Barnacles is one of those spots you end up at way longer than planned—and I’m not mad about it. It’s just steps from the beach, super casual and definitely has that divey local vibe… but the food is actually really good. Like, I love their pho, the teriyaki bowl and of course dive bar staples, chicken strips, tacos etc—and everything hits.

But the real reason I keep coming back? The bartenders. Both Alexis’, Rachael, Alex, and of course Rainey—they always take care of you, heavy pours and great energy. It’s giving lowkey beach bar with hot bartender energy. You know the type.

It’s not fancy, it’s not trying to be—it’s just a fun, chill spot with good food and even better drinks. I’ll definitely be back… probably in flip flops and ordering pho with a tequila soda. Don’t judge me.

Methed out old perv doing Trivia on Monday Nights. We watched him set up his phone secretly recording himself with customers. He'd walk by, touch or "tap" them & then act like he didn't. Attempted to follow my gf into the restroom & called her a dyke when she told him off. Wtf.

Great dive bar a block from Pacific Oceam

Great ambiance, can’t wait to go back.

WOMEN PLEASE BEWARE! barnacles staff is not safe for women. on January 18th, I went to barnacles with a group of friends. they have two single use restrooms which required by law (AB 1732) are all gender restrooms.

the women’s restroom was occupied. so i went to the other single use restroom available which was a men’s room. a member of the staff @ barnacles— (he was hispanic and roughly around 5’5 in height) came into the restroom I was in while I was unbuttoning my pants and pulling them down. he pulled me out by the back of my jacket, and out of the restroom because I was using a men’s restroom— that isn’t compliant with code signage, and is in fact gender neutral.

this is illegal in california (AB 1782) which barnacles is NOT compliant with, and has staff members that will quite literally follow women like myself into a single use restroom.. that legally is GENDER NEUTRAL and physically pull you out and not allow you to use. I felt violated, I felt embarrassed. when he came in and pulled me out, he said “NO” “you cannot be in here” “you know that” “you are not allowed”.

every women should be aware of this danger when entering barnacles— that they have staff that will not stop at anything and enter into restrooms that are in use, to physically enforce this illegal practice.
