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.“

“We came here with our dog on a rainy Saturday night. We were so glad to find a place with a covered patio. But then we were pleasantly surprised with how amazing the beer and pizza were. Duh. It’s in the name. lol. Anyhow there was some confusion about our pizza but Donny went above and beyond to make it right. It was a little hectic because it was so busy but if we weren’t visiting we’d definitely be regulars. Try the Detroit style hot honey, I’ll be dreaming about it.“

“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.“

“Kumi has been one of my absolute favorite places to eat near my work. The prices are great and the food is even better. Josh was our server and he was attentive and kind and made us feel right at home. The quality is top tier and the place is clean and modern. I 100% recommend them❤“

“I love this location. Been a handful of times. My first visit, was the first real time I have been introduced to Gluten Free beer. I have family friend who I believe is a “Celiac” and this brewery is one of the few that he can enjoy. I visited the Encinitas location, staff and vibe was off the day I went but here it’s always fun. Beer has gotten a little stale for me considering they always have the same product. So my only critique would be is experiment with more beers haha.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Great food and wonderfully pleasant staff.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I rarely post reviews but when a spot makes into my rotation at least once weekly I gotta say, and B&B UTC has. Didn’t think I’d get back into sandwiches again but I’ve gotten partial to the Italian Sub, toasted for extra crunch 😋 I’ll admit UTC’s six taps pale vice Scripps Ranch’s 13, but they’re well-curated with fine SD craft, always a cold WCIPA and a hazy.

The service is quick and courteous even when they’re slammed, and sunny days people-watching out front’s a gas!“

“It so tasty mango 🥭 beer 🍺 ever!!!“

“The wings are one of the best in SD in my opinion! Hands down. Also friendly staff! Wanted to recognize Bryan for going above and beyond. We got takeout and our car would not start in the parking lot. He helped jump start our car on his break and we were able to go, no problem! Food service was already amazing, but THAT is what you call customer service. A great story to tell while recommending Pelicana. Thank you Bryan!!“

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

“If you are in the fashion district of Solana Beach or going to a concert at the Belly Up and are looking for great little Sushi place, go to Kai Ola Sushi! My wife and I were looking for a place to get some food prior to a concert at the Belly Up and came upon this great little restaurant. The vibe and atmosphere is very cool, the Sushi was delicious, and the service was great! The Sushi chef was very personable and friendly and even educated us on some of the Sushi rolls he was preparing, while we sat and ate at the Sushi bar.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We came here on a Sunday after a family wedding the night before. 17 out of town family members from 4 states. It was fantastic! The staff was great and the relaxed atmosphere was was exactly what we needed. Aaron at the taps made sure the cold beer was flowing while the kitchen cooked up some amazing pizza! Thank you to everyone at Pizza Port Solana Beach!“

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

“Always a great experience! The food was delicious, and the drinks were reasonably priced. Our server, Leanna, was excellent and took great care of our table, making sure all of our needs were met in a timely, friendly, and attentive manner. We always enjoy dining here and look forward to coming back.“

“I recommend using presentable plates when you order food“

“Went in to grab a bottle for dinner and ended up spending a few extra minutes looking around. The selection was pretty solid, with options at different price points, so it wasn't hard to find something that fit my budget. The person working there answered a quick question without trying to upsell me, which I appreciated. Checkout was easy and everything felt well organized. It's not the biggest wine shop I've seen, but it had what I needed and the overall experience was good. I'd come back again when I'm in the area.“

“This place is our go to local hang“
