Very disorganized. Out of most beers. Menu looks great but couldn't say based on the experience at bar.

Things I loved: super dog friendly, couches, outdoor area, wine. Things that need working on: the charcuterie board sucked. Cheese was bland. Serve didn't even know what type of cheese it was. The cocktail was super "juicy." Tasted more like a capri sun than a cocktail. Things I can't comment on: didn't try the beer or any other food. We were turned off and left after first round.

Half Door Brewing is a home run when it comes to being close to Petco Park! I mean, where else can you sip on a refreshing drink while being just a hop, skip, and a jump away from catching a ball game? And let me tell you, their selection of brews is as vast as the outfield at Petco. But the real MVP here is the truffle burger. It's like hitting a grand slam with every bite! The combination of juicy beef, decadent truffle aioli, and perfectly melted cheese is a taste sensation that will have you cheering like you just won the World Series. So next time you're in the mood for some great beer, delicious food, and a side of baseball, head on over to Half Door Brewing. You'll feel like a winner, even if the Padres strike out.

This place was alright. My friend really talked up the food and ambiance, but I didn't find it to be anything special. I would not recommend the mezcal marg, the flavor profile was a weird mix. The fried goat cheese was unique and delicious, and the flatbread was decent, but I wasn't a huge fan of the HDBC salad and ended up tossing most of it. The place was dead on a home game night for the Padres, so service was fast. Overall, it was meh. I'd rather try somewhere new than revisit.

I thought with the high marks oh Yelp we were in for some great beer and food but I gotta say it was pretty pedestrian all the way around. Cool porch where you can see the Padres stadium from but that was probably the highlight. Beer was mediore at best and the burger looked and tasted like a frozen patty. So many cool places in the area, wish we had mad a different choice!

Restaurant 9/10 Honestly just wow, I haven't even gotten the rest of my food when starting this review but posting when I'm done here... absolutely amazing place. I would give 6 stars if I can. The food is so Homey and the vibes are very comforting. The service is super friendly and kind. I've been to many pubs and bars and restaurants and this has to be one of the better ones I've been to. -------------------------------- If I could, I'd be in a loop of truffle fry eating Fluffy bread in the sandwich. Solid 6/10 sandwich. Good but not amazing. Mostly because it is a simple tasting sandwich.

Awesome bar by the Padres stadium! After a long day at a conference, my colleagues and I made our way to get some drinks, appetizers, and bit of food. It's an old style house that's been refurbished with great bar seating indoor with classy architecture and quaint outdoor seating. We sat on their terrace top and had great vibes with sun, breeze, and the city view. Our server, Dominic, was awesome with lots of energy and attention to our dining experience. We started off with pretzel bites, and they were salted to perfection. My colleagues just got drinks but I was starving for some solid food. I ordered a medium rare goat cheese burger, and I was so happy with the portion size. Great flavors of goat cheese, delicious meat, onion jam, and garlic aioli. So massive that I had to cut the burger in half. Very filling and I would definitely order again. Loved the experience of this place, and I definitely recommend that you too as well!

Delicious food and fun atmosphere. We came for late lunch before concert at Petco Park. Was fun to hear the sound check and Billy Joel. So many fun places to sit- see pictures. We sat on 2nd floor balcony and had prompt and friendly service by Spencer. The food is EXCELLENT. We enjoyed scotch eggs, the burger and crispy chicken sandwich. Burger was cooked perfectly, juicy and served with a delicious truffle aioli and roasted tomatoes and pickled onions. Highly recommend.
First time at this place and loved it. Arrived early for dinner before concert at Petco. Immediately seated at a table for our 8 friends. House Chardonnay was great and generous pour. Fish and Chips large portion and homemade fries delicious. Sausage rolls were delicious as well. Our server "Lee" was attentive and delightful and did her best as the place became packed. Will definitely be back!

Tyler provided great service for our group. The playlist playing was so good. Ranch on the side is 0.50¢ extra but ketchup is free ?My husband is gluten free and got the burger without a bun. They were out of cider and the seltzer was just okay. Beer was great tho! ?

Top craft brewery in the city. Layout feels like you're at someone's house. Beer and booze selection plus the food make this a must go location.
