About

Sitting only a block from Cannon Beach is a quaint eatery offering smoked meats, craft beer, and cocktails in a cozy atmosphere. This is Cannon Beach Smokehouse, which has been "smokin' meats beachside since 2017."

The smokehouse takes inspiration from the rich natural resources of the Pacific Northwest, marrying local seafood and meats with the art of smoking. This culinary technique, rooted in tradition, transforms simple ingredients into complex, flavor-packed dishes.

Cannon Beach Smokehouse taps into the area's vibrant community spirit and abundant produce and seafood. Its proximity to Hemlock Street makes visiting Icefire Glassworks before or after a meal doable. This combo sets the stage for an authentic and tantalizing dining experience.

The menu draws diners eager to taste melt-in-your-mouth smoked salmon and brisket coupled with regional craft beers and cocktails. Cannon Beach Smokehouse delivers an epicurean experience that resonates with the soul of Oregon, from charcuterie boards to hearty entrees.
