Great vib! Not gluten free. I did have a salad and wine without a reaction. My family said the pizza was good and the beer was great!

Pizza was delicious, and the beer was tasty. Neat atmosphere and a nice patio. The staff was nice. The facility was clean. Also, you can see all the brewing equipment.

Have been to the brewery in Camarillo several times as the food and beer are good ,facility is clean , and the music is tolerable, unlike some places that play rap/ hip hop so loud you can’t hear or talk. However not sure why the staff are so unfriendly and borderline rude. We were greeted with angry faces, short abrupt questions and responses, little to no eye contact when ordering. No one smiles, or conducts themselves in a way that I would tolerate being a business owner. When dealing with the public your employees need to be friendly, respectful and kind to the customer even if they don’t want to. Not everyone is cut out to serve customers. Maybe they should just stay in back.

We have been to Institution a few times in the last month. Food is good and we had a couple exceptional beers but why are the employees so miserable? We had one girl that was super friendly and excited for us to be there but every male seems so depressed! Not sure what the deal is but a smile every now and then doesn’t hurt anyone!?

Kid friendly, great beer, great pizza, and great vibes. Parking can be rough especially during their construction, but it's not too bad.

My first time there had a blast. Friendly staff. Cool atmosphere. I'm not a big beer drinker, but they had a nice selection and I found the imperial stout was very good. If you're not sure what you like they will let you sample

Started to eat my salad and realized there was a bug in it. I felt completely grossed out and took it back for a refund.I’ve always enjoyed the food here but this just made me feel uneasy.

Great beer. Decent food. Got there maybe 30 till closing. Staff was still in a good mood! I hear that parking can be a nightmare during the busy hours.

Gotta love the Pizza and Beer deal Monday-Thursday! Selection of beer and pizzas is excellent!

Very fun, busy, family friendly. Professional staff, classic rock music, food options. Beer is better than most nearby breweries. I prefer hazys but West Coast and Pale Ales are available for my taste buds here.

Honestly one of my favorite places in Camarillo. Beers are amazing. Pizzas are amazing. Even the salads are amazing if you’re staying on that healthier side. You’re missing out if you’re not frequenting this place on the regular.

We go for the lunch special. It's delicious, good size portions and a friendly to the budget price. I get the one of their salads with a beer. I like their jalapeño beer, but the best is the Thai chili beer. Amazing beer with a touch of spicy. My husband always, and I do mean always, has the chipotle pizza. He always tries a new beer. The servings are perfect size for sharing. So our lunch is pizza, salad and beer for each. Perfect!

Heard about the rave and finally had the opportunity to stop by, it was much larger than I thought! Stopped by on a Wednesday and it was light but had a good amount of customers. Ordered the pils and a pizza hot sauces one with bbq and hot honey. The crust was nice and thin food came out pretty quickly! Staff was ok, just did their job and the overall place was clean and had good activities good for small groups. Overall I think I would prefer toppers food and beer but this is another great alternative and hang out since there's not many breweries in cam. Overall good!
