Clatsop County Safer Bars Coalition
Clatsop County Safer Bars is a coalition of local bars, breweries, and restaurants who are commited to creating safe and thriv​ing nightlife communities.
Bars, breweries, and restaurants that participate in the Safer Bars program are leaders in our community. They prioritize patron comfort and safety and understand that having a good time out is one where patrons don't have to worry about experiencing harassment and violence. In fact, Safer Bars regard such behavior as unacceptable.
They take responsibility for creating a bar environment that is inclusive, welcoming, and comfortable for all patrons and they take pride in the fact that by doing so, they are committing to a higher standard of customer service and experience, and community wellness. The Harbor is proud to partner with the following establishments to prevent violence and harassment in our community:
