The Halford

The Halford is a taproom and restaurant that offers 71 world class beers and six wines on tap along with an eclectic ingredient driven menu which pair well with any of our given libations.
We specialize in a variety of craft beers from different states and a few selected imports, with our focus mainly on local, California craft beers from Santa Rosa to San Diego. Like wine, we believe that many of the best beers are made in California. We don’t discriminate, we just ensure that the taste, the flavor, is always there.
We’re talking 71 tap beers, with as many as 100 ready to go at any given time. We have staples and seasonals and rotating taps and some you can only get here first. Check our site daily for tap updates or on several platforms: FB, Instagram, Twitter and in person. Yes, we still allow you to walk in and check us out.
If you want lagers or pilsners, wheats or IPA’s, hoppy or light, dark and roasted or fruity and juicy or just a nice boozy finish to an amazing meal, we have them all in our see-through keg room.
Take pictures and make your friends jealous at no extra charge.
Our online beer list is always up to the minute! Fresh! Just like our taps.
With a short draw pour (six inches from cooler to handle), we maximize our freshness while serving you beer that can only get warm in your hands.
Did we mention the food?
Chef Matt Close has spent years perfecting and updating his own personal/seasonal menu and finally has a kitchen in which to do it justice. We smoke our own meats, butcher our own steaks, grind our own burgers and sausages and then apologize to our mothers (especially about the mac’n’cheese) as we proudly turn locally grown and produced ingredients into amazing dishes and great times. From our house prepared charcuterrie plate to a bowl of roasted wild mushrooms given to us by a local forager, we add an extra something to each dish to make it like none other. Small, medium or large, all our plates are meant to be shared and enjoyed by all.
And don’t forget to save room for dessert as we have prepared bread pudding and our cold hot chocolate to finish your meal.
Don’t miss our HAPPY HOUR MONDAY-FRIDAY, $5 pints, daily staff meal, Adult Happy Meal (Beer, burger and chips for $15) and other options from 3-6 p.m. for food and an extra hour (‘til 7) for beer, because, sometimes, you just need one more beer.
