22 Best Craft Breweries in Vista

“What a great experience.. great beer and an awesome place.. for sure will be backs and will bring friends with me.. cheers 🍻“

“This place was awesome! We drove from Kansas City to check this place out and we were not disappointed. Absolutely fantastic beer and staff!“

“Chill spot. Very awesome and respectful bartender. I had a fly in my beer and she was able to replace it which I was beyond grateful about. I think this location is suited towards certain individuals but they do definitely have quality product. Any golf bros in the area, this is your spot.“

“So fun! I loved this medieval-themed bar - John was my favorite bar maiden! There were lots of games to choose from, and they had a yummy selection of meads and ciders. I definitely recommend checking out AZ Trivia on Thursdays too! 🍻🏰“

“The best kept secret in North County, I’ll say it! Absolutely love the team here & this brewery is rad for so many reasons. The menu of drinks had great beer, seltzers, and NA options (which feels nice when bringing friends!). Their space is also huge; so many different parts of the brewery that you can hangout at and doesn’t feel like you’re on top of one another.“

“Best open mike in town. Great lighting stage and sound. 🎶🎸 And a warm welcoming family vibe!“

“Good beer , great pizza, good vibe been coming here for years“

“Edit, post-move to Keystone:
Equally nice to have The Lost Abbey in their own space in Vista again. Plenty of space to stretch out. The beer is as good as ever, with plenty on the menu. The pinball games are a nice and affordable addition for entertainment. BYO food most days.

Original review:
Great to have a Lost Abbey off the 78 again! Always a treat to have their top tier Belgians on tap. Even saw Cuvee de Tomme and Duck Duck Gose there. They also have newer IPA options. Shared space with the original building owners, Mother Earth with their classic and experimental American styles. Beers average $8. NA drinks in cans. Minimal snacks. No frills, one stop brewery.“

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“Definitely a hidden gem. I went and saw stand up comedy there tonight and the staff was great. I will be coming back. Chill vibe.“

“I have been sporadically visiting this place since it opened. In fact, I would drive by every so often while it was under construction to see if it was open. I really enjoy their beer and staff. When they opened another spot in downtown Vista, I visited there often. When friends come into town, I make it a pint to take them there.“

“Great selection of beer styles“

“Great environment and great beer!“

“Beautiful location right in the heart of Downtown Vista. They have amazing beers and the almost nightly dancing is so much fun. Comedy nights are always a blast too. I always meet the nicest people here. 10/10“

“Went for some beer and food with my husband. The beer was from Barrel and Stave and was great tasting. Had a burger from Baby’s and those were both good too! Definitely coming back“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had an amazing experience at Backstreet Brewer thanks to Kevin! He was absolutely awesome — friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about his craft. He made some of the best drinks I’ve ever had, perfectly tailored to our preferences. The atmosphere was great, but Kevin really made it special with his top-notch service and positive energy. Highly recommend this place and definitely ask for Kevin if you want a fantastic bar experience. Will be coming back for sure!“

“I had an issue recently and contacted LRK. I wasn’t expecting what they gave me to correct the issue. OMG! I have been a LRK customer for almost a year now and I will continue! Great product and a beautiful company that believes in quality and taking care of their customers!! Please don’t change as you all get bigger at Local Roots!! Love you all!“

“Love this place, try to come once a week. Dog friendly and kid friendly with great staff and great quality food“
