    The Fishbowl of Youth
    Lauren S.

    Quintessential California, enjoying a post work happy hour on the back patio on a beautiful day with ocean views. Staff was helping offering sampling to ensure what you pick is perfect for your palette. We did the leap and got the big kahuna Fishbowl of Youth. It is herbal while being warmth and the right amount of fun to a summer day. Keep in mind there is a deposits for this goblet beauty. As long as you return, you shouldn't have any issues. Easily shareable with two or one if you enjoy for hours. Looking forward to trying the lemonade seltzer and sours next time

    My new favorite Green Cheek location with a rooftop and seamless service both upstairs and downstairs. I'm a consistent fan of their Hazys. There's a small view of the ocean as well and several options to sit under the shade.

    Beers - excellent choices and very mouth wateringly delious and quenching. Food- just had their fries, but well executed and hard to stop until they are all gone. Good crunch covered by hot, melted gooey cheese topped with grilled onions. Clean restroom Customer service - genuinely friendly and helpful. Parking - limited small private lot, but decent public parking right behind the place. Vibe- mellow and easy going

    Drink Selection other than beer  they added Diet Coke!!! Yay!!!!

    Met up with a good friend of mine, who recommend Green Cheek in Sunset Beach. It's rare to see their beers on tap in NoCal, so I was excited to partake while visiting SoCal. I arrived earlier than expected and parking was a nightmare. Always is in the beach communities, but parked about 4 blocks away with an easy walk to the establishment. There was no parking available in their small lot but the drive through window to pick up beer was a neat idea. I was fortunate to find a table downstairs at the back the tap room near the stairs and decided to start with Flying South, a 5% Mexican-Style lager. Really enjoyable, simple on the nose and palate. Followed this up with Good For Morale, which was my favorite beer of the day. Still on a Czech Pils kick after returning from Prague and this offering quite rich and full with a mild sweetness. I finished the day with an order with Lots of Fries and a Classic Double Smashburger and 8 year Vol. 1, a Wesdt Coast Pils. Layered with a plethora of hops, this was a very fruity pils with very good aromatics. All in all this was a great family friend establishment to visit. It was crowded on the Sunday we were there, but there was always a place to sit, either downstairs inside, or upstairs, outside. The staff was friendly and helping and the taproom very inviting. Great beer and food, would recommend this place if you are in HB!

    I came here after a day of walking the beach. The employees are friendly here. Love the upstairs patio with a beach view. The drinks and food are delicious. I will recommend coming here

    Cool spot with great food and an even better atmosphere. Parking can be a bit challenging, even though there's a small lot, it fills up quickly. The upstairs patio is definitely the highlight: yellow umbrellas, a relaxed vibe, and views over the residential side, with little glimpses of the ocean between the houses. It's a unique setup, especially considering one side of the restaurant faces a busy street while the patio feels calm and tucked away. The menu is small and well curated, which makes ordering easy. We tried both smashburgers and the ahi tuna--everything was delicious. Service was friendly and on point. A great place to enjoy good food in a laid-back but thoughtfully designed setting.

    The porter that was recommended to me was the best glass of beer that I have ever had. I wish I knew the name. The vibe was festive and relaxing, and there were plenty of laid-back dogs lounging next to their buzzed humans. I had higher hopes for their food, after reading the hyped reviews of many fellow yelpers. But when I tried my smash burger, I was overwhelmed. The bun was relatively small, and there was just two patties and American cheese in the sandwich. I thought lettuce and tomato ought to be the standard ingredients for a $15 burger, but it was not to be. My wife enjoyed her chicken sandwich and salad, and we both feasted on their tater tots. Come for the beer, good company, and ocean breeze. Food should not be your priority. Parking was a nightmare, but that was to be expected along the beach.

    Not a very memorable location. If it wasn't near the beach, I don't think this place would be worth visiting. The beer selection was fine, but the air was warm, so the glass of the cups and pitcher was warm. So that made the beer warm pretty fast. The food is what you'd expect from a bar/brewery, so it's on the saltier side with nothing to make it stand out.

    I've been a Green Cheek fan for years, but this beachside spot is my favorite. I bike 10 miles each way just to earn my smash burger and lavender lemonade pitcher. Worth. Every. Mile. Parking is a mess--cars and bikes alike--so skip the drama and pedal in like a legend. The food here is way above typical brewery fare. Smash burgers = elite. Blackened fish tacos = fire. The plant-based chorizo supreme? Honestly better than Taco Bell. And don't sleep on the pork belly tots--crispy, fatty perfection. Drinks are well-priced for the location, with multiple glass sizes depending on your thirst level. I'm obsessed with the lavender lemonade and sometimes just commit to a whole pitcher like the classy beach bum I am. Service is fast for drinks, food takes a bit longer, but grab a seat upstairs and soak in those SoCal vibes. Beer, sun, ocean breeze--what more do you need? Come for the brews, stay for the tater tots, and bike home to feel less guilty about it all.

    Chicken sandwich

    The smash burger never fails here. My friend got the chicken sandwich and said it was good, but spicy. The tater tots for some reason were all stuck together. The wings and ranch are very good here.

    Lavender Lemonade & Pierre's Paloma Hard Seltzers - both are delicious
    Jessica R.

    I've been here twice now, and I have to say, Green Cheek Beer Co. is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! The first time I came, a friend introduced me to their Lavender Lemonade Hard Seltzer, and I've been craving it ever since. It's the perfect balance of refreshing and subtly sweet - just an absolute delight. On my second visit, I was so excited to grab my Lavender Lemonade seltzer again, but the cashier also recommended I try the Pierre's Palmona Hard Seltzer. He gave me a sample, and wow! It was just as delicious! I'm definitely coming back for more of that one too! I love that they offer their seltzers and beers in 4-packs, so you can take your favorites home with you. And the food--let me just say, my friend ordered the lemon pepper wings, and he couldn't stop raving about them. They were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Definitely worth trying! The location is amazing too - right between the harbour and the beach, so it's the perfect spot to enjoy a drink after a day by the water. If you're in the area, this place is an absolute must-visit. Great vibes, great drinks, great food and great service - what more could you want? Can't wait to go back!

    A neighbor of mine told me about this place and the good food that comes out of their kitchen. They dont have a big parking lot, so sometimes you have to park out on PCH. They do have a decent patio on the second floor, and either inside or outside, its very dog friendly. The burger was awesome and the fries were good too. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich and told me it was bomb. The beer choices are great and the pilsner i had was smooth and crisp. I told a friend of mine that they had a Tetris arcade there and hes excited to come put his name all over it. They have a drive thru for food and beer so i found that to be a cool feature if you live in surfside or close to it.

My only complaint is parking, but I'm lucky enough to have gotten a slot just before giving up. Fantastical Funghi: It's one of those rare moments where you get a pizza that maintains its quality from the first bite to the drive home and the reheating process. My main complaint when eating truffle or heavy mushroom-related food is that the truffle essence rarely lasts longer than the first 2-3 bites. Such a concern is not an issue for this pizza, as I've had this pizza more than once, and the taste generally stays the same regardless of how you eat it. My favorite is the ricotta cheese, you could really feel the difference that it makes every time you get a bite with it. Kokomocha: You love mocha, but you can't find a Porter/Stout that suits your taste. Look no further. I would say the taste ratio is 30% alcohol and 70% mocha. Enough alcohol to know that it will hit down the line, but more than enough mocha to enjoy it as its own. Ambiance: Beautiful. I would love to have lunch here on the weekend. The bar is a good vibe, and the restaurant itself is generally inviting. Warning about the parking, as it's hard to find parking. Service: Good. The staff are nice, and things arrive within a reasonable time.

My kids immediately want to play on the outdoor climbing structure, so while my husband took them to play I checked in. Our tables were ready. We were given 2 long tables that were back to back. I probably would've preferred they be together but no biggie. I LOVE that Golden Road will do individual checks for however many people in your group! Makes it so easy to meet up with other people! Thank you!!! I was disappointed in the brunch menu. There were only 2 choices, a breakfast bagel sandwich or chilaquiles and no kids breakfast. My husband and I split the breakfast bagel sandwich and it was amazing and huge! It also came with a side of tater tots. The regular menu is available to our kids split the sliders. Mimosas come prepared, meaning you don't get to poor your own OJ into your champagne, they do it for you, so it's more on the OJ side. No Bloody Marys. We brought balloons in, no problem and they kept our cake in the refrigerator. Our server kindly placed the candles and lit them for us. We had a small view of the harbor, our server was attentive and overall we had a great brunch and would return, but probably for lunch or afternoon, not brunch unless they expand their menu.
