We didn't expect much in this area because we were coming from the somewhat industrial looking side, but decided we wanted to look for a brewery. We googled and ended up trying this place out. Because of the weather, we didn't think there would be anyone else in here and didn't have super high hopes. We were so wrong! When we entered, there was a duo playing live music. They were enjoyable to listen to. There were also quite a few people in there of all ages and seemingly, different walks of life--always a fun thing to see. I ordered a flight and every beer on it was nice and crispy cold--the only way to enjoy beer in my opinion. And the flavors of every one were so impressive. We both love beer and are very impartial to our own local breweries in the town we live in--but coming here made me wish this was in our town! My husband ordered a pint of Sea Wolf and he really enjoyed that. I had the Love Boat on my flight which sounded intriguing to me. It was SO GOOD. It was an ill Ali eery and graham cracker sour. I'm not always a sour lover, but it was the perfect balance. I would say that and the Sea Wolf were my favorites. The gal working, Lauren, was incredibly sweet. We asked for some local suggestions of places she liked for food, drinks, etc. and she was really helpful--gave us lots of great insight. She also chatted with us about her dog and ours...overall just really cool vibes. This will definitely be a go-to spot on all our future visits to the HMB area!

My fiance was not a fan of the table that they sat me at while he parked the car so when he came in he asked if we could switch. They were more than happy to accommodate and we got a new table facing the ocean view window, but not next to it, because those are reservation only, completely understandable. Our server came by and was very friendly and took our order immediately. We decided to start with the poached shrimp cocktail and for our mains we ordered the pesto stuffed salmon with wild rice and the citrus beet salad with chicken added. After we finished our appetizer the hostess came by to kindly request we switch tables as they had a large party coming in. She took us over to a beautiful table right next to the window with an amazing view of the ocean! We were super thrilled! Our food came shortly after and I have to say the salmon was impeccably delicious. The assortment of fresh vegetables was wonderful, artichoke hearts, string beans, carrots and more cooked beautifully. My fiance really enjoyed his grilled chicken over the top of his beet and citrus salad. We actually switched plates for a bit because we wanted to enjoy each other's meals. We ended the meal with a cup of coffee that was strong bold and just my type. We also had the mango coconut a top buttery biscuit dessert and it was the perfect sweetness to end our meal. We had an unbelievable experience on a super busy holiday and everyone was so kind. The whole team worked together flawlessly. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!

They have a great mix of fresh, local beers from hazy IPAs to lagers to sours and West Coast IPAs as well as wines and N/A drinks. Dog friendly outside, and kid friendly with tables and a long bar.

They have rotating food vendors, we had a bomb smashburger. And parking was really easy.

Overall, having dinner at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company was a really good experience…read more The staff at the hostess stand were a little cranky when we asked if we could sit next to the glass overlooking the water. It was early and there were plenty of open tables, so I'm not sure what the issue was. It felt like they weren't particularly interested in being accommodating. They did let us move, and I'm so glad they did because the view was beautiful! Sitting by the water really enhanced the experience. We had a great waiter, and the food was delicious. They were out of the grilled artichoke, which was disappointing, but we ordered the poke instead--and we were so glad we did because it was amazing! We also ordered the truffle fries, which were such a treat. The grilled fish tacos were my favorite. There were two tacos, and they were much larger than expected, with big chunks of fish and excellent flavor. I always order clam chowder when I'm on the coast, and unfortunately, I'm usually disappointed. I decided to order just a cup this time, and I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't the best chowder I've ever had, but it was solid. It had a good ratio of clams, was nice and thick, and had good flavor. I have mixed feelings about the drinks. The Aperol Spritz was really delicious, but the Old Fashioned was extremely strong. Some people may like it that way, but it was too strong for me--and I usually love an Old Fashioned. The drinks also took forever to arrive. I don't think that was our waiter's fault because he was hustling, checking on us regularly, and we didn't have any delays with our food or anything else. It may have been an issue at the bar. Overall, I would highly recommend Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. It's an easy walk from the Oceano, where we were staying, and it has a yummy, relaxed vibe. The beautiful water views, great food, and laid-back atmosphere made it a really enjoyable dinner. I can't believe I forgot to add the flourless chocolate cake, it was amazingly decadent.

We've driven past this spot a dozen times and finally decided to stop, what a little gem…read more Solid burger and fries, excellent shake- and then such a pleasant area to eat and enjoy the Half Moon Bay air. And they really seem to pay attention to little details- like fresh flowers on outdoor tables, that's something I will forgive a lot of negatives for, but there were no negatives to forgive. Price is not cheap, the food is quality, it's also not overly expensive, it's fairly priced. They also have beer and wine. I mentioned the burgers, my partner actually got the vegetarian patty which was really earthy and didn't taste like typical garden burger garbage, not sure if it's made in house, but it was good. Also, the fries were better than average. You place your order at the counter so not too much interaction with staff, I did ask about shake recommendations and my shake was yummy so they knew their stuff- but this isn't a restaurant experience designed around customer service and that's okay. All around good spot. Enjoy.

I've eaten at The Barn many times over the last couple of years and have always enjoyed it. Today,…read moreunfortunately was very disappointing. The food was good as usual. The service and cleanliness were the issues. I arrived with my wife and our 2 year old grandson for an early lunch and walked in about 11:01. Yelp said they open at 11am so I had no reason to think that would be an issue. The young woman at the register, whose name I did not get, seemed to be somewhat in charge as she was asking other employees to do certain things. I ordered when she was ready and went out to the patio table areas where the kids play area is. My wife asked me to ask them if there was a pooper scooper because there were a couple piles of dog poop on the play area grass. I went back to the register and just let them know there was dog poop out by the tables on the grass. She said she knew and would have someone clean it up soon. I said thanks. As I walked out of the restaurant and past the outdoor pick up window I hear her say to the other workers "you know what I hate is when people get here before we open and start asking me to clean stuff up." First, I wasn't early. You were open. Second, it's a health issue and I felt I was very nice in how I kindly let you know there was an issue that you would probably want to address. So I return to the tables and start to realize how unkept and dirt the whole place really is. Please see the attached photos. Where I probably wouldn't have left a review or photos before, the rude and incorrect comment about me letting them know there was dog poop where kids play before they eat made me decide this deserved a review. Please see the attached photos. The cashier/manager? at the very least deserves significant retraining. Maybe a list needs to be made of specific tasks a staff member is responsible for every day before opening and that staff member would initial that they completed the tasks. You know... 1) check for and clean up all dog poop on site. 2) wipe down all tables and benches. 3) clean up all trash, including all little bits of food, napkins, pens, etc off the ground. 4) check all napkin dispensers that they are full and tops are on and they are in the same place on all tables. The poop photo is the last one listed. I couldn't seem to get it first in the list. I didn't take photos of everything (more poop and trash) because I hadn't yet decided I would write a review. But here it is.

Clam chowder was ok but came out warm, prefer hotter in temp. Chips were crunchy and had great seasoning. Ceviche was ok, shrimp didn't seem too fresh and flavor wasn't too citrusy.

Called the server about it who then called the manager. Manager was apologetic and offered us a new order, which we just took To-go. We would have rather chosen to get a refund.
