Great atmosphere and staff, the food is very inconsistent. I’ve been here 50+ times on the way back from fishing, when they are busy the quality really seems to suffer.

Many of the dishes are obviously not made fresh and just reheated, and for the price I would expect more.

Hoping it bounces back to where it was when they opened.

No dogs allowed? Should be no kids allowed. Parents letting their kids run around the entire outdoor patio, blocking doorways. Staff have no idea who they belong to and have the asked the kids a few times to steer clear of the main door so they can deliver food and drink to guests.

The wi-fi and cell service sucks making the QR code menu a drag. There was no indication which of the multiple BP wi-fi signals we were supposed to use.

The service during our visit was minimal at best. No one seems to take responsibility for individual tables. The ice cream dessert came out before lunch or beer. So I guess customers need to manage their orders? It sucks that the QR system requests tips prior to being able to experience the service. Definitely not worth the 20% tip

The Ahi Poke bowl was mostly white rice (little to no furikake seasoning as advertised) with tiny servings of Ahi and other ingredients. Not worth $22. The other food was pretty good, nothing special.

Good beer though!

We love this place and have been here several times. You must enjoy the pretzel and wings plus many options for dinner. Tonight we were lucky to have serving us Auyoung and Emily who were so personable and professional. It’s a must if you are looking for casual vibe and always cold (outstanding) beer!!!

Great views of the harbor. You sit yourself at any table, so pretty much first come first serve. You order food at the bar. The food is what you’d expect from a brewery, typical finger foods and shareable. I’m not a beer drinker but I actually liked the one I tried, which was the Hello SD.
Additionally, I had the spicy watermelon margarita and Mai passion. Wasn’t a fan of the watermelon but the Mai was good.

Panoramic view of the pacific ocean and surrounding bay. Awesome atmosphere. Brewery has wine based cocktails. Got the fish tacos and lobster roll and both needed a little more flavor, no heat or spice. Bland to my taste buds. Michelada was great. Spicy margarita had no spice either. Great place to enjoy the view unfortunately not the best food. Have to order thru a qr code, no table service. Kinda a bother when ordering multiple beers as u have to qr order every time.
