Amazing beachside spot! They have a fantastic variety of beer, catering to all tastes, and plenty of vegetarian options, which is a huge plus. The tacos are delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, making it a perfect place to relax with good food and drinks while enjoying the ocean view. Highly recommend!

Great beer, supreme location and really friendly service. Beer is great and apparel is priced very well too. I love the aluminum cups, way better than plastic

Beer is good. However; we ordered a pollo asada taco and birria. The tacos were very mid, could have gone without it. The birria had half fat in the meat. The texture was so off. The taste was mid. These were gentrified tacos and they tried as hard as they could, but they did not eat as well as they thought they did. Beer is good though; that’s the only upside. As other customers were eating their food, they also made comments about it not being that good. But we’re all here for the views and beer. It’s San Diego too, I don’t know what I expected.

Fish tacos are really good, particularly the spicy shrimp, scallop and Mike Hess fish tacos. Other than fish, the Hawaiian chorizo taco was pretty good. Tacos are bigger than usual, I'd recommend two per person with an appetizer to share.

Was alright, wasn't my fav beer or brewery in town.

Went just before sunset on Sunday, September 15th, 2024. We had spent the day at Sesame Place and wanted to visit the seaport before dropping one of our party off at the airport. Chose this place essentially by accident. Took us a minute to adjust to the differences of a normal restaurant: there aren't servers--you go up and place your order at the counter, and someone brings it out to the table you're at. We needed a 4-top plus a spot for our grandson sleeping in his stroller, and we were able to fit in at the lone table available at the time. Employees were quick to help wipe off the table. Because it was late, and I was driving in an unfamiliar area, along with my grandson in the vehicle, I didn't try the beers and instead just got a coke. I wasn't sure of how many tacos to order, because they're priced fairly cheap for the location. I ended up ordering two: the fish taco and the Hawaiian chorizo, and the group split an order of guacamole and chips, as well as ordering 2 tacos for themselves. Everyone enjoyed their various tacos. I found the guac to be bland, which was closer to just smashed avocados with tomatoes and onions on the top. The Hawaiian taco was excellent, but the fish taco was absolutely incredible. I really wish I ordered more, but there's always next time. I also was very interested in the beans, but we ended up going with the guac instead. If they ever open a location in Phoenix, I'll try to be first in line.

It was a Friday evening and you could tell everyone was excited, it was a great time. The room service canned beer I had at the hotel was really delicious, so I came here from Little Italy thinking I wanted to try the draft beer here. As a result, the canned beer I bought at the previous brewery got condensed and the paper bag tore, and now I'm smashing it on the street! The driver went out of his way to open the window and tell me. Again, I bought a can of beer as a souvenir, asked for a plastic bag, and got it. Can you give me a bag in the US? That's why I left the eco bag I usually use in my room.
And this time, we have the seasonal October Hess and this month's limited tacos.
Honestly, this is the perfect size for beer snacks (locals, of course, order more).
And draft beer. It's less addictive, easy to drink, and crisply chilled. delicious.
Naturally, I ordered a large size, but I wish I could have ordered some smaller ones.

It's a bit of a walk from downtown, but I like the beer here! I'm sure.
We carefully wrap each item, declare it at customs, and take it home. It seems like it's not sold in Japan.

Had a great time! The establishment was kind enough to let us host our Veteran's Reunion lunch here. Food was great. And we tried some of their very own beer that they made. The ambiance was nice! And the view towards the bay was beautiful. We could see the carriers coming in! Great place to eat or just get a few beers and watch the Padres play!
