Marco Montane’s hospitality and service was unmatched. Will be coming back just because of his service.
First time here, visiting family and we decided to come to Ballast Point Brewing. So happy we did, and definitely recommended! Food was delicious and extremely reasonable, the view when dining was absolutely amazing. The ships coming in and out of the harbor, dolphins playing in the water. Will definitely return when we come back for another visit.
Been to Ballast Point many times in the past, but my last visit to the Long Beach location was great. Thanks to our server, Yesenia, for her calm and chill vibe. My homie and I stopped in, and even when the brewery got busy, she stayed completely relaxed, never rushed us, and kept the service smooth and effortless. It made the whole night feel way more laid-back and enjoyable—we'll definitely be back!

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 generally receives positive feedback, though some dishes, like Fish and Chips, could benefit from minor adjustments.
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, quick, and knowledgeable, especially when catering to food allergies or special requests. Service experiences can vary; some find it a bit challenging due to reliance 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.
