33 Best Brewpubs in San Diego

“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“Fantastic ciders and food!!“

“Haven't been here in years! Met up with friends for dinner on a Saturday evening and there were lots of open tables on their patio. All the tables against the Japanese pond were reserved.

I ordered the Salmon and quinoa dish and it was pretty good. The portion was a good size. We also ordered the carne asada fries appetizer and I really liked that one too. We don't recommend the Pastrami plate though. It was fatty and falling apart. But the side salad substitution for fries was delicious.

Forgot our server's name but he was great. I couldn't decide on a couple of beers and he offered to give me samples before I ordered. He also took great care of us all evening.“

“We hosted an annual UCLA Alumni Network of San Diego event here in conjunction with the USC Young Alumni Association of San Diego for Rivalry Week. Megan made everything so easy to book and order apps for the group, they had drink tickets we could use for our guests, and guests could also order additional drinks and food on their own tabs. We plugged into the giant screens for our Game Show and they were amazing!

Everyone had a great time and I've always enjoyed the beer and food at Novo. The servers were attentive and took good care of our group of 40. Thanks to Leo, Megan, Ava, and the whole team!“

“Cider is delicious, as is the food. As a pescatarian, I really appreciate all the vegetarian options and customizations. I joined the Cider Club and it is great. The ciders and discount are awesome but the camaraderie is the best. They also have beer, wine, and cocktails, so something for everyone! (Even N/A!)
The Mexican Caesar with a side of fries is the BEST light lunch or dinner. I keep coming back for it.
The service is always beyond incredible. Everyone is super friendly and eager to help you find what you want.“

“I met my Comic-Con friends for a late lunch before preview night. We had to sit outside, which was fine until the sun sank low enough to hit us right in the eyes! The food and beer was first rate. I highly recommend the poke nachos and fish and chips.“

“Beautiful restaurant, great food. Service was a bit spotty, kept having to ask for drinks, salad dressing, sweetener.....however the server went out of her way to help one in our party who couldn't find the place and it was much appreciated.“

“PFG here! (Pretty Fn Good!) Our Go to is Swiss mushroom burger & their parmesan truffle fries. This is our 3rd time here, this time we got a Caprese salad.. would be better served on a Plate instead of a Ratty charcuterie board.
Ask for some extra balsamic glaze 4 those fries to dip in.. & You Will be BACK! CHEERS 🥂“

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

“A small but welcoming satellite taproom of this classic San Diego brewery. The beers are great and they do have some small batch seasonal stuff that is definitely worth trying. A word of caution, it shares an outdoor space with the cigar lounge next-door, so if you are not amicable to cigar smoke, pick a table inside.“

“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! 👍🏼“

“Had a quick lunch here today. Yummy salad ( a bit heavy on the blue cheese, but fixable) fun ambiance and very helpful friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place! Also, kind on my wallet which makes going here a no brainer!“

“Veggie varieties as well as meat ones are so delicious!“

“Their burger is amazing. If you love crispy fries, this is the place.“

“Great Selection of modern IPA’s“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

“Fun with my family from Colorado and local.“

“Dog friendly outdoor great service good beer nice atmosphere“

“My husband and I are familiar with the brewery in Mission Valley so they had our favorite San Diego gold and nut brown beers. The pizza truck gave us a great thin crust pizza to eat with our beers. A great date night.“

“Made this our first visit on a North Park brewery crawl and it was a great way to kick it off. Extremely friendly staff who helped us pick our beers as out of town guests. Nice little patio area to sit in the sun. Lots of locals were making their way in and out while we were there which is always a great sign!“

“Great atmosphere & amazing sours.“

“Must visit. I don't care for most breweries but East Village Brewing changed that. Definitely try the Sandlot.“

“Ive been trying to keep this place a secret because its that good. But really, great beer and food. And wonderful staff.

My recomendations: Beer: Aurora Hoppyalis
Food: Brussel Sprouts.

S/o to Aj at the bar! great attitude!“

“We love everyone especially our servers. They are the bomb! Come check it out.“

“Great beer and operated by a retired SCPO! Gotta try the HONCH Apple Seltzer! It’s the closest I’ve had to a CHUHI since I PCS’d out of Japan in ‘95! I’ll be stopping by whenever I am in San Diego from now on!“

“The team who works here is amazing. The beer has depth and character and the Hazy's.... OMG! Top notch! It is a San Diego must see/taste brewery. One thing that stands out as well is that the have sours but not traditional ones. They are not sour at all, more like a fruit drink. I can now bring my non beer loving friends with me and enjoy. There are two other breweries attached to this one as well. Three breweries who all have specialties so whatever type of beer you like you will find it it.“

“Battleground Brown is outstanding!!!“

“Really good non-alcoholic ginger beer! There was a surprising variety of flavors available. What was nice is some were spicier than others, so if you're into really spicy ginger you can get the original or matcha flavors, or for something more mild go for the POG for instance. They had some delicious meat pies available as well for a bite to eat. All their flavors are available to go on cans, the owner sealed some right in front of us. This was a really cool option in this complex, something delicious but not intoxicating.“

“Shh! Don’t tell anybody but Fall Brewing continues to be a top 3 brewer in SD. I’ve never tried a beer they make I didn’t like. 💥“

“I had a very positive dining experience a couple of nights ago with my coworkers at Knotty Barrel PQ! It was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night! While I noticed there was trivia going on, I'm sure the consistent business is due to the great vibes, food, drinks, and service.

Our server, Julian, did an amazing job. He was very helpful in explaining the menu and provided incredibly fast service. Even though it was quite busy, he made sure to check on all of his tables. The food was delicious, and your drink selections were fantastic!

This was my first time bringing my coworkers to Knotty Barrel, and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you to Julian and the entire staff for providing a great night for us! I will definitely recommend your establishment in the near future.“
