50 Best Craft Breweries near Chula Vista

“I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your product. Since incorporating BootchCraft—and other kombuchas like HeartKombucha—into my lifestyle, I’ve experienced noticeable improvements in my digestion and overall well-being.

Not only has my stomach felt better, but I’ve also found that I no longer deal with hangovers, which has been a game-changer. It’s refreshing to find a beverage that supports health while still offering a social experience.

Thank you for creating a product that aligns with both wellness and enjoyment. BootchCraft has truly made a positive impact on my life.

Warm regards,
Ashley Zachary“

“Happily went to the wrong location! Awesome beer!“

“The only problem is that on the weekends this place is too popular. It can actually be hard to find parking or seating. But the food, drinks, lines music, and general vibe is phenomenal. It seems like every time I come I plan on having a quick bite but end up staying for hours.“

“Must visit. I don't care for most breweries but East Village Brewing changed that. Definitely try the Sandlot.“

“First time visiting! Used Hop Passport. Flavorful brews & seltzers. 🍺“

“The team who works here is amazing. The beer has depth and character and the Hazy's.... OMG! Top notch! It is a San Diego must see/taste brewery. One thing that stands out as well is that the have sours but not traditional ones. They are not sour at all, more like a fruit drink. I can now bring my non beer loving friends with me and enjoy. There are two other breweries attached to this one as well. Three breweries who all have specialties so whatever type of beer you like you will find it it.“

“Great space and good beers. Always good for that sunset on the patio.“

“New favorite brewery! Had a Groupon from a long time ago that had expired but the amazing staff honored it! They had some of the best beer I have ever had and by far the best unique beers! Very chill vibe to watch the padres game! We brought in dinner from another spot and tried a flight of different beers. They have a pool table and lots of bar seats and tables plus TVs with different sports on. Very friendly staff, great laid back vibe, and awesome beers. Definitely recommend“

“Amazing friendly place , staff so friendly“

“Great beer selection, kombucha options, and DELICIOUS ice cream. The crew is amazing. Welcoming, friendly, chatty and a bunch of fellow Star Wars fans, pwhich was great. We stopped in on our way out of the Convention Center from ComicCon. This was a welcome refreshment after long days. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I came in last night before the padres game. Awesome atmosphere and location. The cold IPA was honestly the best beer I’ve had in a long time. Brandon the bartender was super friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area“

“Good beer, good food, service was top notch.“

“I feel so lucky to be living close to The Lost Abbey (in a historic Mexican Presbyterian church). The range of brewed beers here is masterclass. Pilsners to Saisons. A dubbel. A quad. The brews here are a cut above and stick you pinky out special. But if you want something smooth and lovely, do the Mexican lager or Heavenly Hitter and enjoy in the big outdoor area and cheer on the Padres. . And I totally saw Jesus here during comicon in 2025. This place is officially blessed.
Great vibes.“

“Awesome indoor + outdoor space with yummy food trucks, live music and friendly atmosphere.
Lots of drink options between the brewery & sour spot. Dogs allowed 🙏🏼 We had the best fried chicken sandwhich and with a dope band the other week. Want to go every weekend now…highly recommend!“

“We had our 13 and 14 year old it was kid friendly which is awesome what drew us in was the punk themed bar setting but the music they were playing was so not at all what we expected also the beer felt warm other than that they had board games which was cool“

“Made this our first visit on a North Park brewery crawl and it was a great way to kick it off. Extremely friendly staff who helped us pick our beers as out of town guests. Nice little patio area to sit in the sun. Lots of locals were making their way in and out while we were there which is always a great sign!“

“Great time, minus the upstairs being closed for an event. 😭😭 we just wanted to check out the view, we didnt plan on staying. Wish they had let us look for 2 minutes without charging $$... event hadn't even started, but I get it. 🫶🖖“

“We booked the back patio area for a wedding event and had about ~90 guests over the course of 3 hours.

We highly, highly recommend Knotty Brewing for an event. The staff was *extremely* kind and attentive, the space was perfect in size and decor, the food and beverage selection was great! We made use of the outdoor TVs for sports, the cornhole section, and the private bar made it very easy to order.

Many thanks to the team at Knotty Brewing!“

“I recommend experiencing Thorn Brewing NP for the intimate neigborhood vibe, super friendly beer tenders and exceptional quality of the craft. Cheers🍻!“

“I've had most of the menu and have loved every beer I've tried here. Today was overcast and cold, perfect weather for a stout. The Gambino didn't disappoint. It is well balanced and smooth. The Coco Ono a Pina colada hazy IPA. Also an awesome choice tith the pineapple nicely complementing the hops and the coconut being present but not overwhelming. Definitely stop by and have a taste“

“Cucina Caprese is one of our favorites. Everything on the menu is fabulous. Guiseppe knows how to make delicious food. Best pizza ever!“

“Fun with my family from Colorado and local.“

“A great place to have a beer and hang out with friends“

“Great Selection of modern IPA’s“

“a nice. cosy place and cold beer“

“I stumbled upon this bar while exploring the neighborhood and ended up staying for hours. It has a rustic interior, friendly staff, and an impressive list of craft beers — both local and international. The bartender was super knowledgeable and let me sample a few before I picked my favorite. They also had board games available, which made the night even more fun. Solo or with friends — great place to chill.“

“Very friendly staff the food is great.“

“Great place to come for a few beers and good food. They have a really good selection of beers to try and also limited edition beers, which I enjoyed.

I also ate here and the Mac and cheese is highly recommended alongside the good service.“

“Cute brewery in a charming building, nice location, and with a beautiful patio. Good, if not as expensive beer collection as some other places (e.g. Pure Project), but the selection we tried were all great. A very nice way to while away an afternoon playing their games and enjoying the cool breeze. Highly recommended.“

“If you want to have drinks this is the place. Just be aware they do not have food at this location“

“Our son and daughter in law were visiting from Panama and chose this place . We each ordered something different and all the dishes served were great! Will definitely eat there again! 👍🏼“

“A place that makes you feel right at home!
The beer selection are their own brews and covers lagers to IPAs! The Japanese Lager is a personal favorite! They did bring back an old fave too of Mango Toasted Rice Lager!
Their burgers are full of flavor! A choice of 4/6/8 chicken strips that are a kid pleaser!
The swag and beer collection are a must to check out!
The place does get a little packed at end of school due to parents enjoying a pint while they wait for their little ones. I definitely did when my son went to Albert Einstein!
Come in and enjoy a pint or two! Oh yeah, they do have coffee til 3pm!“

“Fantastic Ramen. It's a must!!“

“What a fun place! They have pool, pinball, fun vending machines.

The staff was very friendly. It seemed like they all really enjoyed their job. They offered some fun alternatives for people that beer isn't their favorite beverage.. still, I did have there blueberry wheat beer... probably my favorite beer I've ever had.

Don't be an idiot! Try Belching Beaver! You won't be sorry!“

“Great please to get charged“

“great service from Jeff! Food hit the spot, too.“
