Something has gone wrong, wrong, wrong here. Â New management somehow brought in new clientele - and instead of being a cute little neighborhood bar - it now appears to be a bar for gangbangers and rednecks. Â I've gone in on three different occasions since the change and have been put off so the bartender can continue his conversation with his (kinda scary) buddies twice, and left once because of the volume and choice of rap music. Â Refer to Bawss D.'s reveiw "My balls your face same time same place!" to give you some idea of who you'll run into...
Review Source:Let's call it "The Sadhorse"...Tweeker Toothless Rat Hole that smells like piss.
The last time I was in the Seahorse Saloon was when the SF Giants won the World Series in 2010, the place was fun, packed with cool locals, they had a wall size TV for the game, good happy hour, Â $1 Casper Hot Dogs, dog friendly - it was great. Â Last night I went back to see game 7, and it was the polar opposite:
I walked through the door and the waft of urine filled my nostrils, like a heard of buffalo pissed out front in the bushes the night before. Â There were 6 people in the bar, one had a beautiful Pit Bull on a chain, it glared at me, I didn't go over there.
The bartender on duty was drunk and swore out loud how drunk he was and that he was there on his day off and how F***ed up it was he had to be there. Â I stood there for almost 5 minutes holding cash in my hand and heard his toothless rant. Â I ordered a beer on tap and he said that there were no tanks in the building. Â I looked up and all 10 taps had plastic glasses marking that they were out. Â No CO2 in the place. Â He offered me there sad collection of bottled beers. Â
I thought I'd still give it a try, so I ordered one, he did give me a frosty glass. I asked him if they had food or any specials and he said they have some food but not until 7:00pm. He was so busy yucking it up with his pals, I tried to pay, I ended up taking a seat in front of the TV screen. Â
It's almost 5:00pm, 10 minutes before the big game starts and they have on some drama channel. Â I had to ask him to turn the game on and the sound up, he was sort of miffed at my asking. Â I sat there and watched Tedeski sing the national anthem and called the friends I had invited to join me to tell them to meet me somewhere else. Â
I got up to try to pay for my beer again and get the hell out of there, he was still partying with his pals and couldn't pay me any attention - even some of the locals at the bar were annoyed at him. Â More people came in, that looked like they just got out of prison. I stood there for another 5 minutes and finally yelled to the bartender that I'd like to pay for my beer (I should have walked out then), but I ended up leaving $5 on the bar a bolted. Â NEVER GOING IN THERE AGAIN.
This is the worst bar I've ever been to! First of all, the music is horrible (hip hop gangster crap) and they have it turned up SO f-ing loud it's ridiculous. Second of all, the people who go there are scary ghetto thug types. There was only one bartender, for the amount of customers there should definately be two, so we waited & waited & waited to get our drinks. Â After one drink we were ready to get out of there, we asked for our bill, and the bartender brings us another round of drinks instead (I guess she couldn't here over the awful rap music). Â New management really f-ed this place up. Being in that bar made me feel scared, as if I may be attacked at any moment. So awful. Â If you want to go to a super cool bar & hang out and have a good time, try Winters down the street. The bartenders are cute, the people there are cool, the music isn't totally turned up so loud you can't hear yourself think, and it's not ghetto shitty hip hop (like at Seahorse).
Review Source:Alcoholics giving a bar one star hahahaha well cut off my legs and call me shorty.
Love this bar! Clean, good staff, and drinks. Pacifica PD walk through  every bar in Pacifica as I'm sure it gets real boring driving up and down the beach looking for people with no front license plate.
P.S. Â "Raffa H." Â I was not putting up gang signs I have serious case of romitory arthritis and I have recently lost weigh since I stopped taking steroids so my pants were coming down. DON"T ME MEAN TA MEEEEEE!!!!
Only good looking people come at night so please ask someone before you go out.
.....ITZ DAT PAZZZZZY HIPPPPPP!!!!!!
Thanks,
BAWSS
Too bad you can't give zero stars. This place really lost its charm when the new management took over! Instead of local dive bar I new refer to it as the local ghetto bar. Come here if you like hanging out with thugs and you like to listen to ghetto rap music! Blah! I might try Winters next time I want to hang out at a divey local bar.
Review Source:JAvoid Sunday night. Bald bartender will let drunken friends abuse you verbally. And uses as his private room. Only his friends are treated well. But if there are  woman behind the bar give them some business. They know how to treat a person well. Sorry gurls but that guy needs to fired.
Review Source:Great little bar? Â No More... Â This bar has changed ownership and its not in a good way, unless your pants hang low and your throwing up gang-signs. Â
Have much to say but I think that most will take me as some sort of party-pooper  but if you lean more towards hip-hop and that "thug-life" mentality this is a bar for you. Â
I spent many times past in this place and have seen it change hands a few times, but never in a way like this. Â It's only a matter of time that Pacifica Police monitor this place and do what they do. Â Pacifica locals know! Â
I just am extremely disappointed in the class of people that are visiting this watering-hole, let alone the neighborhood.  I'm sure the neighbors now sleep better at night making  sure their car doors are locked and houses dead-bolted.
Enjoy, I won't... Â See you at Winters...
Hmm, I had written a review on this place a few years ago and I don't see it anymore. Â Anyway, the bar has changed ownership. Â I love how they remodeled the bar, and the owner is friendly. Â However, if the crowd I saw last night is the type of crowd they're catering to, I will find somewhere else to go to get my party on. Â The party I was with felt unsafe and uncomfortable here. Â They were understaffed for the crowd, and I would easily have to wait 10 minutes for a drink. Â It's still the same Seahorse we know and love during the day, but I think i'll stay away at night. Â I even saw police come and scout the place twice in the few hours I was there. Â NOT typical of Pacifica PD....if they come to scout a bar at all, it's usually once a night.
So, Two stars...I still love the daytime vibe, but minus three stars for what I saw last night.
This place is great to meet up with a few friends or a medium crowd. Me and my husband have been going here with a good friend for over a month or so.
Bartenders are cool and very friendly. Thursday is trivia night, Fridays there is sometimes a live band, and Saturdays is Karaoke night.
They also have some finger food that consists of fries, fish and chips, I believe burgers too and some more but I always order the fries  or the fish and chips.  My favorites! =)
Check our their website or Facebook for upcoming events. This Friday 11/5/10 a reggae influenced band from 9pm-1am.
this is our favorite and only bar me and my husband will go to in Pacifica. its clean, friendly, and has a great atmosphere.
Stopped in during Fogfest, and my friends and I purchased 3 domestic beers (Bud, Bud Light, and PBR) for $15. Â After having beer go through our noses in shock, we were informed they had jacked the prices up. Â
I think it's fully bogus to jack the prices up on a day you're going to probably get ten times the normal foot traffic. Â We then went to another bar down the road where the same beer was $3.75 each.
Very disappointing in these trying economic times!
I'm not a big bar-goer but I really like this place. It's close to my home, so it tends to be the default place to grab a quick drink. There's always someone there and something going on. Â Sometimes it gets a bit crowded when there's an event, but there is a sizable patio out back to decompress or take a smoke break, if that's your thing.
Everyone is very sweet and welcoming, from the bartenders to the regulars. Â Anyone will come up to you and say hello; it's just the friendly neighborhood vibe,
I've shown up in everything from my pajamas to full gothic gear and no one bats an eyelash. ;) I do like this place.
And I agree with the prior poster- trivia night salad is pretty darned yummy!
I like this place. It's clean, unpretentious and they have pub trivia on Thursdays. I think Dan makes a mean salad, and I like the all you can eat spaghetti, except I never get another plate! The bartender, Kim, is very friendly and always quick to serve a drink.
This would have gotten 5 stars, but Dan, please do something about speeding up the Trivia dude. I've come here several times with others, but the others never return. Why? Trivia Dude Sean takes FREAKING forever! One of my friends likened it to undergoing a root canal. If you advertise starting it at 8, 9:00 is not acceptable!! And Trivia Dude takes way too many smoke breaks. It's a shame. We love coming here, but  because of this, it makes it unpleasant. There's no wonder why pub trivia in San Mateo on Wednesday nights plays to a packed house. (just sayin')
I love your salad though. :)
"Tiffany,
Are you sure you reviewed the correct bar? We don't have a "Huge" music area, and in fact have a small area where we have a band just every few weeks at the most. Over the last six months we have had just three bands, a blues band, an island rock band and a Beatles cover band; certainly none of these resemble Tom Petty influenced.
Additionally I find your description of our patrons way off base. You say the only guy in the place was a gay porn star, which would leave me to believe the crowd was primarily women. This time of year with our 100" TV, the NFL network, baseball playoffs, the NBA and Hockey, our bar is primarily male, and no offense to gay porn stars, but it just doesn't fit the description of our usual customer.
If indeed you are mistaken I would greatly appreciate you removing your less than favorable review of our bar. We are just regular people trying to make a small business survive in a poor economy and don't need additional challenges such as bad reviews to make our job that much more difficult. Â Thank you,
Respectfully,
Dan"
THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ACCUSE ME OF WRITING A REVIEW FOR THE WRONG BAR JUST BECAUSE I GAVE THEM A LESS THAN STELLAR REVIEW? I ALSO CLEARLY STATED THAT "THE ONLY HOT GUY TURNED OUT TO BE A GAY PORN STAR."
WAY TO FUCK YOURSELF OVER.
Lol, did the Seahorse Saloon know I was coming?
As on perfect queue - we walked into the beginning of Frank Sinatra's "Young at Heart" playing on the jukebox. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DbslSxYwgwlE&s=7716b34d71a82025b27178fdcdecaa0caf0802c14d552310147101243df93841" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>
As Frankie started to sing, all 4 people in the bar then started singing in unison but randomly in their own each drunken stupor. Ahhh - happy drunks that must be practicin' for karaoke nights on Saturdays. Everyone loves them and they always provide good times.
Let's take happy drunk A, he's been working at Safeway for 37 years (so he can't stay too late since he has work the next day), has a bunch of funny stories, as genuine as they come, not a bad pool player and rocks a mean jukebox with some Ray Charles "Mess Around" and some Louie Armstrong.
There's a lot to like at the Seahorse besides it's regulars, or irregulars. Inside it's like a men's den. Pinball, darts, foosball, some plasmas to watch the Giants game, a really relaxed, good vibes neighborhood type of joint.
*** Try the "Tennessee tea"- Â Jack D and sweet tea - $4.50.
i like a bar where you can walk in wearing an ugly christimas sweater and nobody bats an eyelash. Â oh, on the contrary! Â the gentlemen at the bar were rather complimentary, even asking me to do a little twirl so they could admire the full fugly glory of my christmas cardigan from all angles. Â and by angles, i also mean ANGELS.
seahorse saloon was the perfect place to kickoff a "day-after-christmas- fugly-sweater bar crawl." Â there is guinness on tap, a food menu, and a specialty cocktail list. Â parking aplenty in the lot and on the street. Â
minus one star for the bartender taking forever to mix our drinks and having to use a cheat sheet to make a specialty one.
Great neighborhood bar that provides a close to the beach relaxation opportunity. Â Includes a patio in back and friendly help. Â This is the kind of place where everyone will know your name and women feel good walking into. Â No drama or weirdness, its like finding that home you have been looking for. Â Prices are great and snack foods are tasty.
Review Source:I came in here for a night cap on a random weekday evening. Only to find out that they had live music!! The music was good but the bar was empty. There were more musicians than customers!!! I had a beer and was on my way but its a nice little spot to grab a drink.
Could be dangerous navigating the fog and pacifica police afterwards so make sure you have a DD or walk.
Jared had it right, basically a big room with pool tables, foos ball and stools and bar. Â
But still we had a blast here, it's cozy, it's not expensive, and it's near where a bunch of friends live in Pacifica.
Can't go wrong with this place. Â
Though after a few drinks, navigating the route home in the fog is a bi*ch.
The only Irish bar in Pacifica - although Irish is a bit of a stretch. Â It's Irish-ish. Â It's basically a big room with a couple pool tables and a bunch of stools. Â The bar has a decent beer and whiskey selection, and they had awesome deals on Jameson's on St. Patrick's day, which I ended up over-consuming and nearly burned down a friend's apartment trying to drunkenly cook pasta.
They lost a star when they poured my Guinness wrong. Â A wrongly poured Guiness is blasphemy - especially coming from a bar proclaiming to be Irish.
