24 Best Craft Breweries near Imperial Beach

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

“The best portobello tacos and the kombucha 😋“

“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“

“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 🥰“

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

“This place is amazing. Very dog friendly. The burgers at the adjacent food stand are very tasty. I think the best aspects are obviously the beer and also the service. I came here with my two dogs for four days over comic con and every single bartender and person working here was so kind and welcoming towards me and my dogs.“

“Boochcraft has been my favorite beverage since 2021 starting with orange pomegranate. That flavor stayed my fav but there is not a Booch that I don’t like. It is the BEST hard kombucha. The ingredients are clean, the flavor is spot on, the ABV is 7%, and the carbonation is sharp. None of the other hard kombuchas on the market come close. Unfortunately it’s no longer sold in Dallas, TX. And my heart has been broken! There is no comparison. Please come back!“

“Amazing friendly place , staff so friendly“

“Came here to meet a group of friends to watch the Iran vs Egypt soccer game and Padres vs Dodgers game. The upstairs was closed, but the downstairs was packed with people both inside and outside.

The bartender was great. The beer selection was solid, and I really enjoyed their hazy IPAs.

We also tried their bbq pizza, and it was a standout. The crust was super crispy, and the flavor overall was really good.

Overall, this is a lively spot that’s perfect for watching a game. Tons of TVs throughout, great beer, and excellent pizza. It’s got a fun, social vibe and is an easy place to hang out with friends for a game or a casual night out.“

“The young lady that helped me today was beyond helpful. I think she was more than helpful and did above and beyond. I think the brewery was nice but I didn’t think it was the most convenient or practical. Considering it’s attached to the Intercontinental facing the harbor, there is slim to none parking. The area is pretty crowded too. During the day, the shaded areas were taken so it was hot outside. I think it is nice to be able to grab a couple beers and take a walk along the harbor… but other then that not for me personally. Much much better than the Miramar location.“

“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.“

“Knotty Brewing Co. had a relaxed, friendly vibe that I really enjoyed. The craft beers were fresh and full of character, and the staff seemed passionate about what they pour. It’s a casual spot where you can sit back, try a few different brews, and just enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.“

“Brewjeria is one of the best breweries on 3rd avenue! The food is outstanding, definitely better than your average bar food.

The drinks are good, the service is good too, I really enjoyed chatting with the bartender.

The bathrooms are spacious and clean.

I recommend trying the michelada cubana!“

“Great spot on the water for craft beer and food. Go with your favorite or try a variety in a flight. Great mix of malty, roasty, and hoppy beers, or if you're into the lighter varieties they have those too. Keep in mind there are two sets of taps, one downstairs and one upstairs, and both have patio seating. Beers are all pretty solid!“

“🙂👍 Jose is the man!“

“🙂👍 Shaun & Alex are great!“

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

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

“Best food of my trip! This made my birthday. We had carne asada fries as an appetizer, margaritas, and pork chops. The potatoes were excellent. And they brought me out a very nice wine pairing to my desert for my birthday. The server was good . I would recommend.“

“If you want to have drinks this is the place. Just be aware they do not have food at this location“

“I love walking over here and hanging out, all of the staff have been great, food is usually pretty good and of course the drinks as well. Like someone else said, their AC was having issues last time I was there. I asked about the condensation about to fall all over the bar and they said the owners were taking their sweet time getting it fixed and that the kitchen was super hot as well. I hope for the worker’s sake they get it fixed! Happy employees = happy customers.“

“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! 👍🏼“

“Arrived mid evening after a long flight, we sat at the bar, where we were seved by Will, who was an excellent host for our jet lagged requirements for food and drink.

Great recommendations from the menu, and made us feel very welcome to Brewery X and San Diego“
