Latchkey Kids Unite! Chill atmosphere at Latchkey along this stretch of Morena Blvd in Bay Park. I was running errands down the road at Costco and met up with a friend to grab a beer and catch one of the afternoon World Cup matches. The beertender who poured a flight was very friendly and helpful answering menu questions. Sampling one of each style was nice. Each offering was refreshing and tasty. If I was in the area again I would gladly grab another beer at Latchkey Brewing Company. Cheers! read more

Willow was a really attentive beertender and really nice! Love the space and they had pretty good pizza. I like the airy space! The 67 IPA was a bit citrus flavored and really thirst quenching! Glad we decided to stop by. We'll be back. read more

We were so sad when Bitter Brothers closed as we used to walk there during Covid and order from the food trucks outside. It felt like a neighborhood staple. It took us a while to try latchkey but we are so glad we did. Love the beachy vibes and logo and the beer was great. It looked to be both dog and kid friendly although we didn't bring either when we went. : ) They have a lot of fun events and various food trucks. Their instagram is a good place to look for the upcoming events and food. read more

Service was great! Loved the Ambiance, and then there is the beer, absolutely delicious! Just what we needed after a long day of work, we will be going back this week LOL read more

THEY ARE BACKKKKKKKKKK Latchkey Brewery - Your Morena Blvd Must-Visit! There's something brewing just off Morena Blvd, and it's not just the shopping carts at Costco. It's the return of the crowd-pleaser, the hop innovator, and, dare we say, the kings of cool vibes - LATCHKEY Brewery is back in action, and we're here for it! Our love story with LATCHKEY just got a new chapter when they swung open their doors to 30 crafty gals caught in an Easter weekend rainyyyyy storm. Their game? Unmatched. Their hospitality? Next level. They didn't just welcome us; they rolled out the red (brewery) carpet. Imagine a sanctuary where you can sip on artisan ales while rain pitter-patters outside. Where laughter echoes, and glasses clink. Where 'last minute' doesn't mean 'less magic.' That's the wonder of LATCHKEY. From the moment we huddled through their doors - arms laden with picnic baskets and arts and crafts supplies - the LATCHKEY team welcomed us like family. Their space, usually echoing with the clinking of glasses and the murmur of hop-fuelled banter, transformed into our makeshift picnic spot, all while the storm raged outside. The vibes? Think your coziest living room but with kegs of the best brews on tap. The staff are not just staff, they become your favorite friendliest tribe. LATCHKEY, with your bubbly enthusiasm and gracious hearts, you've become our go-to guide for fantastic brews and times. You are the latest and greatest in not just craft beers but in creating a community space where everyone is family, the atmosphere is warm, and the good times roll. Looking forward to storming the castle again, armed with nothing but our love for a great brewery and the spirit of togetherness. Here's to more unexpected picnics, arts and crafts, and your unbeatable brews. Cheers, LATCHKEY - you're truly San Diego's liquid treasure! read more

First time here and it was very obvious that this was a click establishment. Beer was not very cold. Ordered empanadas that never came and found out the order was never placed. If they didn't know you weren't treated with very good customer service. Outsider for sure. Sad. I brought my boyfriend thought it would be a nice , close to home establishment. You're running 1 guy to serve beer and food. Too much for one person to be able to do. Of course he's over worked. Going to the Garten. read more

Really cute brewery, good beer, fun atmosphere. It's on Morena near Costco, so convenient to PB

First time there. Odd location. Got charged extra someone's bill. Nobody to answer my call to sort it out. The place is small with several (big and small) dogs, aka "dog friendly". Relatively short list of beers to try. read more

Latchkey Brewing took over the space that used to belong to the previous brewery, Acoustic Ales. I haven't visited the area in a few years, so I was shocked to see a different name. However, I was glad to see that another brewery took its spot. We came by before flying out of the airport, so it was a great way to bid farewell to the city. We both ordered taster flights, which came in a grand total of 4 for $8. There is a wiiiiide selection. You've got your light pilsners and ales, then a good amount of IPAs, Belgians, and a select few sours and darker stouts and porters. There will definitely be something for everyone. I wasn't entirely blown away by all of the beers, but I enjoyed their hilarious beer names. My favorites were the monkey belgians and the Kickin' and Screaming hazy PA! Delicious and juicy. They also sell merch like tees, provide serve-yourself water, and have a partnership with a local Italian food truck. However, you have to call and place an order...then walk/drive over to pick it up if you don't want to wait 15 mins for delivery. We ended up not getting food truck eats, and brought our own snacks instead (sorry Latchkey! Didn't know if y'all were cool with that). Our taptender was a friendly bearded man who was SO wonderful. 5 stars to you sir for taking our polaroid pic for us. The setup of the space (especially where we were behind the sliding wooden doors) could be more thoughtfully curated. I LOVE that there's shuffleboard, fooseball, 2 TVs (awkwardly hung up) and large checkers! There is so much potential in this space, but there should totally be more moving around of furniture for better flow. The restrooms are clean though. The parking situation was rough for us because we didn't think to do street parking along Hancock St, so when we turned onto Washington (the busy street) we thought we could go down the one-way road to get parking structure spots. NOPE. Kurtz is a one-way, employee-only street. So customers beware! We ended up walking from our street parking area and later saw signs for parking in a parking structure, but ya have to pay for that. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by Latchkey for the first time earlier tonight to get a few beers. Within 5 minutes of entering we were harassed by some old 60 yo man (I'm guessing a regular) at the bar - he seemed to dislike everyone that's not a born and raised "local" and said something along the lines of "that's the problem, too many kooks around here" behind our backs as we walked towards a table. Very off putting and disrespectful as we didn't say anything to him except that we were from the east coast. Completely unprompted and this made us feel uncomfortable and close out our tab immediately. In fact I drank like 2 sips of my beer and decided to leave. We definitely will not be coming back to this brewery as it appears to be "localized" by some old guy that happened to be born and raised here. What a joke. Not sure what's so hard about treating people especially strangers with basic respect. But instead this old catty guy decided to talk smack within earshot of us. read more

The customer service was great really nice beertender. My hubby said the beers were delicious. So 3 stars because they have nothing for people who are driving. Literally they have carb and sugar loaded waters and carb and sugar loaded soda in the bottle. No regular water in a bottle just tap which was really bad tasting.. I would go back if they had some choices for celiac people that wasn't loaded with sugar and carbs... read more

First time here scoping out places for a local group meeting and got called multiple names from a guy at the bar. Honestly one of the most uncomfortable atmospheres I've been in for a brewery (been to most in SD); this dude was unhinged and apparently "local" according to him. Small space, beer was undrinkable with what was going on, and it's really out of the way in comparison to other local brew pubs. There was no security or managerial presence to regulate anything, so felt unsafe for my girlfriend in the context above as well. Hate to write this but, yuck... skip and go to a more regulated/established place. read more

Katie behind the counter was a delight. Got some recommendations from her and all beers were yummy. Not a sour guy but they just brewed "It's My Jam". Kettle sour with Rasberries. Delicious. Great little spot to stop by if you're shopping at Costco or about to go play some pickleball at Kings like I'm about to do. Beers are so good I don't even remember the name of the brewery that it used to be a month ago. Haha. That's for you Katie read more

Enjoyed spending a Sunday afternoon at Latchkey. They were having a holiday pop up with local vendors selling miscellaneous items. They are dog friendly. They have games available to borrow - it is a fun place to check out as a group. I did a flight of their beer to try out. The brewery is tucked away so it wasn't over crowded, but still had a good amount of people & high level of energy. read more

Cool brewery in Midtown! I have been to this location before, but it was a different brewery. Nonetheless, this place serves some quality beer! They have sours, hoppy, & dark & malty. They have board games & corn hole, an outdoor patio, very spacious. Dog friendly. Bring Out The Gimp Stout: Bold & tasty. read more

Beer tastes so much better when served on tap at a brewery and safely enjoyed with friends on a sunny patio! It's the little things during a pandemic! Street parking with some patio/courtyard seating. You do have to add a $4 food voucher to your order, but on that day, it was for Mariscos El Katrin food truck so I can't complain. I was in the mood for dark beers so had both the porter and imperial stout. Extra bonus: dog friendly! read more

Stopped by here before heading to the airport. Its a small bar but don't let that fool you... this place is a cool spot to relax and throw back a beer or two or three! Not the easiest place to get to or even find parking but when you need a drink, they are here for you. Pricing is reasonable and service is excellent. I'll probably be back again when in the area. Cheers! read more

If you like IPA's, this place is great! Small brewery feel which I love and beautiful courtyard area. They offer snacks and bottled soda for sale. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because: 1. Parking sucks on the weekend which isn't their fault 2. You can't take your drinks outside to enjoy that beautiful courtyard. :( read more

Really awesome spot! Chill ambiance and a there is bunch of TVs! They had on the Padres game so even better. Bartender was super friendly & beer was bomb! My favorite part was how they chose to display their tap list. Super comprehensive and gave a detailed but quick insight into what is in every beer. Lovin it! read more

Awesome little semi hidden gem of a brewery. The Belgium brews are amazing; delicious and robust without being TOO heavy. Great location, no food hut love when they have the taco people and lucho libre is walking distance! Postmates for the win! Great setting, nice clean and casual perfect to meet with friends and games to play. Will return for a growler fill any day of the week! read more

Latch Key kids need supervision. I am all for the guy who takes a risk but bad attitude and service along with no wine, parking, or food is a death sentence. It was Saturday night and my wife and I decided to check this place out as we live within walking distance. We were the only two people in this brewery. I hate to crush the small guys dreams but this place is soon to be space dust. Within the first few minutes I knew why we were the only ones there. The music was very niche exactly like the guy serving the beer and my wife couldn't get a glass of wine. The good news was there was Shuffleboard so I figured we would have a couple. Here is where it really went south and the reason for my review. I called out to the beer guy and asked if I could have another? He stared at his cell phone acting like he was deaf. I said HEY BOSS can I get another? He nodded and brought over another but only to our detriment. Right above the Shuffleboard table were four windows open allowing for a nice breeze, it was still warm out and the breeze was awesome. Beer guy starts shutting the windows. I asked him if he could keep them open for us and you will not believe his answer, he says "NO". The reason blew us away "I can't because I might forget to close them". Rather than argue I simple asked him "Do you think this place is going to make it?" read more

Visiting from out of town and OMG the service here! I used to live here for 10 years and know the brewery scene pretty well. The place is low key, great energy and really courteous staff. They take the time to learn what you like so there suggestions are on point. This place is a HIDDEN GEM that is casual, comfortable and has a great outdoor seating area to relax in. They close at '9' but if there's a crowd they'll let everyone respectably sip there brew and chill. FANTASTIC!!!!! read more

Have time before a flight? Stop here! there is street parking. We really enjoyed going here with friends for some beer. Plenty of space and dog friendly! Each of us enjoyed our beers and even stayed longer than planned because we enjoyed it so much. For going to over 300 breweries this is definitely a fav! read more

I wish I could give two reviews, the Beer is definitely a 5 star. We had a taster, and here is what we had: -Lager- thumbs up the perfect drink after a hike (which is where I came from) it is very VERY light but mega drinkable for the same reason -Meow IPA - for an IPA haters gonna hate like myself, it was surprisingly good. The hops are there but they do not overrule the taste of the beer. -PORTER (with Cacao nibs from Ecuador and Coffee from Brazil) HANDS DOWN a must try, I am currently in love with this porter. and there was PALE ALE, we tried as well but that one was OK, nothing too exciting. The AMBIANCE could really use some energy- so this was more on the 3.5/4 star, on one side it definitely lives up to being a neighborhood bar, but we also visited during a Sunday night so maybe I will give it a try during Saturday, it just felt very empty- lacked energy. overall it was a good surprise to see someone local is making very good beer and I hope more people come try their stuff. read more

In the old Acoustic Ale location by the airport so we stopped on our way home from a flight and had a flight. Solid beer. Hubby is an award-winning homebrewer and I'm picky. They only have 6 beers on tap right now but they are all good. My favorite was On Point Porter- dry robust porter at 6.8%. 1915 Lager is 2nd and slim shazy pale 3rd. 'It's the Champ' and 'Squeak Pale' and 'Dank Diggler' are really good too. We were there on Memorial Day Sunday so it was quiet but bartender was super friendly and knew her beer. read more

Absolutely loved this place!!! We landed in San Diego and picked up our rental car. As we were driving toward the hotel, we decided to start looking for a place to grab a drink and a snack. My husband saw the sign for this place so we decided to drop in. I'm so glad we did!! Their beer is AMAZING-- best beer we've had on this trip so far. They have super friendly staff, too. Matty was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny!! He also made some beer recommendations based on our likes/dislikes and he was ON POINT. They also have a couple snacks like chips and pretzels. If you order the chips and salsa, you get literally an entire bag of chips and a full container of locally made salsa. Can't beat it!!! Highly recommend. read more

This is a fantastic natural setting brewery taster built somewhere around 1912 according to the busy barmaid. I love the courtyard which is the closest you can get to Europe in San Diego. The Pilsner and the Lager San Diego 1915 are the ones to go for. Ask for Lisa. read more

This is a local gem! It's tucked away and inside has such an amazing ambiance. The beers are tasty and inexpensive and the service is quick and friendly.

I'd definitely recommend this place for a gathering or party as well! read more

This was my favorite brewery of our three day trip. I liked the history and the beer. They have a variety of space and we enjoyed that. My only issue was parking was a little tough, but probably made worse as we were out of towners. read more

Beer is alright. Staff not friendly. Atmosphere needs some work. There are much better beer places in San Diego that way out-do this one.
