Serving Pliny the Younger during a blackout? Five stars! $10 pours.The power cost me an ice cold beer, but 2025's version is delicious, and I didn't need to stand in line for hours to get to try it.Props to the band as well!

The halloween-themed Pacifica Rock n Roll Flea Market this past Sunday featured live music which was super loud but super good! Surf Monster, Insect Surfers, Douglas Von Irvin's Carnival, The Freak Accident... all of the bands were amazing! Lots of awesome surf music and rock tunes, and more importantly a decent sound system. Great atmosphere, the tavern walls and ceiling covered with colorful surfboards, skateboards, a skate bike (unicycle with skateboard rear wheels), stickers, posters, customized license plates, and a bit of halloween decor for this special event. A pool table, shuffleboard, and pinball machines in the back as well. We had no problems finding seating inside, with a good view of the stage, even with a growing crowd. More tables and seating were available outside, with a flea market set up in the outdoor area in the back, vendors selling all kinds of merchandise including cute purses and customized lamps, and a boatload of record stands too.The bar staff provided helpful and sufficient service. I enjoyed the alpha acid west coast IPA, though there were plenty of beer options to choose from on the menu. There was also a food truck out front, so we had a bite to eat from Satay By The Bay while enjoying our time at Winters Tavern.

My kind of bar -- no fuss local neighborhood dive with live music, great beers on tap, they make a strong Crown and ginger too =). Patrons are salt of the earth folks ranging from college age to retirees. The energy here is a place to come to be around people, strong drinks, live music, and just to get out of the house. Backyard was impressive -- plenty of picnic tables and sitting with string lights and food stand.Can't find cool bars like this these days. This was my 2nd time here and it looks like I'm gonna be a regular.

This is not your average dive bar, they have phenomenal Buz selections. The ambience is really cool and they have done a great job of bringing some fun things for people to do on top of just hanging out.

Played a gig at Winters Tavern this afternoon. Some conditions of the payout changed without communication. When I brought this up to the fellow who paid us he shrugged us off and told us to take it up with CJ, the booker/manager/owner(?). Fair enough, and I suppose our fault for not confirming details since the last gig. We were not pleased, but we accepted our defeat. Then as we're walking out the door, he calls out to us loudly for the whole bar to hear, "and if you don't like it, get the fuck out!" Literally, verbatim, this is what he said to us. This was after we entertained their patrons for almost 2 1/2 hours for a measly $26.50 per band member. Clearly, we're not in this for the pay. The vibes have always been good at Winter's and that's why we have returned year after year, but to be spoken to like this...it was beyond disrespectful. Please believe I responded to him...ahem...appropriately... Still the whole interaction was awful. Sullied what was a pretty fun gig.Bottom line - I will never return, neither to play a gig or as a patron.

As Tina Turner once sang 'You're Simply the Best.' First off - Popcorn. Buttery, salty, delightful. Secondly - beer. There's a bunch of healthy options on tap. Lighter lagers to dark stouts. CLEAN TAPS. Do you like music? Live bands every night (and some days, too). Open mics for musicians AND comedians. Is there anything these folks haven't thought of? My back doesn't hurt sitting on these stools. The sound system is righteous, and sound reinforcement means even a metal or mariachi band has the right mojo for an appreciative, attractive audience. If you're ugly, this is not the place for you. There is a *high bar* on sexy. Believe it. During better weather, the expansive beer garden often hosts pop up food trucks and outdoor music. Festivals have vendors with incredible offerings like bongs, essential oils, found art, upcycled metals, and vinyl records. There's a pool table, and pinball machines in case you, like me, enjoy fiddly, hand-worked analog entertainment. I've forgotten a night or two here, and it's been totally worth it, at least what I think I recall. Bathrooms are huge. Plenty of room to regret your choices should you pump the brakes after one too many shots. All in all, it's a warm, welcoming, chill establishment. But if you see a squirrel hoarding some stray popcorn in the parking lot for his winter stash, it's ok to say hello - just don't touch his nuts.

What a cool little roadhouse treasure hiding in plain sight ! Really cool eclectic interior. Free popcorn, nice bartenders and Pliny the elder on tap. What more does one want ? Even caught some great free live music ! Will def return. It's like a punk rock roadhouse with a heart.

Dropped by last Saturday night and it was a lot of fun. It's what a Tavern should be, happy people, drinking and enjoying the music. I had one of their delicious hot steak sandwiches that were being grilled outside.The two young guys who opened up for another band were having a great time jamming and playing their guitars. No pretentiousness, put a smile on my face!

Don't find these classic old-school taverns around anymore. It is a divey bar so expect strong drinks, lots of memorabilia and time worn interior. What they have is live music from eclectic local bands. With that, the crowd is a mix of college to senior crowd. The senior crowd actually got quite raucous, almost creating a mosh pit!The young gentleman working the bar kept the drinks flowing and made them strong as I requested.**They have a great set of rotating local beers on tap** In and outdoor seating.There was a lot of toilet paper rolls in the bathroom that I appreciate. The sink had warm water and soap! I appreciate that, too!
