30 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.“

“We used to live around the corner but moved away many years ago. It was great to revisit KSBC and enjoy it just as much as we did last time.

Excellent service (and beer advice) from Taylor and it was also wonderful to chat with Bonnie.

If you get a chance to meet her, be sure to ask about the history of the place, and also “the photo” :-)

Food was terrific, and it was good to see they still cater well for vegetarians.

We often travel through San Diego on our travels, and try to stop here when we can. We haven’t been disappointed yet.

Thanks Taylor & Bonnie for the friendly welcome, great food & beer, plus the added bonus of some interesting conversation.

We look forward to our next visit.“

“My fiancé and I came here looking for a rehearsal dinner venue and were super impressed! The food was great and the service was exceptional!! Our server Carlos was so friendly and conscientious. He really went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and having a good time. After that great first visit, we decided to book our wedding rehearsal dinner here. We love the chill vibe of the lawn for our guests and really appreciate the heaters. Can't wait!“

“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! 👍🏼“

“Great Selection of modern IPA’s“

“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!“

“Dog friendly outdoor great service good beer nice atmosphere“

“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. 💥“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

“This is the second year in a row we have stayed at Crystal Pier in San Diego. Both trips we have ordered deliver from SD TapRoom and all of our meals have been delicious. Last night was the best one for me though. I actually called them thinking they had deliver me a regular crust pizza instead of gluten-free (I have celiac). It tasted WAY TOO GOOD to be gluten-free, but it was! I have no idea how they made such a good crust (I actually said this can’t be what I ordered since it tasted so good)! The salads are also fabulous and my sister had the fish taco’s and loved them. Chili and burgers have also been a hit. Thanks for a great couple of dinners!“

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

“My wife and I were recently craving some local beer and burgers, so we decided to stop by Karl Strauss Brewing Company. I was honestly surprised by how good everything was. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the beer selection was excellent, which exactly what we were looking for.
The atmosphere was awesome too. I really liked the design of the brewery and the overall vibe of the place. It’s the kind of spot where you can just relax, enjoy a couple of local beers, and have a great meal without overthinking it. We had a really good time and will definitely be coming back.“

“This is the first time I’ve been somewhere quite like this. It’s a classic brewery and restaurant but it’s set in a massive space with multiple seating sections with large, excellent quality TVs. Beyond burger was a little uninspired but that’s my fault for getting something uninspiring. The beer was good, especially the coconut haze, and the spot looks like it would be electric during a major sporting event. I ended up watching curling. :-)“

“Stopped into Mason Ale Works in Barrio Logan and was pleasantly surprised to see they had hard ciders on tap. I ordered a cider flight and was immediately in my happy place — great variety and a fun way to try a few different flavors.

The bartender was super friendly, and the whole vibe was casual and fun, the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned.

Even better, you can grab tacos from Tacos El Villasana out back and enjoy them on the patio with your drinks.

Great little spot to hang out for a bit. 🍻“

“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.“

“Fun with my family from Colorado and local.“

“Great atmosphere & amazing sours.“

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

“Great location. Tons of parking. Great mix of indoor and outdoor! Fantastic Happy Hour 3pm-5pm HH. Good core beers, with addition of featured beers. I usually get Hefe, Follow the Sun, or Karlito. I usually come for HH for Wings. Wings are 10/10. Singed up with Karl Rewards and got a free App. Normal Menu items are a bit over priced and nothing special too me. Mac n Cheese is a bit over hyped.“

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

“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.“

“I happened to find this cidery through National Cider month this year. I was so excited to try their cider that I signed up for their monthly cider club, sadly to find out that they don't ship to Minnesota. They worked with me on sending a few of their ciders though and I was hooked!

Fast forward a few months and I happen to be in San Diego so we decided to stop in. The atmosphere was amazing! It was like finding a piece of the woods in the middle of busy San Diego. The staff was fantastic to interact with, the food was so delicious, and the cider is fabulous! I have a huge love for dry ciders and their ciders check those boxes. Even the non-dry ciders are not overly sweet. Definitely will be back and hoping one day I can get their cider back here in Minnesota.“

“One of my favorite local places to eat! Great beer, and great people 🍻“

“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. 💥“

“Some of the best beers in San Diego“

“There’s no ginger beer like Preston’s. The quality is absolutely unmatched, he’s truly a master of his craft! They offer a variety of unique flavors, and every one of them is delicious. If you’re a fan of ginger, this is definitely a spot you’ll want to check out!!“

“we hosted our baby shower at longball and it was such a great experience. daniel and caroline were super accommodating and responsive throughout the planning process, and dimitri was our amazing bartender onsite. our friends loved all the beverage offerings, and the simulator had so many game options - great for adults and the kids. definitely recommend hosting events with longball!“

“me encanta la atención al cliente y la convivencia“

“Great place for gathering with friends.“
