant and ended up having a fantastic meal with great drinks and service. Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for quality food and drinks later in the evening in Brookings! ”
“ Bar none some of the best food we have ever had! Great flavor, diverse menu and friendly staff. Love that they are a farm to table restaurant, using a lot of local organic ingredients. We only stayed in Brookings for three days and went to eat there two days in a row. Also can't forget the wonderful fresh cocktails! We only live a couple hours away in Humboldt County California and we both have said we would drive up to Brookings just to eat dinner here and then go home it was that good! ”
“ Play popped in here for drinks in a nap. Food is amazing and we came back the next day. Great Vibe and super attentive wait staff. ”
“ I have had the BEST night here. It wasn’t in our plans to end up here but at the end of the long travel day, it seemed to be the only place open with food still being served past 9 PM. Win! We head in and grab a seat at the bar, it was pretty empty but looked like Karaoke was being set up. After a few drinks and some opening karaoke with some solid singers, we were forced to look away from the fabulous food (ruby salad, burger med rare, and Mac and chz) to admire the pipes on an older woman singing- no, absolutely *rocking* separate ways by journey. I mean, sitting there dumbfounded, mouth agape at this woman’s vocal range, agility, and power. Every single following that somehow rocked harder than the last. I got to sing and I heard the small and mighty crowd singing the other part of the song I was singing, it was awesome. The amount of very serious talent in this bar tonight is a little confusing, very inspiring, and so exciting to be a part of. Peak human experience moment for me. I hope if you come here you have as good a time as I have had, this place is very cool. ”
“ Great gastropub with delicious eats, nice atmosphere and live music! Must try the fried deviled eggs! ”
