Beer Bars near Del Mar

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“WHAT A MEAL DEAL ! We stopped by for dinner after catching a movie last Wednesday.The Pulled Pork Sandwich & Fries + any beer on the menu board for just $12 was too good to pass up. Our sandwiches tasted great and the fabulous fries were freshly made even at after 7pm at night. I enjoyed both the IPA beers as my wife doesn't drink. Great service as always rom Kevin behind the counter .They have a meal deal here nearly every day so keep an eye out !“

“The beer! The best around by far“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“My sister and I were craving Japanese food, so she suggested Kumi Sushi Grill. I ordered a bento box with chicken teriyaki, yellowtail sashimi, and mixed tempura. My sister also got the chicken teriyaki bento box with mixed tempura, and fried gyoza. The Bento boxes come with miso soup and we also ordered Green Tea.
All I can say is everything was excellent. They give you 3 big pieces of yellowtail sashimi that melted like butter and their tempura was awesome.The portion sizes are huge. We should split a box. You can swe hiw much food my sister had in her to-go box. Mine was just as much food but not as pretty. I highly recommend this place.“

“Best Pizza & Brew serves a variety of delicious pizzas, salads, pastas, poke bowls and drinks. The workers are always ready to take your order and make suggestions if youre unsure of which dish to choose. The house salad is delicious. It's always served fresh, and a perfect side with pizza. Best Pizza & Brew is across the street from the beach, by other restaurants and stores, so it's usually a busy place. They have plenty of seating, and the dining area is clean. BP&B also sells cool hats, tees and hoodies. You won't be disappointed with the Best Pizza & Brew.“

“Great food and even better service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the service, Mel, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and genuinely happy with our experience. You can tell they care about both the food and the customers. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot.“

“Singularly the best brewery in San Diego
Been going there for 10+ years

The owners are are family to me & my husband, have been awesome friends for a decade.

The beertenders are fun, educated about the beers & are all family to me

The beer is some of the best i’ve had in my life, my desert-island beer lives on the board, Drink this or the Bees Die

Being gluten-free makes the beer healthier for me, less pain in my joints, no bloating, & tastes amazing.

Overall 100/10 for me, now & forever“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“are you kidding me. This place is the best. great food and service. love it!“

“I love this place so much it’s my second home!! All my extended family thats there and the wings!!! Gotta have the wings haha!! Make sure to stop in and say hi, everyone will welcome you in like you’re family too!!“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“Outstanding venue. First time visiting the establishment for lunch with some co-workers and I will be back for a more social setting!“

“It’s so chill & The food is amazing !“

“Great food - super fresh fish & casual vibe. Prices were reasonable & I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Enjoy!“

“The new ownership of Outcast have really brought it to a new level! The food is great quality and well priced. I love the shawarma, my kids love the pizza, and all of the Mexican food on the menu I have tried is also delicious (enchiladas, gorditas, tacos). The service is prompt, friendly and so accommodating. It has a little chalkboard area our kids enjoy using. Overall, this is just a great family-friendly restaurant.“

“They have a great happy hour with 1/2 price bottles of wine 🍷 on Wednesday's. It's a great place to watch the game.“

“La Costa Wine Co.
A locally owned and operated wine and craft beer shop with a great twist—there’s a welcoming area in the back where you can enjoy an impressive selection of wines and beers, paired with excellent cheeses, cold cuts, and flatbreads.
From the moment you walk in, there’s a genuine sense of community. I met some amazing people and truly felt the family atmosphere that the owners have created. A big part of that comes from the team—Alessa, Reggie, Fernando, Andrew, Connor, Trianna, and Shawn—who were all fantastic: welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging, making the experience feel personal and relaxed.
The space has a modern wine-cellar vibe, complemented by a really well-curated mix of music. You can immediately tell the owner is hands-on and has a great eye for building a team that fits the culture—friendly, passionate, and never pretentious.
I visited a couple of Sundays in a row and found it to be the perfect balance: not overly busy, but lively enough to feel engaging and social. I also went back on a Friday, and it was lively and buzzing—a great energy without feeling overwhelming. Even better, the owner is truly hands-on, consistently checking in on guests around the room and making sure everyone is having a great experience.
They offer memberships and host regular tasting events, which adds even more value for locals. This is truly a great neighborhood wine bar set in an upscale yet relaxed environment.
It’s absolutely worth stopping by just to browse the excellent wine and beer selection—but like me, you’ll probably find yourself drawn to the back area, where the magic really happens.“

“The food here is amazing, I come here every day and I try something new constantly and it’s always delicious. The chicken caesar brussel salad and the chicken deluxe sandwich are great.

The best spot on campus, and I love the team here! Kathy, Sayra, Alejandra are the best.“

“A coworker ordered for our spring orientation. The pizza was amazing!!“

“Absolutely incredible location in Leucadia with a chill atmosphere and welcoming tap room.First-time caller, so I went with a flight, obvs., of both West Coast as well as Double IPA's.Good but not great (hence the four stars), but gawddamn, Leucadia FTW, as this spot definitely wins for Location, Location, Location.Paz.“

“really really good pizza. pizza bases made fresh on site.“

“Solana Beach Kitchen was amazing. Each dish was spectacular. Loved the Surf & Turf Nachos, the Calamari was the best I have ever had. The Mac n Cheese with brisket was a recommendation from the fabulous Tracy and it was incredibly delicious. Everything was so good that we returned the next night!! Highly recommend SB Kitchen.“

“It so tasty mango 🥭 beer 🍺 ever!!!“

“Irelynn provides spectacular service with intelligence, soul and truly embodying the face of superlative customer service to back the quality product. She is the reason I go nowhere else at UTC to eat. Thank you for the Forbes 5 star level service!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent! The atmosphere was great! We will definitely be back. We wanted to try every single dish on the menu! Tried 4 this time and will be back to try the other dishes. This is a must go to place!“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“We ordered carne asada burrito, Buffalo wings and chicken flautas. They were all tasty. The carne asada was very meaty but a bit tough for me. Wings were a bit small but flavorful.

I have never seen chicken flautas look like short fat egg rolls before. Deep fried flour tortilla gave it a nice crispness except there was very little chicken inside. Still very good and interesting. I especially love that they had lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole on side. Very rare do you see this combo of topping.

Inside is divided by the bar area and dining area. Looks like a hip place to be after work.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! We ordered a fully loaded pizza that was out of this world—crispy crust, perfectly melted cheese, and packed with flavor. The Mango Suman beer was the perfect pairing—refreshing, unique, and delicious. But what really made the visit special were the people—every single staff member was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell they love what they do. Great vibes, great food, great beer. Can’t wait to come back to Pizza Port! 🍕🍺“

“After a long day of playing soccer, the entire team visited Notorious Burgers. We loved the appetizers, especially the brussels sprouts and fried pickles. They offered a variety of food for everyone’s liking. My cheeseburger was the black and blue, and it was heavenly. Next time we’re in Carlsbad, will be sure to eat there again Great spot!!!“

“Great place to meet friends and drink beer. The best of times.“

“Our group of 5 had fun at Forbidden Cove. The service was fantastic, and all our servers seemed genuinely dedicated to us having a great experience. Decor and black light effects made it extra secret. I love the whole speakeasy idea. Food: Two of us had Spam tacos (mine were Luau), with Mac Salad and Cucumber, which were really tasty. Two diners had the Poke tower and they were delicious as well. One ordered pork sliders, and he thought they were very tasty and satisfying. Drinks were all very good, a bit heavy on the ice if there was a criticism. Great time was had by all!“

“My first time into Enzo’s and we had a really nice experience. Andy our waiter was awesome. He had super friendly and positive energy from the jump. I tried the short rib pasta, and it was spot on. It’s a little pricey, but other than that, it was a great meal.“

“This place is our go to local hang“

“I recommend using presentable plates when you order food“
