“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“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.”

“As always the beer was great. I had my favorite The Butcher, a smooth imperial stout. Atmosphere was nice, plenty of room inside, with some outside seating. Service was great. Didn't eat, but the had some food, I saw at least pizza from outside vendor truck. Parking was plentiful. Beer prices were reasonable, I paid 9.50 for a pint of The Butcher, which I assume is more pricey then many of their other beer, coming in at 9.7%.”

22 Mission Brewing - Sky Deck

4.6 Superb 13 Reviews

“Mission Brewing at Sky Deck was our first brewery stop during a visit to San Diego. Located on the upper level of the Sky Deck food hall at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, it offers a relaxed setting with nice views of the surrounding area. I ordered a sampler featuring Old Mission Lager, Everyday California, Pipe Dreams, and Dark Seas. All four were enjoyable, but the Old Mission Lager was my favorite that day because of its crisp, refreshing flavor. My companions enjoyed their selections as well. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with friendly service, good beer, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're already visiting Sky Deck, it's a nice place to relax with a beer and enjoy the view.”
