Moss Beach Distillery

Rooted on the San Mateo County coast since Prohibition, the property anchors its storied past in easygoing seaside dining. Local lore famously names it home to the ‘Blue Lady’ ghost, though much of the daily pull is out on the heated, dog-friendly patio, where people share fire pits and watch the tide roll in. The kitchen and bar focus on classic seafood and cocktails, turning out comforting bites alongside plates like panko-crusted halibut with apricot couscous.
