We live near by and it is a unique place with two bars and light food stand. Outside seating with fireplaces and semi inside. Good selection of mixed drinks featuring their liquors and also half bottle wines give the right amount of wine. It is mostly outdoor and the coast side can get breezy so go there with warm clothes. Great surf type beach vibe. Go there first to get drinks then hit many of the restaurants near by for good meals. read more

This is a great little spot to just hang out and relax while enjoying some great libations. This location has one of the best gins I've had in a long while, the Coastal Gin. It's an open seating spot with a lot of seats available, both indoors and outdoors. They have a full bar available and some great food. I was really tempted to get the Grilled Peaches which everyone seemed to be ordering and had an amazing aroma. I, however, did get the apple pie and loved it. read more

Solid 4 out of 5 First and foremost, seating feels awkward. Could definitely come up with a better system or at least have employees letting wandering souls know to sit anywhere. Better signage maybe? Maybe I'm blind? I don't know. It was also weird how there's two different window serving two different menu's and one doesn't even sell their own gin even though they have gin cocktails. Weird. But with that said! Cocktails were really good and unique. Food was super tasty! Although I wish there were some simpler kid options. The satay did the job for the kids though. Vibe was fun. Lots of dogs. People didn't mind (too much) that our Husky was noisy. read more

Visited on a Saturday around 2:30pm, space was fairly busy, most tables and seats in the front patio were taken, with a few spots inside the bar and on the side of the bar. Got in line to place my order which was fairly quick maybe 4 guest ahead of me and took about 5-10 minutes to place my order. Drinks were prepped and served after ordering and food orders came with a buzzer to pick up from the kitchen when ready maybe a 10-15minute wait. Drinks: West Point - cocktail had a solid balance of acidity and sweetness with subtle flavors from the gin, lemon forward with subtle pineapple flavor wished this had a touch more pineapple but a personal preference Food: Tlayudita - a small plate with a crispy corn tortilla base that's about 6" in diameter topped with savory creamy refried beans, salsa and tomatillo which added a nice heat along with tangy refreshing bright acidity, chewy strips of queso oaxaca, creamy crema that added richness and cilantro, a great starter Service was good, easy ordering at the register and pick up from the food window, asked for napkins and utensils at the food window, water was self serve. Live band playing was fun and really added to the ambiance, several fire pits are set up around the distillery so definitely a great spot to relax with a drink and snack in half moon bay. Overall enjoyed jettywave a nice spot to enjoy a cocktail and a snack, would definitely come back to try more of the menu nice variety of drinks and solid food menu to choose from. Worth a visit post beach in Half moon bay. read more

Food ok Service good Ambiance good First off the drinks were excellent. The bartender was pretty nice and helpful of what to choose. The food was OK lacking some flavor and serving was pretty small for the price. Ambience was nice. If I was in the area again, I would pass by for some drinks. read more

I'm not an alcohol drinker by any means, but Jettywave's gin and cocktails are so darn good and easy to drink that I convert just for them. Their botanical gin is incredibly fragrant and their cocktails strike the perfect balance of flavor profiles. Besides their great cocktails, they also serve a yummy menu of international flavors. They have limited indoor seating as well as a cute outdoor area with bonfires. They get bonus points from me for being dog-friendly. I definitely recommend if you're a fan of gin or craft cocktails. read more

One of the trendiest spots in Half Moon Bay, just steps from the beach. We came here for brunch on a beautiful sunny Saturday -- a little chilly, but they had the firepits going, which made it cozy and perfect. The whole place gives off super chill, lazy weekend morning vibes. The food was as creative as it was beautiful -- definitely Instagram-worthy. My salad was outstanding, fresh and flavorful, and the flourless chocolate cake caught my eye... glad I tried it, because I'd honestly come back just for that. The space itself is a win: spacious outdoor seating, dog-friendly, and a lovely indoor setup too. Overall, Jettywave is the kind of spot that makes Half Moon Bay weekends feel special. Perfect for: brunch with friends after a beach walk. read more

Another fantastic afternoon at Jettywave!! So relaxing, we enjoyed some of their creative delicious cocktails and IPAs. More choices for the designated drivers would be great. The food is amazing, anything you try is guaranteed to be good. We got the shishitos and they were so yummy! The ambiance here cannot be beat! We love enjoying the ocean air and the beautiful plants all around and seeing the adorable dogs people bring. It's one of our very favorite spots, highly recommend!! read more

I didn't get a chance to attend the Yelp event they had for this place but I heard great things and had to check it out. This place is spacious and has lots of seating outdoors as well as indoor spots. They have bourbon and they also have a few other spirits. Their specialty is gin. I tried the One Wet Nob and it was tasty! Amazing and fragrant with the herbal deliciousness. The foods were also sooo amazing! Loved the refreshing take on the Moroccan salas and the South African Bobotie was rich and flavorful. This came with coconut rice. I want to have this again. It was so yummy. The sliced almonds and crunchy topping hit the spot and added complexity to this dish. It's dog friendly. Staff were nice as well. They don't have many restrooms so that can be a bit of an issue with a wait. Otherwise, cool spot! read more

Enjoyable experience. Plenty of seating outdoors with fire heat lamps and a covered indoor for tastings and merch. We tried a few dishes, including butternut squash soup and the Japanese pumpkin curry, which had good flavor. I wish portion sizes were a bit larger, but I guess we were here for the distillery with food as the added bonus. The spirits themselves were great, so I recommend the cocktails and flights (I got the Marine Layer). Service is mainly order at the bar and pick up yourself to bring to your table, but overall nice. read more

Came here for a private event and really enjoyed ourselves. The drinks and the food were really great. The bartenders are kind of slow though and weren't too friendly. The outdoor vibe is great - lots of seating, with heaters and fire pits. Would definitely come back again if I'm in HMB. read more

We came by for drinks after a walk along the bay and it was a very comfortable outdoor spot.

They had food offerings too but we didn't get any. The people there were so friendly and efficient too! read more

Jettywave Distillery - Old fashioned and Marina later - Distilleries Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

Umm mixed feels about this place. Confusing at first, because it's not clear how "things" work here. If you see an open table, grab it or have someone from your party sit there as you walk straight back to the bar area and order drinks. They will then explain that you order and pay for drinks separately from the food and beer truck. Nice that they are very dog friendly here. The food that we did try was cute- nice use of pre-prepped ingredients for the Meze plate and all the little salads were good. Just hard to navigate, order the drinks, walk over to order food, sit down if lucky to get a table, back to check on the drinks and someone needs to get the food that is ready. We didn't sit together for a while as one had to sit with the dogs so we didn't lose the table. Didn't try any of the spirits. We wouldn't come back unless staying within walking distance. read more

We stopped by on a chilly Saturday afternoon for lunch. There was plenty of outdoor sitting in the dog friendly patio. We didn't order drinks, but enjoyed their delicious food. They have vast menu options for all the taste buds. There was an employee raking the patio while we ate which caused dust to go everywhere, but otherwise we had a pleasant experience. read more

Such a fun spot with delicious cocktails! Stopped by after lunch with a group of 5. The staff is so friendly and attentive! I love how they have card games and plenty of fire pits. Between our group, we ordered: the perfect matcha, humpback migration, harbormaster's old fashioned, marine layer, messed up margarita, mezze platter, antipasto platter. My favorite was the messed up margarita with mezcal! They don't offer your traditional bar food so you won't find nachos, fries, and chicken strips here. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Food here is absolutely amazing! We found Jettywave via a Yelp event a few weeks ago. So glad we discovered this gem. We lunched here while walking the Pillar Point bluffs. Detoured mid-walk for lunch. I had Panang curry chicken and my wife had the South African bobotie. The bobotie is some of the best curry I've ever eaten! read more

Must stop if you are in Half Moon Bay! From the drinks to the vibes, this distillery was literally SO impressive. I don't explore Half Moon Bay often but after experiencing this spot, I need to frequent more. I love the indoor/outdoor concept. You can cozy up outside next to a firepit or grab a seat at the bar and watch the bartenders hand craft these tasty cocktails. We had a group of 4 + a pup on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't super busy, so we had the flexibility to sit anywhere. We opted for a firepit spot near the entrance. We ordered at the bar and they were kind enough to bring our drinks out to us. It gave beer garden vibes, a cocktail garden if you will. I started with the coffee martini, absolutely tasty. I also had the marine layer and I can't even describe how good it was. I stopped myself at two drinks but trust, I could've kept going. Although, I didn't have a bite here, I was surprised to see such elevated food at a distillery. Very unique menu and everything looked and smelled delicious as it was coming out. You cannot put a price on drinks this good. They were also playing great music the entire time. I can't wait to come back! read more

Was introduced to Jettywave at a recent Yelp event and stumbled upon its main store during a weekend visit to Half Moon Bay! We had cocktails over some live music which was super fun and the perfect little getaway for Sunday to relax. Afterwards, boyfriend really want to try the gins so we also added on a tasting (6 tips of your choice). My personal favorite was the single malt which starts off grassy but finishes nutty with just the barest bit of bitterness. It was unique in my opinion and very pleasant. I also enjoyed the grain spirit which is a bit sweeter with deep caramel notes and the coffee liqueur which has a beautiful floral espresso note to start and finishes nicely. Boyfriend liked the gins and small batch bourbon the best...so luckily that meant we liked the whole flight overall haha. I wanted to pick up the cocktail kit as a gift but sadly they had no more stock sans the display one which had a peeling label. Super unfortunate! Regardless the atmosphere at Jettywave was great and I'm sure it would be loads more fun with sunny weather so I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Kimberlee from Jettywave was amazing to work with when I rented a semi-private area for my 30th birthday. She was super responsive and answered all my questions leading up to the event, which made the planning process easy. During the party, she checked in and helped with whatever we needed, from getting the cake ready to making sure everything was running smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend to have your event here, the service was exceptional and I can't wait to keep coming back as a regular patron! read more

We stopped by Jettywavea whim last month and my husband got the Harbor masters old fashioned and I got the humpback migration. Both were delicious!! They have plenty of different seating options with most having a heating element close by. We brought our two young kids who entertained themselves with the communal games. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing is they are pretty pricey. Almost $40 for two drinks with tip. We will still be back as we loved the atmosphere and the drinks were very good. read more

Sweet distillery serving up liquor flights, craft cocktails, and food. As soon as we walked up we were greeted by an employee that gave us the low down - liquor flights and cocktails inside the tasting room, food outside in one of the stands (though could order anywhere), and guest cocktail takeover in another outside stand. We opted for inside to do the liquor flights, though we'll definitely sit outside next time to enjoy one of the many fire pits. They had 3 different liquor flight options, 2 that were set and one build your own, all raiding in the $13-$16 range. I went with the build your own and tried two each of their moonshines, vodkas, and gins. The honey moonshine was my favorite of all. After the flight (they were small pours - perfect for tasting), I switched to a craft cocktail and went with the one wet nob. Liked my cocktail, and a bunch of the other ones on the menu sounded great. Wasn't easy picking which to get. Inside seating consisted of bar or some high tops, while outside was a lot of four top table, chairs around fire pits, and even a few table with fire pits built in. We had a slightly different experience here as the power went off about 5 minutes after we arrived, but the team thought fast and made it possible to still enjoy just about everything they had to offer. Excited to come back here and enjoy a cocktail in the "bonfire lounge". read more

I fell in love with this distillery! Not only are the drinks good, all factors of ambience, music, interior and games are on point. There are indoor and outdoor dining available. There is tasting menu to try different alcohol and shots. There are many choices of nicely crafted cocktails. My favorite is definitely the Marine Layer. We also tried a dessert crumble. But I believe you can also dine and order meals as well. This is a lovely place to bring friends or dates. There are many board games and jenga available as well. Highly recommend this place! read more

This is a great venue for events. I had my welcome dinner there, the space was surprisingly spacious, and the food was extremely good, especially for a buffet service. I had many compliments from my guest about the quality and taste of the food. Kim was also extremely helpful from inquiry to day of event. The drinks were also amazing, which was not surprising given award winning liquor that they have. We even bought a bottle for the next day's wedding ceremony. read more

JettyWave is open on Easter Sunday! The live musician was just setting up to start playing as l was leaving. I had the Shrimp salad with Peanut Sauce and my friend had the Lobster bisque. We sat outdoors and the weather was just perfect. I wanted to support JettyWave since the San Mateo County Harbor District forced The restaurant (KetchHMB) to close a few weeks ago, just as the weather was starting to warm up! (This Restaurant has great vibes and food as well, and is an excellent alternative!) read more

Great outdoor patio and very tasty hand crafted cocktails. Would definitely return next trip to HMB.

Having previously attended a Yelp Elite event at Jettywave, I was so impressed that I couldn't wait to come back! My friends and I decided to venture to Half Moon Bay for a hike, so it was the perfect opportunity to bring them to Jettywave to grab some food and drinks. We arrived around 4pm on Saturday and it was pretty full! Lucky for us, we were able to snag the last parking spot in the lot out back. There was a private event going on in one section, but we were able to find a large table inside, which was perfect for our party of six. It would have been nice to sit by a firepit, but it was getting chilly and not conducive for eating in my opinion. We ended up having two rounds of drinks and tried an assortment of food. I started with the Messed Up Margarita, which was perfectly balanced and refreshing. I also had the Humpback Migration, which packed a punch! The serrano pepper was surprisingly spicy, but I enjoyed it! I sampled my other friends' drinks too, including The Marine Layer and The Perfect Matcha! Both were delicious! I ordered a cup of the lobster bisque and wild mushrooms over polenta for my entree. While the flavor of the bisque was spot on, the temperature was luke warm, at best. It definitely needed to be hotter! The mushrooms were absolutely amazing though! They were seasoned well and served over a bed of creamy polenta. My friends also ordered the beef curry, penang curry, pozole and beef kofte. I tried a bite of the pozole and thought it was delicious! That was served piping hot, I just wanted to add. Everyone in my party enjoyed their cocktails and food! We also had the mezze platter, which was great for sharing. This place has the best food of any brewery/distillery that I've been to! The people in my party kept raving how good everything was and how cute the place was! I'm so glad everyone had a great time!!! read more
