Sacrilege Brewery + Kitchen

I had no idea that Half Moon Bay has a cute downtown! We had a fun morning at Lemos Farm and due to Saturday traffic, wanted to eat lunch somewhere close to the 92- this place was perfect! Lots of seating inside and out and a great menu. Only downside is not a lot of toddler food options but our kid didn't care he had fries and pasta. On this perfect Saturday in January, we chose a picnic table outside in the warm sun. We ordered their Sacrilege burger on an English muffin for the husband and their special of short rib ragu with homemade pasta ($26). My oh my was that worth it! I bet it is more spectacular with the cheese on top but I was so happy to eat this comfort meal, I didn't miss the cheese. I washed it down with their peach wheat ale-YUM!! I also ate my husbands fries (it's part of our nuptials agreement) and they were so crispy on the outside with perfect amount of salt and pepper. The service was prompt and friendly and they brought out the pasta as soon as they could so my kid can eat. We were so tired from Lemos otherwise would have stayed for another beer and explore the other local business. I definitely want to return and try their wings, pretzel bites, and sandwiches. A gem in HMB!

Sacrilege Brewery + Kitchen has a lot going for it, but the experience was a mixed bag. Let's start with the positives: the restaurant itself is cute and inviting--a great place for a quick bite and a drink with some friends.The food? Solid. We tried the cheeseburger, veggie burger, pulled pork sandwich, and buffalo wings. Everything was fine--nothing groundbreaking, but it hit the spot. Pricing was as expected for the type of place.Now, here's where things got a little...**sigh**. The cashier was not having it. She was short, dismissive, and clearly over the day. Don't you dare ask her a question about the menu, she's not interested in answering it. My mom, who is in her 70s and one of the sweetest women to EVERYONE she encounters, had her feelings hurt by how rude her response was when asking a question about the daily menu written in chicken scratch up above the cashier's head; clearly she had difficulty reading it which is why she needed clarification and needed the cashier to do, you know...her job? The table next to us made the same comment about her vibe, so at least we weren't imagining it.Thankfully, the food runner was a total energy shift! She was kind and engaging. Definitely the real MVP! All in all, it's a cute spot with decent food, but the front-of-house experience could use some polishing.

All the stars for this go towards the unique indoor and outdoor ambiance, plus the very friendly owner/server. My husband and I were in the Half Moon Bay area and he wanted something hearty to eat, so we found this place. We went during lunch so the line was a little long, but I don't remember waiting for a long time. The cashier/owner (I think) was also very friendly and helpful with regards to asking to refill napkins and the like. My husband and I aren't big drinkers, so I don't have much to say about the drinks unfortunately, but I do have some stuff to say about the food.The food is why I have 3 stars. I think my husband liked the burger and fries that he got, but I did not really like the fish tacos and nachos that I ordered. The nachos just probably needed to be reheated to be honest - my husband and I decided to eat outside that day when it was a bit chillier, and so naturally the melted nacho cheese cooled down and I personally don't like cold, melted cheese - so I did not finish that side. The fish meat in the fish tacos did not taste very good. They also included some sauces to go with the taco, but I can only use so much sauce to make up for the unpleasant taste in the fish meat. I would be open to trying something else on their menu though, it's unfortuante that the fish taco did not taste great.

We spent a morning at Poplar Beach, got hungry while there! Looked @yelp to find a lunch spot! Glad we did! Not sure what was going on with the lady missing from the counter? But another lady that happened to be inside said she'll be with you. She did come in and we order, glad we hung around! Food is good!

I've been here 5-6 times in 8 years. The food's always hot, delicious, and fairly priced. Their own beers are hit-or-miss, but the guest taps are usually great.

Every town needs a little micro brewery craft beer bar!This one is cute and serves fried potatoes. HMB needs a place like this and I'm happy to support. Russian River is server here along with their own brews.

Came here spontaneously as soon as they opened on Sunday. It was understandably open at that time but it got packed real quick. Most people sat outside because it was such a lovely day. I tried a few beers 1. Russian river pony - not a big fan2. Saison - not a big fan3. St Carls salted caramel - just okay to me4. Lagubitas Brewing - my second fave 5. Firestone Walker anniversary ale - my faveSo I got just sample sizes of my listed #4 and #5. My partner ordered the Hazy IPA. To eat, I had the BBQ wings with ranch (so good), fries and my partner had the burger (good. Needed ketchup but my partner doesn't like ketchup). Great customer service. We sat inside to play our fave board game. Such a great spot to do so. Will definitely be back

Solid little brewery in HMB area. Was out doing a video shoot when I stopped by and I'm glad we did. The food we got was tasty and fresh and the service was great! The beers on tap were average though, so we elected for some stuff from their refrigerated section which was a huge selection! Shoutout to them for also having outlets inside the sitting area so I could charge my drone batteries too. Overall solid spot and would come back, just wouldn't recommend their local beers on tap as must-haves.

Cool place with a small town vibe. Staff was friendly. Good old high calorie comfort food which was amazing on a chilly day. Beer collection is great. We has soups mac n cheese wings and they were all great. Only feedback is the tables had a lot of grime.

Outstanding place! Loved the beers and the Brussel sprouts chips were so incredibly yummo! Sitting outside and chatting with others enjoying your beers and food was a lot of fun. We wish we still lived there as we'd be there ALOT! Here's to much more continued success!
