28 Best Beer Bars near Encinitas

“I was just looking for a place to drink sour beer. That's all. You can imagine my utter joy when I discovered this place not only has FIVE sours on draft but also a menu that is more than 50% vegan. I tried all of the sours. The standout for me was the blueberry muffin, which tastes exactly as described. At the recommendation of the bartender, I got the crunch wrap, which was absolutely delicious. I also made a friend with the woman sitting next to me and got to try the pretzel with queso and mustard (also completely vegan), and that was phenomenal. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be a regular hangout spot.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent seafood and good portions“

“The beer! The best around by far“

“Friendly staff- one staff member communicated through lip reading and she stored my pick up pizza while I had a beer and brought my pizza out as I made my way to the counter.
Super chill vibes.

Parking: Pretty obvious. Not hard to figure out.“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

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

“Great small brewery! Very friendly owners who provide great customer service and offer a welcoming atmosphere. There are many really good beers here, but the strong blonde ale is fantastic.

This brewery is more tucked away on a back Vista road, but it's worth finding your way here. The tasting room bay widows open up, and it's a perfect place to sit while the sun is out and enjoy the amazing weather.

There are often food trucks here while you can grab some food while you enjoy your beer.“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“Visited for a special event dinner with Epoch winery from Paso Robles. The owner of the store was exceedingly gracious and friendly and the event was a great success. The store has a pretty wide range of wine offerings as well as local craft beers, with several exclusive/harder to get wines as well as more mainstream options. The store is admittedly "Paso-centric" in their overall portfolio, but the prices are consistent with what you would see at the wineries. They also have cheeses for sale at the front counter.“

“Delicious and crispy! First time visiting, will definitely will be coming back. :)“

“I had no idea this place existed! What a nice and fancy location too! Looks and feels like a cater to the corporate world around it, but it was a fun time. Bonus was a pool table! Beers for Harland are still above average, and their stouts can be amazing.“

“This hits the spot for lunch. They got decent salads and great sandwiches . The staff is super efficient and friendly . Annnnd they have coke products not the gross petpea stuff . I don’t drink beer but the people that do seem to enjoy their selection. They don’t have a ton of seating indoors so when it gets busy you got to be prepared to park it outside . My favorite are their hot sandwiches .“

“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. ?“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Overall the food and beverage are great. I love all the sports and Acade games. Only suggestion I have would be to clear tables faster so there is additional space and clean the restroom every few hours. I come in at least once per week and will continue to support this business.“

“I had an issue recently and contacted LRK. I wasn’t expecting what they gave me to correct the issue. OMG! I have been a LRK customer for almost a year now and I will continue! Great product and a beautiful company that believes in quality and taking care of their customers!! Please don’t change as you all get bigger at Local Roots!! Love you all!“

“Great pizza! Amazing servers!“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“These guys are awesome! I was in a time crunch and asked if they could recommend me something that could get me out in time for my train. They not only got it out with plenty of time to spare, it’s delicious, extremely well priced, and loved the whole kitchens hustle. Great atmosphere, families, couples, a mixed crowd- all great vibes. The bartender recommended a wonderful strawberry marshmallow sour and all around it was great for a Friday afternoon stop. 10/10“
