Moss Beach Distillery

[1][2] The restaurant dates back to the Prohibition era when it was a speakeasy called Frank's Place.

Reportedly, illegal whisky was brought from ships, to the beach, and into vehicles for transport to San Francisco during Prohibition.

[2] A variety of people came to Frank's including the governor of California to Hollywood celebrities, such as actor Fatty Arbuckle.

However, on a 2009 episode of paranormal TV series Ghost Hunters, when the TAPS team was asked to come in and investigate, they found an elaborate system of devices meant to scare people, which the staff calls "haunted effects".

Later, that night, the lovers took a stroll down on the beach when a man, believed to be the husband ambushed them and stabbed his wife in the back.
