We are down in Ocean Beach often, we decided to check this place out. I can't believe we haven't been here sooner, their beers are awesome award winning beers. I can see why they are award winning because they are so crisp, clean and refreshing. We were there during Happy Hour, the beers were $2 off draft beers, and their Happy Hour food was amazing. We had people stop by our table asking where we got the food from. We love their chicken nachos, Buffalo Chicken wings and large fries. We never leave hungry, the portions area good size and very shareable. We absolutely love this place, we haven't been to the rooftop yet, but will check it out next time. There is a large shaded pet friendly patio, and it's only a few steps from the beach. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

What an amazing location! Just steps away from the beach, they have good vibes and great food. We grabbed a table on their large, pet- friendly patio. They also have rooftop seating with views of the ocean that we will have to check out next time. We were there during happy hour and tried some of their half-off food. We got chicken nachos and garlic parmesan wings. The food was delicious, the chicken wings were very crispy and didn't have a ton of batter filler. The beers were also happy hour prices, they have several award winning beers, I enjoyed their jalapeno Saison that won a gold medal at San Diego county beer festival. It was fresh and clean, and the jalapeno really stood out. We also had a sour, Rauch, dark German wheat and Belgian pale ale, they were all winners to us. Good service too! read more

They offer some of the nicest rooftop views overseeing the beach pier. First brewery stop for me on a Monday afternoon. It was not packed and I was able to get a seat upstairs. They have two bars first floor and second lope opens a little later in the day. I tried two different beers on tap: Bank's Bled Red and a hazy IPA Bay City Brewing. I enjoyed both beers. 5/5 I also had their mozzarella sticks and fried pickle chips. 4/5 not bad for bar food. Overall, a pleasant and chill atmosphere here if in need of a beer or quick bites with ocean views. read more

Last stop on the Beer Passport for the weekend. What a way to finish. This place has a view, good food and great beer. We had a few West Coast IPA's and didn't want to leave. Three stories and we were on the top for the view. The stairs are a bit of a pain but there's a little elevator as well. We had a great finish to our trip and definitely want to go back for more. Perfect beach vibes and people watching from up top was fun. read more

Was down in the San Diego area and stopped by Ocean Beach. I was there with several friends and we stopped by OB Brewery for a few beers. This place has quite a selection of beers and I selected the Irish Red. We had drinks on the roof and enjoyed the view. This place is just great therefore, if you are in the area be sure to stop by for a few beers. read more

This is the best place to watch the sunset at Ocean Beach. The vibes and food are as good as they get. Arty was a great bartender and was masterfully juggling dozens of people, leaving no one out. read more

He always wanted to eat in another high rise location within OB and this was just disappointing. One thing I've always noticed is when you're in a bougie area and eatery, yet the food tastes like it's from a cafeteria! I got their Caesar salad, it was okay, wouldn't order that again. I ordered Buffalo fire roasted wings, now I'm not sure about you but fire roasted doesn't scream burnt to me, I might be wrong but my first set of wings were burnt. Then my friend noted that they are fire roasted, and the second batch wasn't as burnt but they just were overcooked tough wings lol. I know this bc this is how my mom liked her chicken so if you're like my mom, get those chicken wings! They're probably fire but not for people that don't like drier wings. I like mine to be juicyyyyyy! My friend Rebecca, whom shares my bday, she had quinoa tacos. Those are not for me! Trying to remember what my friend Caity had but cannot! The views are okay but you see the tops of buildings and it's not the best view to be honest. Now their dranks! This is what got us, we all loved our drank! Try the kombucha, the watermelon beer, not sure if that's seasonal but it was really good. Overall it's a nice spot to pop in a get drinks and those wings if you like them dry and lil toasty! read more

Sunday lunch with the cuzzos which conveniently included football. No complaints here. We got there just in time to pony up to the bar. Bartender was AWESOME!!! She was friendly and attentive. You know locals come just to hang with her. Cuzzos ordered their beers, I stuck to H2o. We ordered chicken sliders, chicken strips with fries, burger and fried pickles. Noshes we're good but service was great. We'll be back for sure! read more

Such an awesome spot full rooftop bar lots of different levels and a little bit of a maze but in a good way that in a group or just by yourself you could have some privacy. We saw a couple doing school work on their lap tops. We went with a group of 8 and easily found a table for us to sit at. The beer selection was great with lots of win options too. The bar tender was so sweet you could try and beer and very helpful! Great pricing too! read more

The salad was really good with the avo and pepitas. The server offered prompt service and the vibes were on when we were there for sunset brews on the roof! The only improvement I would suggest would be better quality romaine. There was a lot of big white tough chunks read more

OB Brewery - Senor Caesar Salad - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

Review is solely for their happy hour which we stumbled upon while walking around the area. They had the most variety in their happy hour menu then other places we saw. Place is casual and they have an upstairs with a view, but no shade. You order first and then they bring the food to you which makes the service go quicker, IMO. The wings were so good that we ordered another! The nachos was a big plate and yummy as well. It was a successful happy hour and we left satisifed. Would definitely come back again. read more

OB Brewery - All on happy hour menu! Honey siracaha wings, veggie rolls, and chicken nachos - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

I got a chance to finally visit for the first time a few days ago. The building is rustic with multiple stories and two serving locations. One is the ground floor, and one is up top. The servers were all really nice to talk with and had some good suggestions. I went with the house Whole Hand Point Agave Milk Stout and a Toked to be here West Coast IPA. Both were really good. Easy to drink and great for their styles. I didn't get to try any food, but they have a good menu. For a cool place to have a drink, this is the place. read more

The upstairs bartender wouldn't let me even try a tiny sample of the sour beer because they said they're on their last keg and the brewery it came from was going out of business. That's pretty lame considering I was obviously planning on buying a drink anyway. So I ended up spending $10 on a really gross beer that I wouldn't have otherwise ordered had they just let me try it. The table next to me ordered nachos and they were told after they paid for them that was there was no cheese for the nachos. Who runs out of the most essential ingredient for nachos, but still lets someone order them? The rooftop view is great but I didn't appreciate the frosty attitude of the bartender. I was going to also eat here but decided against it based on my experience that day. read more

Amazing service all around! Bartender was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Super chill and good hangout spot to catch up with friends and enjoy the weather/view. Didn't order food this time but will definitely be back. read more

The beer here is expensive and nothing special, but the view from the rooftop can't be beat.

So my friend wanted to check out this brewery so we headed there and paid for parking(street parking is limited and like playing the lotto). We went up to the rooftop and found a spot in the back. I went wandering and was able to scoop a spot after a couple left. We grabbed some beers and ordered food. The wings were sriracha honey with ranch dressing. The wings had the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. They were also tender and truly hit the spot. My friend enjoyed the chicken sandwich and truly enjoyed the thin cut fries. A nice place to check out, do give it a try. read more

This place had a great view, good beer, and mixed food. I'd definitely recommend it because the rooftop is a great spot to enjoy a beer with an ocean view, and I liked (didn't love) their beers, but the food was definitely mixed. On one hand, the fish and chips were good, but they were too greasy and the seasoning was basically just a bunch of old bay and they were incredibly salty. And the fried pickles were also way too salty and greasy, and they stuck together so they were difficult to eat. But on the other hand, the mahi tacos with the habanero cilantro cream sauce were literally some of the best fish tacos we've ever had. So be weary of the standard greasy pub fare, but their beer and less greasy dishes are good paired up with their general vibes. read more

Yooo this place + good weather = super chill. Rooftop is such a good vibe!! Food looked amazing and its Dog friendly too! 10/10 recommend heading up to the roof for an ocean view and some sunshine !! It's 3 floors, every floor has a bar and it's awesome! Second floor has foosball and shuffleboard and roof has tons of tables and a bar so you don't have to walk downstairs. The hop on board beer rocks!! read more

We met some friends at the OB Brewery for lunch. We'd been before, but had never eaten here before. We started downstairs where the lovely and talented Megan was behind the bar. We placed our drink and food orders. Megan poured my beer and had to grab a seltzer for Becky. No seltzer on tap, only canned Topo Chico :-( At least that's better than White Claw. Bex is so over White Claw. She handed us a number to place on our table. We headed up the three flights of stairs to the top floor. The open rooftop patio with the great views. The four of us found a great spot with views of the water and of Newport Ave for some excellent people watching. A short while later our food arrived. Wow! What great food at OB Brewery! Between the four of us we ordered: *House-Made chips and salsa $8 House-made Salsa Fresca served with House-fried tortilla chips. Add house-made queso dip for 3 bucks extra. Fantastic housemade chips! The salsa was not very spicy but super flavorful. The queso dip was money! Ooey, gooey, spicy deliciousness! *OB Brewery Beer Wings $16 House Beer Soaked and Fried Crispy, Choice of the following: Spicy Buffalo & Blue Cheese, Sriracha Honey with Ranch, Garlic Parmesan or BBQ with Ranch We chose Sriracha. Simply put, some of the best wings we've ever had. *Onion Rings $8 Fried Onion Rings served with Jalapeño Ranch. I ordered these because the Jalapeño Ranch intrigued me. The rings were outstanding! The Jalapeño Ranch was too. *Pollo Caliente Sliders $13 3 Fried Chicken Sliders with Habanero-Basil Aioli, Lettuce Tomato, Pepper Jack Cheese and Pickles. Hands down some of the best sliders ever. Chicken or otherwise. Easily way better than some beef or pulled pork sliders I've had. The chicken tenders were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the interior. The little brioche buns were excellent. As was the Habanero-Basil Aioli. Loved the addition of the pickles. *Mozzarella Sticks $9 Six breaded and fried mozzarella sticks served with zesty marinara. Certainly not the frozen variety from Costco. They were soo good. Piping hot with a great cheese-pull. Yummy marinara too! *Habanero Basil Burger $19 Angus Beef Patty (6 oz) on a Ciabatta Bun, Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Habanero Jack Cheese, Sun-dried Tomato Aioli (with bacon added). Served with French Fries. Didn't try it, but our friends loved it! Oh yeah! We're coming back. (Psst: please put a hard seltzer on tap - not mango) read more

Great spot in OB to chill What I ate: - Chicken nachos. Small plate, but honestly just right for me to enjoy while I drank my beers. Was is the best nachos I've ever had? No, but they're nachos. What's not to like? Pros: - Location, right on that main street in OB, pretty central spot - Views: They knew what they were doing making this a multi-level brewery. I sat on the roof. While it was cold when I went, it was nice to get that ocean area and see the beach. Chill atmosphere. That roof is a great spot to enjoy the sunset - Bathrooms were clean - Lot of different nooks and crannies to sit and enjoy your beer. I think I remember seeing some games on different levels Cons: - Weirdish stairs going up to the roof. Be careful walking up with your beers Would I come again? Sure read more

It won me over immediately with how dog-friendly the place is. From the moment we walked in, it felt welcoming not just for us, but for our pups too. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall spot, but in the best way -- cozy, laid-back, and still really nice with its own unique charm. The beers were delicious and hit the spot, and although we didn't order food this time, everything coming out of the kitchen looked so good that we'll definitely be trying it next visit. The vibe was fun and relaxed, with a cute atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The establishment was clean and well kept, and even the bathrooms were spotless, which always says a lot. The rooftop bar was especially cool and added an extra layer of character to the place. We had such a great time overall. After a long day at the dog beach, it was the perfect spot for my dogs to rest and unwind while we enjoyed a drink. The servers were polite, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the experience even better. It's the kind of place you're happy you found -- and one we'll definitely be coming back to! read more

Do you want an excellent local bar experience with top notch service? Stop in on the first floor and see Megan H. and hop a seat at the comfy bar or one of several tables.

This is a great spot in Ocean Beach. We love stopping in here for a quick brew and snack when we are in the area. It's perfect after a couple hours on the beach. The kids love their fries. We haven't tried the rest of their food yet, but it sounds pretty good. Their beer is always pretty good and there's always something new to try. The service is good. You order at the bar, grab your drinks, and then they bring the food to where you end up sitting. A great spot to give a try. Pros: *Good beer *Food options *Good French fries *Quick service *Lots of seating Cons: *Can be loud read more

We LOVE OB Brewery! (Or "OBB" as I call it). Always has a game on, kid and dog friendly and has awesome food (the chicken nachos, wings, fish and chips, and mahi tacos are all highly recommend!). They also have lots of local of beer, cider, and kombucha selections on tap. There is also a beer garden with ping pong, indoor area, and a rooftop bar and seating area with killer views!!! The staff is also amazing. Working on Newport brings an "array" or characters, let's just say, but the workers always remain professional and light hearted regardless of the situation. I appreciate that as a frequent patron (and as someone who's worked on Newport as well!) Keep up the good work OBB - we need places like you so our community keeps thriving!!! read more

Cool three story restaurant / bar located right off Ocean Beach. We sat on the top floor with our dog and could watch the ocean and the street below. They had self serve waters, which makes it quick and easy to get a refill whenever needed. There is also a fuse ball table on the second floor, and bars located on both the bottom and top floor. The bathrooms aren't the greatest! We got the Mahi Mahi Tacos, Onion Rings, Chicken Tenders, and a Cheeseburger. Everything came out pretty quickly and was pretty tasty. The Mahi Mahi tacos had a tasty, decent-sized piece of fish in each taco. They also had dog bowls for thirsty dogs :) read more

1 star Extremely unprofessional experience. The upstairs bartender's behavior was completely out of line. My wife had accidentally spilled something on her clothes and went to the restroom to change into another outfit. The bartender came in, visibly irritated about waiting, and said to her in a harsh tone, "Are you even a customer? Because you definitely just changed." Her demeanor was aggressive -- she raised her voice, took a confrontational stance, and acted as if she was looking for an argument. It made the situation unnecessarily tense and uncomfortable for everyone nearby. This type of behavior is unacceptable for someone representing a business. There are plenty of other great places in the area where staff treat customers respectfully -- I'd recommend choosing one of those instead. read more

One of the bartenders literally tried to fight me for trying to use the bathroom as a customer. Ridiculous. don't ever come here. This was one of my favorite spots because I loved the roof, but I will gladly never come back here. Pizza port just down the street is the best place to get beer anyways. read more

Cold, crisp beers on a rooftop with an ocean view? Sign me up. We stopped into OB Brewery to quench our thirst, ordering at the bar on the first floor and taking our beers up to the rooftop. There's a good amount of shaded and non-shaded seating and we saw lots of people with dogs. There's also indoor seating downstairs and a room with some games like shuffleboard. Overall such a cool vibe. They also serve food but we'll have to try that next time. read more

Off the main tourist radar in San Diego is OB Brewery, in the wonderful beach area of Ocean Beach. It's only a few blocks from the beach, and the main allure is the rooftop patio with views of the ocean & pier in the distance. I tried some mozzarella sticks and a fried chicken sandwich. The mozzarella sticks (2.5/5) were hearty, but of a standard frozen food service variety without much flavor. The chicken sandwich (3.5/5) was decent and tasty, served on a great brioche bun which elevated the sandwich experience. The fries served with the sandwich were fresh, but otherwise average. The Yelp check in offer for a beer sampler was honored, and the wheat beer sampled was solid. The service and atmosphere (4.5/5) is what elevated the overall experience as the staff was extremely laid back, yet cordial and friendly. I'd recommend a visit to OB Brewery as it has some great vibes and it's always a treat to have a meal or drinks with peaceful ocean views. read more
