Really fantastic pinball selection in the upper section of the bar and a laid back atmosphere for grabbing a drink and general "merry"ment. The kitchen makes quality bar food; really tasty and enjoyable especially later at night. TVs with sports or other entertainment and they have attentive service without pretention. Board games available as well as a billiards table.

I haven't been here in years, last time we were able to bet on the ponies, not now, and that's not a big deal, you can still play the Oregon slot machines but don't think you can get rich. On our visit we just wanted drinks, but the food that I saw looks great. My margarita was sub par, I won't order again. They have a great pinball selection for us who like that. I'll cycle back again.

Bartender was great. Recommended the spicy Cajun shrimp tacos. So I got them beautiful plating. Look nice, but the shrimp tacos were very salty. Not spicy at all. Happy cover with hot sauce to make him edible, wouldn't recommend

The food was good. I ordered the Merry Monster and requested a salad instead of the fries/tot option. The salad was actually the best part. It was full of great ingredients and very fresh. My wife ordered the street tacos. She asked the order taker his opinion on the carnitas vs. chicken option. Unfortunately he wasn't even trying to be helpful. Two star reduction wasn't due to any one thing. It was more like so many small easy things that added up to lousy service, poor experience, and frustration. Here's a few; ordering at the bar and paying the tip before the service only to discover that it took 42 minutes from order to service. cheep plastic utensils. Less then cold beer. The food runner did bring us requested water. Nobody check back at the table. I guess that's because they want you to stand in line for anything else. Again, that's fine but that level of service didn't qualify for the level of up front tip.

Local tavern in Astoria with view of Columbia river. Food was decent. Wife and I got street tacos. Three tasty pork tacos, we should've shared them, they were so big. Has pinball, poker, and slot machines. Atmosphere is dark with lots of paraphernalia on the walls.

Had a great time here! The food and beers were delicious and decently priced. They have a happy and chill atmosphere and the best part of all are the staff. The bartender was the friendliest person I've encountered in all of Astoria! 5 ⭐

Merry Time Bar and Grill: where pinball wizards meet pub grub pros. The vibe is pure Astoria charm—quirky, fun, and just the right amount of divey. Drinks are solid, food’s great, and the pinball? Addictive enough to make you skip dinner. Play on, champs!
