We went there on a Sunday afternoon. It was in the mid 70s and perfect for some drinks and eats. We had the truffle blanco burger and Cesar salad. Both were amazing flavors.
The service was on point. The drinks were delivered quick and the food showed up in appropriate time too. The hostess was super friendly too.
I would highly recommend the truffle blanco burger! It is very filling.

I really enjoy coming here. The food, beers and service are all excellent. Try the lamb fries! Trivia on Wednesday nights is very fun as well. The upstairs is open air and is great for getting together with friends.

Came here for a private party that used their upstairs space. Food was pretty good, and service was friendly. The space was nice with a seamless indoor/outdoor transition, and they accommodated a pretty large party of ~40 people.

The beer is usually all right but varies. The food is ok. Be warned even though they are a brewery and will not tell you up front they do not allow outside food. The rooftop is closed at seemingly random times so do not come here expecting it or you will be dissapointed.

This brewery has an amazing space and some fantastic unique beers on tap. The entire tasting room is a step above most other breweries in the area. It is an extremely comfortable place to hang out, both upscale and relaxed. They are pet friendly, and all of the staff was really helpful. The Boots + Stubbies Schwartzbier is definitely one of the most delicious and unique beers in the area.
There is tons of seating for any size party you could bring. The bottom floor offers indoor seating and a great view of the brew house. There are large widows that open up so you can enjoy the weather. Upstairs is a large rooftop patio part of it is covered. This place also offers food, and you will have to scan a QR code to get to it or visit their website.
Parking: Like all the other places in the area, your gonna most likely need to find near by street parking. Sometimes it can be a walk if it is busy.
Kid-friendliness: Very family-friendly establishment.
Wheelchair accessibility: The building is wheelchair accessible.

Came here specifically for the Barbacoa Lamb fries, and was not disappointed. Lamb was tender and flavorful, and the fries were absolutely bangin. Crisp and well seasoned on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The beer is also very, very good. The rooftop is stunning. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to stop here when you're in San Diego.

I rarely leave reviews now a days but wow I got the ghost chicken sandwich and it was literally perfection. I also got a carrot cake and it was amazing and I am a former pastry chef so I don’t always enjoy others baked goods. Cant wait to try more of the menu.
Good service on the first floor. Moved up to the roof and were treated poorly.

Good food, good service, tasty brews and a really awesome sausage roll. Super tasty and went really well with the Pilsner. The place was a great stop in the neighborhood just before seeing a show.

I visited this restaurant on 7/27 and had a rather disappointing experience. When my food initially came out, it was burnt, and the server never checked in—we had to flag her down, and it was not busy. She forgot our drink order and was not apologetic after bringing it to her attention. We noticed her being attentive to every table but ours. Finally, when we were able to order our dinner, which was the buttered chicken pie, it turned out to be extremely bland. The dinner was not great; the sausage roll was cold as well. We had to flag her down again to close out, and she didn't apologize upon leaving, knowing we had a lackluster experience. Overall, the service was slow, and the food quality did not meet expectations.
