Great beers! Big space good for groups. Everyone really enjoyed the tater tots. They give you a lot in one order and it's a great snack to enjoy. I was a bit disappointed in the fish sticks. It was heavy on the breading, and not a lot of flavor. Next time, I'll stick to just beer and tots! read more

Humble Sea Brewing - Fish and tots - Beer Gardens Near Me - Pacifica, California

Stopped by here on a weekend with a friend as this had been a place another friend had been raving about when he was in Santa Cruz. Stopped in and saw there was an open table to hang out in with a couple on the other end, asked if we could sit on this side, and they said go right on ahead! It was a beautiful afternoon, and we ordered a couple of beers. I was a bit hungry and saw that they had tater tots, and I thought to myself, I haven't had this in a while! The tots came out super quick, and the beers did as well. There was a friendly puppy next to me who loved the tater tots and would jump up begging for food. It was cute, but the owners told him no more after a few free tots from us! The place itself is nice, there's a food truck if you want variety, and the beer selection is nice. A great place to hang out by the ocean and enjoy a nice beer at the end of the day or the weekend! read more

best dog dog friendly place ever + awesome beer selection that rotates and burger and tots are great + their salad too weekends are usually super packed but ordering from QR menu makes things easier as soon as you can grab a spot to sit down. staff is also always friendly and helpful as well. so happy to have this place in our neighborhood read more

Great beer and good food! The fish and chips was amazing, super fresh and delicious, the best I've had in ages! At first I thought tater tots were a strange go to instead of fries, but everything tasted great so I have no complaints. We sat outside in the sun, and the beer garden vibe was a little loud but really fun on a weekend. I love their Helles (super classic geman style!) and am excited to eat this tasty food again! read more

Surprisingly large seating area here and lots of beers to choose from. Grilled chicken sandwich: the bacon jam really makes this sandwich. Would definitely have this again. Tater tots came with the dish, so I got them spicy--and they were slightly spicy. Had a bite of my wife's mixed green salad. While pretty good I was happy with what I ordered. read more

I love humble sea & that's all you need to know ... lol fish & tots - 9/10 honestly slaps but I just wish there were fries instead burger - 10/10 amazing I have no words except that I'd rather have fries anyways I always get their beers at restaurants & taprooms & in cans where they're sold - the actual stores are an hour away from me so I rarely make a trek - but I guess I was craving the beach so I came by two weekends in a row (rip my gas) pretty packed on the weekends! (usually I only ever came here on a mental health day off from work) only a few tables under awnings outside & the picnic benches themselves don't have umbrellas so just be aware that you might roast in the sun dog friendly outside so lots of lil borky friends read more

This place has an incredible beer selection. The menu is very limited but everything we've tried was delicious. The grilled chicken sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. Great tots. My only issue is the chairs and general atmosphere are cold and not inviting. And I'm sorry, but I hate picnic tables which is the only option outside. Management is great, staff is super friendly. read more

Met up with friends for lunch and drinks here. I'm not normally much of an IPA drinker and that's mostly what they had on tap that day but I will drink hazy IPAs. They had multiple foggy IPAs so I asked the bartender what he recommended and he suggested I try the Socks & Sandals which is one of their signature beers. He also very nicely gave me a small sample of another one too for me to try and do a comparison. The beer was good, and I bought a couple of cans to take home from their takeout beer fridge. Was happy that they allow purchase of singles not just 4-packs. As for lunch, I got the burger since both of my friends highly recommended it. Added avocado. It was delicious. One of my friends added bacon to his, and the bacon also looked quite good too. I love that it came with tots. I like fries but I almost never finish them but for some reason I can demolish tots. The spicy seasoning on it had a surprising kick that built up over time. There's the option to get non-spicy for folks who can't handle the heat. I'm curious about the fish and tots too. My other friend said their salad is also great so she ordered that as her side to be a little healthier, especially since she knew she could eat some of her husband's tots haha. My husband and I had been to Humble Sea a couple of times before when it first opened, and I think the quality of their food has stepped up quite a bit. (Not that it was bad before but I loved my meal this time.) They have a good sized outdoor seating area which was nice since that meant my friends could bring their dog who I love seeing. And it's super close to the beach! After we left, we took a very short walk to get to the beach and walked along the ocean for a bit. Not sure how crowded it gets parking-wise on a sunny weekend but it was super easy on a weekday afternoon. read more

Humble Sea continues to be one of my favorite places to hangout in Pacifica. Even though I don't come too often, each time I do feels like a treat. They have the best beers, beer names and can designs! The weather was perfect to grab a table outside and hang with the pup. The QR code on the tables and ordering online option make it very simple to get your food and drinks. The food menu is limited but the food we've had here has always been above average. Hubby got a hot dog and tots off the kids' menu. I got lobster from the food truck nearby. I decided to try three new beers during this visit so got the 5oz pours of each one. The Spritz Sea is a hard seltzer reminiscent of an Aperol Spritz. The New Sealand is a New Zealand Pilsner. The Raiders of the Lost Shark is a foggy IPA. I loved all three and love the names even more. Parking can be a challenge in this strip mall by the beach on the weekends. Nothing a little time and patience can't fix. read more

I really like this place, even though I'm not a beer drinker! They have other options (really enjoyed their ranch water to start, and then their rosé is decent/not too sweet). My husband loved their lagers. We both enjoyed the food- great quality, doesn't seem like your typical brewery Sysco food. We split the grilled chicken sandwich, which was my favorite. The service is via QR code, prompt, and everyone here seems really chill. read more

We brought our two puppies for a day out. Sat outside, enjoyed the food and 3 rounds each of beer. Other patrons near us socialized with our puppies and a few complemented them. A specific employee, older male, with pony tail mumbled something in the middle of our meal. After an hour our puppies were getting bored and barked at each other. The employee stated, they "Humble Sea" cannot have "that" and telling us we need to leave. Spending $100 for two, we were flabbergasted. There was no checking in, is everything okay, are your puppies okay, etc. Just told to leave. I was unhappy but chose the higher road to not respond, just leave. While we left. I also notice, we were the only non-anglo customers there. I really hope the establishment is open to everyone and does not discriminate against race or patrons with canine. The experience on Saturday was a definitely new to us and one employee's action will likely prevent our support and the sharing of our feedback with the community of Humble Sea. read more

We've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places that never disappoints. The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit feel easy and enjoyable. The food is consistently great, and the beer selection is solid--there's always something good to try whether you're in the mood for something light or more craft-forward. The vibe is relaxed and fun, perfect for hanging out with friends or just unwinding. They also have a great outdoor patio, which is a huge plus, and their trivia nights are always a good time. It's the kind of spot you keep coming back to without even thinking about it. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite brewery in Pacifica! They have a great space, although indoor capacity is somewhat more limited. You can ordered directly from your table. The beer variety is amazing, they also have cider and wine. Food options are limited but good. The tater tots are the best and the hot dog! Sometimes they have food trucks visit too. It can get busy during meal times but otherwise super easy to find parking and a table! read more

Humble Sea is a Pacific Coast staple with lots of locations up and down the coast. This location holds its own and lives up to expectations! We ordered a few of their classic brews and some burgers. This location has two different menus depending on whether you're there on Monday-Tuesday vs. the rest of the week. The Tuesday menu offers just burgers and hot dogs with tater tots. I was a bit disappointed when we were told the only way to order is via a QR code, but we made do and got our order in. Everything after that is table service, including the bussing! The tater tots have a great spicy seasoning, and the double patty smash burger is fantastic. I enjoyed the white cheese over the regular American. The pricing was pretty good, too! We enjoyed the food and beers here. They also have a fantastic merchandise selection with some truly unique items. We loved enjoying our meal outdoors in their large outdoor patio space with covered and uncovered seating options! Cheers! read more

Humble Sea Brewing has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I love the variety of beers and ciders they have available The menu is just as impressive. I ordered the fish and chips, my friend also ordered the fish and chips as well along with the hamburger and the hotdog plate. They were also kind enough to let us purchase a patty on the side for our dog . The food came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious. The staff was warm and friendly and knowledgeable with the beer, cider questions I had. The atmosphere really sets it apart too. Their outdoor patio is perfect for those relaxed evenings when you just want to unwind and hang out. Honestly, I'd recommend coming here over some of the other nearby spots, it's a great overall experience. read more

Friendly hostess & waitresses. Lots of seating inside & out. The fish & tots were really good. Originally asked for no seasoning assuming that it would be too spicy but it turned out to be ok. No complaints on the wings, it paired nicely with the sauces on the side. The food arrived really fast. *Parking can be hard to find, lot was completely full. read more

My affection for this place has definitely lessened over the last couple years. I used to have a bottle subscription for a while but cancelled it due to the cost and the aged beers essentially tasting all the same. We decided to give it another try and arrived on busy Saturday. The vibes and friendly atmosphere hasn't changed; however the west coast ipa I selected was somewhat muted and boring and the foggy dipa wasn't much better. The kook burger was very one note, and the Blta was unimpressive and overdressed. Sorry to say but I can get better brews and pub grub two blocks from my house read more

My first time going to this brewery. It wasn't busy when I went on a Friday night which I did not expect because I feel like people are usually out Friday night but assuming I came an hour before closing might've been the reason for it being empty. We were able to choose where we wanted to sit down. We got the seasoned tater tots with ketchup + aioli and two drinks (I forgot what we got LOL). I'm not really much of a brewery/beer person but I did like the drink I got. They gave a good amount of tater tots which my boyfriend and I were snacking on while we were drinking. I would probably come back to try more stuff on the menu since I had a good first experience. read more

One of my favorite breweries to enjoy hazy IPAs! This location has a pretty decent food selection. I very much enjoyed the fish and chips! Other humble sea locations do not have a kitchen on site and will have a selected food truck on site. Highly recommend this brewery! read more

Such a great place to get a meal and a drink when you're in Pacifica. I went to the Humble Sea Brewing location on the Santa Cruz pier a couple months ago and was so surprised to see they had a brewery location next to my favorite beach. I had the fish and chips with come with crispy and flavorful tater tots (a lot of it too). I paired it with a cider. When you go inside you can sit at any open table and order by scanning the QR code on the table. The drinks were brought out really quickly and the food came out soon after. Speedy service! It's in a shopping center so there's lots of parking. There's plenty of outdoor seating as well. read more

After a morning hike in San Francisco, my family and I drove south to Pacifica to have fish & chips at Humble Sea Brewing. There was no parking spots available in the lot so we parked in the neighborhood down the street. Initially it looked like it might be packed at lunch since the outdoor seating was busy but inside had plenty of seating. It turns out that people wanted to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather which is not always a given in Pacifica. My wife and I both ordered fish & chips with tater tots. Some of the best fish & chips I've had! My kids had a hot dog and burger which was a good deal for $8. I also ordered a pale ale while my wife had the citrus IPA. Both were easy to drink and went well with the lunch. Overall a great experience. read more

It was super fun to find out there was a Humble Sea Brewing location in walking distance to where we were staying in Pacifica. A stone's throw away and we were there with baby in tow. I went to the location on Alameda Island, but couldn't partake at the time :) How exciting to be able to try their fun brews! With catchy and clever brew names, a vibrant atmosphere, friendly servers, and super yummy burger & tots, I was in vacation heaven. Major shoutout to JOY who honestly made the night. You're amazing and thank you for literally spreading your joy! Hope you caught a great bundle of crabs with the kickoff to crab season on the coast! The tots to start are the way to go, followed by the Double Kook burger. That sesame seed bun was so fresh, meat juicy and perfectly cooked, and loved the simple yet efficient toppings (lettuce, housemade pickles, shreddie lettuce..). Brew wise, the Socks & Sandals Foggy IPA and Anchor's Edge West Coast Pale Ale hit the mark, we even grabbed a 4-pack to-go in the room adjacent. With a Warriors win and TVs to watch the sweet game, couldn't ask for more. Make a note to check the happy hour deals and discounts on select drafts! This spot is in a busy shopping center, but ample parking spots. Kid friendly, dog friendly too! read more

Humble Sea consistently makes good craft beer so a visit here is worthy. Add to that a great food menu and indoor / outside seating and you have a winner. Dog friendly outside seating with tent covers to help with the wind or weather is a nice touch. The burgers, sandwiches and mostly the tater tots are super tasty with the beer. They also have trivia on certain nights. I will definitely come back when I'm in the Bay Area. read more

There's nothing humble about Humble Sea Brewing shamelessly demanded 20% gratuity without service being rendered at first. Tips are EARNED, not entitled, certainly not prepaid for service not yet received. When we stepped in, the long blonde haired man offered to give us a menu but he never delivered it. You order from a bar code, an online menu that asked you to pay first with a mandatory 20% tip. We should've walked out in that moment, yet stupidity got the best of us. We ordered but opted out tips thinking we will pay it accordingly should we receive good service. The good service never came. As soon as they found out we didn't tip, their attitude dropped. Service became partial and petty. They served first to the table who came later than us. They performatively brown-nosed the white clan but poker-facedly ignored us. It was intentional and pathetic. I was glad we didn't pay gratuity upfront otherwise I'll be more upset. :) Bear in mind their audacity comes from expectation of forced tipping and a non existent service including you fetch your own water. Does the coerced forcing part remind you what happened a few years ago in the world? If you succumb to their tipping tyranny, you might get some insincere service; if you don't, you'll see their @#%$ faces plus delayed food and absent utensils. Oof! Now the food, I ordered a salad and it tasted yucky! Hard and dry croutons offered no pleasure in consuming as I was constantly wary of their irregular, sharp edges that might harm my gums. Bacon bits were dry too. Nothing to rave about the food. Giving the S@#ty service, we will never come back. Try another burger place called Burger Board a few doors down in the same plaza, I bet they won't charge you 20% tips up front. A tip paid in advance is like "a box of chocolate" in movie Forrest Gump, you never know what you gonna get. It's also very mafia like. I do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone at all. read more

Stopped in after a day at the beach and ordered the fish and chips, which came with tater tots instead of the usual fries. The fish had a nice, crispy fry, and the tots were cooked well; golden and crunchy. That said, I wish both the fish and tots had a bit more flavor; they were a little on the bland side. Overall, a decent post-beach bite, but nothing that really stood out. read more

Always a good time, regardless the taproom location. I've now been to all of the Humble Sea locations, and I've gotta say they have some of the most friendly staff across the board. Beers are always fantastic and it was nice to see them completely full for their trivia night. They seem to have a devout following, which is well deserved. We didn't get any food today, but from what we saw being served we might be back tomorrow for lunch! Solid selection of beers to choose from, and most all draft options were available in cans as well. Arcade cabinets in the back where the merch & beer to-go lives were a huge plus too. read more

A local gem with friendly and fast service. A great spot to be outdoors and chat with friends.

Fresh ingredients for salads and sandwiches! Tots come a tiny bit spicy by default, but I love 'em. Bring layers if you wanna sit outside. FAST SERVICE! If you sit outside with your dog like me, you'll appreciate being able to get your drink order in immediately via QR code, and then order the delicious food of the day at your leisure. (Remember, limited menu Mondays and Tuesdays, details on website.) WARM ATMOSPHERE! If you don't have a dog with you, the inside seating is warm and friendly. The liveliness varies with number of people (can get busy here esp. on weekends), but whoever's there seems to be having a good time. The surf vibe is palpable. There are TWO surf shops currently in operation in the same shopping strip, with one - Discovery - boasting a sauna and hot showers for after your surfing adventure!) BEER LOVERS REJOICE! Well-crafted fresh brews abound. Ales and IPS in various forms lead, but good pilsners and others (I love Smiley's Amber). Not a place for mixed drinks. WORTH A DRIVE! There's a beach nearby to walk on, and other hiking trails nearby, both north and south. Great for everything from a special lunch break to a casual party of order-what-you-want-when-you-want for you and friends, the Pacifica taproom by Humble Sea is a winner!!! read more

After trying another brew pub in the same area that had mediocre beer and terrible service, we thought we would try humble sea as honestly, our day couldn't have gotten much worse. What an amazing place! We were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who ushered us to one of the outside tables in the shade, just as we wanted. In case you don't know, you order everything through a QR code or the website, and they bring you your food and drink. It's really prompt and the service is pleasant and friendly and they do come around several times to make sure you are not having problems with the app and that don't need anything else. For pub food the food is spectacular - the chicken sandwich was huge with fresh chicken, sautéed onions, a bit of bacon bits and a fresh brioche roll. It is one of the best chicken sandwiches I have had in a long time. I'm not a big fan of tater tots, but these were good - I find tater tots often to be way too greasy, but these were just right and nice and spicy. The cauliflower hummus was a nice surprise with fresh toasty bread and an assortment of vegetables. I didn't think I would love it, but I did. And the beer! We had the rye IPA and the passionfruit mai tai and they were both excellent. I would give the Rye a bit of an edge over the mai tai but not much. Best part is you can get 5, , 12 or 16 ounces so you can mix and match or have a flight of beer if you choose. The place is spotless and plenty of room indoors and out. Glad we found it and we'll be back! read more
