Moss Beach Distillery

Moss Beach Distillery is a restaurant in Moss Beach, California, located on a cliff which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It is officially designated as a California Point of Historical Interest.

History

The restaurant dates back to the Prohibition era when it was a speakeasy called Frank's Place. Owner Frank Torres built the club in 1927. Reportedly, illegal whisky was brought from ships, to the beach, and into vehicles for transport to San Francisco.[2]

According to the restaurant, the "Blue Lady," a female apparition dressed in blue, is reportedly seen in and around the restaurant. However, on a 2009 episode of Ghost Hunters, when the show was asked to come in and investigate, they found an elaborate system of devices meant to scare people.
