The Nauti Mermaid Bar & Bistro

Great place to hang out for a beer and a game of pool. The locals are very nice, and the owner is a cool guy that brings his sweet, non aggressive dog, Dave, to work with him! Nice spot, so bring your friends and play some music on the jukebox, which had a wide variety of music to choose from!

Went to this bar because of its reviews, impressed with the service and drinks (tex was great) Upon arrival we noticed the bar dog was part bernese (which is a breed we owened) very aggressive and barked at several patrons plus us (out of towners) we found this to be a turn off along with the fact that the owner/​Bar tender seemed to not care so good luck with that, I hope you have a strong local following!

Great atmosphere, good drinks and great music.

Me and my husband come here every year on our anniversary trip drinks are strong people are nice atmosphere is good :-) the owner also is very very nice and his dog is super sweet :-)

Good Lord what a cool dive bar from Dave the bar dog to the coolest penny bar I have ever seen !

Service was great. Food OK. Reasonable beer selection.

Fun and interesting place. Food is your usual bar food, yet pretty darn good. Staff is wonderful and makes the best drinks in town and great music. I plan on hitting the Nauti Mermaid the next time I’m in town. chick her out.

The Nauti is a fun place. I have taken a liking to a Bartender there named Marjorie, a sweet gal with a wonderful sense of humor and a good conversationalist. The bar has a wonderful Motif. There are numerous «picture worthy» artifacts in the place. It is a must see while in Lincoln City. I have met some wonderful people there, locals and tourists. Highly recommend a stop by for a few brews and some lunch or dinner. They do some great cooking here also.

When on the search for any food that wasn’t deep-​fried late at night, my friends and I stumbled upon this awesome place. We were out in Lincoln City for a pool tournament and it seems everything shuts down relatively early.
Our food was great. I had a half order of chicken salad wrap with a small spaghetti as the owner talked me into the specials. The chicken salad was soooooo delicious! The spaghetti was flavorful and hearty. My friends ordered the BLT and a Ruben and they both liked their food. Portions were great, price was more than fair and the beer is nice and cold. Wish we had a place like this around where we live.
I’ll definitely be back as I come out to LC at least twice a year!

A very unique bar. The owner was very cool. It was very dead like every bar in this town.

We had a great time at the Nauti Mermaid. The owner is really nice and he made us feel very welcome. The place is huge and very clean.

After going whale watching and hanging out on the beach, we wanted a quick, cheap bite to eat. We chose this place, because we loved the name. They didn’t have a lot of food items to choose from, but it was perfect for us. I got the reuben sandwich and my friend got the BLT. They were pretty tasty, especially for the price. It seems like it would be a fun place to grab a couple beers and watch a game. They even have a stage so I imagine that they have live music. When I am back in Lincoln City, I wouldn’t mind stopping by here again.

Keep moving on. Used to be fun, but new owner took over. Lot of attitude, empty bar. Coincidence?

One of the more friendly establishments out of the 3 I visited. The local law inforcement stopped by to say hi, and everything was cool. A little small talk with the bartender and out the door they went. Kudos to them. They were just regular people doing a job. Two thumbs up on my experience for The Nauti Murmaid.

We usually end up here anytime we’re visiting in Lincoln City. It’s bright yellow and hard to miss. Also we’re always here around the afternoon so we’ve never experienced the local nightlife part of it, to say the least.
I will say it’s a nice & spacious bar with chairs clearly bought from an out of business office store or something. That lack of pretentiousness I LOVE. The walls are lined with old albums covers (and this goes into the bathrooms as well) so it’s fun décor wise. There’s the typical lottery games & a horribly complex golf game if you want that to pass the time.
Drinkwise it’s a full bar + numerous decent beers on tap. All very reasonably priced.
Reason for 3 stars? So this bar has the MyTunes jukebox that you can play music either by using the machine or an iPhone app. I decided to use the app & bought the equivalent of 8 – 10 songs depending on what you picked. All went well for awhile, but then the bartender skipped two of my songs and SHUT THE JUKEBOX DOWN. Two paid for songs. This is clearly idiotic of the jukebox vendor allowing a bar to do this but he did this so he could watch women’s gymnastics. To say I was livid is the least. Sorry you don’t like my music but I paid $$ for it so shut. the. eff. up. My boyfriend talked me off the cliff of rage since we’d probably come back but THE HELL.
I’ve already contacted the vendor but to me that’s a no no. Let me tell you the many times I’ve heard shitty bar music and would LOVE to skip that crap. But it’s my understanding that you can watch gymnastics without too much commentary (unless you want to be old many pervy then well… ew).
So seriously, NM, don’t you eff with my music. No. No you don’t. Otherwise totes fine.

Just stopped in here for a beer. And for that purpose, it suited admirably. It was late at night on a Monday. The place was dead, sports were on the TV, and there was plenty of spot at the bar. I was helped by the bartender immediately and got exactly what I wanted.
I could see where this would be a really great place, but I was just passing through on a night drive, there wasn’t a whole lot for me to experience. Still, I didn’t regret stopping in for the brew.

Recently opened bar in the heart of Lincoln City on the West side of Hwy 101.
First, it isn’t a strip club, despite the name. The previously blacked out front windows are now clear, making it look less like the strip club it originally appeared to be.
Expect very strong pours on well drinks, only a few beers on tap when we visited (think Widmer Hefeweizen, Coors Light, and Bud kind of selections), and with a few decent bottled beers as well.
They also have food, with $ 3 nachos that are pretty good. Bar snack mix on the bar too. Can’t say anything about the rest of the food, because we didn’t see a menu and only tried the nachos, but they appear to have a full kitchen.
They have a large space, with a sound system and stage, with a decent jukebox, but only 2 credits per $ 1 on it. Pool tables. Parking in back, or on Hwy 101.
It’s a little boring looking inside, really just a TV for visual interest when we visited, but they appeared to be setting up live music in the near future. Maybe because it’s relatively new, it isn’t very lived in yet to have the usual ‘crap on the walls’ to liven it up.
Mixture of locals and tourists visiting LC crowd, nobody too crazy but a few characters around.
Worth a visit to get your drink on, if you’re looking to do something other than the casino.
