    Tucked away behind an industrial park on Sorrento Valley Blvd is New English Brewing. The tasting room is spacious with lots of seating and tvs. They have opened one section which is 21+ only, no pets, for patrons who want that ambiance. They also have a huge outdoor area with lots of shade, fire pits, and outdoor games. Beer list is plentiful with a good selection for all palates. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about beer selections.

    Having not been here in years, yours truly was far past due for a refresher. Glad I did it. It's tough to find a barrel-aged brown ale at all but New English has one year round and it's quite tasty. High marks. The place is spacious and has tons of indoor and outdoor seating, it's kid and dog friendly and has a 21+ area if you're not a fan of the aforementioned kids and canines. Good beer menu, nice mix of styles and they have a couple seltzer options too. Friendly service. There's tacos and coffee nearby and this is an easy spot to spend a few hours.

    We wanted to find a nice brewery with an outdoor seating. With a quick yelp search, we found this spot. As soon as we arrived, there was plenty of parking. Interestingly, they had a bunch of food, places nearby like craft tacos, Mom's Pizza and a couple of more options. The brewery allowed us to bring our own food from one of these restaurants. I found this super cool. As soon as we arrived at the brewery, they had both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating had a fireplace too and a couple of games. The outdoor vibe was great so we decided to sit outdoors. They had a variety of beer. We tried a couple of them. Our favorite one was the blueberry fused beer. One of our friends also tried the lemon hard seltzer. This was 10% strong and did the job. The pairing of the tacos, pizza, beers and the ambiance was great! We loved that they had so many options to choose from! I definitely recommend checking out this place if you haven't already!

    Wide assortment of IPAs and ales. Designated pub area for those over 21+ looking to remove themselves from the family-friendly parts of the brewery. Knowledgeable beertenders who can pick a curated flight based on your beer palate. Overall, this place has something for everyone, family or not, and deserves to be top destination when in Sorrento Valley.

    Humbly Legit IPA

    What a great spot. Great staff, very clean and they have a party room. You can't beat their beers. I had a west coast IPA and my wife had a brown ale. Both were very good. If it wasn't over two hours from our home we'd become regulars.

    Friends with kids wanted to meet up here because of their kiddie play area. My kids are grown and i don't drink beer so I was here purely to meet up with my people. Luckily they had a Margarita seltzer on tap that was very tasty (and strong!) plus lucky enough that Craft Taco is next door for me to get my favorite food! you are able to order food from New English by QR code but i opted to walk next door and order and take advantage of a Happy Hour non beer beverage. Then Craft brought my food to New English! super cool

    Great selection of beer and plenty of seating inside and outside. The outdoor area is awesome with plenty of area for the kiddos to run around. The inside has plenty of TVs and a great place to watch a sporting event. The staff was very helpful and let me try samples of beer to decide what one I wanted to drink. Last, there is plenty of parking and could be a great place for a large event.

    Beer is whatever, millions of kids and the worst music I have ever experienced. It's like they don't want people to come.

    One of the best pork chops I've ever had…read more I ate at the bar and had the Kurobuta bone-in pork chop, and it was outstanding. The pork is marinated and then sous vide, and whatever they're doing works -- incredibly tender and juicy all the way through, with great flavor and none of the dryness you can sometimes get with a thick pork chop. The pepperonata and charred onion paired perfectly with it, and the chorizo cornbread was a great addition. Everything on the plate complemented the pork without overpowering it. I also have to mention behind the bar. The service was incredible -- attentive, friendly, and added to an already great meal. I eat and grill a fair amount of meat myself, and this honestly may have been the best pork chop I've ever had. Between the food and Cory's service, I'd absolutely come back and order it again. Highly recommended

But I'm not sure if that was the issue here, or just poor service. My wife and I came with our kid, and we were told all the outside seats were booked up with reservations so we were forced to sit inside (dark, not the best). Not only did it take 20 min to get our order taken and about 30-40 additional minutes to get our food, but we were there SO long that we were able to see the outside the entire time, and the tables were empty that entire time. We could have eaten TWICE at those tables outside. Food was...fine. Staff seemed to enjoy their job mostly. But the hostess.. ehhh... that was sorta sus. Waited forever, and wished we were outside. Also, on the kids word search, "OWL" Is not on there despite it being a word required to search. You need to change that. Totally gaslit.

Ended up giving the hotel restaurant a chance despite the 3.5 rating. Was very pleased with our experience! Our food was pretty good Salmon was an amazing recommendation The braised short rib was a little disappointing. Flavor did not penetrate the meat so it felt bland. The wine sauce was very subtle. But the mash potatoes were good. The Ahi Tuna tostadas definitely had really good flavor! The cheesecake was good paired with a cup of Americano. The price did feel on the high side for the portion size and quality, but I think we're really just paying for the convenience. Wasn't very busy, service was attentive. We sat outdoor and the heat lamps were working effectively. Outdoor seating options are pretty casual and comfortable.

We were seated right away, and our server was very nice, attentive and polite throughout the meal. The food came out at somewhat different times, but nothing unreasonable, and she did a good job checking on us. The food itself was okay. My Caesar salad could have used a little more dressing, although I could have asked for more, and the flatbread was pretty good, maybe a little better than average. What brought the experience down for me was the price and the way the charges were presented. Two drinks, a flatbread and a salad came to around $80. There was also a surcharge described as helping defray the cost of minimum wage, plus an 18% service charge added to the bill. We were a party of six, although we had separate checks, so it's possible the 18% was related to the size of the group. Either way, I'd rather a restaurant simply build its operating costs into the menu prices instead of adding extra surcharges at the end. And in this case, our server actually deserved a good tip, I probably would have given her 20% because she did a very good job, but I still prefer having that choice rather than having it automatically added. Good service, decent food, but for me the overall value wasn't quite there.

It's her happy place. We were doing some pre-wedding shopping at Nordstrom Rack and all met up here for dinner and drinks. I did not order any anything to eat, but I did see a ceramic bathtub cocktail reminiscent of bobby Mcgee's Old bathtub/toilet drinks. This really excited me my mom threw my bathtub away. The bathtub that every Barbie doll took a bath in when I was a kid. Before getting way too excited I realize that this might be an acrylic or plastic tub. I asked the server and they told me it was ceramic my excitement level rose again. Then I asked do I have to buy the sugary glow cube rubber, ducky beverage or can I swap it out for another beverage. The news was even better. I didn't need to buy the beverage at all. I could buy the bathtub for 10 bucks. So yes, I ordered the bathtub and I also ordered a margarita on the side I managed to swipe a bite of my husband's food. What more do I need? The excitement of my BJ's ceramic bath bathtub remake of a bobby Mcgee's bathtub made my day. Thank you, BJ's I imagine my friend will force me to come back.
