    Amazing brewery with lots of great beers and employees. The appetizers are so delicious, especially the empanadas. Lot's of outdoor seating and great views of the area.

    I'll come down from LA just for Pure Project and I can't go down to San Diego without making a stop at one of their locations. That's how much I enjoy their beers. I've been going since they were limited to their Miramar location. Having been to all of their locations at this point they're all very beautiful. We end up visiting the Carlsbad location the most, as it's the most convenient location on our way up and down from LA. Perfect place to get some food around the area and have a drink before picking up a case to take home. They have a great and varied selection of beers for everyone. I'm a big IPA fan so I tend to lean towards their Diamond Dust as my favorite from their core line. Their specialty releases and collabs are always a hit. Their beers are all uniquely flavored, you can really taste the different elements to their offerings If it's your first time, their flight deals are a great way to try all of their selections. Feel free to ask the staff on recommendations as well. This location has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and very clean. It's the perfect place to grab a drink and take some to-go as well. Excellent vibes all around Definitely one of my favorite breweries!

    Cool brewery. Good beer and cider. Nice place to hang out and they have a membership that seems cool.

    I love Pure Project Carlsbad. It is always a vibe. Great people and beerkeeps. The service is great. They are always so friendly and positive. Walking distance to the beach. Their address is 2825 State St., Carlsbad, CA 92008. The E.T. Fonio Home was cold and refreshing. It's a Belgian-style witbier with lemon and orange blossom. It is 5.0% ABV. It's on the light side. I also had perezoso. It is a hard smoothie with mango and blueberry. I love Pure Project smoothie beer. They are so refreshing on a hot day. Check it out if you're in Carlsbad. They also have locations throughout San Diego.

    The #1 Brewery/Tap room in the World & hands down the BEST Hazy ever!! Have a Diamond Dust @Pure Project & your soul with thank you!! & have a sweet corn & basin empanada for a snack and your will be set!

    Lauryn was great. She was extremely knowledgeable about the 10 different beers we tried with our flights. Thank you!

    I walked from my hotel and it was anlovely walk!. 5 tasters on the flight. Lots of bottle options and barrel aged variety as well. The service was kind and helpful. Just very fast paced! They are crowded on a rainy day and they expedite the line fast! So be ready and know what you want. I actually got out of line and went to the end so I had more time to think lol This place is crowded but cozy. Lots of people and if your introverted you may feel overwhelmed. I really enjoyed my flight and even took a few to go. I would come again but next time, I think I'll come in the daylight.When it's sunny, so there's a little more room to stretch out.

    PPC is a real gem. It's a cool vibe room with indoor and open patio seating. The staff here are always exceedingly excellent. They all take pride in the beers and service. Been here a few times and it's always the same. The beers are world class and diverse. From light to hoppy to murkey to sours to stouts and barrel aged. You can't go wrong. Pure is slightly under the rader, but IYKYK 100%

    We have been going to this place for years, great ambiance even better beer selections. Service is superb where all of the staff are very friendly and inviting. Dont think twice, come here and have a good time.

    Pure Project is one of my favorite spots in Carlsbad and one of the better breweries in the area. Their quality is unmatched, and I'm always impressed by the selection. I love that there are always plenty of spots to sit, and service is always chill and friendly. Definitely worth stopping here if you're in Carlsbad!

    Remi and Cole took good care of us here on a warm spring day. Our first time at this location didn't disappoint.

    What a fun place. They have an amazing selection of beers but they also have a yummy and varied…read moremenu. They had great specials on the Saturday night we went. It has a bit of a sports bar atmosphere but it is not truly a sports bar (they have the t.v.'s on playing sports but it doesn't have the sports bar feel. We saw families and dogs and friends and couples - so it is a place for all people. I love that it has two big openings to the outside so it doesn't feel stuffy inside. Our server was very friendly and patient but could have been a bit more attentive once we got our food as we ran out of napkins and water and had to flag her down. I had the lamb burger special and it was truly to die for. If I hadn't worried about being too full I could have eaten another because it was so good. I think this should be a regular menu item. It was cooked perfectly and it was truly mouthwatering with all the toppings. Usually I hate buns but this bun was so soft and squishy and NOT dry that I gobbled it down. It came with a side and I was a little disappointed because it lists the sides on the menu and a side salad was one of them but when I got the bill it was extra for the side salad. When I asked she said there is an upcharge for the side salad (which was not noted on the menu). But the salad was great too so no problem! One friend had the pizza which I would not rate as an amazing pizza (I am an East Coaster so I am a pizza snob) but my friend loved it. They had some very cool toppings for their pizzas too. If you are going to go for a really good pizza I wouldn't go here. Come here for the other stuff on the menu. My other friend had the fish and chips and loved it. The portions were all very good sized. I am looking forward to returning - especially if I can get that lamb burger again.

Mind you we've been going to the Encinitas Ale House location for years and were hopeful that it was the same as what the staff told us in Encinitas. - it is not. This was so bad. I would never come back here again. Overcooked fried fish tacos, overdone French fries and Caesar like "salad in a bag". Our server was immediately not interested in us when we did not order alcohol and then never offered or refilled our water even one time. Big location. It was not packed so there was zero excuse for how bad it was.

    Great service and food! We were nearby at the Museum of Making Music and decided to stop here for…read morelunch. It was a Saturday afternoon and we were able to sit right away at some high tops near the bar. I ordered a burger and my husband got the wings. We loved the food! He also got a flight of 4 beers to give everything a try since we are visiting and have never been here. The burger was pretty big and very flavorful, I left feeling very full. It also came with fries that were seasoned well and weren't soggy. We came back at the end of our trip to get a case of the beer to bring home with us, that's how much my husband liked it. Everyone we interacted with on both days were very nice and helpful! This was a great place and I thought the prices were pretty good.

    We had a party of 8 and unfortunately the service was terrible from start to finish…read more Before ordering, we asked for our checks to be split into groups of 2 adults and 2 kids each. One check included pretzels, mac & cheese, a salad, buffalo wings, and a beer. Our check was supposed to include pretzels (for our kids to share), shrimp tacos (for my husband and me to share), and a beer. When our food arrived, the pretzels for our kids never came out. It didn't make sense that our check only had shrimp tacos and a beer--were our kids just supposed to sit there without food? Not once did our waitress come back to check on us or ask if everything was okay. Eventually, a busser walked by and we asked him about the missing pretzels. He said he would find our waitress, but instead a different waitress came over and actually asked if she had been the one who took our order because she couldn't remember. She said she'd check on the pretzels, but after another 15 minutes, my husband had to get up and tell her that if they weren't ready, to just forget it. A few minutes later, she finally brought them out. After that, no one checked on our table again. We had to track someone down just to get our bill, and we never saw our original waitress for the rest of our meal. Overall, this was some of the worst service we've experienced. It wasn't just the forgotten food--it was the complete lack of communication and attention to our table. We won't be returning, and unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant based on our experience.
