There's a certain likability to Pacifica bars. But its extra good when the bar in question has quailty beer on tap. LMB has several selections of Goose Island made beers and thats good enough for this reviewer. read more

Nice bar and venue. I came here for a night of live music. Small stage in the bar area with space to dance in front (though I wish the bar tables were moved back some). Sound was good. Bar in general was spacious. Two rooms, and a "backstage"/upstairs nook. Pool table, darts, and ping-pong to bide your time between drinks and/or bands. Plus my favorite as a non-drinker...popcorn machine! I don't know how the bartenders mix drinks because of my teetotaler status, but they were nice and friendly, staying on top of drink orders like pros. Plenty of free parking, as the bar is located in a strip mall. read more

This place is a cool lil gem straight outta the mini mall in pacifica. It look like not much till you get inside. They've got some great bands and hip hop and rap acts. Some that would really surprise you. One time I even saw spice 1 here. Its a real refreshing vibe here. I dig the cover bands. Last time I was here I called this number I found on the wall in the bathroom for a good time and the person came through and we kicked it. It was goodtimes! read more

Such a great experience during this time! Tables clean and spaced out. Drinks were good and strong! Love that you can bring food from the sushi place or the grocery store to come and eat with your drink. It was an overall great experience and I can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Literally the strongest margaritas we've ever had! Thank you Joey and Buddy! Can't beat awesome bartenders, a juke box, free darts, $1 pool, and the ocean only a few of blocks away! We will definitely be returning! read more

This has been my go to bar when I'm not at Nick's where I work for years. Very comfortable place to be. Not too divey and not too fancy. There is bar seating, tables, and standing room. Drinks are priced well for Pacifica/Bay area and they have a little bit of everything for anyone. The tap margarita is very good and strong, making the $10 price point very fair. They also have a selection of purées and liqueurs for flavored margaritas which are also very good. On top of that they have a full bar and a very good beer selection. They have a very tight staff who are very friendly and accommodating. If you're into sports they have multiple TVs and a large projector screen for big games or playoffs. During football season they put on any game They have access to as well as the red zone. They also have a second section of the building where they accommodate private parties as well as a large stage and great sound system for musical performances, concerts, and karaoke on Sundays. They are slowly but surely becoming a great music/event venue on the weekends. They have been able to book people such as Warren G, Dru Down, Katchafire, Richie Spice, and even other events such as midget wrestling and even Thunder from Down Under. Overall it's a great and comfortable place to be. Longboard has been my go to bar for years and I'm sure it will continue to be for years to come. read more

I went here to see Thunder From Down Under. What I liked about Longboard Margarita Bar other than the ample free parking in the lot was that the event space was pretty small, so no matter where you sat the view wasn't bad at all. There were heads and hands holding phones in the way when I wanted to record their routine where filming is allowed, but I just moved farther back to where there were empty seats and didn't have any issues after that. I didn't buy any drinks so I can't speak on that, but I will say that the folding chairs weren't the most comfortable. Also, I didn't use their restrooms but it did seem small and cramped as there was only one toilet and a sink/mirror right outside the women's toilet room. The entertainment itself is what it is, you either are a fan of that type of show and/or the performers in it, or you're not and hopefully can make the most of it. FYI the bar is right off the highway and easy to get to, but know it can get really foggy in that area at night. Thank you Longboard Margarita Bar for having TFDU at your venue, it was a pleasant experience! read more

Thursday night reggae. AMAZING MARGARITAS ON TAP ! The hunky bartenders are also a plus ! ;) read more

Longboard Bar And Venue - Bars Near Me - Pacifica, California

First time I was there was because my friend told me they will be there for a Tuesday Karaoke. I went, sang one song, the older guy appeared to be filming singers, and even said he needs our email so he can send the video, I am still waiting for it. Second time was when my daughter craved for Nachos which I brought her last time and she loved it. On both occasions, their food did not fail me, for Nachos with Chicken it was really good and tasty, the sandwich was good but kinda small. Bar price of drinks are good, and the appetizers are cheap for $6 and under. Today I would give the waitress KC a four star as she was really nice, but, the Karaoke people who was the drawing factor in my going there is the unforgivable negative factor that pulled my rating down to one star. I can understand how they wanted to keep order re the singing line up of those who can and cannot sing there. But the fact that one middle aged white dude (there was a pilipina woman, an old white dude and a middle age white dude) started acting like he was God Almighty yet I thought, well maybe since he act like the owner of the place, maybe he will listen to my reason of business ownership whereas he needs to chill out, especially when you're dealing with a big tipper tipsy customer like me. He finally mellowed but, unfortunately now that I am sober, realized he was really a douche anyways, and still deserve bashing. He was not even the owner of the establishment but simply the Karaoke person who brings in their service to restaurants who are willing to accept them with open hands. Well, first they got me there because of my friend, I brought in more paying people to patronize the business, now they are down to that very little customer base they have again with no future of getting a bigger crowd because I am not going back there if those same Karaoke people are still there. Tudiloo Mr. Big Shot wannabe who makes Tiddly Dee. This is what I get for trying to patronize the Filipina Karaoke Operator by going there and bringing more people. I just put her emails in spam so I don't have to deal with them again. I once again got disappointed.. Oh well I am boycotting them no prospective customers going their way coming from my end, and to think I was about to hire them for a gig I am putting together, now there won't be any, and of course I had to yelp my bad experience. read more

Went here for the first time last night with a bunch of friends to see Neon Velvet and we had a blast! The entire place was beautifully decorated with a Christmas theme, including a tree. Friendly bartenders who were working hard to keep everyone happy. Lots of high tables set around the two levels, and a dance floor that was pre-COVID crowded. The layout lets people distance themselves (or not) by personal preference. Only bummer is something they can't easily fix - not enough bathrooms (one unisex, one female, one male) for a max capacity of about 300 people. Would definitely go again! read more

I was apprehensive and a little skeptical about going to opening night of the Longboard Margarita Bar in Eureka Square. I had been a long-time employee of the space's former entity, The Octopus Lounge, so I was feeling bitteresweet to say the least. Well the apparent exorcism was successful, as this location has been reborn into what I think is the most attractive bar/eatery in Pacifica. Owners Chad, Kim, and Eric have done a truly amazing job at breathing new life into 180 Eureka Square. Besides a completely redesigned, southwestern touched interior, the lounge offers both interesting, inspired food and drink menus. (Call for details - opening night was too kookoo for me to deal with paper and small colorful text,) Drink prices are on the high side of average (comparable to, say, Nick's Restaurant, in my opinion). The bartenders were very friendly and kept on smiling (even through the onslaught of opening night - which was NUTS! And not necessarily in a good way.) Hours seem to be noon - 2am daily, so stop by, treat yourself to something blended and bordering on illegal, try the mango salsa (IT ROCKS!). 3/7/11 - I am amending my review to include a couple of things I forgot to write previously... Regarding drinks - two people ordered the same drink at our table (some kind of minty mango concoction), and one of the two had to be sent back, it really was sub-par. terrible lack of consistency. I stick with my 4 star review and my opinion that the barstaff is very pleasant, but I've been amid the Pacifica bartenders for 9 years, and I only know a few of the Longboard's mixologists. I think there might be a lot of new blood behind the bar. Let's get them up to speed asap! read more

THE BEST!! We had our wedding reception there and couldn't have been happier. Kim and Alexa and the whole staff - YOU GUYS ROCK!! Sound system for our band was off the hook. We can't wait to come back :) read more

This is hilarious. Reading half of these reviews are ridiculous. First of all, the house margarita is no where near $9. Can someone please tell me why people are criticizing the food at a bar. It's a bar. Why aren't people talking about the bartenders. Oooo wait, I know why, because they are mixing alcohol. When I went in there, I had a great time. The most recent time, I had the skinny girl margarita, the mango mojito, and a passion fruit margarita with the new black salt. I love that they are trying new things. The fresh fruit is a plus too. I hope more people will talk about the drinks and the bartenders. Not the food (bar food is bar food), not the menu (your lucky there's menu in the bar), and not the nonexistent waiters. It's a new bar that's working out all the bumps and it gets better every time. read more

Do not drive all the way to Pacifica to try it out as you will be very disappointed. For being in Pacifica, I expect this place to be by the beach or at least having somewhat of a veiw. Turns out this place is in a strip mall next to a big supermarket that sells booze....when I walk out of this place, I thought I would rather buy a bottle of beer and sit on the sand than to be inside this so call "Margarita Bar" without a single window to the outside world. Their interior is pretty simple and bland and really nothing special on their drinks. I love old school Tiki bars in the city with a similar ambiance but this one has a lot of work to do to create that Tiki bar feel..... read more

One star for the wine and canvas. They were really nice. And I had a great time In that room BUT when I went to get my drink at the bar. The bartender wasn't enthusiastic. Didn't give a good vibe. Seemed like he didn't care to be there at the same time while serving our drinks. He continued to have a conversation with the patrons at the bar. I felt like we were bothering him. Sorry we don't wana tell you our life story but we do need your attention when we are ordering drinks. Thanks for your horrible service. The pomegranate margarita wasn't tasty. But it was strong. read more

This is a total dive bar serving up some yummy margies. Try the french margarita with patron and grand marnier..Thursdays are reggae night. I wish they served some bar bites to soak up the tequila ;-) read more

Strolling along the Fog Fest in Pacifica, minding my own business, we spot an orange SF giants pint glass advertising ShockTop. We stop and the lady says you can get it filled for $5. Well, Im not one to refuse a cold $5 beer on a sunny day. I said ok. Took it to the beer booth and they had no idea of what the glass was all about. Went back to the lady and it turns out to be the Longboard Bar tent. She duped us. We had to walk 4 blocks up and over a bridge over the freeway to get to the bar. It really isnt a bad walk and its really worth making the short hike. Good beer, large venue, easy to get to. Hung out with the locals avoiding FogFest. At least we now know to park in the Longboard parking lot and walk down to FogFest if I were to do it again next year. Stop by City Arms and check out the great gun shop after a few brews. read more

Wow, had a great time. The Band AQUA NET, an 80's Hair Band played. Two Birthdays, sexy santa's in spandex, both men and women, free jello shots, Sees candies, cake, cookies, a gal doing 1980's makeup, aka KISS or fake tatoos, (she was very talented, great) oh and a Raffle. No I did not win but what a great time and thank you for all the effort that the Longboard put into this event. read more

I came for Wine and Canvas. It was my first time there. I ordered a daiquiri which I was told they don't make. I then ordered a mojito and was told they had the mint but not the simple syrup. So I ordered a strawberry margarita. It didn't have much flavor but was very very strong. Had to ask for a bit more strawberry flavor to balance it out. When I heard margarita bar I expected a variety of margaritas, a couple of margarita machines spinning frozen margaritas. There may have been more of a variety of margaritas but I didn't see a menu of any sorts. I can't say much of the decor bc it was set up for wine and canvas and therefore probably not the way it normally looks. read more

Fresh fruit affordable drinks. A diamond in the rough when it comes to bay area bars. Very nice and clean inside. A spot where you can take your parents to. A must visit. The tacos on tues and thrs are awesome. Since they are using fresh fruit puree's sometimes they are out of some flavors, but they usually have quite a few to choose from. I like the place. read more

Longboard Bar And Venue - Aqua netts set up stage. Fun night. - Bars Near Me - Pacifica, California

I've been going to this bar since my party days, to my not so party days. I went to a show tonight & love how they set it up recently! I have to comment about the lotion in the bathroom...it smells soooo good! Not to mention how its in a soap dispenser. They used to have it on the counter, but assuming girls were stealing it, is why they put it in dispensers. Friendly bartenders, great music venue! read more

I really love this place. what do you want, cool music? pick a night they have it! great drinks? every night! cool crowd? Check! they took what was a divvy little bar and turned it into a fantastic little lounge/music venue/art bar. I liked them on facebook and get great updates for shows and other events. Very cool and friendly staff that are not afraid to pour a drink and make you feel like a regular right away. read more

Good strong drinks, bar tenders really friendly, the place is big too. Having said that we came late on a Friday night hoping to dance and it was a bunch of old guys and an empty dance floor. Maybe it's the location. read more

We held my sisters baby shower in the side room, they had absolutely everything we needed and plenty of space, very accompanying and helpful. Perfect room for entertaining and plenty of space! Eric and Kim were wildly helpful, and so very nice. Everyone at the bar was. We will definitely be holding future events there! read more

Longboard has become one of The Best places in Pacifica to hangout. Always Great Entertainment from the wide spread of music. Super fun and talented band line-up for everybody's enjoyment. I've had a few of my own events here which turned out Amazing. Kim and Eric the owners go above and beyond to make sure all details are taken care of for a fun smooth event. They have opened their door to many successful fundraisers and always show support to local communities around this little town. So grateful to see this bar become more than just a local watering hole. A friendly atmosphere where you always feel welcome. Need to throw a party? Wanna get your dancing shoes on and listen to some great musicians? Just feeling thirsty and want to play pool, darts, golden tee? Longboard is your Venue where the magic happens!!! You won't regret it, I promise. read more

I love the Longboard Margarita bar! it's a great place to hang out my friends! I've gone there many nights for karaoke, reggae bands and live bands it's very fun! The staff is always nice and the owners Kim and Eric are super sweet! they're doing a remodel right now and I can't wait until they re-open for bands to play again next month, until then they're open for patrons to come and have a drink and listen to the jukebox! read more

See all

If I could give zero stars I would....worst bartender ever. Serves all of his regulars and never even served me. I had to get my buddy to buy me a drink cause he knew him. That's definitely not cistomer service. That's Pacifica service read more

Just got to visit Longboards last weekend and OMG what a blast! I love how they have created a nice space out front of their bar where we can still enjoy the game on the big screen and all the yummy cocktails! How did they do it? For one thing they added pizza to the menu - and it's really the perfect side dish for the drinks! The remodel of Eureka Square is almost done and it's looking so good! Last, I'll say, the staff at Longboards is the BEST!! read more

To begin, I would give this place 20 stars!! Yesterday, my family and I held a birthday party for my 85-year-old mother. I worked with the owner, Kim, and it was a very pleasant experience. Kim is extremely accommodating, very helpful and the room had all the appointments and electronics that we could ever want. It's a very nice size space, we had just over 50 people there and could have had maybe 100 easily. We had a slide presentation that the equipment was already there ready for us. Music piped in for whatever we wanted to listen to. It was great. They set up a bar in the event space and Joey was our bartender. What a great bartender, I would have him do another party without question. He was very pleasant, responsive and was very entertaining. Since it is located in a small shopping center, parking was plentiful. Overall, this was a great place for a great party and I would use this place again if ever I had another opportunity. My mom is still beaming with happiness and can't thank my family enough for doing this for her and arranging all her friends to come celebrate. Contact Kim, you won't be sorry AND you will have a great time! read more

This is by far my favorite bar in Pacifica. We have had our company party here, been here for date nights and come for the live bands. The bartenders are all extremely competent and the one time that the bartender didn't know what drink I was describing (one the owner Kim makes special) she called Kim and got us the drinks in minutes. Every Giants game and every 49ers game are on the tvs every game, and the crowds are almost always positive, and they are quick to remove any problems that do come up. read more

Love love love this place! We live near by and walk to the bar after a sandwich at Oceana Market. The staff is friendly, drinks are stiff and entertainment is awesome. My wife and I will be long time regulars at this place, highly recommend it! read more

Erik is the mans man of Pacifica bartenders. He has no idea what he's doing. His mango margarita is out of this world. Meaning he doesn't know they have it, on earth.... love that guy, bless his heart! Kimmy is the queen of this place. Come by and drop a hundred. Always good on Sunday. read more

Excellent margaritas! And I love good margaritas. I came here a few weeks ago, and my go to were the Strawberry margaritas. Every single one was mixed perfectly sweet and the right strength of tequila! I came on a Saturday night and a band set up to play around 10ish. They were really loud but it was fun. Fun people, good drinks, good times. read more

When I want to go where everyone knows my name, I come here. I've met a lot of people I'm proud to call friends here. Great live music on the weekends is a plus and the friendly friendlies make it that much better. Good selection of beer and even better selection of stiff drinks. When you just want to have a beer or cocktail and just hang out , there's no better place to go in Pacifica. But, you don't have to take my word for it. Butterfly in the sky! read more

Longboard Bar And Venue - Fernet. - Bars Near Me - Pacifica, California

Went there for a concert. The venue is okay. I first ordered a mango margarita. It was the worse margarita I've ever had. Even Applebee's dollar margaritas are better then this 12$ gross margarita. They kept changing the prices of beers. It cost me $8 and they charged my husband $10 for the same beer. Drinks are very expensive. read more

I visited Longboard on opening night and immediately loved it. The new owners fully remodeled it and it has modern surfer beachy vibe to it. The new hardwood floors and bar decorated with geckos and surfer items is just beautiful. Opening night had people of all ages. I'm a 30 something and so I prefer a young vibe with a crowd my age. Some of the young ones were hanging out, but there were also people oder than me. It reminded me of the old El Torito Bar back in the day. The drinks were good that night, and the mango salsa and chips were to die for. There was a band that had a surfer, scooby-doo-ish sound. It was perfect for the theme of the bar on opening night, although the volume was too high at times. We didn't stay long, we just wanted to check it out real quick that night. Well, I just visited the bar again this past weekend and I think I loved it even more. The crowd had a few youngsters and elders, but the average was more my age. There were more people having dinner and the staff seemed to run much more smoothly. They present themselves very professionally by the way. All dressed in black, so you can see that they are part of the staff. It really makes a difference on how they present the bar, so I think it looks great! The music was a jazz band that was smooth and it had a lounge type of sound. Oh, did i mention there is a hot pink grand piano near the stage? Very sexy :) My friends ordered me a Sweet Heat" Jalapeño and Cucumber Margarita. WOW!! Talk about sizzling. It was refreshing like a mojito would be. But the jalapeño gave it a POP. The cucumber seemed to cool it down. I literally felt like my tummy glowed from it. I have never had anything like it, and I probably would never have ordered it on my own, But it was amazing! I also sampled the mango margarita, and ordered a Blackberry margarita for myself. Both were just yummy. Made with fresh ingredients and garnished with them as well. No place in town makes anything like them. I really felt that this is more of what Longboard will be like. I think if they had any kinks to work out, they are almost there. I love it here and can already see the many nights out with friends and family, the girls-night-out events, and birthday parties that I will be attending here & I can't wait. I hope that I can look forward to some Latin and R& B bands here too. I like to dance and I can't wait to get my groove on here. I am so glad they got this place together, because Pacifica needed a place like this in town badly! Thank you so much for opening Longboards! read more

This was our first time here. We wanted to see Flock of Seagirls. Within 10 minutes, a fight broke out so we moved to the lower level. Within a short time, another fight started by the same person. (I'm guessing they let him back in). The band was supposed to start at 9 but by 9:45 we gave up and left. I'm wondering why this Dive bar gets 4 stars?? Maybe this stuff doesn't usually happen?? We won't be giving this place another chance. Only reason I gave 2 stars is because we were with some cool people but they left when we did. Too bad. We really wanted to hear the band. read more

was super excited to try out the margarita bar when i found out that their focus was going to be fresh ingredients. however, i have been there 4 times now and the fresh ingredient aspect is laughable. every single time i have gone there, i have been told "oh, we dont have that" i recognize the girls behind the bar as patrons of the owners other pacifica bar, winters. im not sure if they just arent heavy on experience, but i cant tell you how many times ive ordered a drink and its missing ingredients. like the sex on the beach my girlfriend ordered was without peach schnapps, which is kind of a crucial ingredient. the decor is nice and the drinks are strong. hopefully they are just still trying to work out the kinks. read more

The owners have transformed what was once a funky biker bar into a very nice, upscale, but unpretentious neighborhood hang out. Yea, they specialize in magaritas, but since I don't drink Tequila, I had a Mojito which was made very well with really fresh mint. They now have live music on some nights too. The owner Kim is really friendly and she aims to please her customers. read more
