1st time coming, I got to say man WOW. Food was amazing and great service. If you're looking for some good food and a great time with family this is THE place. The vibe of the place is great. I will definitely be coming back! read more

They did change the menu, which I love now! They have live music sometimes in the patio I really like that because if you don't want music you can also go inside! The place is big. It give you options Then the service all the bartenders are really great, friendly...Emily is the best! And also the food and drinks are fast! They are kid friendly Dog friendly Very nice read more

It's kinda deceiving from the front, but really nice large space in the back. Front looks a bit shabby, but it's really chic inside and in the back. They have benches with TV's, a pseudo beirgarden. Not the greatest, but cortical and efficient service. They were fast to bring out the food, clearing the tables and telling us we needed to clear out as they were closing in 25 minutes, lol. As for food, we all enjoyed what ordered. From the seafood pasta, to nachos, pizza, wings, etc. read more

Well, I wanted to love it here.... The pros: love the location. Kid friendly. Live music (love this). Plenty seating! Great for a large gathering. A good amount of food and drink options. Nice selection of beer, ciders, sangria, and even sparkling wine which lots of breweries don't have. The cons: waited about 20 minutes in line just to order. Then they forgot to bring me my order of garlic fries and when I mentioned it nicely to the worker.. he treated me like I was lying. I didn't appreciate that. I won't say I would never return but definitely not my go to place. read more

The new owners are great. They have really turned this place around. The food is good now, they have a lot of different types of food (including a delicious veggie burger!!) and they have wonderful beer. Lots of options and not just IPAs like some breweries. They also have a fun aperol spritz type drink. They have live music and lots of indoor/outdoor seating. read more

Surprised to see the negative reviews, so thought my crew and I would check it out. We were very pleased, and the staff were super attentive and friendly. The food was also very good. We were told the chef was trying new recipes. The menu looks different but the food is very similar (didn't get a pic, sorry!). We ordered off the menu and the "specials" board by the register. Food brought to table. Condiments now inside but water stations in and outside. Food ordered: onion rings (in a cute stack), pretzel with cheese sauce (was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't... still good though), cheese steak w/ fries (my friend said he would definitely order again), "tacos" which were more like taquitos, but very tasty! Margherita pizza - loved the crust. Love the pomegranate cider (that's hard to find). Both my buddies got flights and were very pleased. Beer was mellow in flavors, but good. I look forward to returning to see what other fare the chef will be playing with! read more

I picked up a mixed pack of Saison and IPA, very delicious and coming back for more! If you can catch Pacifica on a nice day, the outdoor seating is awesome. Lots of seating, kid and dog friendly, and staff is helpful too. I'll be sure to come back soon for dinner with the family! *To the person who left a 2-star review below. If you have issues, esp during first few weeks of opening - let the staff know asap! They usually try to remedy the issues right then and there.

We were invited here for a birthday party. The place just opened on May 9, 2025. There were a lot of people outside, not sure if they were all here for the party or just checking in. It was a beautiful day. You go in the bar area and place your order (limited menu for eats) but a ton of beer selections. I ordered the $18 burger with fries and lemonade. It was pretty good! You grab a number stand and they deliver it to you at your table. The odd thing was we had to pay for our food and drinks, but that's okay, I guess. The place was dog friendly which was great! Big place to hold a party outdoors. Lots of parking and right next to Sea Bowl. read more

Arrived here on Saturday (3/7) at about 7:45pm. Wasn't sure where to go or what to do as it was our first time arriving. No signage anywhere. Wasn't sure if we were supposed to wait to be seated or order first and take a seat. We had dogs with us, and came here specifically because of the large outdoor patio. We walked over to the back to check out the patio to even see if there was room to sit.... and there was.... but this place was worse than a Chuck E. Cheese. Kids were quite literally RUNNING around - one almost slammed into us because he was running so fast. All I could hear were kids screaming and yelling. It was unbelievable. Never have I ever been to a Brewery disguised as a kid's play place. Needless to say, we left. read more

Great location, great beer. Unfortunately the food is terrible. I've visited maybe 5-6 times since opening, each time hoping the food would be better. The only thing I've liked was a pizza and even that was just okay. I recently ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with a salad for $18. The salad was literally just lettuce drowning in ranch dressing. The spicy chicken sandwich was a fried patty covered in buffalo sauce. Nothing special. I would be okay with dive bar food if it came at dive bar prices, but it is way too expensive for what you get. Also ordering is a major pain. Please get a QR code system. read more

I wanted to try a new brewery near me with fire oven pizza. The location has a lot of potential but could be managed better. When you walk in, you need to place your order with the bartender. We waited 10 mins since she was helping another guest. Lots of people started lining up after me to place an additional order and to close the tab. If they had a QR code on the table, it would expedite the process. The bartender worked really hard by herself, and lots of other staff members were clueless and just standing around. The food came pretty quickly, seafood chowder was misleading since it didn't have any rockfish inside but tasted good. The rockfish taco could have been made into two tacos instead of one. The Rapini pizza was good but a bit too burnt on the bottom. The special calamari with shrimp was really good. I felt the oil was a bit old and made the food look burnt and greasy. I would comeback for the pizza and special calamari read more

Very open area was able to walk the beautiful outdoor seating before seating or ordering. Kierra took her time taking our order, making conversation before business which made us feel welcome. Food came out before we could finish our drinks! And was delicious. Planning on coming back at 4pm for the live music!! read more

A nice place to get some beer (tbh I'm a wine girlie but still enjoyed their beer selection), hang out in the sun on the patio, catch up with friends, with plenty of room for the kiddos to run around. read more

Rockaway Beach Brewery - Seared rockfish and CherryAle - Breweries Near Me - Pacifica, California

It's been a while since I've been here. Happy I returned. Food is great, service is great, and I love the new space that allows kids to run around on the hill while the adults can enjoy live music under the heaters. 10/10 I'll be back read more

1st time here under new management and very unimpressed. I loved the beers but the food is horrible. We had 3 entrees wings they said were Thai glace but just soy sauce and no flavor. Fish & chips so greasy they fell apart. A burger that was overdone and flavorless One and done for the food which wasn't cheap . read more

Decided to try this place now that they're finally open for food and drink. Well, we won't be back. We got there, are there anyone here but there were some kind of private party in the back so we couldn't order any food as we were told if we ordered any food it would be at least 45 minutes and no guarantees. If you've got a private party that precludes you from offering food to walk-ins, there should be a sign at the door. The server was about to take our order before somebody interjected not to order. as it was my husband's birthday decided to stay and try their beer - the kolsch was was excellent - regular IPA NOT so great They need to decide if they are going to treat people like in a bar, rude and dismissive or if they're a family restaurant like it seems to be with lots of families. read more

I really hate this place because the staff have gotten my orders wrong twice. I would not recommend this place to anyone and they have also gotten my family's orders wrong so many times. Like I remember this one time my dad asked for ranch dressing, it took them 30-minutes to bring it out to us and the food was great though. read more

I live in the east bay and love to come here when I like to step away from the city life. I usually come here, grab a few beers. Last Sunday I was there and there was some miscommunication from the bartender to maybe the manager on duty? Anyways, I got up to leave after I had already paid about 10 mins ago. The guy behind the bar was like wait you gotta pay and i said I had already paid with the female bartender and for some reason he didn't believe me. There was a little back and forth and then he asked me to show him my bank statement?' Like wtf dude check your system. Then when I showed him my literal bank statement and he still didn't believe me! He then said he said "the customers always right" sarcastically. It's it the fact of right or wrong - it's the fact that I paid and you're accusing me that I didn't? It felt a little racist and judgmental honestly. Anyways, the beer is great, the food is great. You should try it. Hopefully you don't get the same guy I experienced. read more

Came in on a quiet Wednesday night and sat at the bar. Unfortunately, we weren't acknowledged at all, even though two people who came in after us were seated first. After waiting, we decided to take our business elsewhere - what a shame since we live so close by. Check out Humble Sea Brewing company instead, always friendly and inviting :) read more

Came across this cool restaurant brewery! Amazing service, ambiance, and menu. I tried a couple beer flights which I loved because I was able to try 8 different types of beers. My favorite was the Pineapple Express. Was able to buy some for to go. Food wise I tried the fig pizza which was 10/10, as well as the chowder *bomb*, and the salty pretzel with cheese (my favorite). The outdoor area is insanely nice! Huge space for potential parties. The owner mentioned there will be event nights coming up so I'm going to stay tuned. Pretty epic place! read more

Rockaway Beach Brewery - Venue space - Breweries Near Me - Pacifica, California

Had a great time for a couple beers today. Asked the girl at the bar a little about the brewery and she gave me a quick helpful rundown. Rockaway brews on site, and they have their tanks right across the entrance of the bar (you can peek in the window if that's something that interests you). They had 8* (didn't snap a pic) beers up on the board of their own and one guest spot of the fantastic Old Rasputin from North Coast Brewing up in Fort Bragg. I had their West Coast IPA & crisp lager; both beers were solid! West coast was a bit citrusy, but had a bold & hoppy finish. Lager was clean, crisp, and had a very light body. Back patio area was large and accommodating, and they served a variety of food as well! read more

Rockaway Beach Brewery - Crisp Lager! - Breweries Near Me - Pacifica, California

Incredibly slow service for what is eventually very mediocre food. For a brewery, the beer selection is limited. Take your money somewhere else because overall this place sucks. read more

We stopped in for a few beers after a hike and had a great time. From the outside, it doesn't look like much but it is much cuter on the inside with lounge chairs/ couches in the back next to a fire pit! We ordered beers at the bar which was quick but we didn't get any food. Next time we will have to give the food a try! read more

Service was friendly enough, atmosphere is nice (as it was under the former owners) but unfortunately the food is completely flavorless -- everything was bland and underseasoned. We had the broccolini, a cheeseburger, a fried chicken sandwich and the fish and chips, and every item tasted the same, which was bland. For $120+ (incl 3 beers) it was an expensive and unsatisfying lunch. Hopefully they are still getting their bearings, because it's a nice location and I hope to see them succeed. read more

They beer is really good, the service is great, I really like their pizzas, the fried chicken sandwich is fired, the have events ones in a while is so fun read more

Lots of seating! Inside and outtside. Good beer and wine selection. Small selection of food.

Food was terrible. We had a pepperoni pizza, chicken tenders, hamburger, salad as well as the fish and chips. If you have children and want food that is perfect for kids, this place may be for you! Great outdoor seating and corn hole. If you're an adult, and/or a foodie, I would not recommend. The beer and cider were good, wine was awful. The service was great.... We were weekly patrons of the Pacifica Brewery and loved their food! This was below average unfortunately! I would rather have a Costco pizza to be honest! I'm sorry for the low review but the food was really that terrible for $180! read more

Mediocre... went for a late lunch. Order at the bar, no table service, even though I could see employees standing in the kitchen talking. Food was just not good. Fish tacos, frozen fish? Wife took the fish out and ate the tortillas! We ordered a burger with bacon, burger came out with no bacon.. The restaurant has a large outdoor space and is nice.... I wouldn't go back... read more

Great place Good food good beer Good people Great place to have a party bring the kids read more

I've been coming to Rockaway ever since Pacifica Brewing closed and have really appreciated the changes. The food menu is fantastic -- definitely try their house sauce with the burger and fries. The service is excellent; the bartender even offered us a couple of complimentary porter and stout samplers that were almost out, which was a nice touch. I especially enjoy the ambiance of the outdoor seating area at night -- the lights make it feel warm and inviting. read more

This place is getting really good. My friends and I have been coming here after mountain biking since they opened. They recently brought some new people in, and there's been more variety of interesting beer. They also brought in a new chef, and the food has gotten really good. The pizza used to be pretty dicey, but now it's awesome. I used to live in New Jersey, so I almost never order margherita pizza in California--people around here just don't know pizza. But this one is legit good. They've also finally added a lot of vegetarian options and a vegan burger. And the staff is friendly too! Get in here and enjoy! read more

First time visiting since it reopened up as Rockaway Brewery about three weeks ago. We had great weather out this Saturday which made for a fantastic brewery setting. All the employees were very friendly and kind, especially Josephine! She is a sweetheart! Met Dan the owner also who came by to introduce himself and ask for some feedback. I shared it was nice to have the open area in the back above the stairs accessible to kids now since Pacifica Brewery did not allow kids up there. Good menu - was light in options - but fries were great, pretzel was decent, and the burger was pretty darn good. It all came out pretty fast with great temperature and taste. Waited for a while for this place to open back up so overall very happy! We had a big group - the Sea Dragons playgroup from the Pacifica Families Club all wanted to go so we chose here to meet up. Lots of space for strollers and loved the open seating! We all grabbed a beer (and a baby) and had a blast. Everyone had positive things to say!! My son loved the hoola hoops! LOL read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was friendly and the food was tasty. There was just an issue with consistency. Four people in our group each ordered the fish and chips. When the orders came, one plate had four pieces of fish, two plates had three pieces, and one plate had only two pieces. We weren't sure why. In the end, the one with only two pieces was eventually given another piece when we brought it to the server's attention. But the real winner was our friend who got four pieces! Maybe it was just an off day for the kitchen staff. We'll be back again and see if it was just a fluke. Like I said, the food itself was good. read more

Okay I was there in July with a friend from out of town. I bought two dinners at $18 and I bought two Bubbles at $8 what makes it $52. At the end my friend said don't worry I'll pay for the dinners. Mind you I had an open tap. So I guess my friend didn't look in what she was paying but it turns out as of today that she only paid $8 for her beer. What is totally fine I don't mind paying for her dinner and my dinner that's not the problem. The problem Lays where we told the gal behind the counter close my account and put everything on her account and she says okay. Did she follow through of course not and left my tap open. So on my statement I was charged $67.50. Why I have no idea because my dinner was $52 plus tax what would make it at the most $57 so where and for what is the $10? Are you talking tip, because that's all I can think of. And if that's the case it wasn't worth $10 tip, We had given the girl cash for tip. Because I never tip on my credit card because it takes the waitress forever to get it. Yes, I used to go to the brewery before this one and I was looking forward that this one opened up Under New Management and I'm not going to compare you with the other one but I think you guys can do better. Am I going to come back, maybe, but your food better be better. Your food was really delicious in the beginning when you first opened. I'm going to give you a little hint people who come and have a beer at a brewery they like to eat food as you well know and in pacifica there's a lot of locals that will come to the brewery and their expectations are high. So please do better because I know you can. The staff is friendly I love coming there but you guys need to do better and also change the way you charge people. I'm never doing a credit card open tap again I rather pay cash. It's also my fault a little bit for not checking and depending that the person behind the bar would have done it correctly but I guess I was wishfully hoping. Anyway that's the only reason I'm giving you two stars. Tell me what the 67.50 adds up to. I am curious to know how you got to this amount. read more

Although this place may not look open from the roadside it is and it has a very nice ambiance. The backyard is very spacious. Nice place to bring a kid to play and run. The food is very tasty and the beer is also very very good read more

What an amazing spot! We're so impressed with how this place has been transformed since reopening under the new name. The beer is on another level--fresh beyond belief, and brewed right here in-house. Bartenders are awesome, music hits the right vibe, and the burger was the real deal. Great job, Rockaway Brewery--fantastic addition to the Pacifica scene! read more

For a happy hour, not that great no live music playing at all. They have plenty of speakers not a happy atmosphere very nicely remodeled place. It's a shame. Plenty of free parking too. Maybe they can get it together and have some better food options cheaper prices for tap beer I think a $10 is a bit much for a happy hour... no food options for happy hour either yet to order off the regular menu that's not good also pizza came out doughy and Sides burnt waited over 40 minutes for our pizza. Sadly, we never will complain to a business with just yelp as we do NOT return food ! Wish you all the best. Hopefully you can recover since you just opened in May. read more

Rockaway Beach Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Pacifica, California

We all loved this place under the prior owner and were so happy it reopened under new ownership. We are rooting for it to succeed. It is such a great spot to hang out and the beer is really good. It just has to decide if it wants to be a sports bar or a restaurant. The menu is very limited. Both the rockfish and the fish and chips dishes were very small. Not entree size. I hope they work on improving the limited menu. If not, just be a sports bar and that'll work. There's a great outside area with large overhead heaters. Unfortunately, when we asked them to turn them on, they said they didn't work. Those heaters were what made eating in that great space possible. This is Pacifica. Get them fixed! read more

Great spot that was much needed in Pacifica! Tons of space to hang out, good food and solid beer as well. We loved that it was super dog and kid friendly and the service was great as well. We'll be coming back often! read more

Great food. Great beer. Great service. What more could you ask for?! I will be sure to come back again and again!
