    A typical brewery with an outdoor style restaurant. Wished they actually closed off the restaurant to the outdoors as there were some flies and AC would have been nice. But overall good experience. Love that they sell merch even for dogs. Tried a bunch of their beers that I enjoyed. Food was decent, but not the most memorable. I guess what you might expect from a brewery. Great service even though my family just did a walk in for a late night dinner. Again, just wish the restaurant was actually closed off, especially during summer. Im sure during the cooler months, it will feel great to have the fresh air. But overall, will certainly be back. Mainly for the beers

    Food was good and plenty of it. Wide variety of beer in tap and drink selection. Portions were good sized. The pretzel was delicious with tons of dipping sauce provided. My grilled fish tacos were very tasty and flavorful. The pizza was great. We didn't feel rushed and we were very well taken care of and checked on by our server. She was fast at refills and very friendly. Overall a great experience while visiting Coronado Island.

    Great place for a drink and bite to eat. Great atmosphere. After a long day of walking around and seeing the sights we stopped in for a beer and appetizer. The bartender was super friendly and nice. She made everything awesome for us. Have us samples and attended to our refills! Thank you.

    Coronado Brewing Company is a MUST on your list of places to visit if you find yourself on Coronado Island. The location is walking distance from the Naval Air Station and if you decide to drive there is a lot of free parking in the streets behind it. I always try to make a stop in while I visit and their beer never disappoints! The bar staff is extremely friendly and they make a lot of great suggestions. I normally just come for their beer but the food looks great too! They sell merchandise and enjoying a pint at their bar never disappoints!

    Ambiance was very inviting. They have television screens throughout the. Loved the open aired seating. The bathrooms were very clean. Food was great. Their service was on point. I liked that their prices were reasonable.

    Burger split; dry and no sauce no mayo no nothing!  What a gip!  This cost $20 dollars.  Unbelievable.  Go somewhere else.

    I am completely appalled at the take out on arrival. The pictures speak for themselves. I ordered a bbq burger, cheese on the side, with coleslaw as a side. On arrival, opened container and what do you know? No side; bbq burger tiny! This is not a $20 dollar meal! I am disgusted at this epic failure. Never again.

    Went here on a Saturday afternoon. Parking is tough, we got lucky to find parking in the back. The food is good for it being a brewpub. The service was good as well. The brewpub and the gift shop was quaint. Overall I would definitely come back the beer was definitely really good.

    One of my longtime buddies invited me to join him and several of our other lifelong friends to eat dinner, hang out, and watch our Padres at Coronado Brewing Company, which he had been wanting to check out. This was my first time dining at Coronado Brewing and besides having a blast with my buddies, my son and nephew joined us for blessed quality family time. My buddies are into breweries and drinking flights of the breweries' craft beer, so I know why my best friend of more than 5 decades chose this restaurant. I enjoyed my first time here because of the yummy food, having an excuse to visit Coronado, and our young Asian waitress Drea provided friendly and outstanding customer service. Coronado Brewing is located in beautiful, coastal Coronado, CA. It can be found on the far north end of Orange Avenue. The easiest way to get there would be to take the Coronado Bay Bridge or you can drive the Silver Strand. The restaurant is a short walk from Nicky Rottens, several steps from Saiko Sushi, it's just down from Coronado Hardware and Fire Station Venue, it's across from the Coronado Southern Baptist Church, and it's directly across from a market. Parking could be challenging because it's street parking, but Coronado is a safe neighborhood, so a short walk shouldn't be a problem. It's a popular eatery, which means you might have to wait to be seated. As you enter Coronado Brewing, you'll see how spacious it is with booth seating, bartop seating, and tabletop seating. There are framed pics of florals, booths decorated with coastal fauna, decorative lighting, ceiling fans, and a brick fire pit. I didn't think there were enough televisions to cheer on our Padres. Our waitress Drea was stellar, she had a vibrant personality, and she provided notable customer service. Unlike my buddies, I couldn't tell you the difference between craft beer or store bought beer, but my pals are craft beer aficionados. I can tell that my buddies really enjoyed the flights of craft beer they ordered from Coronado Brewing. If you're like my buddies, then I recommend you try out this restaurant. I joined my friends to catch up with them, support our Padres, bond with my family, and to try Coronado Brewing's food. Looking at their menu, pricing is reasonable and they serve the following: Pub Favorites, Tacos, Burgers & Sandwiches, Salads, Wood-Fired Pizzas, Main Courses, and Desserts. I had eaten a filling lunch, so I wasn't too hungry, but I did share a Nachos Borrachos, Fish & Chips, Meat Lover's Pizza, MooTime Ice Cream Cake, and a Brownie Sundae. The nachos borrachos were satisfying with its carnitas pulled pork over fresh tortilla chips, finger licking delish with its jalapeño beer-cheese, and just a tasty starter. I shared the fish and chips with my son, which had a tasty batter and I enjoyed the accompanying garlic fries. The meat lover's pizza had a good amount of protein, but I thought the crust could have been more firm. The ice cream cake and brownie sundae are must orders because they were decadent, there was an abundant amount of chocolate, and they were rich in flavor. I had a blessed time experiencing Coronado Brewing Company for the first time with some of my closest friends and my family. I really enjoyed what I ate, but I definitely need to experience their other entrees the next time we visit.

    Pesto Chicken Pizza was delicious!

    Stopped by late Saturday afternoon with a party of six. There was about a 25-30 minute wait, which wasn't bad for the weekend. Once inside, the space is large and open with plenty of seating. Our server, David, was friendly, attentive, and did a great job keeping everything running smoothly. The food was very good and came out quickly after we ordered. The location is a big highlight--just steps from Coronado Beach and super close to the ferry, making it an easy and convenient spot to grab food and drinks. Overall, a great experience with good food, solid service, and an unbeatable location

    Wahoo fish tacos and beer flight !!

    This is one of my go-to spots when ever I'm in San Diego! The dos is always on point and the beer is always delicious! Don't be afraid to venture out and try new things here. You can't go wrong with anything here.

    My husband and I went on a Tuesday afternoon and sat on the patio outside with our dogs. We love visiting this casual brewery whenever we take a trip to San Diego. The drinks, food, and service is all top notch! Gavin was our waiter and was very friendly and personable. The restaurant is very clean. We ordered the crispy fish tacos and bbq pulled pork sandwich. The portion sizes are good. You can also purchase a six pack of beer to go.

    I already came here twice. First time, I got the fish and chips. Second time, I had their pub burger. The fish was just okay. It was dry and not fresh and tastes like something they probably get from their distributor. The fries had a seasoning mix I liked, but the texture was mediocre. On the other hand, I thought the burger was really good, so that's what I should've ordered the first time instead of listening to their 20% off recommendation. The bun was thick and hearty, with a very slightly crisp to it. The meat had great flavor, and the veggies were nice as well. Overall, somewhat better than the burger I had at Nicky Rottens. The vibes here were also better, and this is taking into account that I tend to like quiet places. Nicky Rottens is clearly losing business to this joint, so I should prefer the ambience there. But in addition to simply being quieter, something about the open seating and lighting makes it feel disconcerting rather than relaxing. Look at me reviewing a different restaurant in the review of one restaurant. Lol

    Gregg S.

    Whenever we vacation in San Diego, we always hit Coronado and the brewing company. We usually don't have any trouble parking and you can dine al fresco, but outdoor seating is limited! We managed to get there for happy hour, so the beers were good and cheap.

    26 years. Same table, great beer and always a wonderful dedicated staff. Cheers CBC.

With upstairs/downstairs seating, trivia on Thursday's, and being pup friendly, this place is a true gem. The food is affordable and delicious. Lots of vegetarian options for tacos, along with some sides like chips + guac. They have a great drink selection and one of my girlfriend's fave is some apricot bevvy that is just the perfect summer unwind drink! I have to give a special shoutout to Gavin for going above and beyond the last visit. I brought my dog and asked the gentleman at the front if they have unseasoned meat that I can give the pup. He said they had unseasoned chicken so I got a side. We went upstairs for seating and shortly after got our food. The chicken however, was definitely seasoned. Definitely not giving that to a dog. We checked back with the server upstairs (which was Gavin) who immediately told us that yes, it's definitely seasoned. Since I ordered food, I decided to try and finish my avocado taco (delish!), before going downstairs to sort things. In this time Gavin had gone out of his way to get some unseasoned carne asada and brought a healthy portion of it, remembered our table and brought it to us. My girlfriend spoke to him, I hadn't so for him to not only find us upstairs (no number) but he corrected the confusion/mistake. Needless to say, my dog was also very pleased! The vibes are casual. Staff here is always supportive and sweet. Total beach vibes, and honestly great at any time. Also highly recommend this place for people watching.

It is a touristy restaurant, so seating can get tricky, but we managed to find spots on the patio. You order at the bar counter, receive a table number, and then they bring the food to you. Chips and Guac (3/5): Plenty of guac, but a little flavorless and could use more limes or salt. Mahi Tostada (3.5/5): Fresh raw cuts of mahi were minced on top of a crispy thin tostada, but again, a little plain and could be accompanied with a lime or a light green sauce. Crispy Shrimp Taco (4/5): A heavy shrimp taco! I wasn't expecting the shrimp to be wrapped in what looked like an egg roll wrap. It was very crunchy and juicy. Although again, needed some sauce for the taco as they did not provide us any. Fish and Chips (3.5/5): Not as crispy as I would have liked, and the tartar sauce had a lot of tangy dill flavor, which was a little much for me. The fries that came with it were truffle flavored, which was a unique twist! I thought the food was quite average, but they did have more unique options I have not seen before! Come for the views during sunset, but I'd keep the food limited here and probably enjoy the drinks more.
