Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay, a coastal town on California's Highway 1 known for its pumpkin festival and the massive Mavericks surf break just offshore, has a bar scene that leans into the area's wine country side - BarFinder lists 22 venues, with wineries, wine bars, and breweries making up a majority of the mix alongside classic bars. Local spots like Barterra Winery and Hop Dogma Brewing Co. anchor that scene, while the Harbor Bar keeps a classic waterfront-town feel alive. It's a scene built around ocean views as much as what's in the glass.
