Modern Times Far West Lounge Brewery • $$
470 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas

“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.“

Blue Fire Brewing Brewery •
2892 S Santa Fe Ave STE 107, San Marcos - 9.86 miles

“I work somewhat local, and I always wanted to try this place. They seem like a “tucked away” brewery. I think too many people neglected this underdog of a brewery. They have a clean establishment and it’s pretty simple too!

The bartender Ryan was incredibly knowledge and personable. He did a great job informing me on your product and making me feel valued as a customer.

The interior was a bit bear and underwhelming, but it was simple and clean. It was really empty on a Saturday afternoonish time, and there was only one patron. I felt bad for the food vendor, but it didn’t seem that inviting either. Atleast the UPS guy gave him business.

Location is a bit random imo (probably the biggest killer of foot traffic for them) but I think they have a great facility and parking lot.

I think I might have heard of this organization thru a guest tap somewhere… or else I wouldn’t have cared to come out of my way and check y’all out.

I had the fest bier. It was a good beer. I think they have good variety but I wasn’t able to try a couple and get a good feeling of the overall beers. Great spot but a lil tough for me to come back since it’s not as convenient.

Gl and cheers“

“I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.“

“WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We visited Artifex either the first or second week it opened, and we've been back nearly every weekend. Just a great atmosphere. Everyone is super cool, from the staff right down to the patrons. My last birthday was celebrated at Artifex and they were super accommodating. There are three eateries within walking distance. One is a pizza place literally next door. The pizza is great, and they will deliver while you chat it up and enjoy a pint. I really can't say enough good things about this brewery - but I'll try if anyone asks. Artifex Oceanside is great!!“

The interior vibe is very nice and I thoroughly enjoy the most wanted IPA. I'm a fan. I'll be here a couple times a week at least.“
