About Ballast Point Brewing

Ballast Point Brewing is a popular restaurant located next to a marina with great views of Alamitos Bay and Catalina. Visitors often enjoy the spectacular scenery, especially around sunset, from the upstairs deck, making it a perfect spot to relax with a cold beer from their extensive selection. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxing, with a well-designed interior that adds to its charm. The menu offers a variety of tasty options, including favorites like Fish and Chips, poke bowls, pastrami burgers, cauliflower tacos, and asada nachos. The food receives positive feedback, with many guests describing the wedding food as the best they have ever had.

The beer selection is consistently good, and the drinks, such as Hawaiian Mai Tai and berry hard cider, are highly recommended. The staff is often praised for being friendly and helpful, especially when catering to food allergies or special requests. Service relies on QR codes for ordering and self-serve water, with occasional lines at the bar. Despite these inconveniences, the overall experience is enjoyable, especially for out-of-town visitors or those celebrating special occasions. The combination of great views, tasty food, and good beer makes Ballast Point Brewing a worthwhile visit, though some may find the service setup less ideal during busy times.
