In the mood for killer handcrafted cocktails? What about creamy biscuits and gravy packed with flavor? Maybe smoked salmon benedict and stellar river views are your thing. Found on the Coquille River in Bandon, not far from Bullards Beach State Park is The Loft Restaurant and Bar. The Loft is a local favorite and must stop spot when you're on the southern Oregon coast.

The Loft has one of the best brunches around, making it the perfect spot for those who love to sleep in or who go out early exploring the beach and work up an appetite for a warm, filling meal. We love Bandon because there's a lot to do and several great restaurants in the area to grab a bite to eat. From horse rides on the beach at sunset, to old timey general stores that sell melt in your mouth fudge, Bandon has a lot going for it. One of many favorite spots to stop off at to grab a tasty meal is The Loft Restaurant And Bar.

You'll find The Loft riverside on 1st Street Southeast. It has great views of the Coquille River, and a warm, beach cabin vibe inside. Large windows looking out at the river and docks, warm wood tones, and warm lighting make this a cool spot to hang out with friends and family, but it's the good food that will make you want to come back again and again.

The menu at The Loft is small, but packed with good things to eat. Eggs benedict and smoked salmon benedict are favorites for brunch, though the biscuits and gravy and corned beef hash come in a close second. Crispy French toast is also a delicious way to start your day.

Tip: Go ahead and mosey in late. The Loft opens at 10 AM, so it's perfect for brunch or a late breakfast. If you want lunch, try to show up at 2 PM or before since The Loft closes at 3 PM.

For lunch, grab fish and chips or clam chowder. The smoked salmon chowder is delicious and so is the lobster bisque!

If seafood isn't your thing, grab a bacon cheddar burger or a grilled Reuben with steak fries or sweet potato fries on the side.

Maybe you're not in the mood for a full meal and just want to stop in for a cocktail. They have a good bloody Mary for those that want a little snack with their drink. It's a house made Bloody Mary with vodka, bacon, pickled veggies and citrus.

Other visitors like stopping in for the Boardwalk Rum Punch, with dark and silver rum, POG, and grenadine. The Loft Frozen Margarita, Kentucky Mule, and Citrus Drop are also local favorite cocktails that you might enjoy.
