    Robert was great he had several recommendations on which beers to try and where to go for fun. We loved the sour and the blueberry wheat

    Dope Spot. Very easy to hang out here, and kill a few pints Staff was cool, game was on tv, beer was delicious. However, that $20 turkey sandwich was the worst thing Ive ordered in a long time. Gave it to a hungry guy outside not to waste it. Maybe skip the food, and order another beer. Cheers

    On my way to another location late afternoon on a weekday I saw Knotty Brewing and decided to stop in for a flight. Sitting at the bar, service was slow and not friendly. There were only a few other people there so not sure why. I selected a couple of their own beers and a couple from their guest taps. The beers I chose from KB just were not that good for my palate.

    We had tried several different places this day, you can search for the other ones, they were not great. Knotty Brewing was AMAZING. We got personalized attention, great beer, snacks from the place next door were delivered to us at the bar, and most importantly, they were playing the football game on the TV. I highly recommend this place, we tried every beer they had on tap that day and I couldn't say anything bad about any of them. Their samplers are reasonably priced, and as I said, there are TVs. Great experience!

    We were walking by and Daniel accosted us by saying "I'm here" and we said "so are we!" So. Wow. Great beer here - even for my "I only like Bass Ale" husband. Daniel is AMAZING - so much attention to customer service you'd think he owns the place. And, the music is very 60's-70's which was fun! Great laid back old school SD vibe---despite the obvious care to Covid safety. it made us not mind.

    Stopped here for a quick flight of beers to get a feel for another brewery that's on the newer side since my last visit to San Diego last year. Alas, I did not try the food, but it all looked tasty, from what I saw. Sometimes I wish I had the stomach room (and budget) for bites and beers at every place I stop, but beers are always a priority during a brewery visit. So let's get into it. Grabbed a flight of four beers and went for a bit of a variety, with a kolsch, IPA, porter and Black IPA. Service was fine enough, though I probably would have ordered the flight a little differently, myself. That's more of a preference thing, so no big deal. The kolsch was standard, if not a little bland. The IPA wasn't bad, but I wouldn't have called it a NE style IPA. It wasn't hazy, but definitely lower on assertive bitterness. Maybe more of a standard east coast style, in terms of lower IBUs and a heavier breadier malt profile than its citrusy, bright west coast counterpart. Just not what I personally would call "NE" style. That said, the porter and black IPA were both solid offerings, and I find black IPAs to be a pretty hard style for most breweries to nail. So, kudos to Knotty for that! It was a short visit and I didn't look around too much, but I think they're doing a solid job for being on the younger side. New breweries take a while to work out the kinks, and if their beer is representative of their early efforts, they'll be putting out some solid product in no time. Can't wait to check out how they're doing next year.

    This was great experience. Danny, the bartender, was very great host. He was very knowledgeable about the different types of beers. All social distancing guidelines were enforced. Great service, highly recommended.

    Great corner spot with a good beer selection and delicious food. Reasonable prices for the location & staff were friendly. We were served quickly and enjoyed the experience!

    Just happened to be walking by on my way to the Gaslamp and one of the bartenders approached me offerring a $2 shot of craft beer. I decided to give it a quick shot. The size of the shot cup was fair. There were other choices of beer. Also the beer was sold by various sizes and the shots are also sold as samplers. During my brief time there I enjoyed the environment and it was chill and laid back. I will be back again and I will be sure to try the restaurant next door.

They have a great selection of Beers that hit every flavor profile. The prices are really reasonable. Depending on size, it's $3 to $9. We both got the Jesters Privilege. That was very tasty. This Brewery has plenty of seating. Indoors and Outdoors. You can watch Sports there will you enjoy a great beer. There were a lot of people there so it's definitely a popular brewery. The service was superb! The guy that poured our beers was super friendly and made you feel very welcomed. Overall it was a great experience and we wanna try more beers.

High fives for us by him! The beer menu is great. I go around different locations of breweries to try out any stouts or ipas they have advertised. I usually go for the strongest stuff because well, it just tastes better. We came during their happy hour, they have great prices for the pints, and great tasting beers. They do rotate, so if you don't see something that was on a previous posted menu, fear not, they will come back again. The interior vibes well, pretty chill tavern style bar which matches my vibe. 10/10 will come back again!

    Been drinking Harland Brewing for years and FINALLY made it to this location. Walked in thinking it…read morewas going to be a tiny space with only a few tables and was amazed with the gorgeous layout. The Beertenders were AWESOME from the moment we got there! They are super helpful and welcoming and have the best energy. Definitely want to become a regular just to be able to kick it with them. Parking was easy; found street parking right away! I'm sure some days it can be harder than others with parking, but we took it as a sign! Harland has one of the best Japanese Lagers and honestly this is the beer we always try to get when it comes to drinking Harland! We got this and CRONE ZONE, because, come on! GO PADS! My husband was happy because there were outlets right at our table, so he could charge his phone! & the variety of table top options and seats makes everyone feel comfortable! Lastly, they said a restaurant two doors down delivers food if we order, so even though they may not have an entire restaurant, they still work with other local restaurants to make the experience worthwhile! Can't wait to go back!
