Port O'Pints Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Crescent City

I was appalled at the small town feeling in Crescent City, Ca. Port of Pints. I had been there a few times previously, but today 09/5/25, My husband and I were there talking to a man who shared his recent experience his school reunion plus other other subjects. We had a good time and I was introduced to a few other regular patrons. At the time that person left, he said goodbye to everyone. My husband & I said goodbye, but others next to us would not even look his way.. then the MINUTE that man left, everyone, including the bartender trashed that man in every way. They degraded him, told how he acted other nights and what info he shared with the patrons where everyone in the area could hear and It was HORRIBLE. When he had left he said 'good bye" and none of those people even looked at him.. I gave an obvious disapproving look. My husband and I said Goodbye and when we left, those same people plus the Bartender said Goodbye to my husband, not me. At that point, I repeated "Goodbye Chris" who was my husband. I know some of the people because I was introduced to them. (names not mentioned). I feel the Bartender, ( who worked 9/5/25 at 1400) had a large part to play in this gossip and bashing. I know I was talked about when I left. This is unacceptable and I will...

I was very excited to visit here. I researched the best places in Crescent City before my trip here. This came up as one of the best. Unfortunately my experience was less than ideal. Upon walking in, we were not greeted, we stood at the bar for approximately 7 minutes. During this time we were never acknowledged. I witnessed both cooks in the back prepping food without masks or gloves, one even pulled money out of his pocket and handled it while prepping food. Another couple walked in several minutes after we had been there. They appeared to be friends with staff as one of the kitchen staff came out and made small talk. The female bartender served them before acknowledging our presence. The male bartender was likewise inattentive and never acknowledged our presence either. Unfortunately that was enough for me to take my money elsewhere. I was very excited to visit this establishment, it’s truly unfortunate that the service was terrible. I was very...

Its very close knit bar and brewery between the ownership and its patrons. You'll find this place has a more cozy community feel. By contrast, the other brewery in town SeaQuake, is more touristy, more wide open, and more corporate feeling. Port O'Pints has a food menu, but its very limited in choices and is not available every day. They do allow you to bring in food, or have it delivered. There is live music here.

The craft beer here is as good as those offered at SeaQuake, but seems to be more creative. Port O'Pints seems to enjoy more artisan freedom whereas SeaQuake tends to limit itself towards what beer sells better. Port O'Pints offers more seasonal releases than SeaQuake.

By contrast, the food offered at Port O'Pints is not as good as that at SeaQuake. Port O'Pints tends to look and taste as if cheap ingredients were just thrown together. I'd recommend having the local Thai delivery, its actually a popular...
