I have been coming here since it was Prince of Wales, usually on Tuesday evenings when the Silicon Gulch Jazz Band (Trad Jazz) plays. I like the selection of beers and ciders on tap, the fish & chips, the burgers, and the general "dive pub" feel of the place. I do not like the actual atmosphere - the cigar/cigarette/vape smoke that comes in from the back patio. They need to improve the ventilation somehow.Street parking only, usually easy after work hours.

This is my favorite watering hole and fish and chips joint in the bay. You got to go down and check it out yourself it is most certainly worth the trip. I guarantee they do not disappoint. Whether it be great conversation great food or great drinks this is the place.

I spent the week in San Mateo for work this summer and almost every day, I'd walk down to the Swingin Door for some seafood and margaritas. Can't recommend them enough. Bartenders were friendly, food was great, ambiance was great. Months after that work trip I still have fond memories of the Swingin Door. Will absolutely make a point to stop by next time I'm in Cali.
