    A limited amount but good choices of beer on tap including cider. A variety of seating options including a nice patio which is perfect for the golden hour. Would love to come back and spend more time when the food truck is there.

    After living near this establishment a year now, we finally got a chance to check it out in past weeks & earlier tonight with friends. It's a popular hangout spot with the locals, including our little Stoneridge 55+ folks. My husband loves the beers while I love the can cocktail drinks - they'll fix it up in a glass with ice and salted glass rim. I love that they support the local San Diego craft beers and craft cocktail drinks. They also have a variety of catered food from local vendors and participate with local events including artists, music venues, Swapmeets, car shows etc. And the surrounding views are to die for. Check it out if you're ever in the area!

    A surprise in the middle of back country ranches and farms. They are a micro brewery. Many good beers. Music. Usually tacos and salsa available. And the trip to and from is scenic! Check it out!

    Beer was awesome and the music and tacos were great! Will definitely stop by again. The staff were extremely friendly!

    A quaint brewery with "local" (San Diego) beers.The beer was chilled which on this day where the weather hit mid 90s, was refreshing. The bartender was friendly, and made us feel welcome. There's plenty of seating throughout the brewery, but only a select few inside. Be mindful of the space when coming during the middle of the day, cause it's dry weather. They do have a covered awning with fans. Outside they have a food service that rotates cuisines. A hidden gem to say the least.

    We stopped by here on our way to Temecula. This place is so awesome. Service is top notch and the beer is great as there are many to select from. There's a food truck that has plenty of good eats to choose from. The ambiance is pleasant and definitely worth the trip to visit.

    This place is a great road stop destination. Like you plan your trip to end up here. It's just such a unique little bar. They really did the ambiance up cool. Just a cool vibe. Out in the middle of nowhere. Great vistas. Great meet up place. I missed food truck but found it a nice watering hole for the loop.

    That cool place when you fancy cold beer and street style food break during your road trip in our beautiful SoCal! We liked this spot quite a bit. It's located in the middle of nowhere. It was a nice surprise to see it on the side of the road without having any early notification that the bar was there. The inside has cool and nice vibe. It's clean and organised. You can sit inside or outside. They offer few different kinds of beer. The list is short but they have lager, IPA, and ale. I am ale beer drinker and really enjoyed my red ale. My partner's lager was good too. Both had character and were refreshing and east to drink beers. There was small food place attached to the bar. They served freshly made Mexican food. We tried quesadilla and torta. Both were good. Even though the cook served fried chicken with sandwich, she refused to replace beef with chicken in the torta I ordered. It was weird that my request couldn't be fulfilled. Oh well, and this is the only reason for four stars. Definitely stop by here and have a beer or two.

    Small place in the middle of no where, making it a good ride spot. It was a converted garage. Has a few beers on tap. A bunch in a fridge. Couple sodas and seltzers. Two video games. They have a food tent set up with really good food, but it was rather on the costly side. It was $16 for a quesadilla. The staff there were all friendly.

    Every time we drop by, Omar has created some new cool feature. So don't drive by without stopping in. You'll miss out on a relaxing fun cool experience. Omar and staff are doing the roadside experience the way it was way way back in the 40's 50's. They have several great beer on tap, but it all started as a bottle shop; Beers of all grades from unique breweries. Wine and hard ciders. Cool sound tracks from a vintage 33 rpm player and a full sound track player. On slow days Omar is cranking out fresh sandwiches. On weekends you can find stone oven pizza, amazing tacos or even BBQ! And on their anniversary March 26 there is always an amazing air cooled auto show with VW, Porsche ETC! Like I said, make the trip out from Temecula wine country. 30 minutes out on 79S. Excellent patio views of the Cleveland National Forest.

    We visited here for the first time last week and had a GREAT time! The owner, Omar, is very welcoming and it's obvious that he wants all of his patrons to enjoy themselves. The decor is funky cool, perfect for that space. He made sure that we got exactly the beers that we liked best. The vibe was very friendly and relaxed, we had conversations with several of the other customers. The food is brought in by different companies, when we we're there, we we're lucky enough to have the birria tacos, chips and salsa. Not only was it excellent, it was reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

    I absolutely adore how welcoming, kind, friendly and laid back this place is. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical about pulling over here but once you walk inside all love. They have arcade games! Totally a place that pulls at the nostalgia heartstrings. I love the feel of community that Garage 79 gives off. I think I've found my little secret hide out on the way to Anza.

    Great guys !

    Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Hidden gem alert! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you would never guess such a sexy, sophisticated spot is sitting right in the middle of it all. From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

    What a great find. The wine server at nearby Pamec Patio Wine Bar recommended this spot, mentioning…read moreit was a favorite among the team and managers, and I'm so glad we took the suggestion. Tucked away off the main road, this place feels quiet, intimate, and incredibly charming, with dark walls, candlelight, and wine bottles lining the walls. We arrived at an off hour around 5 PM, so it was especially peaceful. The menu is simple and straightforward, with a generously curated wine list to match. We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Crab Dip with a delicious house baguette ($19) and the Pepperoni Focaccia Slab ($17), and everything was fantastic. The ambiance, the food, the wine--it all came together perfectly. The gray sky at sunset somehow made the whole experience feel even more atmospheric and intimate. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and happy to talk about the surrounding area. I will absolutely make a point to stop by again if I am ever back in Temecula.

Wine bar doesn't open till 5 which was when happy hour started. For the first hour, they had wine, well drinks and draft beer. A few small plates also offered. It's a wine and tapas bar. It's along El Paseo before you hit the main shopping area, depending on which way you come. Entrance has a nice wall created by ficus trees and mister spraying to keep you cool. There's a decent patio with a good amount of seating. Inside is where the party is. The place is set with two seating area. Right when you walk in is the bar. A good amount of hi top seating and tables. Hi top seating that are along the window were actually very uncomfortable. Padded seats were so narrow that seating was so uncomfortable but oh well. There's the other room seating area which houses all the wine on shelves. I believe it's also a wine store but that sectioned was closed for a private event. We just wanted a drink before dinner so no food was had. From the looks of the dishes that were coming out, they looked really nice. Tapas style dishes made for sharing. With happy hour, there was a couple dishes that was included. Also they offered a deal with a charcuterie board and a bottle included. We just went with a glass of their house red and white. And an order of spicy margaritas. It's a full bar so that was nice. Margaritas were great and house wine was decent. The service was great with the bartender who was a doll and very sweet. Made drinks and still had time to come check out on people. It was still early but it did pick up for happy hour which is from 5-6 right when they open. The place was quite nice and well decorated. Beautiful wine bar that's great for mingling with friends over food drinks and tapas. Will definitely be back for some food.

It's part of a little strip mall with a few other business. The parking situation was a little confusing as we didn't know if you were allowed to park at any of the spots. Some were reserved while some didn't have anything assigned to them. Afterwards we did find out that you were allowed to park there. Street parking is also available if needed. The place is quite nice and literally down the street from the main downtown strip. Also around the corner for the casino. There's a massive patio seating but with the summer heat, no one was outside .Right when you walk in, there's a cute seating area before heading straight to the bar. Main bar as you walk in as well as second bar towards the back area. It's a full bar so whatever you like, it could be made. As we were here for an event, a meet and greet with everyone was perfect for this place. Drinks were rolling and people enjoying getting to know each other. A nice concept to make new friends in the area. Besides wine and cocktails, there's beer as well as food. I didn't get a chance to check the menu but food was supplied at the event. Flatbread were brought out as well as hummus and crudités. Let me say, the selections of flatbread that was served was great. So many different selections and flavors to go around. They were quite nice. The indoor area is an open concept with loads of tables and comfy couches places throughout like seating areas. We also found out that certain nights they offer karaoke. Plus happy hours happens nightly. The crowd for the event was great but being able to check out new places that Palm Springs has to offer was great. It's a place thats perfect for mingling with friends, popping in for a drink or just lounging with a nice glass of wine. Grab some food if you want as they have a good selection on the menu. When the weather allows it, it's perfect for an evening on the patio. This place is now a must for us as it was great. A fun place for a nice glass of wine or cocktails. Glad we finally tried it out. Also, the staff were all amazing and the sweetest. Highly recommend.

    BIERGARDEN @ ENCINITAS…read more Parking can be a little difficult since this spot is located right on the main strip in Encinitas. There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.
