Where To Eat And Drink In San Luis Obispo - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Just 20 minutes up PCH from SLO is Morro Bay, a little beach town famous for a giant rock that juts out of the ocean. It’s also a great place to watch the sunset. And, while the town is lined with plenty of ocean-facing bars, our favorite is The Libertine Pub. The second location of the popular SLO brewery (which specializes in sours), Libertine Pub has a divey feel, a solid bar food menu if you get hungry, live music, and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water. This is also an ideal pre-drinks spot before heading up to dinner at Cass House." - Brant Cox

I came here from Colorado as a kid in 1980 for my 1st fish n chips ever!! It was called the Fish Bowl. Sometime in the past it changed to the brewery....Love it!! Love the local ales!! Highly recommended the fried pickles!! Our bar tender was very cool and ran that place!!! Will be back for sure!!

Awesome pub to chill and completely relax. They had a live band playing which kept the place toe tapping vibrant and fun. Amazing singer and band players: “Live Again Band “ lead singer was Alex from Santa Cruz. Good varieties of beers some wines and they make 3 types of mimosas. As usual they serve bar food which is not bad. The best part is that they are right on the harbour front so when you dine and drink one can gaze deep into the ocean.

Great food and beer. Ordered fish & chips as well as shrimp & chips. The shrimp tasted better than the fish. Also ordered the fried pickles and they were delicious. The beer selection was great, but you have to order everything at the bar so there's no table service. Also, it had great views of Morro Bay but the windows were really dirty.

Top notch beer. Lovely sours. Highly recommend getting the flights of sours. You can enjoy some tasty appetizers that complement the beer. Very friendly staff. they can educate you on the beer menu to help you find your drink of choice. Awesome atmosphere. Right next to the water. You'll probably spot a seal lion!

Paul the bartender, thank you for treating everyone as equals whether they know everything or nothing about beer. You were friendly, told stories, checked on the patrons and I can tell you really dig your job. 10/10 The view is great 10/10 the food is decent 4/10. The beer is good 8/10. The only thing we always notice (because we visit every-time we are in Morro) is that the space could use a bit more aesthetic love. We get that it’s a funky eclectic place, but looks run down and we wish the owners would take a bit more pride in the condition of the environment.

Wish this was in my hood. $10 wine pour of some of the best central coast has to offer. Really good beer selection, and the food was amazing. Totchos are my new favorite thing. The jalepeno popper things were amazing too. They were playing 40oz to freedom start to finish which is amaze. Great view of the bay, screens to catch up on sports, a ping pong table and ultra friendly and helpful staff. Literally couldn't ask for anything else.

This place is what you make of it. I always have fun. Libertine offers a stellar view of the rock and the bay's activities. They have a nice beer selection and good food. We had a beer sampler which gave us a chance to enjoy several flavors, along with a tasty lunch which consisted of fish tacos, fish 'n chips and salads. They even offer Coors Lite and Bud Lite if those speak to you. Be prepared to get a bit shamed for ordering them though, lol. This is a cool dark bar, go check it out.

Super fun atmosphere, had live music while we were there. I loved the mimosas especially because they did not skimp out on the champagne. Staff was also very nice and attentive!

A sour lovers paradise! 6 sours on tap are you kidding me? I'm already in love just with the variety of beverages on tap and in can. I can't recommend their house made sours enough. If you are a sour fan you must make the visit. (Wine by the glass too if that's what you are looking for.) Incredible views of Morro rock through huge windows. I can't imagine there is a better view from another business along the Embarcadero. Vinyl records are the music ambiance for the bar when live bands aren't here. I can't express how much I appreciate a bar that actually uses their record player. You can hear the difference. I can't speak to the whole menu but omg thank you for having a flavorful vegan taco. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the best vegan taco I've had at a restaurant (ever) and I've been to an all vegan Mexican restaurant. I am going to keep popping in to buy more vegan tacos on the constant I hope that's okay. Highly recommend the black bean version but I hear they have impossible too.

Went right when they opened. Food was good, the beer was good, service was good. Guacamole was amazing. The bathroom was messy, no toilet covers, no paper towels, soap dispenser empty and toilet paper all over the floor. We grabbed ketchup from three different tables before we found one with enough to use. Overall not a bad experience but I feel like right at opening it when things should be in the best condition..

Such a darling little pub. Lots of games and things to do and the bartender Jake is really nice and personable. Beer and wine only, but the wine was really good and the conversation was great. We love this little place! Cheers!

We will absolutely miss this awesome place. We loved the sours on tap, we loved the food, all of the apps and burgers were amazing. My kids especially will miss the view and being able to wave at the folks passing by on their boats. We will truly miss this place. Noticed it said closed, we had to drive over to actually make sure it was closed. We will try their sister store.

Had an absolutely amazing time at this bar. It may not be the newest or fanciest spot on the block but let me tell you it's one of the best!! First off, James our bartender is phenomenal. Such an awesome guy.great drinks and great conversation. We even got a chance to meet the owner. By far one of the sweetest ladies. I think she made me love this place even more. This bar has tons of history!! My boyfriend was having beer all which he enjoyed. Then had an Irish mule which he said was super good. I stuck to my margaritas with Tajin on the rim. Yum! The bar is small but the ambiance is very laid back family friendly. They have a pool table and they are dog friendly!! Stop in for a drink or quick bite to eat you won't be disappointed!

Great food, beers, music, along with a beautiful view of the ocean-can't ask for a better place to relax after a busy family beach day. We tried fish n chips and their clam chowder-both great. Alhough Libertine is known for their sour beers, they actually had a nice selection of guest brews on tap. Friendly service. Seemed like a lot of locals and not a packed touristy place which was great. Would definitely go back anytime I'm in Morro Bay.

I'm half-tempted to give this a worse review just so I can keep it to myself! I came here about a decade ago with my family when it was the only place open after we drove over from pretty far away. Even with a few kids 16 and under they were really welcoming. I came again just the other night with my husband to revisit some memories and see how good the alcohol is now that I'm legal haha. The food is JUST as phenomenal as I remember it; just really satisfying and well-done. The cider we had was also so incredible; we almost brought some back to TX with us. We loved being able to sit inside or outside, while watching the sea lions bark as the sun set and listening to a great band. (They also provide seating far enough from the music if you'd like to get a little more quiet).

My boyfriend took me on a mini vacation to Morro Bay. On the way to dinner, we had some time to burn so we decided to grab a drink from The Libertine Pub. They have a patio with a view of Morro Bay, but we spent our time inside. They had a pretty extensive list of beer and cider, which we were able to try a sample of a few before ordering pints. The bartender was very nice and gave us some great tips on styles of beer, including information on where the breweries were located. We ordered an order of fries while we enjoyed a couple of beers, talked to the bartender and looked around. The place is pretty eclectic with dollar bills everywhere with writing on them, some are pretty funny. We enjoyed our little stop into this pub and the selection of beer and cider we tried while here. Stop in and check it out.

The Libertine Pub is my #1 favorite spot to grab a cold one in Morro Bay (one of my favorite vacation spots in Central California). My fiancé's favorite style of beer is Berlinerweiss, which is a sour type of beer. When traveling, it is really difficult to find a brewery or bar that supplies, much less brews a sour. Imagine our surprise and glee when we discovered that all of Libertine's home-brewed beers are sour! My fiancé/travel companion loves to ask which beer on tap is the most sour (I call it drinking a warhead). The bartenders at Libertine are happy to suggest which one they think is the most sour, as well as their favorite beer. I have seen sour IPAs, sour pale ales, sour blondes, and much more here. They truly have perfected the art of sour brewing. They have beautiful atmosphere, reflecting the nautical themes in many of Morro Bay's bars and seafood restaurants. The restaurant overlooks the beautiful Pacific Ocean over Morro Bay harbor. The food is really good. I highly recommend the deep-fried artichokes, the shrimp tacos, and the mango habanero chicken wings. They also have great live music here from time to time. I have never seen a bad band on their stage.

Cutest hidden gem. We were in Morro Bay for a weekend getaway and all the restaurants had a wait. No wait here and everything was fantastic! Fish tacos, rose wine, great beer, yummy bread bowl clam chowder, fun crew! We will be returning!

What a nice spot in Morro Bay. We came to watch the boat parade and had a great view of the water. I can't tell you much about the beer but the holiday cider they had was amazing! We ordered the totchos (nachos but with tater tots) and the friend pickles as an appetizer. So good. Never even heard of totchos but that's the only way I want my nachos from now on. Oh and get extra ranch, because one cup isn't nearly enough. :) The place has an Old English Pub feel to it and it gets crowded very quickly or at least it did the night we went. There was a line to the bar that went outside the building. Super fun spot and definitely will be back again.

I'll start off with saying I showed up as they opened and normally that doesn't end well in other places but this place shocked me with how well I was attended to and how quickly my food was prepared If you're in the area and looking to try a good place to eat, definitely stop here you won't regret it, I'll will come back the next time I'm in town

Ended up here after a bad experience at the brewery a ways up. Was planning on grabbing just a round of beers before dinner but ended up staying for 3 rounds :) Mike was awesome and very friendly. Left him a $27 tip just for making our first day in Morro Bay welcoming. We had been driving for 4 hours, after checking into the hotel and freshening up...we were thirsty and thank goodness Mike came to our rescue!

After walking around, and checking out the sights, we were in need of cold beers and calamari. We were walking by the Libertine, when we stopped to check out the menu out front. I could hear a Led Zeppelin song being played inside, and that was enough for me. We went in, got two cold ones, calamari, and artichoke hearts. It was just what the doctor ordered! The food portions were good sized, and the beers were cold! A pretty good beer list, as well as the food menu!

The Libertine Pub in the touristy downtown strip of Morro Bay is not what it was before COVID (at least according to my friend, who had been there before), but it was an enjoyable place to grab a beer and watch the sunset on another gorgeous seaside Spring day. We walked in (again, based on my friend's recommendation) to quench our thirst and were initially surprised that half the place is closed due to - you guessed it - COVID. There was still a great atmosphere in the back area, where there is both a big enclosed patio and a little seating area outside. We ordered a couple local beers and chose the latter, where the cool wind and the beers set the tone for a relaxing view of the sunset. While there, we admired some friendly pups (and the fact that they are pup-friendly) and reminisced about how long it had been since we'd just sat and enjoyed a beer. One of the features I was hoping for, full classic albums played via vinyl, was also happening, just inside. I heard the soothing sound of Elton John's Honky Tonk Chateau upon entering and leaving. I believe that when things return to normal, they display the album playing at the end of the bar for all to see. I'll be back for that. Most definitely.

We had top notch service and felt very welcome from the minute we came through the door. We stopped for a small bite and to rest our feet. There's views throughout. It's not a fancy place. You feel like it's been here a while but mainly filled with a middle age crowd. They have a good selection of rotating beers and a $3 mimosas special when we came. There's two sections to this establishment. I'm not positive but I think one is more a bar and the other more like a typical dinner place with a small bar. I just walked by the bar which seemed really neat with dollar bills hanging everywhere but never actually entered it. I didn't realize they were part of the same establishment at the time. Music was playing and it gave a cool vibe but we were looking for something a little bit quieter. The food... my husband got fish n chips. I loved the fish. Big, flaky, beer battered, great flavor and cooked perfectly. The chips... just your typical french fries. Actually kinda reminds me of In-n-Out fries. The clam chowder....... HOMERUN! I loved the slightly smoky bacon flavor but could use more clams. Definitely a must get for me. Messy Nachos with ground-beef not so much. My husband liked them. I was lacking flavor on the ground beef. Basically large chunks of ground beef seasoned with just a little salt n pepper. I was looking for more bold flavors since it is a nacho after all. The chips were great and held up without becoming soggy. Our server was attentive, quick, and welcoming. Absolutely coming back. I had to deduct a star due to the bathroom situation. The smell, it wasn't coming from use, but rather likely the open pipe of and old removed urinal plugged with a rag or a seal that needs replaced. It permeates raw sewage. It desperately needs fixing. Watch your patrons faces as they leave. With that being said I would still come back for the service, view, and food. I might even check out the bar and leave a dollar!

Two words... come here. Two more... fish tacos. And lastly, two more... great sours! When in Morro Bay this is a wonderful place to have a chill lunch. Don't miss it! And by all means talk to Lizzy about horn bands. She has great taste in music. Played some Louis Prima for us. A very happy spot.

I have been here a few times now. We are close by from Pismo. The beer selection is ok. All their options are ciders but they carry others. The place smells. Its dingy and gross. The food is barely edible. I have definitely gone here for my last time. 3 stars is generous. Would not recommend.

I went here for dinner Friday night and they had a bluegrass band playing. It was a mix of a brewery and a restaurant and being in Morro Bay, we wanted to have something good to eat. I had the fish and chips and they were unlike any cut I've had before. They came in flat filets but there was enough meat to enjoy the two pieces that came on my plate. The batter was perfect too. My girlfriend ordered a poke plate and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. The service was slow but then again so was the place for food. It appeared that we were late for dinner as everyone was basically there to see the band playing. Hopefully, for anyone who comes to this establishment, the atmosphere will be a little livelier.

Great place to have a beer near the water. They also have a restaurant attached with live music. Enjoyed speaking to the bartender - Mace. Definitely check this place out!

Some great beers but the place is a dive. So much potential but it's so run down. They should take all the dollars in the window and invest them in fixing up the place. Clean the bathroom! A waterfront place like that should be packed and it was pretty empty. If not for the few Libertine beers, I would have left. Casa de Sponge Bob sour pineapple (great) Bella Rogue Belgian stout hybrid pomegranate (great) Viva Mas Taco Bell hot sauce sour (excellent) Exile on Broad beer de guarde (very good)

Overpriced. Took 2 hours for our food. Food isn't very good. Clam chowder lacks flavor. Fish and chips, fish was overcooked and very greasy. Same for the artichokes. Stay away. Service sucked too.

We stopped off here upon our arrival into Morro Bay and ordered a beer and a cider, which were both served in plastic cups during these COVID times. They have ample outdoor seating out front and another waterfront patio up the ramp. Great views from the waterfront patio where you can see harbor seals swimming by and basking in the sun. Both of the staff we interacted with were very pleasant and upbeat, and we appreciated how one of us told us the best place to enjoy our drinks was on the back patio due to the views. We didn't order any food, but the cook seemed pretty chipper too as I heard him singing aloud sans music on my way to the bathroom. We also ordered a bottle of their Libertine Rye Saison on the way out to enjoy at our AirBnB. Now that is a really tasty sour beer! If you're into sours or are sour-curious, you might want to give it a whirl.

Lunch at Morro Bay We decided to stop by this pub for lunch. The entrance is kind of weird, and I'm not even sure if it was the main entrance that we walked into but as we walked inside to the left was what looked like a living room complete with props (sofa, coffee table, chairs, old black & white television set, and the walls were decorated). We walked further inside and we were greeted by a server who, in passing, advised us to sit wherever we want so we sat by the bay window adjacent to the bar where the waterfront views abound with kayaks, canoes, yachts, tour boats and the Morro Rock dominating the scene. The playful sea otters were a plus! I ordered a bowl of New England Clam Chowder and Fish & Chips (beer battered cod filets that came with fries and cole slaw). My meal was a good portion and was delicious. The clam chowder had bacon! Mmm mmm good! None in my party were beer drinkers so can't comment on the brews. Simple menu with starters, seafood, burgers, and salad... something for everyone! Casual setting with one server who handled a semi-filled room and did a great job! Would love to come back to this cool pub with great atmosphere and fantastic view! The wall had a schedule of stage music performers so I suspect there is live music going on at times. Review #1018

Wow is all i can say....customer service has been declining over the last year but today totally takes the cake. We haven't been in for months due to CoVid. Since things are opening up we came to Morro Bay to walk around and chill. We walked into Libertine Pub to have a beer and without a hello from the brunette behind the counter, we were IMMEDIATELY accused of not paying the day before from a rude brunette. We have not gotten good service from her before and today tops it. I have NEVER been so insulted. Because A. We were not in yesterday. And B. We have ALWAYS paid our tab!!!! We will NEVER be coming to this location again!!

Went inside to this dive bar, not that a dive is a bad thing. I like dives and this place is on the water. Thought I would give it a go. Front of the place was empty. Walked to the back bar and had no issue getting a seat, although they were a bit crowded. Nobody stopped me or sent me to a table. Within a minute a person walked by and said they would be right with us. Couple minutes and get the same from another person, be right with you. Fifteen minutes later we walk out. Total of twenty minutes sitting and waiting after seating ourselves.

I love this place! The atmosphere is old school fishing town, which is what Morro Bay used to be. The food is outstanding, I sometimes order the fish and chips but usually go for the burgers which are absolutely fantastic. But the best thing about this place is the music, especially when Chris Beland is playing.

Great spot for beers on the main drag in Morro Bay. Very friendly staff, a better than most beer selection, and not too horrible prices. They have about 1000 $1 bills stapled on the walls with all sorts of drunken art. So if you are a budding artist or just want to make a statement then use your crayons and pens and art one up for the walls.

Stereotypical pub atmosphere, but along the water. Nice flight of darks & reds. Fresh, large house salad; fresh tasty fish & chips. Loud, tediously repetitive, rock music only drag.

My family and I stumbled upon The Libertine Pub during a recent trip to Morro Bay. We had no idea what to expect but we're pleased with every aspect of the meal. They fully take advantage of their location and the view is fun. They had live music when we were dining as well. It was a great atmosphere. The entire dining area is windows overlooking the water, which our kids enjoyed. It's "beach" clean (it's a thing, trust me!). Everything at the beach always seems slightly...damp? And sandy? But it was clean. Not sure on their sanitizing as I wasn't paying attention to that. I recently had clam chowder at a few other places in Morro Bay and theirs may have been the best...get the bread bowl! 10/10 will return...we even have family over there now and told them this is a MUST!

I was staying at a nearby inn for the night on a 2-drive down California's Highway 1. I asked the hotel staff for a recommendation for a bar with craft beers. She immediately told me to check out Libertine. The brew was the best part, the special, a watermelon sour ale. I am a sour beer lover so this was a cool place for stumble upon. I sat in the window to watch the sunset while I ate. Libertine is right on the water in the bay. Get a seat next to the window for great view of the Morro Bay rock, sailboats galore, and sea lions dipping in and out of the water. I ordered a simple salad as a starter with balsamic dressing which was okay. For dinner I ordered the Libertine Standard burger because I thought it would be a safe choice. It came to the table and the first thing I thought was that it looked like a crabby patty from Spongebob. The burger patty did not taste fresh and almost seemed to have a frozen taste. It needed some type of seasoning to add some character. The toppings, pickle, tomato, one piece of lettuce, and onion were perched on top as if to take away from the lacking taste of the burger. The waitress told me that it would come with a thousand island dressing on top, as asked if that was okay (I said yes!) but it did not come with any dressing. The tater tots were better than the burger. They were crispy and salty, just as a tot should be.

There is much here to attract and keep a loyal following people who dearly love their music and specialty microbrewery product. The chalked beer board is large, detailed, and varied in it's declaration of the taps that await your palate's explorations. They do have a stated leaning towards saison/sour beer styles, but there is usually something for most people. There's a cozy front bar with rustic-comfortable wood furnishings to hang out in while listening to the vinyl-whole album concerts of good old classic albums of decades past. This is the convivial space...the place where you arrange to meet with your regular friends after a day of labor when you just want to dive and snuggle into your comfortable beverage well and decompress. For more "formal" space to meet a date or business associate, there's the back area seating that has the large bay-view glass panes that show off the beauty that is Morro Bay and the famous Morro Rock. From here you can watch the sunset over the bay. You see the sailboats docked at the quay and see sea lions, seagulls, and sea otters splashing on the water below. In the evenings, there's a stage area for live music groups to set up and perform. Whatever you do during the day spent on the central coast, you could do much worse than wrap up your evening here with a hand clasped around a glass here at The Libertine.

Wowww maybe it's just because I'm from La but the people here are soooo nice! I brought a group of 14 girls to BOGA on Saturday morning and it was the highlight of our trip! Not only are their beer choices amazing but the staff is so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The yoga itself was awesome and we had such a great time, never feeling like outsiders. I wish we could've stayed longer but I would definitely recommend this gem of a place to anyone!

I totally didn't even know Libertine had an outlet out here in Morro Bay, until I literally stumbled upon it, whilst perusing the strip. I knew they had a spot in San Luis Obispo, but a pub right on the water? Score. They have 2 spots to drink here. The "bar" which looks like a dark dive bar that has dollar bills on the walls and ceiling as the décor. This is what you'll see first from the street. They also have a "pub" towards the back, which has a view of the bay, and this spot has tables for food service. Because it had natural light coming through and a view of the water, I chose to do a beer sampling here. I see Libertine's bottles often at Whole Foods and BevMo, so they distribute well, I just never tried it. It is mostly because they are always "Sours", which I think, I was a little slow getting into them. Until Now. I didn't really care for Sours because I don't think California has quite mastered it yet, since it is so new. Sure Europe has their versions but they've been making it for centuries. California has been making it for maybe a...decade at best. But Libertine has passion, and that passion can come around pretty quickly. I tried a flight of four, I chose one and had the bartender set the rest up, since I am a newbie at this. 2 were just alright, they were just sour for the most part, but one (Double Fantasy) was more fruity and balanced. But another (Llama Shades) tasted of stone fruits like nectarines, peach and apricot. Sure it was sour as well, but to have something else going on really sold me and started to turn my opinion. Then I tried a redish hued sour (Possibly Ornamental) which was a Saison style with some wine grapes integrated into it. OMG was this special. It was like how I want all my Rose wines to taste, tart backed by a fruit element with a slight tannin for backbone. Game changer. I wanted to take with me a growler, but they were out of growlers, womp womp. I noticed they had many bottles behind the bar and asked if any of those closely resembled what I had just tried. Sure enough, at $22 a bottle we were able to find something similar, something that had Zinfandel grapes in the mix. Can't wait to try it! The place is divey though, even the pub. There's a ping pong table, lots of vintage/thrift store décor like old TV/stereo consoles, that it gave it a Frat house vibe. When I first walked in, I walked back out to see if I was in the right place. The pub bar also has other taps outside of their sours, so there is a choice. Actually sitting in their bar and tasting for about 40 minutes, 95% of the orders that came in were "guest" beers like IPAs. People literally have no clue on what they do here, and I just feel they can do a better job at getting that message across. Either with a sign or some marketing pointers to get the consumer to turn their head into a specific direction. Despite the weird layout, I am still glad that I found this place. So now when I pass one of their bottles at a store, I will definitely look at it in a different light.

We stumbled upon the Libertine walking the main drag in Morro Bay looking for dinner after a fun day of exploring. We noticed there was a pub style area and a restaurant style area, so we went to the restaurant seating that also had a bar section. There was ping pong, a band setting up for live music, and a gorgeous view of the bay! Amazing location. We were greeted and told to sit where we wanted. Our server came to us pretty quick and was super friendly and knowledgeable. The Libertine beers are all sours, which I like, so I tried one made with wine grapes. It was super delicious! My boyfriend and i ordered a bbq style burger with fries and some wings for wing Wednesday all to split. The food came out in a reasonable time and we had fun watching the boats and sea life. The burger was super good but really difficult to eat. It was so slippery and wouldnt stay together because of the slathers, but I managed. This was our favorite order. The fries were alright but a bit soft and lacking. The mango habanero wings weren't that spicy, and the buffalo wings were decent flavor, but both wings lacked the almost crunchy crispy texture the skin should get for a perfect wing. I wouldn't order those again but they were edible. I have an odd complaint though.....the ketchup from the bottle did NOT taste normal or good. I'm not sure why but it was seriously inedible for me and I ate my fries with ranch. Super disappointed in the ketchup. Also the bathroom needed a new bottle of soap desperately. Overall it's a great spot with some great items and great people. Just needs a few small improvements.

Loved how this place just had its own personality. From its decor, to the servers, and the vibe itself! It's a very chill place with an eccentric and energetic vibe. Nice spot for quick grub and downing some beers. The view isn't so bad either!! Unfortunately I wasn't able to sit by the window, but it's nice to have that option. Food is so tasty! We ordered Tot-Chos, and the flavor was so amazing. The cheese was good quality, the meat bursting with flavor, and the tator tots just at the right level of crispiness. Other items we ordered were the Libertine Burger and Fish Tacos. Both highly recommended as well. The burger had such good flavor and I can't stress quality cheese enough, it's a game changer. Had my little one with me or else I would've stayed a lot more to try more beers, but even more reason to come back here again!

Had a wonderful date night at Libertine Morro Bay. It was a Friday night so there was live music playing whicH was a great topper. Taylor was our server for the evening who was fun to talk with and provided some nice beer selections. The beer we had was the Kaweah Guava sour and the Black Dragon sour beers. Both were winners. The guava beer was amazing with the fish and chips which I would highly recommend. Only issue we experienced was the lack of communication for seating. We stood at entrance for 5 minutes before one of the staff said "sit anywhere". We also had the pork sandwich which was meh...needed more sauce. We love this place and will gladden come here again.

As pubs go this place is honest as the days long. 50 beers on tap with every cone of California on rep. What's more, this place is dangerous with a view of the bay amd some sun shining in. The locals are blessed to have a place like this. Not Brewing on premises, the San Luis Obispo station is where that happens. This place has a menu, it's a little dingy and a lot of beer gets consumed here.

Aloha, came into Libertine Pub at Morro Bay for a quick beer & nachos. Almost a dive-bar, but with the views of the bay & famous Morro Bay rock & nice bartender, totally it's a notch or 2 above. Great beers, mostly sours though, I still found a nice beer to drink. Fun wondering Morro Bay on the bay, love this place.

After a relatively hectic day, it was time to relax and sort it all out. The Libertine Pub is a favorite of my son, and it was a fine place to talk, to nibble the fish & chips, to sip a brew and enjoy the view. We were greeted with a smile, seated immediately and served promptly. Timing is everything, and there were few customers in the Pub. We had the opportunity to relax in a fine atmosphere for conversation. I can see why this my son's favorite. I visit as opportunity permits but, if I lived here, I'd be a regular. I'll be back in a few months and I hope to revisit it in good company. A good Pub is like an oasis in a desert. I was pleased, and I recommend it.

Awesome pub on Morro bay "wasting away on another IPA" Jimmy Buffet would say, on a wet rainy day, what else is there to say but "Hey" you get down here and have your way - the way WAY WAYYYY is 35 cold frothy butt-kickin craft brews on tap. Hey now!

Lots of gnats or whatever they are swarming over puddles of water leading towards the pub front, and there were some inside as well. That's on nature though. It's a bit worn inside. The first table we sat at was broken with one of the wood boards flipping out if you leaned your elbows against it, so we moved. They have a small corner patio where you can sit if you get lucky. It overlooks the water and you can see Morro rock, but it was cramped that you'd be bumping elbows with anyone else. Waitresses were unexpectedly friendly and attentive, and were able to make recommendations based on what type of beer we were looking for. They have a handful of sour options which fits my preference, but only one hazy IPA, which my bf likes. Overall an okay place to grab a quick drink.
