You’ll find a bustling scene of fisherman, young professionals and sand-sprinkled beachgoers---as well as a wait---nearly every night of the week at this true-blue waterfront institution. Really, it draws anyone who loves things like steamed mussels and clams with extra broth for crusty sourdough bread dipping. Dungeness crab cocktail, oysters on the half-shell and fried shrimp round out the “small” menu offerings. Fresh fish specials, such as grilled white sea bass from local waters, mahi mahi dusted in Cajun spices and pan-blackened local yellowtail, are highlights on the “long” menu. No matter what, libations are always in order at this locals’ favorite gathering place, and although the wine list is fairly basic, there’s a great selection of beer on tap or by the bottle, as well as a full bar. If you can’t get a seat, stand outside and watch the workings of the harbor until you can. There’s also a Brophy Bros. in the Ventura Harbor, which is virtually identical to the original.
