smokehouse chicken and guns at night in front of snowy hills

An authentic community watering hole in Gales Creek, Oregon. We are the gateway to the Tillamook Forest and its bevy of recreations.

At Smokehouse, we strive for every person to feel welcomed with nostalgic hospitality. We aim to be a local favorite, a perfect base camp for people utilizing the Tillamook forest, a destination, or a stopover on your way to and from the coast and your spot to stock up on fireside provisions. 

Smokehouse Chicken & Guns offers a complete coffee and espresso program, breakfast, lunch, dinner, soft serve, beer, and cocktails all in a thoughtfully curated atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while, but will also have you covered when you are itching to get into the forest.

Smoked meats are carefully prepared alongside vibrant sauces and a charred and roasted celebration of local farm vegetables and foraged bounty. Americana meets Latin inspirations over an open fire.

Step into another dimension with us. Dustin Knox used inspiration from childhood memories of the 70’s to create an immediate rustic, psychedelic, vintage scape as the space moves from cafe to restaurant to bar to outdoors. 

Our team is merging our love of hospitality, the outdoors, community, great food, and fun. Smokehouse will have live music, karaoke, seasonal events, late-night parties, and offsite events. We plan to stay open during sun, rain, or snow creating fun and appreciation in all situations while maintaining delicious, high-quality offerings in a well-curated space. Smokehouse is a venue that welcomes all and allows folks of varied backgrounds and personalities to connect.
