Visited with the family on St. Patricks day - doing a great business. Nice location right next to the ocean, quite large with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Small bar area. Running about 10 beers on tap, including a mix of regulars and seasonals. Service was pretty good given how busy they were. Food is pretty good actually, but tourist-pricey. Beers, unfortunately, are only so so.

It’s a pleasant place to visit, especially sitting outside on a sunny day. The food is pricey but of good quality. Their beers vary in quality but they do have some good ones. Would visit again but more for the scenery and environment than the beer.

Great little place right on the coast. About 6-8 of their own beers on tap. the 2 I had were both pretty good. Food was outstanding!

Visited here a while back while on a beach trip with the family. The place is obviously popular with this kind of crowd. It was full, but not overcrowded on a Saturday evening and the service was okay if a bit rushed. The location is awesome with a view of the ocean from the large patio. This is the place to be in my opinion as the inside is a bit run down. I thought both the beer and the food were average. The beer was particularly forgettable. This seems to be the kind of place that coasts on their incredible location, and I’m not a big fan of that. I will have to revisit soon though, because it’s been a while since I’ve been here. It is worth a stop if you want the ticks and a decent place to relax after a day at the beach.

No wonder why Travel and Lesiure Magazine named this one of the best beach bars in America. I visited here after kayaking in Half Moon Bay. Quick walk from the pier to this brewpub. Busy all Saturday afternoon. Sat inside for 30 minutes and had a 20 oz. IPA while waiting for an outside table. They had wind-shields around the patio area to keep the chill off, and allow you to view the ocean. Very good beer, excellent seafood, salads and sandwiches. A little pricy. One of the locals said there’s an interesting local speaker series on Thursday evenings, if you like intellectual conversation.

A nice place on the bay. Good sized bar area with a fireplace. Big patio and plenty of inside eating. Decent beers and good food. The service was OK, but seemed to be rushed whenever I asked a question.

Was at their place the week after San Fransisco beer week. Sun and just a litle wind and their out door veranda was packed. Fast service and good food. A sample tray with 10 different of their own beers. Had time for a short visit in the brewery and meet the nice brew crew. I’ll gladly come back.

I had a good time drinking at this place. A nice little brew pub with a nice crowd of locals, fairly cheap prices, a nice view, and relatively good brews. Worth a visit for sure if you are driving along 1.

Great location, on the harbour right on the Pacific - a real summer holiday retreat, and then with a brewpub. A huge place with lots of both inside and outside seating - we sat outside, and had dinner, which got quite cold even on a July evening. 10 beers of draft ranging from good to flawed, but definately worth a stop - both for the ticks, but certainly also for the location.
