Every time we drive up and down the 1 we mean to stop by this place and just never got around to it. Recently we made plans to stop here on our way back up from a random trip to Santa Cruz.

Highway 1 brewing company obviously specializes in beer but they also offer a pretty good selection of bbq ...

I was less than thrilled with my visit here. Overall the place seemed a little run down, it was fly infested "from the swamp across the road". I'm not sure they we're doing much to mitigate the issue. We didn't get any food, but we did try the beer. All of the beers had a very bitter taste to them. ...

We spent most of the day at The Highway 1 Brewery passing through Pescadero on a road trip down to Santa Cruz and had a really good experience here. The staff were very personable, friendly, and spot-on with our service. I tried a custom flight of 9 different beers including a Gold and Chocolate Sto...

Cool location on the PCH south of SF. Reasonable beer selection with tasty options brewed in house and a few featured beers from other craft houses.
My main complaint with this place was that it seemed well staffed but the place was pretty filthy. I would think with the number of people who worked...

Great place to drink or sleep.

Great place to drink or sleep.

We had no solid reservations in the area and just wanted to camp legally. They have a deal where for about 35$ you can set up tent on the property and they will write a parking permit and a camping permit. Thanks guys for the help!

Its basically a run down shack that serves meat and beer. Food is decent. They have brisket. House beers aren't really that good. The flight was odd because the holes in the wood holder were too small so they jammed the glasses in and you'd spill trying to get them out. I had to pull my wife's g...

Was not very good. Bad service and my mom didn't get her good till after all my family got their food. My dad didn't get the dressing and the bathroom were a mess too. They didn't have the food that my dad and I ordered so we had to get another food choice. My dad got the big sale and he wanted the ...

Beautiful out-of-the-way location... beer is pretty good, food is usually just ok. Generally not worth the trouble though, unless you're already passing by. Yesterday we drove over an hour to have a pint here, turns out they were randomly closed. No warning, unannounced. (We checked their website be...

This is one of a kind place to visit on Highway 1 PCH. Especially if you are visiting from Europe. Many kinds of Beer selection. Good outdoor beer garden. Live bands playing and a great chef. We had lunch and ordered more food to go. Beach is right across to take your beer and food there. Amazing pl...

I am honestly surprised this place has as many positive reviews as it does.

Went here with my fiance on our way home from looking at wedding venues in San Mateo. There are flies EVERYWHERE! You have to constantly swat the flies off your food. It was bad, and overwhelmingly frustrating. The beer ...

What a great place to watch the Super Bowl. The owners were so hospitable and put up a big screen and with that and the two Smaller screens fans had no trouble seeing. The food and fans were wonderful! We loved the chicken hot wings, Greek salad with a wonderful lite raspberry vinaigrette, a great c...

Spotted this while on a tour of the PCH, as I was in from the East coast and had time to kill before my flight. Great name, horrible execution. Needs remodeled, badly. Flies everywhere. Bar unclean, as it appears most of the place is, including the brewing area. Ordered overpriced rib plate to ...

Aside from being conviently located off the route 1, there was no other positive moment my boyfriend and I could report.
Beginning with the ordering process, we ended up have 3 different people taking our order and trying to figure out how to process the credit card and receipt machine.

Had terrible service a year ago. Saw they had changed owners so thought we would give it a try again. Service was actually worse. Very unfriendly bartender. Took forever for them to even acknowledge us. Beer was ok, but not for $7 for a draft. No cell reception, so asked for wifi password, as wifi s...

Too new under new ownership (about 1 month) to properly rate. New brewer currently focusing on mainstream accessible selections. Nice ciders from Santa Cruz (sour cherry and pomegranate when I was there). Trying Texas BBQ fare to start but will adjust to customer demands.

The place is a dump,it stinks like stale beer when you walk in.they don't believe in cleaning because the bar top is sticky to the touch. I would hate to see the kitchen,I could only imagine.I would never eat food there.Fly's everywhere.

I stopped here with four of my friends on a day trip down the coast from SF last week. Upon entering we were promptly informed that the kitchen was closed for the evening, which was fine because we only wanted a couple beers. From what I remember the beer list is short but has something for everyone...

A real feeling of family, especially the outdoor dining area in the back. Picnic type tables are shaded by shade cloth. A platform for a band and you can even play corn hole.
A busy place, so after you place your order enjoy a flight of beer in the bar. The bar has high seated chairs and the room f...

Dirtiest restaurant I've been to in California in the last two years. The restaurant isn't busy but the whole place is filthy and full of flies and wasps. Food was great, beer was good, but nothing to write home about. They made us pay upfront, so we left a good tip, and then got absolutely NO serv...

We were seated for over a half hour before our order was take. We waited 20 more minutes to be served the wrong dishes only to have the same dishes offered back to use ten minutes later. Absolutely the worst service i have ever experienced.

Awesome little brewery along Hwy 1. We stopped by after a long bike ride and were able to bring our bikes to the backside beer garden. They have a lot of picnic tables back there some with heaters. Ordered a delicious Koelsch and a Hazy IPA along with a pulled pork bbq sandwich with French frie...

The food was HORRIBLE! They got our order wrong (brought out wrong items we didn't order) and took a long time to actually get our food. Also there are a lot of items that have been removed from the menu and are still on the main board which will cause some confusion. No table service. We ordered th...

Road trippin south on the 1 with a deep belly growl. Wanted to find something tasty before hitting the homegeny of the city. Saw the sign for this place and pulled in. Greeted by rad people and honest small talk. (like genuine conversation and not obligatory chatter) Super kind and attentive staff. ...

Let me preface this by saying I'm a life long Santa Cruz local that is no stranger to micro brews and funky roadside taverns.

I really want to give this place a higher review because I love the local, funky feel but both times I've been here the service and organization and cleanliness was severe...

Better now under new ownership. We have been going here over the years and through different owners. We didn't like the last incarnation that much and hadn't been in in awhile as a result. Saw under new owners so we came back to try again. Newest version is better for us on food. Tasty smoked chicke...
