Fodor's Expert Review Vista Pub

An affordable, friendly, and attractive family-run tavern in downtown Brookings, Vista Pub is known both for its extensive selection of rotating craft beers and tasty but simple comfort food. Try the hefty bacon-cheddar burgers, beer-cheese soup in a bread bowl, thick-cut fries sprinkled with sea salt, fried locally grown zucchini, and smoked-salmon chowder with bacon. The dining area has a long polished-wood bar and several wooden tables, and walls decorated with eclectic artwork and mounted fish.
