Try the sampler and choose your 5 beers. The Kölsch and the Belgian-style IPA are excellent if they have them on tap. Great pairing with oysters and a crab roll.
UpOut EventsOctober 17, 2014Take a trip down to Half Moon Bay for the 44th Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival. Enjoy food, art, and entertainment in addition to sipping on limited-release wine. Fri, 10/18, all-day. Free. Read more
Had to lobster roll with my stout. The best combination! The stout didn't kill the flavors of the lobster roll which was tasty and enjoyable. It was caught fresh on a Friday that we went. Enjoy!
Bsesem SesemMay 16, 2015Great location with tasty microbrews and pretty good food. Can get really crowded so wait times may be quite long. The bar often has live music and the outdoor seating is cozy even if foggy and cool.
Tasting TableSeptember 26, 2014We love this microbrewery about 30 minutes south of the city. Snag a spot around one of their outdoor fire pits and sample HMB Brewing's goods, named after the famous Mavericks surf break. Read more
p baruaJune 30, 2017Such a great place to sip on a beer and eat some fries! I'm not much of a beer drinker, but loved their lightly hoppy beer, the first one on their menu.
Greg SchechterAugust 11, 2014I like this place a lot. The food and beer always hits the spot even though it's not amazing. Combined with sitting outside watching the sunset, makes for one of my favorite dining experiences.- Heléne BjörkmanJuly 23, 2015Great restaurant with excellent outdoor seating. Lovely ceviche and fried calamari.
Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)December 20, 2014Awesome spot to visit on Hwy 1. Sit outside on the deck and enjoy the view of Half Moon Bay. The food is good, the beer is good and the view is good. What more could you want?
Melissa MirandaAugust 7, 2014Healthy kid meals are served here! Grilled prawns, rice, spinach, and non-spicy mango salsa. They also have the usual Mac and cheese and burgers for kids too.
Beautiful place to catch a game, with a burger and fresh beer... preferably the Calfeine Milk Stout!
Robin MillerSeptember 7, 2013They just opened the beer garden in the back. Skip the long wait for the front patio and eat and drink in the back. Live band and order from the bar.
Chris AhernAugust 11, 2014Incredibly scenic, perfect for date night and some of the best variety I've seen in making craft beer in all of the bay area so far.
Karen MiaoFebruary 28, 2016Good selection of beers and lovely outdoor patio. Service was a bit slow and sporadic though.
Do the full beer sampler flight! And make sure to get a growler of your favorite.
CécileSeptember 10, 2017Big laid-back terrasse with a view over the marina. We only had drinks but the sea food looked amazing. Come early!
Steve FaddenMarch 18, 2013Try the Mavericks Kobe Brewery Burger - Great burger with all the fixins; get it with cole slaw, crispy fries, and a Mavericks Princeton -by-the-Sea IPA!
Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017I love HMB, but there's not a hell of a lot of nightlife. This is what happens when you're hungry or bored I'm HMB. Enjoyable place for a typical bar with your typical food.
Half Moon Bay Brewing CompanyMarch 5, 2013For a limited time only- purchase a commemorative 10 year Anniversary Stein filled with any of your favorite Mavericks® Beers & Ales for $15
ShopStyleDecember 15, 2013A great place to watch the sunset & sip a seasonal brew by the outdoor fire pit. The patio is dog friendly & full of heaters but dress warmly.
Andrew ZaengleinApril 16, 2012Get anything fried. Especially the fish and chips, or the shrimp and chips. Their beer batter is the best!
Emily LeungJanuary 24, 2015Picky calamari fanatics rejoice—meaty, tender squid rings + pieces with tentacles battered & lightly fried to a light crunch.
Ashley TillettDecember 7, 2014Dude the fisherman's stew is without a doubt one of the best dishes I've ever had!
Himanshu RaghavApril 26, 2015Their Belgian Pale Ale is really good on a light beer...Seafood and Ceviche is must try
Ashlynn PoliniJanuary 2, 2013Half order of calamari was huge and some of the best I've had in a while. Perfect for 2 ppl.
Paul RossmanFebruary 13, 2015Fish tacos and smoked salmon tacos are really good! All the beer here is fantastic.
Ulli BisonoApril 14, 2017Awesome burgers, great craft beer, cocktails with locally made distilled spirits!
Teri KrestJune 12, 2011Looking for something simple? Bowls of Clam Chowder and the 1/2 order of Artichoke Hearts is all you need... Top it off with their Ale and all is right with the world.
Daniel PetersenJuly 6, 2012Bring your dog here on a nice day. You can sit and enjoy a beer and your dog can sit right next to you. I appreciate this.
- Sara TaylorSeptember 27, 2017Love their outdoor seating space - with heaters when it's chilly. Lovely view of the water.
Krishna PamulapatiMarch 30, 2014Start with mavericks amber ale, fish with onion rings, then mavericks IPA , garlic fries, end with beermasu dessert
Bob SouleSeptember 22, 2019I’m not sure who outnumbered who, the tourists or the wasps buzzing around the tables. The food was ok, service was slow but, like I said, the wasps were plentiful.
HeatherDecember 19, 2012Delicious cerviche and the stout was amazing! Great service and an overall good time :)
Heather LampertOctober 14, 2012Great food with a great atmosphere!! Open seating in the bar with lots of TVs for Sunday football.
The ceviche sampler is unbelievably good. The bit that looks like tomato salsa is tuna and is amazing.
Kireau KendrickSeptember 30, 2011sit outside around one of the firepits with strangers and strike up a conversation while sipping your brew. fun!
Laura SantamariaMay 17, 2013Calamari was yummy, hubby said the beer tunnel top pale ale was delicious, it really smells like weed HA!
