Best hole in the wall mom and pop spot in pacifica. The food is amazing. The ribs are sooooo good. Slow smoked, the burger is very juicy lots of flavor. And the best part is they have a cozy ass fire place. Love coming here. The record player really sets the mood
Had the pleasure of finally making my way into this place on NYE after a few prior attempts when the bar was closed. Honestly, I had a blast and can't remember the last time I laughed so much. The people and owners were great! The conversations were hilarious, and the beers were nice and cold. I can see the charm of the place and enjoy an establishment where people can banter and have a bit of crude humor. I will definitely be back!
Stopped by this gem on our Pacifica date to take refuge from the windy weather. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately. We ordered the smokehouse burger and BBQ ribs plate. When I say this was the most tender mouth-watering burger and rack of ribs we've ever had..... WOW!!! You have to stop by to experience it for yourself. The ribs plate comes with a side of refreshing garden salad and potato salad which paired nicely with the smokiness of the meats. Definitely recommending to our friends to stop by!
Could be a nice place but they leave the doors open and it's drafty there Good selection of beer on tap. Especialy the real Budweiser, here under the name Czechwar.
Seahorse Brewing takes you back to the drinking days of yesteryear. Seems like the owner love the Allman Brothers as much as he loves gently bullying customers. (Which I adore, and respect) Everytime I'm there, I can count on hearing Live at the Fillmore to be playing on the radio, some pretty solid beer options, and conversation with the mix of regulars and passerby's that just makes sense. Some might complain about not doing all the brewing in house, or having celebrity taps, I don't mind. Life's tough, wear a helmet, and don't let the tough love scare you away.
Outstanding beer selection and food! Was here today for the smoked beer event and it was fantastic! Excellent selection of smoked beers and on-site smoked food was on point! Delicious sausage and outstanding House seasoned smoked pork chop! Need to come back for the ribs! Would have ordered but have to eat later at family house and can't feign hunger well anymore lol. . In any event gives us a reason to hurry back soon! Love this place and super friendly personable owner and welcoming cozy space indoors ( fireplace and couches) and outdoors as well( brought the puppers)!
It's so great when you find a place that just fits. That's Seahorse. Thank you to previous Yelp reviewers who hit the nail on the head with the quality of service & interaction, as well as the homemade meats. We stopped in today, Friday 3/25/22, at 4:45 when there was just one other person at the bar. Immediately we were welcomed in and told the beer gal would get us a beer. Funny thing is...the beer gal is NOT a beer drinker. I find that hilarious...and endearing. So we started our journey to find me a beer that approximated a stout. Don't get me wrong...they had stouts in cans in the fridge...so they were there...but on tap they only had their Devil's Canyon Scotch Ale, which isn't a stout, but is an excellent stand-in. In the end, I went with the Scotch Ale, because beer gal had me try it and it was good. Meanwhile, the next customer who came in was also a woman who WANTED A STOUT! I'm not saying women don't often drink stouts...but come on...women don't often drink stouts. So right there I thought "I've found my people!" More locals came through...including Sanjay who was a lovely guy who has turned to art and was showing his latest artwork on greeting cards...then his son who was a lovely 17-year-old tornado of a being...a guy with a husky named Rogan....a woman who brought in Japanese cheesecakes to share - one plain, one strawberry - and another barkeep who really looked like beer gal's sister but was absolutely no relation to her. We ended up bottle sharing a beer that Sanjay had brought at some point and was in their fridge, and we pulled in a beer that we had just procured from our friend who is a nano-brewer and shared that with Sanjay, beer gal, Scott (the owner) and the girl who brought the cheesecake whose name I never got. Then....and this was the icing on the cake....the house-smoked food was ready. I had the salmon and hubby had the tri-tip. Oh. My. Yum. I'm telling you...that salmon was perfection. All this in a place we had never been, in a town we hadn't been to in forever, with absolute strangers. What a magical time...we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you, Seahorse, for just being you - you're doing it right and we will absolutely be back!
