I love this place. I think I really love a cold beer on the rooftop overlooking the pier. The beer could be shit and I'd probably still love it given the atmosphere but luckily the beer is good and the bartenders are nice. read more

This review is strictly for the idiot owner. You don't need "Groupons" to save your ass from going out of business entirely, all you need to do is get rid of your completely incompetent cook and bartender. Thirty minutes for a burger and onion rings, (onions the careless cook forgot to prepare) within the 30 minutes I was waiting, it was 8:24 PM and there were no customers, (Don't take my word for it dude, go check your receipts). No customers for you, on Ocean Fucking Beach no less, 8:24 pm to 9:04 PM, There were absolutely no customers for you. How cool is that Mr. Groupon Man? I continued to order a slice or two of Avacado with the burger, (here you need to think upsale, but it doesn't matter, either way, I never received the fuken avocado. I also order a Philly steak sandwich too, but never received it, and was not charged for it, (I noticed this error while I waited 30 minutes for a burger to arrive; how so very unfortunate for you, the owner. Money walking out the door. In my case, you definitely lost $20.00 plus the ones who read this review will also cost you money. Groupon will not bail ur ass out of this dude! Imagine for a moment how many other customers and money is walking out the door too? In short, your cashier and cook are fukin you in the azz. You lazy idiot. read more

We chose this place because of the rooftop view of the ocean at sunset. It was very nice only slight obstructions from electric lines. They had decent greasy burgers. The service was excellent. The beer was tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and grungy, not really my scene, but decent enough for the activities of that particular day. read more

Came here to have a drink before dinner. Sat up on the rooftop to watch the rooftop. It's a little grimey, reminds me of a college bar. The plastic glass obstructs the view of the sunset and needs a good clean. Beer menu on their website was incorrect, had a lot smaller selection. Stayed for a drink watched the sunset and moved on. read more

Cool spot to hang out and enjoy a beautiful day. Grabbed some lunch and sat outside on the top floor. I had the shrimp tacos which were really good and very flavorful. Our table shared the chips and salsa of which I was not a fan. The chips were super hard and tasted stale and the salsa had a strange spice that did not go very well. I would get the tacos again though! read more

OB brewery is located on a pretty lively street! There are 3 levels - bottom floor with the beer garden and coffee shop attached (coffee shop open mornings only), second level with minimal seating, and the rooftop with a bar and amazing views! You can rent out the rooftop for events as well. The Hop on Board IPA is my favorite and so smooth for IPA lovers. The Roxy street tacos were a little spicy with the jalapeños added in. It comes with 3 (2 pictures because I ate 1 too quick!) and they are pretty filling for a traditional 'street taco.' The burger and salad were tasty. The salad looks small but adding a meat added more flavor. The fries with the burger will need to be shared because it's very filling! Beautiful rooftop view right near the beach/pier! read more

I stopped by OB Brewing for a late lunch/early happy hour. They offer a full menu of American favorites along with their in-house and guest beers from across San Diego. I tried their red holiday IPA and their porter and they were both excellent. I tried the spicy fish tacos and they were decent. Not the spiciest, but the portion was generous and everything tasted fresh. The rooftop bar has lovely views of the ocean, don't miss that! read more

Great view! I've visited a handful of times and have had consistent experiences. The beer is great, the food is good, and the service is good. There hasn't been any standout food, but I know I'll enjoy a snack there any time I go. The pickle poppers were spicy/very seasoned - I wasn't exactly expecting that considering they come with jalapeño ranch! Honestly, go for the view. I love how you can see OB and the beach and have the choice of sunshine or shade during the day. There are games on the second floor. It is counter service on the first floor, so you carry your beer up and they bring the food to you. The servers are always nice and it's a comfortable, chill environment. Overall, I would definitely visit again. read more

We were looking for a casual place to eat in OB and found the OB Brewery. We're glad we did! Here is what we noticed: - We ordered on the first floor, grabed our beers, and then found a place to eat on the top level. When you order, you get a number and they deliver your food to your table. It took a while, but we weren't in any hurry and enjoyed just sitting in the sun with our beers for a while. - Great seating on the roof level, amazing views, and really fun casual vibe - Excellent selection of beers! - Diverse casual menu. I had the salmon sandwich B.L.A.S.T., which was so good. My wife had the Roxy Street Shrimp Tacos, and I got to eat one...it was also really good. My son had the Cilantro Burger and my daughter--both liked their food too. Bottom line: Great casual place in OB..if we lived closer, I would go there often! read more

Another 5 star experience at OB brewery this past Sunday. My friend called earlier in the week to reserve a space for her birthday and they roped off a large section of the roof for us, which was so nice. We trickled in and out all day but had a nice size group and had plenty of space to sit and walk around and chat. We also had a bar and bartender upstairs so we didn't have to keep going downstairs to order. And they kept all our tabs open but separate. Beautiful day on the roof for a Sunday Funday. read more

Specialties

The goal of Ocean Beach Brewery is to craft a distinctly local beer that is as much a testament to the community around us as it is to the art of craft brewing. It is our intent to present craft beers that are innovative in spirit and a cause for pleasent contemplation, while our three-story, rustic-tasting room provides an inspirational view of Ocean Beach; a combination that invokes a sense of enjoyment that is unparalelled on Newport Avenue. Every aspect of Ocean Beach Brewery is an experiment in artistry with Ocean Beach as our exclusive muse.

I will definitely drop in again to enjoy the lovely outdoor seating and pleasant atmosphere.

I don't frequent San Diego, so this was a special occasion for me. I was excited that they were able to accommodate my 8:30 p.m. reservation. In fact, it meant so much to me that I even canceled our sunset cruise so we could enjoy dinner there. We arrived on time and were immediately impressed by the beautiful ambiance. I asked one of the hostesses if it would be possible to be seated on the rooftop because of the beautiful lights everyone raves about. She told me there was a waitlist but promised she would continue checking since it was my birthday. Unfortunately, that's where the experience began to decline. Our waitress greeted us initially, but as the evening went on, we noticed we were receiving very little attention. She only had three tables, all within our view, yet she consistently attended to the other two parties while we were largely ignored. After we finished eating, we sat for over 30 minutes without anyone checking on us or acknowledging that we were ready for our check. To make matters worse, a photographer came through our section taking photos of every table except ours. While that may have been unintentional, combined with everything else that happened, it added to the feeling that we simply didn't matter. Eventually, we asked a concierge to locate our waitress so we could get our check. Fifteen minutes passed, and still no one came. I finally got up myself and walked to the hostess stand to ask for assistance. Only then did a manager come over. I explained how disappointed I was with the service. She apologized and offered complimentary desserts and cocktails, but at that point I had no desire to extend my stay. The issue was never about free food or drinks, it was about how unwelcome we had been made to feel. As a Black woman, that feeling is heartbreaking because you never want to wonder whether you're being treated differently. I can't say with certainty what motivated the treatment we received, but the consistent lack of attention, being overlooked while others around us were served, and how invisible we felt left me questioning whether we truly belonged there. The manager ultimately comped our entire meal, and while I appreciated her taking responsibility financially, no amount of money could erase what should have been a joyful birthday memory. The waitress never returned to our table after the manager became involved. As we left, several staff members stood at the host stand watching us. The manager had promised to bring me her business card but never did. Instead, she simply watched us walk out. I had anticipated an unforgettable birthday dinner for all the right reasons. Instead, it became unforgettable for all the wrong ones. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Born & Raised. Every guest should feel welcomed, valued, and treated with the same level of care and respect. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I had on what was supposed to be a very special night.

It is that good. The second time we went, my friends and I just all ordered the earl grey matcha because we didn't want to share. The store is small so sometimes if the line is long, you have to wait outside. It goes by somewhat quickly. There is seating in the back that looks really nice. There were desserts. We got their sesame cake, it was fine. I would definitely put this place as somewhere to visit. There is street-side parking. If you get lucky, someone already paid for the parking meter.

Between Us

A must-visit if you're in San Diego!…read more We saw this place recommended on TikTok for brunch and decided to give it a try. We ordered the beignets, Matcha Latte Tiramisu, Curry Hamburger, and the U.S. Fried Rice. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout was definitely the beignets! We loved that they were made fresh to order, and the matcha and sesame dipping sauces made them even better. Our server was very friendly and checked in on us throughout our meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for the great service! The restaurant also has plenty of tables, making it a great spot for both small and larger groups. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Diego for brunch! P.S. We came on a Monday around 1 p.m.

The…read moreowners are the same as Thai Time across the street, and they were incredibly kind and welcoming during our visit. We went shortly after they opened, so it was packed--we ended up waiting about an hour for a table, and service was a little slow at first. Since it was their soft opening, I'm hoping things have gotten smoother since then. The food was good overall. Beignets were sooo good! The steak in the shakshuka was cooked well, and while I enjoyed my curry, it was a little sweeter than I expected. There were also a few flies inside since all the windows were open, but nothing too major. Parking is about what you'd expect for North Park--not impossible, but it can take some patience. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The food was enjoyable, the owners were wonderful, and I think this spot has a lot of potential as they continue to settle in.
