Seahorse Brewing — Restaurant in Pacifica

I added a star because the sausage I had was tasty and relatively inexpensive.

First off. Not a brewery, do not go here expecting a craft brewery of any sort.

I drove into Pacifica after a day on the coast and was interested in some food and a drink, I was also enticed by the food prices. Sad to say I was very disappointed.

When I walked in both owners were sitting at the bar on their laptops, no one else was in the establishment. I'm okay with that, I come from a small town, and to me that signaled down-to-earth owners. They asked what they could do for me, and I said I was interested in food and drink.

The bar was in desperate need of being cleaned, you may think that since they were on their computers that everything was taken care of, but even under where I chose to sit at the bar it was crusted with goodness knows what. The back of the bar was cluttered with odds and ends so it looked a bit like a thrift shop, empty bottles, candles, boxes, random stuff.

I ordered a Moscow mule and was pleased to see the husband hunt down a copper mug and fresh-squeeze the limes. I thought the drink tasted weak, but I was willing to believe it was just a really good mule.

I was not offered a menu or given any way to see food options when asked what I wanted to eat, so on my own I opened the website and ordered a Seahorse Sausage from there. I was not given the listed side of potato salad, and the sauerkraut and cheese on the sausage was mediocre. I was charged the full price.

The meat was good, I'll say that much, and he brought it out quickly. Nothing better than what I could get on a stand outside a concert venue though.

After my sausage the husband left and I was left in awkward silence while the wife sat on her laptop, I had to ask for service instead of being asked if I wanted anything when my drink was empty. I ordered a second mule before I decided to head out, which was made by the wife. No lime was added at all, no copper mug, and again it tasted weak.

I was consistently polite and quiet, and paid my bill and left.

HERE is the kicker for me. I have a pocket breathalyzer courtesy of my paranoid mother. For fun I decided to test my BAC because I, a 140lb. female, just downed two hard alcohol drinks in less than an hour and I felt nothing. Surprise surprise, a BAC of 0. Those drinks had no liquor in them. I was charged $8 a piece for fancy soda.

Not happy. I came here with perfectly positive notions and I left having paid too much for not enough....

It’s not a Brewery, is a bar. No minors. Edit: Went with my family last Sunday afternoon. There is a “no under 21” sign at the door. We got in and asked if minors were allowed and were told no. End up going to Humble sea. Edit 2: I did not see any sign saying kids were welcome. I would love to see proof that my wife did not get in and ask if minors were allowed. Why I would go over the trouble of writing a review? The reason for 1 star is to warn people with families that normally explore breweries. Only people with little ones know how hard it can be to get out of the house sometimes to be turned away on a place...

I live in Pacifica and Seahorse Brewing has been on my radar for a while. I finally made it in last Saturday night. I picked up some smoked turkey to have with my post-Thanksgiving sides. The smoked turkey was tender and flavorful. Like, melt in your mouth/can't help but stop for seconds. The staff was very friendly. My order was to-go but I definitely want to return and have a drink in the cozy atmosphere. Bonus, I received some smoked butter. I bet you didn't know you needed smoked butter, but you do. I used it on some cornbread and also on salmon. Anyway, I had a great experience and cannot wait to return! Also they...
