    I really liked this place. Bartender was friendly and eager to give samples to help the selections, which is nice (and kind of old school brewery behavior). Enjoyed the music (yeah it was a bit loud, yeah it was punky) a lot. Fun vibes for a place like this. Decent amount of seating, too. I tried a few things and liked them all. Fun take on a seltzer and AMAZING barrel aged Barleywine.

    Space is small but allows for a more casual less hectic crowd. Beer list is shorter than I'm used to but each beer I tried was good. Did a flight of La Flama Blanca, Kill The Pour, 2 Heptic and Needle in the Hey (pictured). All were decent brews that provided a range of flavor and variety. Staff was friendly and space was clean. It's a nice place to grab a beer after work with a few friends just not suitable for big groups. Would revisit to try more of the beer menu. If you are looking for food, this is not the place. They offer chips only but will allow you to bring in any food from an outside source. If you're looking for a very casual place to grab a brew, this place is for you. If you are looking for an all inclusive style place, well...just make sure you bring your dinner with you.

    After walking around downtown, we found this small bar and had to stop in. With a good selection of both beers and seltzers, I opted for the 2 hectic IPA and she got the grape seltzer. Both were great. Nothing fancy here but the bartender was very helpful as well as friendly. Good place to go check out if you're downtown.

    Not good....avoid this place. The beers were terrible, I sampled a seltzer, it tasted so artificial and I could barely finish it. I ended up ordering michelada, it was also really bad and watered down. My husband had a coupon from a T-shirt subscription for here that doesn't expire, the guy working at 3 Pink Brewing refused to let us use the coupon, then lied and gave us the run around and claimed they were never part of the subscription club and that the 3 Punk Brewing logo was used without permission. This guy was clearly lying through his teeth. Our group of friends that were with us hated their beers from here as well and just left almost full glasses. Another friend had a seltzer that was really bad and tasted off and asked the worker if she could exchange it for another drink and was refused and had to pay full price for another drink. This is a waste of space, don't waste your time and money here, there are so much better breweries elsewhere.

    The interior had an interesting vibe, and the location itself seemed promising. I brought along an old Shirts on Tap coupon from a previous subscription; the kind where you get a brewery-themed shirt and a voucher each month. These coupons don't expire, but apparently that didn't matter. When I asked about using it, the server informed me, quite confidently, that the brewery was never part of the program, and that Shirts on Tap had simply decided to print their branding and distribute coupons entirely on their own initiative. A bold claim, to be sure. Whether that's actually true or just an impressively creative excuse, I'll leave to the imagination. As for the beer: entirely forgettable. I tried one of their IPA offerings, which landed squarely in the "mid" category. I also sampled a few beers and seltzers my friends ordered; some of which were, quite frankly, undrinkable. One friend even requested to swap out a particularly bad seltzer (I think it was watermellon, and it was full of lots of off flavors), but was flatly denied. We ended up leaving a few mostly-full glasses behind and moved on to a brewery that seemed more interested in serving drinkable beverages and perhaps, honoring their own branding. If you do end up here, I would avoid the seltzers.

    Interior (front where you order), back wall with the black tile looks sick

    Cool spot in Little Italy! Fast and friendly service. The tables and floor are clean (not sticky like other places). The structure of the place is beautiful with big open windows that allow sunlight to peek through and there's bench seating available as well. There's tall tables and regular ones as well. The interior has an emphasis of gold detailing, black tiles, and punk band wallpapers. The music is nice and relates to their theme, it's not overly loud like a club which is nice -- since you can hold conversations here! Their pint glasses have a nice thickness at the lip and a solid base. It also has their logo in a cool red font! They have unique beer selections and even flavored seltzers! Swing by and try them out, alone or with friends!

    The selection could benefit from some beefing up. They had about 8 beers on tap and all were pretty similar styles. The Oktoberfest was pretty good but It wouldve been nice to see something beyond the standard sorts of beers that everybody has. The potential is there, it just needs some oomph. Beertender was friendly though.

    Super chill and lowkey spot! Old school vibe, limited choice of alcohol (10 different kinds) which I enjoy because you don't get overwhelmed in trying to find one that suits your taste buds best. Personally, I recommend coming here if you're just looking to talk, enjoy alone time, or even to do school/work. LGBTQ+ and pet friendly as well

    Brought Not Not tacos in with me for a fabulous IPA
    Jason K.

    My wife and I were in San Diego for Memorial Day and we decided to get some of Sam the Cooking Guy's tacos and bring them to a new tap room we haven't been to before. It was only about three blocks away. I ordered an IPA from the nice bartender and sat down with my meal and he had Mad Max Fury on the TV, gotta love all of it. The whole atmosphere was perfect in Little Italy. The IPAs were hoppy and perfect (I ordered a second one) I also got a couple of stickers to trade with my brother-in-law. The tacos were a splendid complement to the beer and it was a solid meal in paradise.

    3 Punk Ales is located in the heart of Little Italy off India Street, serving up some of the finest beers on tap! I recently came here for their grand opening and was blown away by their selection of beers and seltzers they have to offer. Inside the decor and ambiance is a very clean modern-day look with fancy wall paper through out the fine establishment. They have a large screen TV playing music for your entertainment with ample seating throughout the place. Their main brewery is located in Chula Vista, where they brew the beer and decided to branch out in Americas finest city's downtown in Little Italy. I came in twice so far and tried their premium Mexican lager as well as the San Diego lager named 3rd Avenue. I also had their grape soda, which is a seltzer, and it was quite refreshing. The menu is posted up, which has the name and description of the beverages with alcohol content and price. The customer service was indeed second to none and provided service with a smile. The prices for beer were fair, and the quality was superb! I'm looking forward to coming back again and trying the Italian pilsner or Italian soda. There is a restroom on site and and outside food is authorized to bring in. Please check out this place and bring your pup since they are dog friendly. Familia x Cerveza x Musica x Fiesta

    Sipping on a cold one. The Oktoberfest was excellent.

    Hell yeah this place rocks literally. If you like beer and punk rock check out this new local dive not dive bar. The second location of this business. Stretching thier reach outside of Chula Vista. It's a small bar with a locals vibe. The art and decor are classic punk so get your punk ass down here and support local.

    I remember back when you were a wee baby…read more Covid-19 flashbacks to 2018...we were having dinner in the Kearny Mesa-Convoy St. area and wanted to check out what was new or different nearby and saw Hopnonymous on the Yelp search results. As we parked I realized this was the former location for Council Brewing (RIP - I liked their bourbon barrel aged stout btw). Other than the large wooden council table removed and obvious branding & decor changes, the general layout looked familiar. We received a warm, friendly welcome from Remy, who shared the brewery concept and backstory. Sampled beers from their list of six offerings and said we would return. Additional return visits and fast forward to 2026 with Hopnonymous Brewing doing quite well. The front patio is built out with additional seating, table space, and another tv screen to accommodate beer loving sports fans. The rotating food truck and pop-up kitchen schedule offers a variety of eats in with Trivia Tuesdays. Hop beertenders are very nice and a positive reflection of Remy's hospitality. Customer service is key. Until next time...Cheers!

Taken from that Foreigner song. It was called Jukebox Hero. Play on words. It's common in the beer industry. Familiarity with a twist. My personal favorite is the Big Fundamental IPA, which they don't always have on tap since it's not one of the core beers here. I've tried at least 5-6 other styles and they were all top tier. Just think of this, in a time when local breweries are closing faster than they open, this place is thriving. No doubt very impressive. They recently took over the Little Miss brewing location on Adams avenue, and for good reason. Build the business. They needed this in the area. There is still enough demand for great beer as you get closer to North Park believe it or not. On my most recent visit they did my favorite beer and chatted with the owner Remy for a minute. I met him pouring the beers back when they first opened years back. Great friendly Frenchman I must say! He even invited me to come to the Adams location next week as they will be installing an air conditioning system, so I'll stop by. He has a beer waiting for me I just know it.

Shout out to Dani for hustling behind the bar, while still providing such warm service. The outdoor area is the pièce de résistance of this brewery. The outdoor area gets a 5/5 for having a ton of seating, tables, and some shade covering. I love that they have some dartboards here, but both of them were so worn down, the bullseye areas were completely shredded. Since they're shredded to the core, the darts won't stick to the board in the bullseye areas, rendering the boards effectively useless. Please cop a few $50 dartboards and bring the back the fun.
