Food Scene
Amazing locally sourced food in a comfortable pub-like setting. Great beer list and one of the only places you can find Automatic Brewing Company. Game friendly. Dogs allowed in front patio. We go here at least once a week. Oh, and brunch on Sunday is to die for!

A must-see if you have a car and like beer! A bar at the end of a fishing pier. Yes, people will be catching fish around you. Gorgeous views of the city and the ocean. We have seen a lot of seals hanging out waiting for the fishermen to clean their fish. The owner also makes his own sausage and pickled veggies, so go hungry! Mostly outdoor seating (bring a jacket, the ocean breeze can be chilly) and dog-friendly outside.

Locally-source, super-fresh seafood ceviche. Also have many vegetarian options. The Ensanada ceviche tostada is my personal fave. Some seats inside, more tables outside by the sidewalk which are dog-friendly. You can also order, walk a few houses down to Fall Brewing and have your ceviche delivered to you!

Cash only bar with an really good bottled beer selection (no drafts, no cans) and strong drinks. They almost always have Pliny the Elder bottles. You won't find a fancy cocktail here, but if you're looking for something strong, cheap, and with a jutebox and pool tables, this is the spot. Bring your own food, dog friendly.
