Astoria

About the restaurant

Open Table Reservations are for the Upstairs Pizzeria where our pizza menu is available.
Our downstairs space is separate and is first-come, first-served. Our pub menu is available downstairs only.

Fort George opened its doors to Astoria as both a brewery and a public house, and that desire to serve the community continues to this day. The brewers and pub staff here share a common goal, to create a welcoming space where anyone in town can pull up a stool and enjoy a pint and a bite to eat. We take pride in our house-made offerings and our hospitality, and we’re always looking for improvements that bring us one step closer to perfection. It’s a goal Sisyphus could appreciate, even if he doesn’t have as much fun pushing that rock as we do rolling those kegs. And that’s why we like to call Fort George beer the best beer you’ve had today. Tomorrow it will only be better.

Best pizza ever, anywhere. But even better are the servers - inevitably good natured no matter how grouchy I am (the beer usually cures that…).

We had a wonderful dinner. Hubby had the steak and pepper sandwich I had a rib eye on top of a smashed garlic baked potato. Dinner was wonderful, and it always is. Glad to know they offer specials. That relieves the same summer menu. Great work to all!

Wasn’t a fan of 20% corporate charge they add to your check. Great atmosphere but food was a little bland.
