It was very much like a buoy. Received wrong beverage and no one checked in to take an order so I left and went elsewhere. The one bartender seemed distracted and patrons would have to holler at him by name to get any table service while perhaps that was the owner who wandered off... and to think the place was relatively empty. This is how a business loses a 1st time visitor and local beer drinking pool playin' patron. Sad to see businesses operate this way. 🫣

Google maps says you’re open till 10 p.m. I stopped by at 7p and you were closed. Please update your winter hours here. I’ll be happy to remove my comment. Thanks

No longer a restaurant, only a dilapidated bar with a few (possibly 8) intoxicated locals. No lights on to light up the walk way/entrance, we gad to use our cell phones. We went there based on reviews. Honestly, it looks like it'd be a PRIME target for the BAR RESCUE show. Sad, really sad --- but could be something again, with the right effort.

Sign on door and Google maps listing says open Sunday until 10pm. Fully closed and no lights on with not a soul to be seen at 8pm.
Probably call ahead if you want to eat here.

Brian's Buoy Bar is a great place to go and have a good cocktail or an ice cold beer and the quick food menu is tasty too,as a local I love it when I get to spend time there, it's like Cheers..sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.

Advertised on Facebook to come and celebrate New Years Eve. So we went there at about 9:45 pm. My husband paid for about eleven songs in the jutebox, and at 10:00 p.m., they turned off the jukebox and came over and told my husband to drink his drink or they were going to poor it down the drain because they were closing. I was the designated driver for the night, so he guzzler it down. We asked them why they were closing early on New Years Eve, and we were told that they close at 10:00pmperiod. They were open until midnight the year before. There were at least twenty people they kicked out. Disappointed for sure

This is where the hard-core locals of Morro Bay hang out. The service can be slow but it's friendly and sincere. I was happy to hear a lot of ska music on the jukebox.

Came by to eat dinner 8p. This place was closed already!!!! 2 people at bar inside with bartender, no signs on!!!! We used maps, said open til 10p, and gave a 4.7. Wow !!!! I've eaten at this exact place two other times different restaurants that didn't make it and had great food!!!! When this is how you attend to your Business, it's to be expected to Not make it!!!!
Surprised at the reviews I see for here. My experience was completely different.The service was awful. I had to keep walking to the other end of the bar to get attention from a barman who was not busy, but talking to a woman. He would serve us then walk back to the other end of the bar.Really didn't care for the atmosphere of the place either. Very open, stark, with pool tables. Felt more like a diner than a comfy place to come for drink and conversation. Not a place I could come to relax.My opinion.

We didn't go to eat just a pitstop to check it out. Very nice, clean and spacious. Very friendly regulars and person working was very friendly not sure if he was owner but none the less enjoyed this place.
It's a great place to play pool
