11 Best Beer Bars near Half Moon Bay

“Great entertainment, good adult beverages!“

“Can't believe I haven't left my praises for this place!
Hands-down best wine bar in the Peninsula! Amazing selection, wines for all palates, beginners, vinos, and wine nerds alike. Staff is amazing, super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The flights are super fun and great to expand your palate. And if you study the wine list closely, you'll find some bottles priced at a steal! This has quickly become my go-to spot and it will become yours soon!“

“This has to be one of the best pizza spots in San Mateo. I never would have thought that butter chicken and pizza would work well together but I will happily stand corrected. The pizza was flavorful and made me want to go back for more. This business will see me again for SURE.“

“Great atmosphere and brews.“

“Nice all the time“

“This place is wonderful! I've tried almost everything on the menu, standout items are xiaolongbao, fresh cucumber salad, zha-jiang noodles, and spicy wontons. All of the vegetable dishes are good, but the spicy green beans are my favorite. I live in the neighborhood so I go every week, one of the best places in linda mar.“

“I had the North Shore sandwich. It was delicious! The portions here are generous, you will not leave hungry. I’m looking forward to returning and trying one of the salads, they looked incredible. Definitely check Beach Hut Deli out when you are in the area.“

“Just grabbed a bite at Humble Sea Brewery — insanely good. I started with the Power Bowl with chicken, then ordered a hot dog, which was next-level delicious. Also had a few glasses of Boogie Board Night — really solid beer.

Highly recommend this place. I sat at the bar — super friendly, chill bartenders, great vibe, great service. Awesome spot all around.“

“I've been dining at Twelvemonth for a long time, so I was pretty surprised when they rolled out the whole “prix fixe only in the dining room” policy earlier this year. The reality was simple: if you didn't want the prix fixe, you were pushed into the lounge with tiny tables, while the main dining room sat half-empty. The messaging around it — “smooth service,” “elevated experience,” etc. — didn't match what was actually happening. It just felt like an unnecessary divide. I voiced my concerns at the time, and clearly I wasn't the only one, because I'm happy to see the policy has now been completely reversed. No more forced prix fixe, no more segregation by menu choice. Everyone can dine in the main room again, which is exactly how it always used to be. The dining room is one of the best parts of this restaurant — warm, spacious, beautifully designed — and it never made sense to treat it like exclusive territory. I'm genuinely glad they listened to their customers and restored things to normal. Food is still great, and with this change, the overall experience finally lines up with what made Twelvemonth special in the first place.“

“Excellent selection of sushi 🍣“

“is truly a special place. Every visit is a great experience from start to finish. The food is consistently amazing—creative, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—and the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. What really says it all is that my dad, who is not vegan, absolutely loves this place. That alone speaks volumes. And for me and my wife, it's one of our favorite spots—we enjoy it every single time. Please keep all the good things going. Incredible food, amazing atmosphere, and an experience that keeps us coming back. 🌱✨“
