First and only time visiting, beer was good, rather quiet for a Saturday evening but Padres were playing at the time. Burgers ordered from next door were delicious paired with a couple of beers.
This place is amazing. Very dog friendly. The burgers at the adjacent food stand are very tasty. I think the best aspects are obviously the beer and also the service. I came here with my two dogs for four days over comic con and every single bartender and person working here was so kind and welcoming towards me and my dogs.
Cool little spot with friendly service! This was also my first experience with hop water (Holy water!) and it was a really nice, refreshing drink! I'd come back again for it.

The Church by The Lost Abbey is a unique beer hall located in a renovated Mexican Presbyterian Church in East Village, not far from the Padres stadium. The atmosphere is warm and unconventional, with stain-glass windows, church pews for seating, and a beer bar in place of a podium. A large communal table sits in the middle, with booths on the sides. While not a full-service restaurant, they serve brunch on weekends with breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and specialty beers on draft. The beer selection is extensive, featuring creative names and flavors like Shoreveza Mexican Lager and Every Everything West Coast IPA, served cold in tasting sizes. Guests can also order from Doggos next door using a tablet inside the bar. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent service. In addition to beer, they offer canned wine and food options like hot dogs, burgers, veggie burgers, Sonoran dog, and elote cup. The Church is dog-friendly, making it a great spot to grab a drink and a bite before a game or event at Petco Park. The vibe is unique and relaxed, with some reviews mentioning the well-preserved church interior and outdoor booths that add to the special atmosphere, especially when enjoying a beer while cheering on the Padres.
