Pelican Brewing Opens Another Location on the Oregon Coast, in Yachats
FYI, it’s pronounced “YAH-hots”
Pelican Brewing Company has opened its newest coastal restaurant in Yachats, Oregon, marking the brewery’s sixth location along the Oregon Coast. Located along Highway 101, the new pub brings Pelican’s beer, food, and coastal hospitality to the central coast.
“When we started Pelican thirty years ago, our goal was to transform food and beverage experiences into lasting memories for our guests,” said Mary Jones, Pelican Brewing Company president and co-founder. “Opening in Yachats is the result of years of hard work, intentional growth, and a deep commitment to our coastal community. We’re honored to step into this special space, earn the trust of our neighbors, and offer a welcoming spot for guests.”
The property holds personal meaning for Pelican co-founder and vice president Jeff Schons, whose mother lived in Yachats for 15 years. Schons and Jones were regulars at LeRoy’s Blue Whale, which operated at the site for 45 years before becoming the Whale’s Tail Diner — and now, Pelican’s newest location.
“Having spent so much time in Yachats with friends and family over the years makes the opening here especially meaningful,” said Schons. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of this building’s next chapter and to serve more of our coastal neighbors and visitors.”
The opening comes as Pelican marks its 30th year in business. Founded in Pacific City in 1996, the brewery has built a track record of investing in Oregon’s coastal towns, and the Yachats location introduces a new format for the company: a “neighborhood pub” concept, with a smaller footprint and a more casual dining experience than Pelican’s larger brewpubs.
The pub is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
