33 Best Beer Bars near Imperial Beach

“I loved the food. We got a pizza and I ordered the meatball sandwich. My only negative was that I asked for a container to take home the half of the sandwich I didn't eat. The server brought a container and then picked up my sandwich and put it in the container. Bare hands. No longer was I going to eat that sandwich.so to the servers...don't touch the customers food with with your hands.“

“Pero mad Chingona! The shrimp basket was excellent. My guy brought me another beer since the kitchen was taking forever. 5/5. This place gets it and there is no better seafood on the peninsula!“

“Meaty double patty smash style burger. Size of patty is generous and seasoned well. Chipotle oil is delicious but not overpowering. Balances the patty and bun. Onions are sliced and grilled. Will have to try garlic crisp next time. Worth a try“

“Great customer service! And the burgers were so darn good. Of course the beer was ice cold!“

“Awesome, low key spot in the SouthPark neighborhood. Ordered the Fried Chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised at the seasoning and the spice level. A little dry but nothing too worrying as it was sort of a brunch rush.

As always, the beer is stellar. Will be something for everyone. Harland is the best!“

“Great burgers, quick service. Good value for money.“

“great food and BBQ sauce 🙂“

“The absolute best little diner that I have ever eaten in. You have to sit at the bar to get the full experience. I come eat here every time I visit my son that’s in the Marines.“

“Very tasty beverages. Nice big ice cubes, made from tasty water. Friendly staff, and a back room shrouded in mystery...“

“Absolutely LOVED my first time at Hidden Craft! Such a great layout and so unique that you can pour your own beer! My partner rented out the space for my 30th birthday and the staff was so wonderful and everyone that came absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and this will now be a regular spot of mine.“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“My wife and I came in last night before the padres game. Awesome atmosphere and location. The cold IPA was honestly the best beer I’ve had in a long time. Brandon the bartender was super friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area“

“I recently moved to South Park a few months ago and walk past this place daily. Got off work early one day and decided to stop in for happy hour. The place was relatively empty but the food and service were great! The honey chili wings were perfectly crisp, saucy, and delicious! Went great with an ice cold Pilsner. Will definitely be back to try out the dinner menu soon.“

“We had a great lunch and the waiter was very polite and helpful. I highly recommend this place.“

“Had a quick lunch here today. Yummy salad ( a bit heavy on the blue cheese, but fixable) fun ambiance and very helpful friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place! Also, kind on my wallet which makes going here a no brainer!“

“This little spot was fantastic! Truly some of the best food I've had in SD. I ordered the Godzilla hot dog, my husband got the Pastrami Tsunami, and we shared the pierogi plus grabbed a couple beers. The service was friendly and super fast. The food was fresh, and I think the sign said they make their own sausages. The sausage was phenomenal: flavorful, spicy without being overbearing, and seemed lean (no squishy, fatty deposits). The food, although very comfort forward, didn't leave us feeling heavy. The seating is all outdoor at little patio style tables just down from a little fishing pier and next to The Rady Shell. This is now one of my favorite spots; looking forward to going back.“

“Great restaurant! Food, service were on point!“

“Everything about it is fantastic! The beers are delicious and the owners are so welcoming! Thank you for hosting my 29th birthday!!!💕“

“Tap house with friendly and generous owner.
Keeping one of the most Varietal selections in San Diego. From local California and national breweries
Located on 3rd ave filled with eateries. Always a must to stop by and drink dessert.
You know us adults who choose our sweets 😋 😉 😏 😜“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and the staff is the best.“

“Good job n thank you so much“

“LOVE the energy and the beautiful colorful spirits who brought this collective together! Some of the most considerate and dynamic artists I know! Everything revolves around culture, growth, unity, and progress. All of the artists they've brought through their doors, where musicians, artisans, and/ or painters have been amazing.“

“Great beer and good food! They also promote several social mixers. Definitely going back“

“Great beer and service. No food today but menu looked great“

“Craft beer places are a dime a dozen in SD, but I knew after one visit that Machete is easily going to become a favorite water hole to visit when I am in the mood for a good variety of craft beer. They have a bunch of different styles, and a selection of beers from breweries that I either haven't heard of or never tasted before. Love that. It gets boring seeing the same 3-4 breweries at every place that offers craft beer in SD.Vibe is super chill, casual and divey.Staff here is really nice. I didn't get his name, but he let me try a few different beers and gave great recommendations based on the styles I like.No food here, but the Papi’s Teppanyaki food truck is here from time to time. Check their IG for their schedule. Not sure if there are ever other options since I only recently found out about this place.Cheers!Edit: I came back a second time and the super cool bartender's name is Jett. If you come in on a day he's manning the bar, you're in great hands. :)

Kid-friendliness: There was a young family here with a stroller, but it wouldn't be my first choice for places to visit with kids.“

“I strolled by there at night and saw it was packed with people singing Karaeoke. I decided to go the next day. I did like the selection they have. The cool steampunk decorations and atmosphere are very neat. Josh was extremely pleasant to be around. Food was amazing! Will go again.“

“Such a cool little tap room full of drink options both with craft beer and cocktails. Space is modest but a good layout with Padres games always on. Haven't had the chance to try the food. Underground venue as well worth the visit when they are being promoted.“

“My family and I had a wonderful experience. The food, drinks, atmosphere, staff and price were on point. We definitely will be back to this restaurant.“

“Best Pizza absolutely amazing!“

“Great hidden gem in the heart of National City’s Market on 8th food hall!Excellent craft beer tap list goes along perfectly with the vast food options available in this open air food hall.Bar staff was very knowledgeable about craft beer and made some great recommendations.Came on a nearly 100 degree San Diego day and couldn’t even tell it was hot out with all the windows open & the cool ocean breeze blowing through.Highly recommend grabbing a beer here whenever you can“

“Tourist spot with decent food, but overpriced because it is on the island. I understand why they price it like this but it unfortunately isn't anything special. Staff was super friendly though and the location is beautiful.

Dietary restrictions: Not many options if you're both dairy free and gluten free.“

“Food is excellent, I tried fish tacos, ceviche and aguachile. Everything was perfect they have flavored water and both are very good. The waitresses are very polite and friendly but they do get busy and sometimes it may take a few minutes to get their attention but that may be because it was mother's Day. Highly recommended.“

“Fui con amigos por unas bebidas y resultó que la comida es fantástica“
