Old Princeton Landing Public House and Grill — Restaurant in Half Moon Bay

What a great bar! We walked over there after a wedding Nextdoor at Maverick house. Everyone was friendly and by the end of the evening, everyone at the bar was talking to everyone at the bar! There were no strangers, only new friends.

I don’t drink mostly anymore…(migraines) But I was sorely tempted by the Guinness. The chicken wings were spicy, which I love.

Most excellent evening and I’m glad I discovered this bar

It's just the right size, the stage is well-constructed, the sound is great no matter where you're sitting or standing, the fence keeps the ocean breezes at bay, there's a nice, but smaller, bar out there as well. The only thing that can be a challenge, especially on a busy night, is the bathroom situation - just one for guys and one for gals and they are both small, so there is a wait there in the hallway pretty much at all times. These days, though, I'm a big fan and recommend seeing...

I recently visited Old Princeton Landing in Half Moon Bay as part of a wedding party, and I have to say, it was one of the best experiences of my life, all thanks to Noah. From the moment we arrived, Noah went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible time.

Noah’s attentiveness and friendliness made us feel right at home. He was quick to respond to all our needs and always did so with a smile. Whether it was making sure our drinks were topped off or ensuring we had the best spots to enjoy the live music, Noah’s service was exceptional.

What stood out the most was Noah’s genuine care for our group. He made sure everyone was having a great time and even went out of his way to accommodate some last-minute requests. His hospitality truly made the night unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a place to have a fantastic time in Half Moon Bay, I highly recommend Old Princeton Landing, and be sure to ask for Noah. He’ll make sure your experience is nothing short of amazing. Thank you, Noah, for making our...
