The Laughing Clam on Historic G Street

This old building has been here since the 1800's. It was originally a cigar factory.

Then, in the early 1900's it became a saloon.

The custom back bar is still here, being brought around Cape Horn all the way to its' new home. What an undertaking that must have been.

At one point the building was made into an ice cream parlor and then it became a bar again.

In 1996, it became The Laughing Clam.

The lady who named it, took the name from her favorite restaurant from her childhood on the Oregon coast. When it closed, she took the name so the fortune of good memories would transport to its' new home in Grants Pass.

Oh, I almost forgot, the atmosphere makes one forget about what you're there for. The food is great and they have a great selection of seafood! The Laughing Clam has a varied menu of seafood, burgers and sandwiches. They also offer a wide selection of salads, sides and "specials."

They have a full-service bar that also offers hand-crafted beer, and on weekend evenings, you'll be treated to live music.

Try the Halibut Fish and Chips, and lounge against the full length brick wall across from the magnificent bar that rivals any in the West!
