This spot is such a vibe. We love going here for a drink or two when we are in hillcrest. This visit, I tried the spicy marg with jalapeño and my friend tried the habanero version. We both thoroughly enjoyed them. Love the decor in here and the staff is always chatty and fun whenever I've popped in. read more

Hillerest Brewing Company (HBC) is one of those neighborhood spots that gets to know you. The staff is always kind and makes you feel welcome. They have a wide selection of beers, a few ciders, and a nice cocktails menu. Their pizzas are tasty (along with their non pizza items). They also offer a nice happy hour deal and every month they introduce a new flavor of the month so it makes the next visit a surprise. It's the perfect place to grab a flight, share a pie, and soak in the atmosphere. If you're in Hillcrest and want a casual, feel-good hangout, this is your spot. read more

My husband came home with pizza and wings after an evening out with his friends. The wings were personally too sweet for me (but this may also be due to my salty pregnancy food cravings.) I grabbed a slice of carnitas pizza and halfway into eating it there was a HUGE piece of plastic that I bit into. We were mortified and immediately stopped eating the pizza. read more

First time trying their wings and they're good. I got the spicy wings (not spicy to me, but good flavor). They also have buffalo, BBQ among other flavors. The wings are baked, so they will take 20 min or more to arrive. They have a huge selection of beers; mostly their own and some guest beers, cocktails, wine and NA beers. Whether you choose to sit outside, inside or by the bar, you know you'd get great service and you might even get to interact with the regulars and the staff there. I love this place! read more

Still, after all these years, HBC stands head and shoulders above all other places (for me at least) in Hillcrest. It was once my favorite local bar when I lived around the corner and now I only pay it a visit once a year during PRIDE, but damn, it's still and awesome place! Don't let the word "brewery" steer the liquor lovers away - I'm one of them. This brewery serves booze, which is an absolute rarity and something I wish was more of a thing but I do understand that those licenses are hard to come by. The staff is still mostly the same as I remember and they're cool AF. They're happy to serve you with a smile and a hug when chugging a lug and scarfing down one of those delicious pizzas that they're pumping out of the kitchen. read more

Good spot to grab a beer and hang out. The pizza looked and smelled amazing. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and even brought out shots for the table. read more

Happened upon this place while on a walk in the area. We sat at the bar. I enjoyed the Hop Sucker Double IPA which was hoppy and crisp. Totally hit the spot! My partner got one of the guest taps and she enjoyed it. I got a slice of their cheese pizza which did the trick. The staff was a little busy but got the job done. Overall, it was a good experience. Nothing fancy but comfortable. Everyone is welcome! read more

I was initially not aware of the Hillcrest Bewing Company Restaurant. It is tucked away at the side of a small shopping center known locally as Pride Plaza, since it is right beside a prominent Pride Flag flying over Hillcrest. I recently dined at a new restaurant in the plaza called Celler Hand, so i saw the Hilllcrest Bewing Company on that visit and made a mental note to return sometime soon. I decided to visit on a Monday, that I presumed would be quiet. However, to my surprise, there happended to be some kind of game on the many television sets that are suspended over the bar, so the crowds were beginning t oarrive soon after i got there. The hostess was a touch abrupt and matter-of-fact as to her greeting. Once the waiter came over, he was busy, but remained kind as well as efficient. I orered the very thin crust pizza, and it was pretty good. I think I ate most of it. read more

This was my 2nd and it's a great place to grab a bit. Pretzel bits with cheese were so good. The wings are delicious. Service is great and the ambience is friendly and pleasant. Ohhhh let's not forget the drinks! Strong and delicious! I will be back for sure. It's a must try! read more

Get a group together and Kiki with drinks and pizza at this laid back spot! HBC is a really laid back bar and restaurant in the hillcrest hub, very indoor/outdoor, perfect for large groups or a drink/ date with a friend. I love feeling at home in an LGBT community space! They have a great selection of cocktails, beer, and pizza, you can't go wrong! What I love most about the pizzas is the generous toppings! They are committed to each pizza really being unique in their flavors. Coochie Coochie Carnitas - 5/5 - Mexican taco style pizza, such a San Diego moment, very filling! Margherita Mary - 5/5 one of their lighter pizzas, a succulent bite with the tomato slice and cheese. Sweet Hot Pig - 5/5 Hawaiian style with a LIGHT kick Breadsticks - the dough is super good, taste just like the pizza crust, and the marinara sauce was bomb Caesar Salad - 4/5 enough for 3-4 ppl, nothing crazy Cocktails are a step above normal bar style drinks, but not quite speciality craft speakeasy level. Lots of choices though, with their many Margaritas being my fav. Extensive beer list. You can definitely split a pizza amongst two big eaters, or even three. The servers here are all really funny and like to be silly and give you nicknames like "doll" "Jan" "Queen" "Diva" etc. read more

We found Hillcrest Brewing Company on our way back from Sesame Place with our kid. Just looking for something simple where we could get a beer after spending all day with Elmo. Service was quick, pizza was fantastic, and the music was on point. And a great beer selection! read more

Only about four house beers were on tap last night, but I enjoyed the Hop Sucker IPA. My girl liked her Blonde. An excellent choice for Monday night wings, just $1 each after 6:00. We opted for "spicy," which means their Buffalo flavor. Almost like a marinade rather than a saucy mess. Cooked in the pizza oven with nice char on some edges and a little healthier (I guess?) than the deep fried style you find most other places. Friendly service from Charlie. Look forward my next visit! read more

Definitely make sure to ask how the check should be divided rather than assume. We were on a date, and we received two separate checks. We just paid them to not have to deal with the hassle, but really not a wise move on the waiter's end. read more

How have I never reviewed this spot? My boyfriend and I make this our go to when we want to go watch the game on tv and enjoy tasty pizza. Typically we like to grab a seat at the bar if there is space or if we are there with a group we like to grab one of the larger tables outside. The service here is always great and anytime I have gone in everyone is peppy and happy which in return makes it an enjoyable experience. My boyfriend loves their bbq chicken pizza which I will have to say is pretty good I personally love a classic pepperoni but also love to check out their monthly special pizzas! They also have other tasty options like garlic knots and a variety of wing flavors. Their patio is also dog friendly so if you have a pup there are always a lot of people out there with friendly dogs. Also if you don't have time to sit down and enjoy, just call in and order a pizza Togo! read more

I was surprised that I had never been in here before it was very spacious bar with seating inside and outside, lots of TVs all around the bar and they had the Padres game on which was great. my friend and I stopped by for a quick drink before our dinner reservations down the street. We ordered two blueberry Moscow mules. They were good, but probably should've asked for a double. That would be my only complaint I guess. More alcohol please! Don't judge it's the Weeknd after a long work week lol I definitely want to come back and try their food. read more

Always have a great time at the brewing company. Pizza is excellent and we are avid sports fans so the Big TV is awesome.

I love this place to watch a game! They have happy hour everyday on drinks and their beer list is expansive. The wings are amazing they do not fry them- grill only which gives a whole different taste! I prefer extra crispy and the honey bbq. I've tried the caprese salad and the Caesar salad with chicken both are really good! Any pizza is delicious here - thin crust. Service is really good too! Everyone is sweet and you see the same people, highly recommended for a sports bar! read more

Came here last week with the family. My biggest compliment for this specific spot is the service. They are spot on with recommendations and being quick and efficient.

My boyfriend and I popped in at around 345 pm on a Friday. It was our first time here. We sat outside in the patio, it was empty and had a cute vibe. We tried their black plague hazy Ipa it was delicious. They had happy hour $2 off draft. We also ordered a few slices of pizza which was absolutely delicious!! We also ordered a 6 piece wing and the ranch was to die for you can tell they make it in house. The staff were kind and had great service. We are definitely coming back. read more

This is a friends go to hang and when we all go we always have fun. Simple menu and a cornerstone spot for our queer community. The menu items all have hilarious bawdy names and it's an easy outing. I personally love the garlic nuts - I said I like their nuts and the pizzas are solid and seasonal ones tend to be a better bite in my opinion. Drinks are good but it's the community come on in we love you feel that I like. Parking can be a pest but it's worth the visit for service, food and fun. read more

An extensive selection of brews and cocktails, incredible variety of screens to watch the game, and delightful food specials everyday all brought together by Hillcrest's finest crew of bartenders and staff! read more

Hillcrest Brewing Company is our go to spot to catch the games while having adult beverages. The Inside = High ceilings and a lot of wood. Large sectioned big screen TV on the wall to catch the games. There is also a nice outdoor area where dogs are welcome (long as they act right :) ) The Service = Good. Servers are super friendly and attentive. The bartenders are also great. The Food = Good. My go to pizzas are the Meatpacker and Hoochie Coochie. If you don't like soggy limp crust, I do suggest to request your pizza "well-done". The wings fell a little short for me as they are baked. The sauces are good but I miss the fried goodness. The chopped salad is my go to and I total lay recommend adding carnitas to it :) Welp! Onto the next! read more

The wings are sooo yummy! The pizza was delicious too. Can't wait to go back for wings on happy hour.

The food, service, and beer selection is just the best. Can't miss spot in San Diego, specially if you love sports!

We absolutely love Hillcrest Brewing Company! Their pizza is amazing, and their happy hour deals are hard to beat. Monday is our favorite day to visit--$1 wings that are always cooked perfectly! Jason is the best, and the whole staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and kind. The service and food are great every single time we visit. It's one of those places where you know you'll always have a good experience. Highly recommend! read more

Stop by with my husband to have a beer before going to a party. Lucky for us there were happy hour until 6 pm. We got the house beer (a red ale and blond ale) and we both loved it. The pizza looked and smelled soooo good...we for sure want to go back to try it. It's a cute spot and all the staff was so friendly. Dogs are welcome too! read more

Stopped by for some pizza, wings, and adult beverages and wasn't disappointed. Our server was fantastic and checked on us frequently and made good suggestions on food and drinks. The Coochie Coochie Carnitas pizza (love the name!) was so good! Larger than expected, so plenty for 3-4 people to share, especially if you plan on ordering an appetizer. It comes topped with carnitas (which was tender and flavorful), queso fresco, a mix of cheeses, onions, and cilantro. The drizzled salsa verde on top as a nice touch to the pizza. Also got an order of the honey sriracha wings. The wings were oven baked and packed a little heat and was only slightly sweet. Started off with a glass of the Abnormal Hefeweizen and decided to end with the Black and Blue Mule. Both were nice and refreshing, but preference was for the cocktail. Definitely stop by Hillcrest Brewing Company if you are looking for good eats in a super (family) friendly environment. read more

BEST PIZZA I'VE HAD IN A WHILE. The crust is the perfect texture and thickness, plus all the ingredients tasted very fresh. The pizza was a bit on the pricey side at about $25 for a veggie pizza but so worth it. The waitstaff was super friendly and accommodating. It was my friend birthday so one waiter sang at the top of his lungs the most wonderful and unique birthday song. The atmosphere is very chill and the drinks are also nothing short of delicious! This place is a MUST! read more

The service and staff here are just as good as it ever was. Very friendly and attentive. The pizza is good the beer is good the staff is great. What more can you expect or want from a brewery. I sure did miss this place. I don't go as often as I used to cause I don't work down the street from it anymore. Always a good time stopping in here. read more
