Located in the UCSD grad housing, you're guaranteed interesting people and the bartender is a lively welcoming person. Well curated selection of beverages and trivia on Wednesdays.”

The guys are duper knowledgeable and have helped me successfully brewing my own beer. If I have questions, they have answers.

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.”

    “Nice place. Smaller place with indoor and outdoor seating. I had a couple really good IPAs, but they had no stouts or porters, which I prefer - reason for 4/5. On Wed evening they have trivia. Didn't play officially, but looked like a lot of fun. I was there a year ago on a Saturday night and they had a band inside. That was fun. Parking is plentiful. They had a food truck. From what I saw others had it looked like good tacos and burritos. Not sure full menu.”

    “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.”

Located on the upper level of the Sky Deck food hall at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, it offers a relaxed setting with nice views of the surrounding area. I ordered a sampler featuring Old Mission Lager, Everyday California, Pipe Dreams, and Dark Seas. All four were enjoyable, but the Old Mission Lager was my favorite that day because of its crisp, refreshing flavor. My companions enjoyed their selections as well. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with friendly service, good beer, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're already visiting Sky Deck, it's a nice place to relax with a beer and enjoy the view.”
