Jettywave Distillery

Jettywave Distillery is a coastal treasure you can't miss! Perched right in the heart of Princeton Harbor in Half Moon Bay, this spot is a must for both locals and adventurous visitors. The bar is a playground for your taste buds--serving up expertly crafted cocktails and full flights of Jettywave's own spirits. Not into spirits? Beer lovers have plenty to smile about here, too. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Chef Jose Luis--formerly of Gibraltar Gems--creates dishes that are fresh, healthy, and bursting with flavor, each one perfectly paired with the drinks. The vibe is pure coastal magic: warm, welcoming service, a happy local energy, and cozy outdoor seating surrounded by lush gardens. On "Local Night," the place buzzes with energy--it's packed, but you'll still manage to snag a spot and soak it all in. And when the live music kicks in, it's the perfect soundtrack to your evening. If you're anywhere near Half Moon Bay, do yourself a favor--grab a drink, savor the food, and let Jettywave Distillery win you over. Highly recommended!

We had our wedding reception here and it was absolutely perfect. Kimberlee and her team were incredible to work with from start to finish. They helped guide us, were responsive, and helped us create the most perfect day that was exactly what we imagined. The space is absolutely beautiful- the fire pits, white lights, natural greenery, and overall energy were just lovely. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone who’s wanting something a little outside of the norm that still provides beauty, individual touches, and insanely good food and drinks. Our guests still have not stopped talking about how perfect it all was!

They have awesome cocktails and food! Everything is great, I personally love the mescal cocktail very much!

Jettywave was the perfect spot for our fall wedding (October 25’)- everything was pure magic! Kimberlee and her team were absolute angels. They made us feel so special and helped with everything, from planning and setup to sweet ideas and thoughtful touches. The venue is gorgeous, the vibe was cozy and everyone had the best time. Our friends are still raving about the yummy food (vegetarian options available) and amazing drinks! Thank you Kimberlee and team for handling all of the details so we could just soak in the joy. ♥️

I always enjoy my time at Jettywave! Their food is amazing, they bring great talent for live music, and their mocktails are solid. I don't drink, but my friends do, and it's nice that I can still go out with them somewhere that is a friendly vibe where they can enjoy some coacktails and I can have a fund drink as well!

Wow! What a phenomenal brewery/ cafe. The food here is just beyond outstanding. Still dreaming about them!

5/5 Great outdoor vibe. Fun seating areas for small groups. Loved the fire pit seating. 5/5 Interesting menu for food and drink. 4/5 Friendly attentive service but a bit unaccommodating. One example. We asked for cucumbers instead of gluten pita bread. Though they had cucumbers and we offered to pay more. The server said no and offered us to order a different dish. 3/5 Food ok. Drinks ok.

Very high quality distiller. Awesome bottles, and spacious fun tasting room and bar. They specialize in barrel aging with blends of local grains and spices. I did a flight with Kimberlee, she is super nice and knowledgeable.

Eat here. Food is incredible. Staff is incredible. Booze incredible. Everything incredible. Out house for bathroom but fine with me. Has a sink so what the hey. Love it.too. Use GPS if cant find it. Worth it. Quality spot.

I'm not an alcohol drinker by any means, but Jettywave's gin and cocktails are so darn good and easy to drink that I convert just for them. Their botanical gin is incredibly fragrant and their cocktails strike the perfect balance of flavor profiles. Besides their great cocktails, they also serve a yummy menu of international flavors. They have limited indoor seating as well as a cute outdoor area with bonfires. They get bonus points from me for being dog-friendly. I definitely recommend if you're a fan of gin or craft cocktails.

Worth the drive from San Francisco -- absolutely incredible spot! We stumbled on Jettywave Distillery during a Half Moon Bay weekend and were instantly hooked. The vibe is coastal-cool -- fire pits, ocean air, great music -- and the team couldn't be friendlier. You can tell they love what they do. The food from Chef Jose Luis (of Gibraltar Gems) was amazing -- bold, fresh, and way beyond typical bar fare. Every dish felt intentional and perfectly matched the cocktails. Speaking of drinks, the Cold Plunge Martini and California Botanical Gin were standouts -- smooth, inventive, and beautifully presented. It's rare to find a place that nails atmosphere, hospitality, and quality in equal measure, but Jettywave does it effortlessly. We live in SF and would happily make the drive again just to hang out here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that perfect mix of coastal relaxation, craft spirits, and seriously good food. Run, don't walk, to this place!

Enjoyable experience. Plenty of seating outdoors with fire heat lamps and a covered indoor for tastings and merch. We tried a few dishes, including butternut squash soup and the Japanese pumpkin curry, which had good flavor. I wish portion sizes were a bit larger, but I guess we were here for the distillery with food as the added bonus. The spirits themselves were great, so I recommend the cocktails and flights (I got the Marine Layer). Service is mainly order at the bar and pick up yourself to bring to your table, but overall nice.

Great joint, with a killer vibe and a cool selection of in house spirits. Awesome service Julia rocks.

One of the trendiest spots in Half Moon Bay, just steps from the beach. We came here for brunch on a beautiful sunny Saturday -- a little chilly, but they had the firepits going, which made it cozy and perfect. The whole place gives off super chill, lazy weekend morning vibes. The food was as creative as it was beautiful -- definitely Instagram-worthy. My salad was outstanding, fresh and flavorful, and the flourless chocolate cake caught my eye... glad I tried it, because I'd honestly come back just for that. The space itself is a win: spacious outdoor seating, dog-friendly, and a lovely indoor setup too. Overall, Jettywave is the kind of spot that makes Half Moon Bay weekends feel special. Perfect for: brunch with friends after a beach walk.

Really cute place, highly recommend sitting out in the yard and turn on the fire place. Specialty cocktails (may be an acquired taste for some) with food options. Near by walking distance to the water.

Came here for a private event and really enjoyed ourselves. The drinks and the food were really great. The bartenders are kind of slow though and weren't too friendly. The outdoor vibe is great - lots of seating, with heaters and fire pits. Would definitely come back again if I'm in HMB.

I didn't get a chance to attend the Yelp event they had for this place but I heard great things and had to check it out. This place is spacious and has lots of seating outdoors as well as indoor spots. They have bourbon and they also have a few other spirits. Their specialty is gin. I tried the One Wet Nob and it was tasty! Amazing and fragrant with the herbal deliciousness. The foods were also sooo amazing! Loved the refreshing take on the Moroccan salas and the South African Bobotie was rich and flavorful. This came with coconut rice. I want to have this again. It was so yummy. The sliced almonds and crunchy topping hit the spot and added complexity to this dish. It's dog friendly. Staff were nice as well. They don't have many restrooms so that can be a bit of an issue with a wait. Otherwise, cool spot!

We came by for drinks after a walk along the bay and it was a very comfortable outdoor spot. They have an indoor bar too for tastings of their own distillery products but we just tried a couple of their cocktails. Pretty good and interesting flavors! They had food offerings too but we didn't get any. The people there were so friendly and efficient too!

Umm mixed feels about this place. Confusing at first, because it's not clear how "things" work here. If you see an open table, grab it or have someone from your party sit there as you walk straight back to the bar area and order drinks. They will then explain that you order and pay for drinks separately from the food and beer truck. Nice that they are very dog friendly here. The food that we did try was cute- nice use of pre-prepped ingredients for the Meze plate and all the little salads were good. Just hard to navigate, order the drinks, walk over to order food, sit down if lucky to get a table, back to check on the drinks and someone needs to get the food that is ready. We didn't sit together for a while as one had to sit with the dogs so we didn't lose the table. Didn't try any of the spirits. We wouldn't come back unless staying within walking distance.

We stopped by on a chilly Saturday afternoon for lunch. There was plenty of outdoor sitting in the dog friendly patio. We didn't order drinks, but enjoyed their delicious food. They have vast menu options for all the taste buds. There was an employee raking the patio while we ate which caused dust to go everywhere, but otherwise we had a pleasant experience.

Such a fun spot with delicious cocktails! Stopped by after lunch with a group of 5. The staff is so friendly and attentive! I love how they have card games and plenty of fire pits. Between our group, we ordered: the perfect matcha, humpback migration, harbormaster's old fashioned, marine layer, messed up margarita, mezze platter, antipasto platter. My favorite was the messed up margarita with mezcal! They don't offer your traditional bar food so you won't find nachos, fries, and chicken strips here. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Must stop if you are in Half Moon Bay! From the drinks to the vibes, this distillery was literally SO impressive. I don't explore Half Moon Bay often but after experiencing this spot, I need to frequent more. I love the indoor/outdoor concept. You can cozy up outside next to a firepit or grab a seat at the bar and watch the bartenders hand craft these tasty cocktails. We had a group of 4 + a pup on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't super busy, so we had the flexibility to sit anywhere. We opted for a firepit spot near the entrance. We ordered at the bar and they were kind enough to bring our drinks out to us. It gave beer garden vibes, a cocktail garden if you will. I started with the coffee martini, absolutely tasty. I also had the marine layer and I can't even describe how good it was. I stopped myself at two drinks but trust, I could've kept going. Although, I didn't have a bite here, I was surprised to see such elevated food at a distillery. Very unique menu and everything looked and smelled delicious as it was coming out. You cannot put a price on drinks this good. They were also playing great music the entire time. I can't wait to come back!

Food here is absolutely amazing! We found Jettywave via a Yelp event a few weeks ago. So glad we discovered this gem. We lunched here while walking the Pillar Point bluffs. Detoured mid-walk for lunch. I had Panang curry chicken and my wife had the South African bobotie. The bobotie is some of the best curry I've ever eaten!

Awesome place! Came across this gem while we were vacationing near Montara Beach over the Thanksgiving holiday. Fun atmosphere with outdoor patio and fire tables. Friendly servers that are helpful, happy, and knowledgeable. We had a party of 4 adults and 3 kids. There was something to drink and snack for everyone. We tried the cocktails - margarita was yummy! And some of us tried the bourbon flight. We shared a Mediterranean snack platter with pitas, hummus, and olives. Flourless chocolate cake was good! Hubby purchased a bottle of distiller's select small batch bourbon to take home. Overall, great place to visit and hang out! Enjoyed this place so much and hope we can visit again.

Lovely hidden gem in half moon bay! - Great drink selection and delicious food. We love the variety of liquors here, especially the gin! - Super friendly staff. They're very knowledgeable about their liquors and the process of making them. - Spacious indoor and outdoor space. They have a beautiful outdoor area of tables and heaters. There's a stage for live music too. The indoor space is nice and cozy. It's great for friends hang, celebration or happy hour!

Was introduced to Jettywave at a recent Yelp event and stumbled upon its main store during a weekend visit to Half Moon Bay! We had cocktails over some live music which was super fun and the perfect little getaway for Sunday to relax. Afterwards, boyfriend really want to try the gins so we also added on a tasting (6 tips of your choice). My personal favorite was the single malt which starts off grassy but finishes nutty with just the barest bit of bitterness. It was unique in my opinion and very pleasant. I also enjoyed the grain spirit which is a bit sweeter with deep caramel notes and the coffee liqueur which has a beautiful floral espresso note to start and finishes nicely. Boyfriend liked the gins and small batch bourbon the best...so luckily that meant we liked the whole flight overall haha. I wanted to pick up the cocktail kit as a gift but sadly they had no more stock sans the display one which had a peeling label. Super unfortunate! Regardless the atmosphere at Jettywave was great and I'm sure it would be loads more fun with sunny weather so I'm sure we'll be back.

We stopped by Jettywavea whim last month and my husband got the Harbor masters old fashioned and I got the humpback migration. Both were delicious!! They have plenty of different seating options with most having a heating element close by. We brought our two young kids who entertained themselves with the communal games. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing is they are pretty pricey. Almost $40 for two drinks with tip. We will still be back as we loved the atmosphere and the drinks were very good.

​This is a true hidden gem. No need to drive anywhere--it's a perfect spot whether the weather is good or bad. Enjoy the comfy vibe, great food, and delicious drinks.

I fell in love with this distillery! Not only are the drinks good, all factors of ambience, music, interior and games are on point. There are indoor and outdoor dining available. There is tasting menu to try different alcohol and shots. There are many choices of nicely crafted cocktails. My favorite is definitely the Marine Layer. We also tried a dessert crumble. But I believe you can also dine and order meals as well. This is a lovely place to bring friends or dates. There are many board games and jenga available as well. Highly recommend this place!

Having previously attended a Yelp Elite event at Jettywave, I was so impressed that I couldn't wait to come back! My friends and I decided to venture to Half Moon Bay for a hike, so it was the perfect opportunity to bring them to Jettywave to grab some food and drinks. We arrived around 4pm on Saturday and it was pretty full! Lucky for us, we were able to snag the last parking spot in the lot out back. There was a private event going on in one section, but we were able to find a large table inside, which was perfect for our party of six. It would have been nice to sit by a firepit, but it was getting chilly and not conducive for eating in my opinion. We ended up having two rounds of drinks and tried an assortment of food. I started with the Messed Up Margarita, which was perfectly balanced and refreshing. I also had the Humpback Migration, which packed a punch! The serrano pepper was surprisingly spicy, but I enjoyed it! I sampled my other friends' drinks too, including The Marine Layer and The Perfect Matcha! Both were delicious! I ordered a cup of the lobster bisque and wild mushrooms over polenta for my entree. While the flavor of the bisque was spot on, the temperature was luke warm, at best. It definitely needed to be hotter! The mushrooms were absolutely amazing though! They were seasoned well and served over a bed of creamy polenta. My friends also ordered the beef curry, penang curry, pozole and beef kofte. I tried a bite of the pozole and thought it was delicious! That was served piping hot, I just wanted to add. Everyone in my party enjoyed their cocktails and food! We also had the mezze platter, which was great for sharing. This place has the best food of any brewery/distillery that I've been to! The people in my party kept raving how good everything was and how cute the place was! I'm so glad everyone had a great time!!!

Sweet distillery serving up liquor flights, craft cocktails, and food. As soon as we walked up we were greeted by an employee that gave us the low down - liquor flights and cocktails inside the tasting room, food outside in one of the stands (though could order anywhere), and guest cocktail takeover in another outside stand. We opted for inside to do the liquor flights, though we'll definitely sit outside next time to enjoy one of the many fire pits. They had 3 different liquor flight options, 2 that were set and one build your own, all raiding in the $13-$16 range. I went with the build your own and tried two each of their moonshines, vodkas, and gins. The honey moonshine was my favorite of all. After the flight (they were small pours - perfect for tasting), I switched to a craft cocktail and went with the one wet nob. Liked my cocktail, and a bunch of the other ones on the menu sounded great. Wasn't easy picking which to get. Inside seating consisted of bar or some high tops, while outside was a lot of four top table, chairs around fire pits, and even a few table with fire pits built in. We had a slightly different experience here as the power went off about 5 minutes after we arrived, but the team thought fast and made it possible to still enjoy just about everything they had to offer. Excited to come back here and enjoy a cocktail in the "bonfire lounge".

5 stars all around!! We ordered a couple of shared plates ....delish!! I called ahead of time to reserve a table for a large party and accommodated us; we would be happy anywhere because the outside ambiance was all perfect! Service friendly and fast. The drinks, there is amazing options to choose from and was not disappointed with our selections. I would need to visit many more times to try them all! Would 100% recommend!

This place was just up the way from where we were staying. It's a great hangout spot, but wow was it expensive. My wife had the Julia's Vegan Salad and she really enjoyed it...but it was small! Two drinks and the salad ran us close to $60. I doubt we'd ever go back based on cost alone. They have lots of heat lamps and it's a chill place to sit back and relax. We just can't justify the $$$ for what we got.

Came here as a recommendation from a friend and wow the food here was amazing. Ive been coming to halfmoon bay all of my life and never knew about this place. The food and drinks were incredible and the staff is super friendly. Thwy had a live band playing here too on the weekend so it was a lot of fun. I do think the berry pie i got was a tad underbaked but overall still really good

We came by for drinks after a walk along the bay and it was a very comfortable outdoor spot. They have an indoor bar too for tastings of their own distillery products but we just tried a couple of their cocktails. Pretty good and interesting flavors! They had food offerings too but we didn't get any. The people there were so friendly and efficient too!

Tbe cocktails are fantastic and I really enjoyed the indoor/outdoor seating area. Food, on the other hand, was an entirely different story. The pengang curry I had only had spicy flavor to it but not other spices. The salmon plate was rather bland. Not sure if we just experienced an off day but think we'll stick to the liquors and avoid the foodstuff in the future.

Amazing choice of drinks, from soft to hard. Impressive! The food was what was most amazing here, though. I never expected gourmet-level dishes at a place like this or at such reasonable prices. I wanted to eat everything on the menu. I don't think I've ever had cauliflower as good as it was here. If you are in HMB, you have to go here.

The food was all very, very tasty! Thank you!! We had the maze platter, chicken skewer, cauliflower skewer, beef pita and bobatie. Every dish was so tasty. Such a great variety of flavors. Ambience and music was great!

I often walk around Pillar Point and make my way to Princeton where the waterfront eateries are. I've noticed this place along the way though it was usually at a time when it wasn't open to the public. On one particular afternoon, I saw there were people milling about with drinks in their hands, so I thought there was a private event. Did I just crash a wedding reception? Turned out I was right as I took a closer look, but I also noticed a converted trailer serving cocktails and what's more, it was open to anybody. It even has a name, The Swell Lounge, an apt name because that was the first word that came to my head. Yes, I'm the type that still says 'Swell' or worse, 'Swellegant'. Cole Porter died after I was born, so I can't be his reincarnation, can I? Anyhow, I was taken by the cute names. In the mood for a Moscow Mule, I ordered the $15 Paddle the Volga, an intoxicating mix of offshore vodka, lime, blackberry, sage, and ginger beer in the appropriate tin cup (photo: https://yelp.to/KHEpu3eT1m). I was able to nurse it in their large patio area where I kept wondering if I should've brought a gift. Silver tongs are always nice. They could use them to shake hands. I was ready for a second drink, the $15 Humpback Migration, a margarita doppelgänger with blanco tequila, pineapple-serrano pepper juice, lime, and blackberry sage syrup. It came with a salty-spicy rim (photo: https://yelp.to/cHoT3VDW3Q). This one was quite tasty and almost had me consider the variety of appetizing small plates and desserts they make here, but I had to position myself for the bouquet. COCKTAILS - 4 stars...nice libations with creative variations on a Moscow Mule and a margarita AMBIANCE - 4 stars...even if it felt like an event space, it was still a nice setting SERVICE - 4 stars...the bartender was attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...a reason to chill in HMB RELATED - Exploring the Pacific side of the peninsula?

Short story: lots of options for great food and drinks, food truck style, but stylish and quality. Longer story: Half Moon Bay, the close escape for the Bay Area seeking beach vibes and good food. The horrific traffic getting here is a pretty good filter, as is the massive wait times at the standards like Sam's. We came out looking for some fun at the beach, and it turns out everyone else was, too. By the time we'd crawled up and over the 92, made it past the frustration of people turning in and out of the nurseries, Lemo's Farm, and the iron sculpture place, our patience was frazzled. The parking spots were as packed as the beach, and we gave ourselves up for cooked. Making a wrong turn (frustrated by the endless flow of north-bound PCH), we stumbled upon Jetty Wave. Like an oasis of relaxation in the stress, we found nearby parking not too difficult and went in. We were surrounded by options, especially the vegetarians among us! Along with Jetty Wave itself there were several food trucks that offered amazing options. Getting an order in was FAST, and multiple kitchens made the service snappy. I had a cauliflower steak with incredible seasoning, while tasting the green peppercorn pork tenderloin. Incredible flavor and perfectly done. With the growth of Waymo, we'll be coming a lot more as the spirits are fantastic (the gin!!!) as are the cocktails. The mocktails go down way too fast!! Catch the Wave. It's a great spot in HMB

The food is fabulous!! Great adorable restaurant with the best food ever! Got a pork soup that was out of this world and the best margarita ever! I will be back soon.

I'm just love Jettywave. All of their drinks are so good and unique, the atmosphere is great, and when it's a nice day on the coast that's the only place I want to be. Everyone there is so kind and welcoming! I love their Swell Lounge, it's such a cute outdoor pop up and they tend to have drinks not made inside. My favorite drink there is definitely the Sea Hugger and 20% is donated locally!

Much like a beer garden, Jettywave offers delicious libations in a cozy outdoor setting. There is an inside area, but it is small in comparison with the outside seating bringing the appeal. Cocktails are pricey, but they are craft made with quality ingredients you can taste and see in their presentation. There is no wait staff, but the line for cocktails moves fast. I have yet to drink a cocktail I didn't like from this place. They do serve food, but I cannot speak to the menu or dishes because we've only ever had some drinks here. But it looks and smells delicious. Remember to dress in layers and head on out to this gem in HMB. There is music and some great people watching on weekends, not to mention dog watching and petting too. We enjoy ourselves ever time we come.

This is a hidden gem, a little off of the beaten path in half moon bay! But don't be fooled it's literally right off the highway. Delicious cocktails that are hand crafted all ingredients and juices used are fresh and fantastically balanced. I could have drank and tried every single one. I had the wahaca sour one that is pictured in martini glass, and a sea hugger the blue one pictured. Also, did a whisky tasting and those were good as well but prefer and recommend the cocktails. We tried the 3 deserts which were good, I wanted the deserts crusts for the apple dessert to be cooked more. Waited about 20 min for the deserts and when I received them, they had given me the incorrect one of the 2. They corrected it but kind of another long wait. However, this is a great find. Food looks delicious and fresh but we didn't get a chance to try this

Woweee, this place is a gem! My boyfriend and I had an hour free before our dinner reservations nearby. I am so glad we stopped by this distillery. We both ordered the Marine Layer and were VERY pleased. The staff was friendly and helpful and we found a lot of different places to sit. We loved the atmosphere, earlier they had live music and were pretty crowded. We were happy to come when it was quieter. We came an hour before closing and saw how things were nicely winding down for this popular destination. When we come back we already know our drink order however we will be ordering food since they had so many great choices.

This is a great place for drinks, food, and chill vibes. There's indoor and outdoor seating, a bar inside and outside, and the kitchen is outside. Parking can be a bit of a struggle. I imagine during the warmer months, this place is more packed. Tastings are only available inside. We got the spirit tasting and the absinth drip. I love their spirit tastings. You can choose up to 6 from their list of gin, vodka, whiskey, and absinth. We tried both gins, the aged vodka, honey moonshine, small batch bourbon, and single malt bourbon. We enjoyed it all. One of the staff is really knowledgeable about the distilling process. It was really cool to listen and learn. If you like licorice, the absinth drip is tasty and refreshing. We also ordered the CA Gold Rush, which was also very good! For food, we got items from their specials menu: pozole verde & mushroom and ricotta crostini. Both were delicious! The pozole is not too authentic, but it still tastes great. It was worth the drive up from SJ to check this place out. We went home with a bottle of their honey moonshine!

Fun, Fun, Fun. Head over to Jettywave for outdoor (and some indoor) entertainment, bites, and drinks. Very creative ocean-themed cocktails, many made with their own distilled spirits. Outdoor seating around firepits is so fun. Make sure you check out the food here - Gibraltar Gems. The food from previous Gibraltar on the coast served with a twist for the Distillery. Chef Jose Luis delivers Mediterranean and Latin food that explodes with flavors you don't expect together. Head on over when the weather permits - check for days/dates they are open.

Whisky Business I only stopped in to pick up some of their housemade libations, but I was really impressed by their whole scene here. *Bartender was friendly, helpful, and didn't rush me as I perused their offerings. *Their menu looks really interesting, with lots of international dishes. *Lots of craft cocktails featuring their handmade spirits. *Great family-friendly vibe, décor, and atmosphere *Private parking lot, which is clutch because parking can be a b¡tch in this area during peak season. I can't wait to come back one day and some their food and drinks, but for now, I'm enjoying their spirits at home. Until next time--sláinte!

Great quality and drinks are made perfectly, the foods so good I burped an hr later and it tasted delicious. The staff is really cool and definitely knows there stuff, they have live entertainment here and they even have board and card games if you just wanted to hang out .

We met the owner of this place over at Johnson Pier and decided to check it out! And I am so glad we did!! I had the pork tenderloin, and let me say, I've never eaten such good pork in my life!! I am not bluffing LOL. It was super tender and juicy, and the sauce paired perfect with it. The mashed potatoes under it were the perfect combo of sweet and spicy with some coleslaw to add some texture. Solid 11/10. I also had a drink: the boogie board! I am not really a drinker, so having solid non-alcoholic drinks is a big selling point for me. And this was really good!! It's like a virgin moscow mule with other great stuff added in it! Lastly, the environment is beautiful! You're still close enough to the bay for a slight view, but the place is awesome with all the decor and flowers. Parking is pretty easy to access with side streets and a mini lot behind the restaurant too. Overall, this place is great and I'll definitely stop by next time I'm in the area!

Ambience was very nice where it felt like a chill food hall near the ocean. Lots of heated lamps to provide comfort. But what was the most important was the food quality. For a tiny little kitchen they were able to make a big impact with flavor. Super tasty with fresh savory flavors. All of our plates were nice and juicy, nothing dry. Also did a spirits tasting that was exceptional as well. Corn based vodka, gin, coffee liqueur as well as a strong absinthe. Spot on. Great job guys!

Beautiful place that's well decorated. Ample seating with heaters outside to keep you warm. Drinks were amazing and everyone was extremely friendly Food platters were a great addition to gin flights we ordered

I threw a Welcome Party / Rehearsal Dinner at Jetty Wave for 45 people. The location was great and working with Kimberly, the manager, was wonderful. She held my hand through all the planning and multiple emails a week leading up to the big event. The food, as always, was delicious, and the cocktails were sparkling. We had an area roped off to ourselves and everyone had a great time. Our bartenders were fast and fun. The service was great. Thank you so much!

A cute little distillery serving up interesting moonshines and various liquors. This place, like most places in the HMB area, is definitely a visit just for its cuteness but they also serve up some interesting cocktails. We got the spirits flight, which was a great starter as they're thimble shots, so you're not going to get hammered. The flavored moonshines, especially the shiso one, were delicious but the plain ones like their vodka and gin were just okay. That being said, the botanical gin in the Marine Layer cocktail was absolutely delicious, so YMMV. We only stopped here for a little bit before our dinner rez but it was a delightful stop over. Shout out to the airstream bar as well as Nicole for being fun at the main bar (and even willing to take our photos!). Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! --- sweet: friendly service, delicious cocktails, and GAMES bitter: some liquors "just okay", but maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough to appreciate small batch :D

Came here for a basset hound meetup. Overall super accommodating and super dog friendly! They had dog treats so ready and did photos of all our bassets. We were in a corner that was spacious and close to all the places to order food and drinks, yet still far enough from other patrons. As for food, I got the salmon, s'mores cookie, cookies, and two cocktails. The staff were all friendly and overall loved the food presentation. They also cleared up plates/cups super quickly which was great so I didn't have to worry about any of the dogs trying to jump up to sneak a lick.

This was a fun and unique experience. The ambiance was clean, hip and comfortable. We went here right after eating, when we got there we realized they have a small menu that looked pretty good. We didn't get any food since we were full. We tasted 2 vodkas, 2 gins & 2 bourbon. I'm not a big drinker of spirits, I do like the occasional gin martini. I went in there with the intent to taste the gin. I loved their classic botanical gin and ended up purchasing a bottle. I highly recommended this place on your next Half Moon Bay trip. We will definitely be back to try the cocktails and food.

We really enjoyed the outdoor seating, food menu, and drink options at Jettywave Distillery. A bit expensive, but overall fairly priced given the location, high quality food/alcohol. Very dog friendly! 10/10 would recommend.
