Where to Drink After Bay to Breakers 2026 — Beach Chalet Brewery at Ocean Beach, the 1925 Building Where the Race Ends and the Sun Sets on the Pacific
The 2026 Bay to Breakers runs Sunday, May 17 — first wave off at 8 a.m. from Howard and Main downtown, twelve kilometers west across the city to the Great Highway and Ocean Beach. The finish line is at 1000 Great Highway. The Beach Chalet brewery is also at 1000 Great Highway — same building. By 10 a.m. the first finishers are on the upstairs deck with a medal around their neck and the first cold pint of the year in their hand. By 8 that evening the sun is dropping into the Pacific through the same windows. One building, one race day, one twelve-hour arc from breakers to sunset.
