22 Best Craft Breweries near Imperial Beach

“Nice place, all staff nice guys , Every time we go we have a great time“

“I DO recommend Pizza Port, however their pizza is not consistent. You can definitely tell if they are busy or not, the quality goes down. A few weeks ago the pizza was delicious, beautiful even (I wish I would have taken a picture) lol. Today, not so much , picture included. I will continue to eat here just hoping the pizza becomes more consistent“

“The best portobello tacos and the kombucha 😋“

“You know how you want to be a regular at your neighborhood spot? This is that place! The staff is truly the nicest and listen to your flavor preferences and really guide you to get the best beer for you. If you love good beer, nice people, and an amazing atmosphere- church is your place“

“Must visit. I don't care for most breweries but East Village Brewing changed that. Definitely try the Sandlot.“

“I love this spot! I went for the first time a few days ago and was quite impressed. The drinks are delish and the bartenders are super cool. My favorite part is the huge outdoor patio. I will definitely be returning 🥰“

“A great place if you're looking for great service from friendly folks. The owner Andy is welcoming and will defintely talk your ear off in all the best ways. This is truly one of San Diego and National City's hidden gems. Come enjoy craft beer and absolutely try a craft ice cream!“

“Amazing friendly place , staff so friendly“

“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“

“If I'm having an adult beverage and it's not wine, it's a boochcraft. Seriously the BEST alternative to beer (not really my thing) and so much tastier than a boring hard seltzer. For the record, there are other brands of hard kombucha out there that are on way more shelves (you know the one between May and July), but they don't come close to boochcraft. It boggles the mind to see that so many more retailers are going that direction when boochcraft is far and away a better sip. You can taste the freshness. If you haven't tried it - the grapefruit hibiscus is the best entry point. YUM!“

“Good beer, good food, service was top notch.“

“Came in Saturday night with my girlfriend. We watched a bit of drama unfold with another female patron, and somehow got pulled into it. The staff stayed friendly and professional the whole time. It ended up being such a wild, weird experience we’ll never forget. but the beer was on point and the two guys there were super chill. We’ll definitely come back here on our travels.“

“🙂👍 Jose is the man!“

“We had our wedding reception upstairs at Mission Brewery and it was the best decision ever. The manager Eric went above and beyond for us and made something so easy. Our bartender, I believe his name was George was so so great and also made our night to remember. Parking is nearby, close to many hotels, lots of space, and great beers. Highly recommend booking all of your events at Mission Brewery.“

“We booked the back patio area for a wedding event and had about ~90 guests over the course of 3 hours.

We highly, highly recommend Knotty Brewing for an event. The staff was *extremely* kind and attentive, the space was perfect in size and decor, the food and beverage selection was great! We made use of the outdoor TVs for sports, the cornhole section, and the private bar made it very easy to order.

Many thanks to the team at Knotty Brewing!“

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

“🙂👍 Shaun & Alex are great!“

“The food and drinks here are amazing! The service was great too. The staff was super attentive without being overbearing. We were seated right away and offered drinks almost immediately, which I loved. The music and ambiance were on point, definitely a vibe whether you come during the day or at night for dinner. I’d highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Great customer service I had the mobile app glitch called in and the manager Claudia helped me will definitely order again“

“Great place to come for a few beers and good food. They have a really good selection of beers to try and also limited edition beers, which I enjoyed.

I also ate here and the Mac and cheese is highly recommended alongside the good service.“

“Our son and daughter in law were visiting from Panama and chose this place . We each ordered something different and all the dishes served were great! Will definitely eat there again! 👍🏼“

“Pretty standard craft brewery vibes with the awkward staff as a pairing. Nice quiet neighborhood, above average beer, certainly on the pricier side for a pint these days. Small coffee shop inside is a nice touch. Will stick with the occasional Harland can purchase at the store to bring home.“
