It’s even better since the new owner & remodel!
This has been turned into a cafeteria dining experience. You order at the cash register when you come in, you get your own drinks and silverware and seat yourself. They deliver your food to your table but you wait on yourself if you need a refill or something additional. The food selection has more variety than the usual fried fare found at most sports bars. The Pepita Pesto pizza was good, but spicy and a bit sour, imo it would be elevated by adding a drizzle of Mexican Crema or some goat cheese to balance the spice and sour. The remodel has opened everything up to include outdoor seating with open walls to the outside and a concrete floor. At only 25% capacity, this place is EXTREMELY loud. During a sporting event, bring earplugs.

The beers in the food are always good here. Also the cocktails. They have 20% off wings on Wednesdays.

Cowles IPA (pronounced wrong by the bartender btw) is decent, the wings are just ok, and the order at the counter service is very impersonal. That said it’s a great space now, has a full bar and some of the other food looks good. Kid and dog friendly, plenty of parking and lots of TVs. I’m sold on the improvements, but I think they could be doing some things better. It’s a little sterile and lacking character but I’ll be back for sure. Pliny on tap gets them some cred in my book.

7:30 pm in San Diego area with an 18 hungry teen we decided to jump here and it’s a Monday, and they have happy hour all day with $5 beers so we tried a few because we really were looking to drink but we were hungry and we wanted to try the place. The catch, the $5 beers were all commercial beers not the house made. So going to a brewery and not have their house beers was not really an option for us.
They were very pleasant and welcoming, we got our order in and went to our table enjoy our food : sweet potachoes with brisket to share and the Prime rib dip combo .
For drink: house recommendations was the hey cerveza man! as I am a light drinker, and pint blueberry wheat, and a cup of hot chocolate for the teen. We Tried the SD night scene #1 that looks like it was not the same price as the rest of the beer and it’s was not as strong as it looked, it smelled like dark chocolate to me. Overall it was tasty and welcoming we would gladly return.
Vegetarian options: They have quite a few options, it’s SD a lot of vegan and vegetarian options in the area, this was not the exception.
Kid-friendliness: Yes it’s kid friendly
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, all welcome

San Diego Brewing is one of the best restaurants in San Diego. The new owners that took over a couple years ago have made it such a warm and welcoming place to catch a game or have a fun night out with someone special.
The food is amazing, the beer is delicious and all the staff are as kind as can be.
If you catch the owner in the store he always makes sure to say hi and help out. As a local I absolutely love this place.

Being an out of town visitor this placed looked nice to visit but when me and my son ordered a hamburger the meat inside was raw, yuck! I ordered a lettuce wrap and there was a piece of lettuce on the top and bottom, what a pitiful looking wrap! My son couldn’t finish his as it was too raw. For the price you pay these days for food it needs to be presentable and tasty but I will venture out to other restaurants next time, not here.
