“In town for one night. Spent the evening walking between three breweries and a meadery. If I lived here, this is the one that would be my local watering hole. Absolutely beautiful bartender, friendly atmosphere, great music, and a story behind the label and taprooms that can't be beat.“

Dr Boochart Bar • $$
105 E Grand Ave, Escondido

“Family owned! Great speakeasy vibe with lots of cool steampunk designs. You can even buy your own steampunk glasses and hats here! They mostly serve just alcoholic kombucha and 1 rotating local beer on tap, and like 2 non-alcoholic kombuchas. All of their kombucha is good with unique flavor profiles for each type. I love all their lemonade versions - tastes like actual lemonade to me, and they use cool fruits in their kombucha like dragonfruit! If you like it, they sell bottles, and can also bottle one for you then snd there. They usually have live music Friday and Saturday and events throughout the week. The vibe is definitely worth coming in and having a drink.“

Blue Fire Brewing Brewery •
2892 S Santa Fe Ave STE 107, San Marcos - 7.13 miles

“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.“

“I was apprehensive about trying this place, I thought it was just all Mexican beer. However you do not need to put any kind of citrus in this beer to make it taste good. It's actually good beer. 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.“

Live music plays at unsafe levels in excess of 94 dB, not okay for children or adults for periods longer than 5-10 minutes. Band that played on 10/4/24 caused nearly all customers to filter inside just during their soundcheck.“

And brush up on your Vocabulary big man, in your nonsensical fit of anger you said it’s about the “ righteousness” , when I think you meant principle. Me and the guy standing behind you laughed in confusion for a good 5 minutes after you walked out. Thanks for that:)“

“Food options have seriously decreased. This really is a place centered just on beer. Getting together with friends would be ideal if you just want appetizers. Beer as always for the past couple decades is really good, so that is a plus. Very loud inside - outside in the evening is a better option if you want to have conversations.“
