I love manrock! It's family owned and operated! The yummiest beers on tap and the friendliest staff! We go there and have a few beers, fried pickles and play a few rounds of Apple's to Apple's! Fear the reaper is the yummiest amber ale I ever had! read more

Wonderful beer, wings and wood fired pizza. Everyone was super friendly, service was amazing. The patio with giant Jenga and corn hole to play was great with our dog. I wish we lived closer - we would be regulars for sure! read more

Great place, nice atmosphere and excelllent service!!! Had the beer and pizza special. The Mama D. Pizza was delicious... tried several beers and the ciders. Nice specials, great members perks and customer rewards... read more

I can't even give them one star the service was so rude granted the food is good but the lack of respect was just despicable so rude f*** this place never go there but apparently in order to post this I have to give them at least one star and that took a lot of f****** effort because they were just mean read more

The food was amazing here! Anytime they offer the tri tip sand which Id go for it! Excellent

This was a nice find! If you are into trying craft beer this is a good place to stop. The prices were very reasonable, you tend to find some places that are too proud and jack up the price. The devils bath was my favorite, for it being 8.2% it hides it well. Another that I liked was the Fear of nitro which is an oatmeal stout. The Pork nachos were awesome, the pork vas juicy and tender. I would come visit again. read more

I was referred here and didn't know what to expect. The service was great and the food was all homemade. I have to recommend the jalapeño poppers and pizza. There were beers for everyone, a good smooth blonde to a nice hoppy one. Left with a growler for New Years Eve. read more

Very cool spot. Low key, amazing friendly family. Good beers. Say hi to Paige for me. She is super cool.

One of my favorite local breweries. Good beer, good food, good atmosphere, and good people. The owners are great and always very friendly. They have a great outdoor seating area with cornhole and giant jenga. Some night they have music. I recommend the beer, the burgers, the pizza, pretzels, and pretty much everything they make! Really great local brewery, I really recommend them. read more

Warm weather and the beer garden, what a nice combination. Wednesday night burgers are best on central coast, wood fired pizza oven turns out great zaa, family run, great staff make for the overall best brew pub around. Oh yeah, great craft brew beers and live music Wednesday and Friday. If you like great food and beer, this is the place to visit. read more

I can't say enough great things about Manrock. Not only is their beer top notch, but they have excellent guest taps. And the owners couldn't be nicer. I choose this place over and over again and never leave disappointed. read more

I want to love this place. But....they are not all that friendly! Kind of business as usual or too stressed to really connect. The one guy is really uptight and defensive.....don't get it, it's a brewery, be friendly! read more

Wow what a Great family brewery! I would highly recommend this micro brewery to everyone. Really Great beer and home made style food. The pizzas or hamburgers may take a little longer to come out of the kitchen but it's worth it. Enjoy the brews and the local regulars that frequent here. And if you want to be an often patron buy a 24 ounce mug to hang on their wall and get your discount. This family really has it together. read more

Innovative beers, very friendly staff, and good pizzas and apps. Dog friendly. Nice patio. Try the 86'd. Double IPA made with New Zealand hops. Taste sensation. The sours are also very good. read more

Anyone who is rude to their entertainment and short changes musicians does not deserve my business. Don't care if beer is good or not. Shows lack of integrity. read more

Excellent pizza made in an authentic pizza oven and delicious salads with handmade dressing. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Great beers, too!! Awesome variety. Great atmosphere and very chill vibe. Very friendly staff. Great place overall! read more

I visit breweries wherever I go and this one is one of the best. Amazing beer, great food, and super cool owners. The place has a laid back environment and is perfect for chilling out after a long day or on a day off. If you visit the area and enjoy breweries, make it a point to stop here. We will be back every time we are in the area. read more

A hearty 4 PLUS star review for ManRock Brewing. My wife and I stopped in for a beer on an early weekday evening and we very pleasantly surprised by both the great atmosphere and the excellent quality of the beer. Now, to be honest, from the parking lot it doesn't look like much, but once you are in the door you know your in beer geek country from the wonderful aroma of brewing beer to the sight of all those stainless steel tanks:-). We're not locals being from Santa Barbara (about 90 miles away) , but there were several locals at the bar when we were there ( they had mugs with their names on them). They made us feel as "at home" as did the attentive staff. Granted it was not quite prime time as we got there early but every staff member was friendly and communicative and the locals were all very cool. We didn't try any of the food on this trip (other than the peanuts:-) as we'd had a large lunch elsewhere but in the future I can't wait to try a pizza or burger along with the excellent beer. The ones we saw going out sure looked great and I bet once we try them it will be 5 stars all the way! Great Job ManRock, we WILL be back :-) I wish you were my "local" brewery as I'd certainly be a regular :-) read more

In my opinion, and that's all that matters: 1) the beer is great 2) the pizzas are imaginative and delicious 3) the atmosphere is enjoyable 4) the people are friendly and helpful. Two of them went out of their way this week to make calls to find me a hotel and get me a good rate. Brew-pub staff looking after their out-of-town customers! I'll go back there again! read more

Great atmosphere, surprisingly kid and dog friendly and I have had a few good beers here. They do guest taps as well so they serve beers that are from other breweries. The wood fired pizzas are just ok; get the one with hot sauce as it's the best. Other bar/snack food like pretzels etc. that are ok as well. Live music on occasion, owners are always on hand doing everything from cooking to pouring to cleaning to schmoozing. Clearly the star of the show is the atmosphere. Wonderful outdoor patio hangout. Not much competition in Grover Beach so this is it.. read more

This family clearly takes pride in their establishment. Delicious beers, quality food, excellent service. Great attention to detail.

To the owner of this brewery: you are the sweetest and kindest business woman I've ever talked to. Your brewery rocks, your beer is out of this world and your business commitment is one of the strongest I've ever seen. We took a growler full of reepers creepers pale ale home and the hubby and I fought over the last drop. We're too far away but refill it but whenever back in your area , we will definitely return!! Thank you for making us feel so welcome!! read more

ManRock Brewing - Empty :-( and 500 miles away... Too far to drive for refill. - Pizza Near Me - Grover Beach, California

Awesome place!!! Great service, great beer and Bree is the best. This place is welcoming, worth the drive and kudos to the employees that separates it from your every other brewery. Definitely worth the trip! read more

The double IPA (I am a big fan of IPA) they were promoting would be a better fit to pour on pancakes! Grossly unbalanced! So sweet! The bartender (owner?) was kind of pretentious too- acted like any customer was a neophyte to beer. I kept trying to like his IPA, and finally gave up after I drank about 1/2. I asked them if I could trade for 1/2 of something else- their response was, "sure, but we'll charge you". So much for having even a slight awareness of customer satisfaction. Jeez! I won't be back. And I'm a local! After just reading other reviews, I see that this is not unusual for this place. Bad beer, bad concept of customers. read more

We have enjoyed this place for years. It's like a old friend, everyone knows someone. Excellent beer, Mike is awesome. Service is impeccable

Amazing Food with stone oven pizza that goes with with brewed beer!!!! BBQ salad with balsamic dressing.... So good. Thai chiken pizza with tropical paradise beer, great match. Sadly im just visiting the area, their hours are noon to 8pm. It just close to holiday inn, where you can just walk afterwards :) read more

Great place to hangout with friends and family. I just wished they had a hard Cider for those of us that do not care for beer.

Great place to hang with a mellow atmosphere. The wood fire baked pizzas and pretzels are wonderful. Had a coco pebble stout the other day and it had a wonderful flavor profile. Family run operation, and a place you can bring your kids to, if you have the need. read more

Such a great family run establishment. So great for the community. They supported my daughter's softball team, and provide work experience for one of my clients with autism. I can't walk in without a handshake and a question about my girls. Best burger in town on Wed, great pizza, and solid beer. I only wish I could get there more often. read more

Visited here for the first time and was very pleased. The indoor atmosphere is a little modern/cold but the patio off of the back is great! They have heaters as well as a fire pit burning. Plenty of seating and the drink options were great! The staff was friendly and quick to serve us. Looking forward to going back! read more

First things first: the beer is amazing! You can taste the heart that goes into crafting this delish brews. The pizza: absolutely mind blowing - italians should come here to learn how to make a great pizza. Seriously. But the best of all: the owners: absolutely lovely people, chatting with us, hit us with a stack of stickers, helped us out with our WiFi issues and acted as we were regularly customers for years (which we weren't since we were just visiting). You want a helluva of brew and a mean pizza? Go to ManRock and knock yourself out! read more

ManRock was fun the night we were there. Lots of happy people (the outside tables were full) and a good musician. There were also quite a few outdoors games and board games to keep everyone occupied. The pizzas were really good and were served quickly. We both had flights (trying to cover as much ground as possible) and were happy with most of our beers. I would definitely come again. My only warning would be that it gets smoky outside between the pizza oven and the fire pit. Don't wear new clothes! read more

Enjoyable experience: beers were very good, pizza was great, and the staff /patrons were the bomb. I'll be back! Fear the Reaper was a different style of IPA than what I'm used to, but enjoyable to say the least. Brea the service dog was just so cute. read more

I work up here and sometimes bring my wife... we visited this brewery twice now... I don't think we will try a 3rd time. They look to have a good selection of beers, but both times we went there we felt like we were crashing a private party. First time there WAS a party on the patio so I understand. .. but this time there just seemed to be a bunch of locals and we kind of got the stink eye... nobody from the bar greeted us or acknowledged our existence while we searched for a table... the bartender did say hi folks to us as we were leaving... when we discussed it outside we both had the same feeling... who were we and why were we there... went over to AJ bar and had a good time... oh well, I drink Firestone and Sam anyways, not that big of a lost. read more

This was our first time here. Paige was our server she was awesome. The website says when your here you feel like family. We definitely did! The music was better than any place we've been, Santa Barbara to San Francisco! Pizza was gourmet . We had the the "devil's jack" brew one of the best beers I've had. And the dog Brie was wondering around, making it really feel at home. We will definitely be back! Thank you! See you soon. Kevin and Kathy read more

This is a great neighborhood brewery! Great outdoor patio and music. The only complaint is the mosquitos. I get bit every time I go! Not the greatest feeling after leaving a restaurant. Makes it a less pleasing experience. read more

This is our favorite place to go for a few drinks. Family ran, and they know you by name!! Their new location is perfect for what they have going on. Large outdoor area. Live music and yard games! You can even bring your well behaved doggies as long as you stay on the patio. Beers are always changing which is fun. They serve tacos, but I don't really recommend them...stick to the brewskis! read more

Great new location from there Grover beach one a lot bigger friendly staff and good food and big tv's so you can watch football all round the areas they also have a lite up patio and a band some nights I recommend for Sunday's for football and Monday's for football or if you just want a good locally breed beer to drink. read more

Let's face it, those of us who live where other people love to vacation know just how good we have it here. The climate and the easy access to so many places and activities make the central California coast a slice of heaven. The common attractions which bring people into our world are absolute blessings, but the places the locals use are the real gems. ManRock leads that list. The service is always outstanding; the food is awesome (the pizza is cooked in the oven right there on the patio!) and the atmosphere is reminiscent of "Cheers", from the 80's sitcom, "where everybody knows your name". Regularly scheduled live music in the outdoor patio is often provided, or you can take advantage of their traditional family-type games with your friends. Even with all this going for it, the beer and the mead are the best reason for coming here. The care and attention which goes into every brew they produce is evident. Produced right there on the premises, this family pours their passion with every glass. Samples are always gladly shared and, if you are unsure, the staff is willing to discuss any of their products to find the one which suits you. This small family owned business has grown significantly over the last few years, and continues to thrive, because they produce a quality product to be enjoyed in an atmosphere which just says "come and relax". They are doing it right at ManRock. If you live here, or are just visiting, stop in and experience how this wonderful pub is making a difference! read more

Tried this place and I was quite impressed. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Answered all my IPA questions and hooked me up with a great beer. The bar food was good, but small portions and obviously came frozen, but can't complain too much since the beer was right on point. We will definitely stop here again when we are in town! read more
