Winters Tavern — Restaurant in Pacifica

Winters is, hands-down, the best bar in Pacifica for multiple reasons: 1) the atmosphere is welcoming with a come-as-you-are-meets-punk-rock vibe; 2) the drinks are good (I'm not much of a beer drinker, but they have a pretty extensive beer list, including PBR, and they aren't stingy on the liquor/mixed drinks); 3) they have live music pretty much every day/night (and weekly stand-up comedy and open mic), and it's not unheard of for some good punk bands to roll through (Guttermouth, Agent Orange, TSOL, Fang, and the Secretions are a few of the bands I've seen at Winters); 4) there's free shuffleboard (just trade in your ID), a quarter-operated pool table, and 2 pinball machines; 5) the bartenders are friendly; and 6) the decor is eclectic. Plus, Winters is a stone's throw away from my front door, so I dig the convenience. If you're ever heading south on the 1 through Pacifica, be sure to stop by this long-time...

Maybe the best lil tavern in the world and i've visited alot all over the globe. Loud rock, unapologetic ambience, fantastic curated beer selection, "bartender's lunch" for free food in slow cooker, honest helpful pro staff and the owner parties like a sasquatch. Interesting mix of local workers, surfers, local kids, and San Francisco punk rock legends co-mingled. Look the big motorcycle skid mark on the floor. Oh did i mention all the pinballs, pool, shuffleboard and endless ephemera all over, plus b&w tvs playing weird oddities? I hope no-one learns about this place but everyone should so they stay in business and keep booking...

Usually it is good and I have a great time. I usually show up with my boyfriend and dog. One night, though, someone was super drunk and decided to pee on someone's bike out in public, was yelling at women, and finally threatened and tried to "fight" me, my boyfriend, AND my dog. I forget his name, but the staff there seemed to know him and took the almost 15 min for anyone to even SAY something to this guy who was harassing us and wouldn't leave us alone. The guy even followed us to our car as we were trying to leave. Was only there long enough to get one drink before WE had to leave because they refused to kick...
