    Shrimp tacos and amber beer
    Mary B.

    Quite the drive to arrive here, but worth it for good food, beer and music! I enjoyed 3 shrimp tacos and amber beer! One is out in the middle of the desert with dates trees. It's 85 degrees and a nice breeze as I sit in the shade. A relaxing stop! Order food, receive a buzzer, and pick up when ready. Buy beer at a different station. Check days and hours to know when open.

    Ok beer, no head

    This place has fantastic vibes! There's a large and glorious outdoor area with that feels like an exotic cantina! I love the setup where you order drinks from one station and food from another. I even love the restrooms where the toilets are mini-rooms and there's an outdoor sink. The only thing I don't like about the vibes: the smell. I'm not sure if it's fertilizer for the dates or what but...the whole place smells like manure. Unfortunately, I think the food and beer were pretty mediocre. The beer: only 3 of the taps were from beer brewed onsite. Two of them were on the maltier side, and one was a blonde. There were no hoppy styles brewed on site, which is a bummer. I got the amber and it was ok, but a bit too sweet for my tastes. I sampled the double date which I also thought was pretty sweet. Oddly, the amber had no foam or head at all. It looked like coke more than beer (see photo). The food: I got some street tacos and they were really tiny and really unimaginative (again, see photo). I thought $12 was a little steep for the portion and quality I could've easily eaten six more. (and I had dinner again 2 hours later somewhere else) The service was friendly, no complaints there! This place definitely caters to an older/retiree crowd, I don't know if I've ever been somewhere (excluding maybe a church) where I was unequivocally the youngers person. So it's very possible that this is just one of those rare breweries that is brewery beers for a different crowd than mine.

    Easily one of my new favorite places! It's just a quick jaunt from the foothills and over a long dirt road. I always take my jeep, and the parking lot is usually full of side by sides and off road vehicles, though I think if you take the road to the right (just as you're nearing the brewery, the road splits), you shouldn't encounter too much sand for a regular car. I LOVE the date beer here! One is a smooth amber beer, complete with a date on top. They also feature a wonderful IPA, a double, and many local (southwest) visiting beers on tap. The food is on par, and there is often a live band playing. The tricky part is getting the timing right for when to head out, as they are only open Thursday through Sunday, but it's prime for heading over after a hike. They are also closed in the summer, but sitting outside isn't ideal in the summer, anyway. The menu is diverse and viewable online, many items feature dates! There are a few vegetarian options and perhaps one vegan / vegetable wrap option (as well as the chips and salsa) but I've had nothing but rave reviews from my omnivore friends on the everything they've ordered (especially on the Kamman sausage breakfast and nachos). I've also heard great reviews from friends staying in the glamping tents! Though I have not yet tried them. Dogs are welcome :) the seating is all outside amongst the date treats.

    Great stop on our weekend trip. Sunday afternoon it was hopping with live music, dog friendly restaurant and great beer! The grounds are beautiful and offer camping. We ended up camping in our Revel Van overnight in the date farm.

    Open area and stage.

    Buenísimo bar, especialmente entre semana para mi gusto, cuando hay buen ambiente pero no demasiado…read morelleno. Mucha selección de cerveza, tanto en botella como en barril. Las de botella me gustaría que fueran más artesanales; son más bien importadas, que no es necesariamente lo mismo. Aún así, muy buena selección y el lugar y servicio en general súper recomendable.

    El Sume !!! When I…read morefirst moved to Mexicali I was little bummed about the beer selection. Don't get me wrong I love Mexican beer but I need other styles. Moving from San Diego I really missed my IPAs, Double IPAs, Triple IPAs... I'm thirsty... Anyway, shortly after Mexicali became my home, a friend told me about this place. They said it recently opened and it had "American" beers. I was curious. I was crossing my fingers that it wasn't just Budweiser, Miller, etc. When I arrived I immediately felt like I was in a beer bar. I started to perk up a bit. The bartender gave me a menu. I opened it and.....YES ! They are here !!!! Stone, Green Flash, Ballast, OMG !!!! The bartender could tell I was really excited. I was getting ready to order a Stone when he said we have Stone on tap if you prefer. Whaaaaaaa?!?! Yes, please ! I ordered two because I thought it might disappear. The staff is super friendly and doesn't hesitate to let you know about taps and types of beer. There is also a great outdoor area. I have been to Sume many times since that night. Recently, Baja has been going through a boom of home brewers and micro brewers. Last trip there they had some of these local flavors in bottle and on tap. Niiiiiiiice !! When it comes to nightlife, Mexicali has bars, clubs, and restaurants, that become hot and cold very quickly. Sume is still standing. Obviously, prices are higher for the US craft selection so if you don't want to spend too much just try something new and grab one of the Baja micro brews. Most likely you won't be disappointed. Gracias !
