Came here to meet a group of friends to watch the Iran vs Egypt soccer game and Padres vs Dodgers game. The upstairs was closed, but the downstairs was packed with people both inside and outside. The bartender was great. The beer selection was solid, and I really enjoyed their hazy IPAs. We also tried their bbq pizza, and it was a standout. The crust was super crispy, and the flavor overall was really good. Overall, this is a lively spot that's perfect for watching a game. Tons of TVs throughout, great beer, and excellent pizza. It's got a fun, social vibe and is an easy place to hang out with friends for a game or a casual night out. read more

Everything! Well balanced beer selection, friendly staff. Multiple seating options depending on your vibe. Limited snack options but they had individual Chex Mix bags at the time so no real issue there. I've had their beer for years and had no idea it was nearby. However the navigation app on my phone gave poor directions. But this is a hidden gem by the Sports Arena. Today was a good day read more

Bay City Brewing - My daily Zen - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

The building is a little inset from the road but not difficult to find. Lot and street parking available for free. Very friendly and helpful bartender. I really like that he would address me by name, including when I left and he thanked me for stopping by. Good beer selection, including a couple wine options. I like to go on Thursdays for the $5 beer special. Large outdoor seating area with heaters. They offer 4 packs to go. Good spot, it will be one of my new SD regs. read more

My go to place when attending a Gulls game before and after, good brews and variety. Lets not forget about their prices, very affordable compared to the vendors inside sports arena, such a lowkey location and the best part is the fact that it is walking distance from the sports arena venue. They different food trucks parked outside incase you want a bite to eat as well. read more

BCB is a super cool unassuming AWESOME brew house. Located near Pachenga casino, BCB has about a dozen on tap offerings and each are fantastic. My fave is called juicy gang hazy ipa. Coming in at about 8 abv... this brew is no joke. It bursts w tropical, citrusy flavor and goes down way to easy. Go here by Uber and drink these wonderful beers!!! read more

I've had most of the menu and have loved every beer I've tried here. Today was overcast and cold, perfect weather for a stout. The Gambino didn't disappoint. It is well balanced and smooth. My hubby is addicted to the Coco Ono a Pina colada hazy IPA. Also an awesome choice tith the pineapple nicely complementing the hops and the coconut being present but not overwhelming. Definitely stop by and have a taste. Staff are all helpful and friendly too. read more

Cool little spot! Really enjoyed my 4th anniversary coffee cream ale. It was super light and not at all what I'd expect from a coffee flavored beer. Just a nice hint of coffee, mmm. Hubs loved the Power Play IPA. The outside area is super cute - a great place to chill in the summer. I wish they had the heaters on because it's a wee bit chilly for SD, but still pretty nice outside. And it's surprisingly not loud being so close to the highway. Beers ranged from $4-6, super reasonable. Definitely a great spot to check out! read more

Bay City Brewing - Wall of adorable dogs. Love it! - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

Randomly stopped by after the swap meet to grab a drink! The bartender was very friendly and was very helpful in choosing a brew and offering samples. They had a ton of IPA choices which I appreciated, my friend went with their Pina Colada inspired hazy which she was obsessed with. It was pretty busy due to them hosting a school of rock day. There were multiple performances while we were there from kids, It was pretty random but very entertaining! read more

Bay City Brewing - Spacious porch with tons of seating! - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm a big fan of Bay City Brewing. I go to the downtown location often, but have been to the Hancock location a few times. The beer here is always on point. I got the Pina Colada IPA and it did not disappoint. The outdoor seating is exceptional. They've got a garden going in the back, and a lot of unique seats. Definitely a great spot to visit. read more

Bay City Brewing - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

Definitely the place to go before a Gulls game, or anything else at the Sports Arena! I had two different IPA's that were both great. The workers were awesome. One thing I especially liked was that if you ordered a pint, they offered an 8oz pour of one brew and an 8oz pour of another for the same pint price. Every other brewery in this city charges more (per ounce) for smaller pours. That alone would get me to go back. read more

This place is pretty cool! Great beer, friendly staff, and a cool atmosphere. You can order takeout to the brewery which is nice if you wanna eat something specific. We loved the game room and played a round of darts and watched the fiesta game. Definitely will be back! read more

A solid brewery with some pretty good beers. I went with the flight of four for $10, the Belgian Dubble & Power Play IPA were my favorites out of the four, the Sour Wheat, & Fiesta Island Pils were both pretty good as well. I like this location of this place, there's a long stretch of street parking near by & they're also a little less than a half mile aways from Modern Times brewery so you have some options if either place is too busy for your liking. The brewery is well spaced out as well, inside there's bar seating, some high tables along the wall with lots of standing room in the center. A few TVs to watch & some board games. Outside is fairly large with some picnic benches & corn hole boards. This place is another great addition to the San Diego brewery scene, I look forward to coming back next time I'm in town to check out their other beer options. read more

I attended Bread and Cheese's 1 year anniversary party over the weekend and it was held at this brewery. I really like the open space and the outdoor area with community seating in the back. They even have cornhole here! I decided to try their specialty beer Bread and ScorCheesy IPA during this event. I'm not sure if they will have it all the time or if it was just available at the event, but it paired nicely with the grilled cheese sandwiches I had. I'm glad that they offer two sizes of beer, so I opted for the smaller portion. It was the perfect size for me, but you can even order cute beer flights! If you're thinking of checking this spot out, they allow you to bring your pets or kids here, which is pretty cool. read more

Bay City Brewing, the first brewery were I tried a Hazy IPA a few months back. Yum! We like visiting with friends as they have a nice outdoor area with plenty of seating and space for kiddos to run around. There's plenty of parking on site and on the street. Definitely a brewery worth checking out! read more

This is a hidden gem of a Brewery Tasting Room in Downtown San Diego. The drinks are ice cold and delicious. Food is spectacular! Go for the Pizza and you will not be disappointed. They just began serving liquor, giving valuable option to those who don't like beer. Staff is always friendly and great with service! Nick and Keegan have always taken care of my tables and have yet to disappoint ! If you have a good time, buy them a drink! read more

I hosted a fundraiser on the outdoor patio here for my Young Democrats club. All the staff here were so nice and made my event planning very easy. The beers and seltzers on tap were really good too. I'm not an IPA guy and there were still a lot of options for me. I would recommend this as an event venue to anyone without any hesitation and hope I can plan something here again. read more

Met a woman for a second date here Friday evening. I loved the energy of the place, there was enough things going on it kept the conversation interesting and the best part is it wasn't overbearingly loud so we didn't have to scream to hear one another. I also love how dog friendly the place is. Nothing makes me happier than having a plethora of pups to pet. :) I ordered a 1/2 pint of the Stout, Knight Rider. I'm glad I went with the 1/2 b/c it was a strong drink. I enjoyed the flavor, I'll definitely have a few more. My date ordered the pizza, All I remember was no red sauce and something about olive oil. It was absolutely amazing. I usually take pictures and post them with my reviews, but being on a date, my phone stayed in my pocket. :) I definitely recommend this place!!! read more

If you're in the Midway area trying to hit up a few breweries, Bay City and Modern Times are walking distance from each other. The last time I was at Bay City, it was before a Gulls game. Located across the street from Valley View Casino Center, Bay City is the perfect place to grab a few beers with friends before any event you're going to at Valley View. Come early enough and you'll even get free street parking before an event! Put that parking money towards beer. My favorite beers of the night were the Power Play IPA, very well balanced, and the Grapefruit Radler, you could really taste the grapefruit. I would skip the Wired Device. If you're into stouts or coffee, definitely go for their Coffee IPA. I remember it being pretty enjoyable. Best part of the night was the service. It was such a nice change coming to Bay City on a non-game night, where the employees had more time to talk to you about your favorite types of beers, make recommendations, provide you with great service. Actually the service on game night was very impressive as well, just not as personable. read more

I got lucky and was given an invite to a free beer party. Obviously that is not what it was called but it is one of the main reason I showed up! I tried out a lovely IPA that did the job and was full of flavor. The staff are really nice which is awesome. They greeted me as I came and left, and they were quick to make sure I had a beer. Which we all know is sorta the point. They also have a large selection so there should be a beer here for almost anyone. If not, they also have a cute doggie who will come over and give you a dog smile. I swear it will! In all it was a good time, and while the location is a bit seedy, so are many of the thoughts you think in a day. So don't you judge! ;) read more

Worst experience ever. Bought a $25 hat and it was stolen during our time there. When brought to management attention they did nothing to resolve. Do not buy merchandise or go to the facility it's a waste and workers are idiots. read more

Jucci Gang is a really solid hazy. Good place to go before a Seals/Gulls game. Easy walk back to the stadium, but park in the lot.

Some good beer options, nice staff, good atmosphere with games to be played! Loved the back game room when cold and outdoor space when 72 and hoppy read more

This place was ok. Stopped by on a Sunday at 4. There were a few other people in the join watching the chargers game which they had on their single tv. Which is ok. I don't expect tvs is breweries anyways. The bartender was nice. They were doing flights and whatnot. They have a big clear brewing area which was very tidy. As well as an outdoor patio which faces the 8. Which I don't love. Ver spacious though. We ordered a few cold brews on nitro. They were interesting. I liked it but my friends weren't huge fans. We also ordered a round of session IPAs. I thought they were very mediocre. If I return again by chance I'll have to give some of their other beers a try. I'm not going to give them a crappy rating just cuz i only tried one beer. But based on decor, service, and overall coolness and the standard in the industry I'm giving it 3. read more

I have tried a few different breweries in the last month or so to help support local businesses and must say this has been my favorite. Tried the Peninsula Lager and the 72 and Hoppy, both were delicious. I especially love the hint of citrus in the 72 and Hoppy IPA. Ordering online was a breeze and the no contact pickup was just a smooth. You just drive up to their outside tent to pickup your order. Will be back again. read more

Stopped in because it was between my hotel and the job. In an area of car repair and other auto supplier of used parts. The parking is not optimum until after 5:00 PM as per the guy pouring. No spots in the lot until the businesses close and even street parking is not likely near the place until the 5:00 bewitching hour. Only tried the stout but it was good. Ample room for tastings if you can park! K d off the beaten path but worth a look see. read more

This place is awesome! My coworkers and I came here before the Gull's game and grabbed a few drinks! I got the grapefruit beer thing and it was sooooo good! I wish I could remember the actual name! This place filled up very quickly for a Friday night and we literally came at the perfect time. The place is very spacious and has a back portion with two taps and a front portion with many beer selections. They also have a outside back area with a decent amount of seating. My only complaint is that some people were standing in line for beer while others just came up to the counter so I'm not entirely sure how it works out. It gets a little crowded in there and there was a line out the door to get in as we left. Overall this place was great, staff was kind and friendly, atmosphere is fun, and great beers on tap! read more

First off, we loved our bartender. She was awesome and we loved her! She was cool, informative, funny and extremely hospitable. Cheers to her in making our first visit memorable. We tried a few flights to get a good feel of the beers here. Most of them were really good to our surprise. Usually at breweries there are a few favorites and some which are okay. Here were some of our favorite pours: Pog Radler, Sour Wheat, Peel Better, Vienna Lager and the Sour Brown. Bay City is officially at the top of our list for fav San Diego Breweries. read more

I have to start by saying I have never been here before but that will be changing after stay at home orders are lifted! Bay City truly knows how to win the heart of an emergency department nurse! A few weeks ago after clocking out from a long night shift each staff member took home a six pack donated from Bay City! So much generosity and kindness is shown by this donation from a local business to a local hospital. Not only did I appreciate the gesture, the beer was damn good! Stay safe San Diego, we are all in this together read more

Bay City Brewing - Beer board at Bay City today - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

We stopped by before a concert for a quick flight of beers. We tried a few different IPA's, two of which were hazy, and a pale ale. I was impressed by how good they all were. Even though the brewery is located right off the highway and it's very noisy, they have a nice patio with comfortable lounge chairs and they try to drown out the traffic with cool California jams. There is a ton of parking right outside the brewery, which is an anomaly when it comes to San Diego. When we were done with our flight, we walked out to a car that wouldn't start. Ryan, the bartender, offered to jump our car. He broke out the jumper cables and our car was ready to go. Thank you Ryan!! You saved our night!! read more

Wasn't planning on checking this place out but we were in the area and had some time to kill so we were like, why not? There was just a few people when we came in on a Thursday. They have a small parking lot out front but there's also plenty of street parking if there's no spots available. Bay City is pretty big, they have a lot of open space plus there's an outdoor area with lawn chairs and cornhole! Seems like a nice setup for a sunny day. I don't remember seeing any heaters, which would be nice to have especially since it's now December and the nights are chillllyyy. But then again, maybe they do have some n I just didn't see! Their tap list isn't large, but I assure you the brews are great. They offer flights of 4 for $10, which my bf and I shared. A female bartender was helping us out (I didn't get her name but I wish I did!) and made us a few recommendations. We went with the sour wheat, sour brown (which she described as having a balsamic vinaigrette taste), Martin scorhazy, and wired device. That last one is a nitro made with Bird Rock coffee so for all you Bird Rock fans out there, try wired device!! Another brew with coffee was the Coffee Pale Ale and I must say, this one was the highlight of our visit. I could probably drink this one every morning instead of a regular cup of coffee. I was expecting the sour wheat to be very sour since the bartender said it was like a lemon warhead, but it wasn't too sour to me. They have some board games and a few decks of cards at the bar that you can use. As we were leaving, we were also told that we could bring dogs next time since they're dog friendly!! read more
