The beers are fantastic and you can tell they put thought into what they offer. The vibe inside is really cool and kind of feels like an old church, which makes it stand out from a typical bar. It is also right next to a pizza spot, so if you get hungry you can order food and enjoy it with your beer. Always a solid experience and I will definitely be back again.

The salad and fries sides were generous. Parking in front of the restaurant is limited and shared with car repair but there is a pay lot on the corner. I have a feeling evenings are more raucous. There is a club that provides mini lockers with a plaque for personal beer mugs. The city of DelMar needs to trim some plants partially blocking the lagoon view.

We saw her take food orders for other people even though we let her know that we were ready. She finally came to take our order. Never came back after our food arrived. We asked other waiters for missing food items or drink refills. One male waiter was very nice and helpful. We were very disappointed at our waitress. We finally figured out that she knew the gratuity was automatically added to our bill so she could offer us minimal assistance. The views are great and we had a nice time despite her bad service.

If I could give 20 stars, I would! The Bier Garden in Encinitas has never disappointed me. Every…read moredish I've tried has been amazing. The cornbread is hands-down the best and a must-order every single visit! So far I've had the Poke N Chips, BG Bones, and grilled cheese with tomato soup, and every single item has been flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. It's rare to find a place where everything on the menu is consistently this good. The atmosphere is always great, the food is outstanding, and it's become one of my favorite spots in Encinitas. Whether you're stopping by for drinks, lunch, or dinner, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend I'll definitely be back for more cornbread!

My mother and I came here for lunch on a Tuesday in June. We both received burgers, she asked for…read moreonion rings instead of fries and I asked for a Caesar salad instead of fries. My burger had very little flavor. The meat was dry, it was still edible just wouldn't order it again. The Caesar salad was fantastic!!!! The lettuce was amazing and the dressing was absolutely delicious. My mother ordered the fig burger with a side of onion rings and instead she got fries and there was no goat cheese on the burger. However she still loved the burger. Also all the pictures online show that they have WAFFLE FRIES - THEY DO NOT. The service was good and they were helpful in fixing the issues with the onion rings. Ambiance is very loud being right on the 101 but it's not terrible.

Santana Burger medium rare was 5 stars all the way, and the fruits that accompanied it were damn…read moregood as well. The Kern brewing Chuuuch IPA was also 5 stars for my taste buds. And our server was fantastic. So why, you might ask, only 4 stars in my review. Two reasons: 1). Management has prohibited giving a splash of a beer for someone to sample. Bottom line is that I wanted to order a pint of beer, but I wanted a splash of a couple of beers to try to make my decision. They refused, saying that one must buy a 5oz taster if one wants to taste the beer. I find that policy offensive. In the end I bought a taster to taste the Chuuurch, and then bought an additional pint after. It just seems nickel and dimey, and would be asking to an ice cream place not allowing one to sample their ice creams before buying a cone. I hope management reconsiders this policy. 2. My wife got the Hot Mess Fries and was disappointed not only in the flavor, but also in the misleading advertising. On the menu it specifically said that there was bacon in the fries, but in fact what they put on the fries was either chunks of ham or "Canadian bacon" (which as we all know is a very different thing from "bacon"). If they were or of regular bacon, the kitchen should have told the server this so he could have asked her if she wanted ham as a substitute. And, of they always use ham instead of bacon, them the menu needs to be changed to reflect that.

I was even on the Leucadian Bar softball team for a season well I decided to stop by today to play couple games of pool I found out you can shoot pool for FREE on TUESDAYS also the pool players that go there are serious fun players. 2 badass players Cindy K &Bracc(I hope I got their names correct?) impressed the hell out of me with their pool playing&I also enjoyed the conversations. I WILL go back for more of that fun real soon. I have to SHOUT OUT to the bartender Clair as well she had the bar looking clean she was kind and accommodating. I didn't notice the back of the bar until I was driving off but looked like a bbq maybe possibly bands can play but I bet it's fun back there when it's hop'n I will find out next time I go

I'll admit it was a little bit of a culture shock when I walked in. Albums for sale, food, coffee, and more of a lounge feel than the classic San Diego brewery setup I'm used to. I guess that explains the fancier name. I liked it though. Good place to sit, people watch, and catch the traffic near the station. There were plenty of Padres fans rolling through that day, which added to the energy. The beer is still Modern Times, still cold, and still refreshing. Fun spot.

I was honestly blown away by Modern Times Bar. The atmosphere and overall vibe of the place were…read morefantastic--such a cool spot to hang out. When I visited there was a party happening, but the staff still made a point to take care of everyone. Multiple bartenders checked in with me throughout the night to see if I needed anything, which really stood out. I ordered the dry cider, which was the only cider available at the time. I would have loved to see a few more cider options, but the one they had was still really delicious. I also got a flatbread pizza and it was excellent--perfect as an appetizer or even a light dinner. There's plenty of seating and the ambiance makes it a great place to relax and spend some time. This will definitely be a must-stop spot for me anytime I'm back in the area.

Here, you can get up to five different beers in one flight although you don't have to get all five. I tried one lighter one (2 AM Tacos--Mexican lager) and it was refreshing and delicious. I also tried four heavier, more alcoholic ones: Black's Peach (sour ale--it was sour indeed), Drink This or the Bees Die (Golden Honey--not bad), Sasquack (Belgian--very good), and St. Alfonsos (Imperial Stout at 12.8 ABV--this one was absolutely outstanding but better have a designated driver with you). This place is kid friendly and definitely dog friendly. In fact, there were probably more dogs than humans during our visit and I'm not complaining. Dogs are better than people, as we know. This was on a Friday night and the place was absolutely slammed, which was nice to see. No food available but you can bring in your own grub. Good luck with parking--either free street or residential parking are your only options. Excellent addition to Leucadia. This is a good spot.
