    BLAH is anything but "blah" They always have a killer beer menu and then toss in some amazing artisan pizza, friendly staff and chill vibes and you, my friend, are in for a good time. Far and away one of my favorite drinkeries and I always take advantage of the opportunity to visit. BLAH never misses.

    One the best beer bars in SD. They have a rotating tap list -- make sure that you're subscribed to their social media or email newsletter to get the latest updates on their taps. Whether you like pils, lagers, IPAs, stouts or seltzer, they have it. Parking might be hard in the evening but if you're persistent, you've earned a freaking good beer! The fries and pizza are also bomb. Place your orders at the counter when you get in, the friendly bartenders will get your orders, sit yourself down and be ready to have the best beers of the week

    BOMB BOMB BOMB. AMAZING BEERS X PIZZA. I would describe their pizza as New Haven style. Blind Lady is also one of the best places to get craft beer around San Diego. They have all legit beers on draft and it's on happy hour before 6pm. They are only $6 draft pints! I like to keep it OG and get the margherita pizza, I think this is the best way to judge a pizza. If you like anchovies, the caesar is amazing! BTW if you dont know that a traditional caesar salad has anchovies...now you know. This is a counter service restaurant, that one line is for beer and the other is for pizza/food. The location have communal tables and smaller 4 tops, it's an order first and food to be delivered to your number style service. Highly recommending this place, come here and love their pizza and drink their beers!

    Fries and beer cheese

    I've been a patron of BLAH for many years and it helped me get into craft beers. It brings me joy that it has stuck around especially after the pandemic. This is a great spot to meet friends, enjoy a wide selection of craft beers and pizzas. All the beertenders I've encountered here were very friendly and appeared they liked their job, which contributes to the lively atmosphere especially on crowded weekend nights. On this visit, I had the best beer smoothie I've ever had, with notes of coconut and other tropical flavors. They also had a few sours which I also enjoy as well as Oktoberfest beers. Probably my only complaint would be that the beer menu's print size is too small, or maybe just my eyes are bad. That and the parking. Second to the beer, the food here is good. Mostly a selection of appetizers and pizzas and they also have good vegan and vegetarian options. It was actually my first time trying the fries with beer cheese, and that cheese is delicious! I also ordered my usual 3 meat pizza and it did not disappoint.

    Blind Lady is one of the few bars in San Diego that has the pliney the younger hookup, so I had to check them out. It was quite busy the two times I went but it was also when they had pliney on tap so it may have been busier than usual. That didn't stop the efficient lines to order your food and drinks, it just meant that table seating was sparse. We enjoyed a delicious pizza with our beers -- I like the variety between traditional and unique pizzas they have.

    Pepperoni pizza and caesar salad
    Bridget B.

    One of my local friends took me to this spot, claiming it was her favorite pizza in the area. I could totally see why! The pizza is thin crust and the sauce/cheese is really good. The caesar salad was also unexpectedly delicious with extra dressing (love), lots of parm, and fresh romaine. The combo of both was so refreshing during this weird winter heat wave. Also loved the local feel of the restaurant. There's a ton of beers to try as well.

    We are staying in the neighborhood and walked here for dinner - such a great time! We love a place with low lighting and dark wood. Everyone working was incredibly friendly. Frites and accompanying dips were FABULOUS. Pizza was just right. Beer was great. If our trip was longer, we'd be back.

    Spicy Salami
    Delia M.

    Easily my favorite beer and pizza spot in SD. I highly recommend the spicy salami pizza. It's a great place to hang out with buds, listen to live music, or catch a vinyl set. The staff is so amicable and are always kind and happy to see you. 10/10

    A little after 6pm on a Monday, coworkers and I found ourselves at this establishment. Interesting decor around the whole establishment - I was at first trying to figure out whether there was a real theme but figured its just a spot to chill, relax and have a couple drinks and/or food. Plenty of patrons and seating at this time, we were able to be served right away. We ordered 2 pizzas and fries along with various brews on available at the time. Service at the bar was quick and great, food came out quickly and was good. Can't complain!

    If you're looking for some good beers and food, try visiting this place. They got a lot of beer selections that seemed good (at least the ones that I've gotten) and the food looked good too. I've only got their drinks but their food looked really good so that would be something I do want to try the next time I come here. The inside can get pretty loud with some loud music (and seemed like there is a DJ who plays sometimes too) and there are lots of people inside so another reason why it would be loud. It can be pretty packed so finding seats can be a bit challenging especially if you have a large group. You would order at the counter for your food and drinks. You get your drinks right at the counter, which is nice so you don't need to wait for your server. So if you want to try some good beers and have some loud ambiance, give this place a try!

    3 Meat Pizza
    Maggie Z.

    Great choices of IPAs and their pizza is to die for! Probably one of the best pizzas I've tried in San Diego! I would say, not a big fan of the ranch but definitely a 9/10 for food and beer!

    Very lively inside and delicious pizza! Their service is always very quick and the vibes are very vibrant and fun inside.

    Love it here!! Fun vibe, nicest people! We go often, and it's a place people definitely need to go try. The pizza is so good, so many options to try new things. I like to try a different one each time! Also a great beer selection!!

    Is there air conditioning?

    Yes!

    Do they have take outs or is it dine in only?

    We take phone orders when we aren’t too slammed with dine in, but our focus is always on the guests in house. Thanks.

    Is this a kid friendly place?

    Is there space for a group of 10 to all sit together?

    Yes. It can get cozy crowded during peak hours, but there are long tables that can easily accommodate a 10-group. Cheers!

    Is this establishment dog friendly?

    I've been coming here since they opened and never seen a dog.. best to leave your furry ones at home!

    When do they stop serving food?

    Normally around 10pm.

    Do they have gluten-free pizza and gluten-reduced beer?

    They sadly don't have gluten free pizzas they might be gluten reduced, but it's not listed on the menu.…

Paper menus used to be available, however like many eateries, they have moved to a QR code provided at each table to scan and view the online version. Breakfast fare was served until 2 pm. What caught my attention was the Shrimp and Cheddar Grits ($17). The dish consisted of two eggs any style, chili-rub shrimp, diced bacon, and tomato in a bed of cheddar laced grits. I asked for the eggs to be scrambled. The bowl came with a decent serving of the above contents. I liked the addition of the bacon and tomato that gave a salty and acidic flavor profile, respectively. The disappointment was only three medium sized shrimp were included. I had expected double that number because shrimp was the first word in the name of the item so it should have been featured more. The service from the waitress was pleasant. I gave a 3.5 rating for this visit to Working Class.

You could tell great care was taken in the creation of this pretzel and so yummy with the cheese. They also offer signature pretzel pizzas, pretzel sandwiches and other pub grub. Service was helpful and the restaurant is very clean. Happy Hour is offered daily M-F 3:00 - 6:00pm. Great place to watch a game too as lots of big screens.

The other side displayed the Sunday brunch menu offerings. I selected the Vegan Crab Cakes and the Chicken Karaage from the happy hour choices. Two panko-crusted cakes were served with a furikake aioli and a lemon wedge. They were smaller than a hockey puck and didn't have a crunchy exterior. The karaage was made up of several fried chicken pieces served on a bed of haystack potato with an umami drizzle. It was one of the most unusual and skimpy presentations of karaage that I have seen. The fried potato sticks were more of a distraction than a complement to the chicken. The service from the bartender was good.

ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An open layout https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=FRumK_MW4Qyy7Dvrh2BcHw with the bar/order counter along one wall, many communal benches and tall tables inside and on the sidewalk patio, stools at the bar, brewing tanks in the background, and an interesting tractor https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=mOeDNVgE68ZDUrvuIS_c2w on display. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the large front windows and doors while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several TVs throughout while I couldn't recall any background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We enjoyed The Original 40 Brewing Co. and would plan another visit to try more of the over 20 beers on tap. The two beers I had were good but didn't stand out while the food was wonderful, the prices were a tad high, and the service was straightforward. Furry family members were allowed! I believed they had happy hour specials and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more was available. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $55.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    How have I lived here my whole life and only just now popped into Bottlecraft? We came on a Friday…read morewhen they were doing tastings from a Sonoma winery (wish I remembered the name!). The guy pouring was so nice and knowledgeable. We liked the wine so much we grabbed a bottle and decided to drink it there. Added bonus: since it was one of the featured wines, the corkage was free. Bottlecraft is a bottle shop, bar, and cheese shop all in one small, perfectly curated space. They have a lovely outdoor seating area and some indoor seating as well. There are TVs inside, so we were able to catch some exciting March Madness moments while we hung out. When we paid, the host was super friendly and brought us a little ice bucket to keep our chilled wine cold, along with two glasses, and let us choose any table we wanted. They have a wide selection of beers on tap, plus tons of bottles and cans to go. I also appreciate the large section of canned mocktails and NA beers -- love seeing that. They carry wine, beer, vermouth, and more. In the back, tucked away, is Venissimo Cheese, which is amazing. You can order cheese plates, sandwiches, and other goodies to enjoy with your drinks. Definitely check out their website for upcoming events and their current tap list. Such a fun, easy, local spot -- I'll be back.

    I've never been a big beer fan as I only really like sours and good ones are not easy to find…read more However, this place has a pretty fun collection of sour beers to try! It's especially nice that they have beers from a lot of small business breweries. My guy and I got a bunch of different beers to try and they've been a hit or miss overall. I haven't tried the cheese shop yet that they have inside, but it's a great concept and on my list to try!
