    5-beer flight (from left to right): Diamond Dust, Thousands of Money, Encrypted Sequence, Planifola, and Phoenix Nox
    Tim L.

    Somehow Pure Project flew under the radar for me until recently. I stopped into the North Park location and was blown away by the location itself and, of course, the beer. I did a 5-beer flight that included (from left to right) Diamond Dust, Thousands of Money, Encrypted Sequence, Planifola, and Phoenix Nox. Out of the lot, my two favorites were Encrypted Sequence and Phoenix Nox. Staff were friendly and prompt, there was ample seating, and they had pizza being cooked onsite. If you enjoy quality craft beer and good vibes, Pure Project is the place!

    This place is so fun, it is half in and half outside but the walls are like garage doors so it was nice and cool inside. There was plenty of seating around and they had fun seats. There were couches, rocking chairs, swinging chairs, fire pit seats, bar stools. I loved how open the space felt. This place was also dog friendly, they had dog bowls available and dog treats. All the drink I tried were delicious. They had a nice variety of options including beer, ciders, and even an alcoholic smoothie. They even have a flight option so you can try many different drinks. This is such a great place to gather with friends and catch up.

    Visited on a Sunday around 1:30pm with two friends, bar wasn't too busy maybe 10-12 guest. Was able to grab a seat by one of the fire pits. Great variety and selection of beers and ample seating. Ordered a flight with five 5oz pours got the pilsner, black lager, an IPA and two sours. Solid all about not major stand outs. Service was solid easy order at the bar and they pour your order and you grab a seat. Nice outdoor indoor beer bar with fun seating options and relaxed vibes, tasters were on the pricey end our total was about $25 for the 5 pours we got.

    I'll just start by saying that I trust any place that has Stellar pretzels. This is such a cute spot though. Love all the seating, covered and not covered. Solid selections of beers as well as a few wines. There are some snacks available as well as URBN pizza booth there Wed-Sun. Parking is the only tough thing here but other than that; it's a great spot for meeting with friends or a cute little date night.

    I meant to leave a review last time but am sad to find I forgot. Well, time to make up for it this time. Absolutely fabulous beer, ambiance, and service. I found myself in love with the BA sours, especially the reds, but the seem to excel in every style, which is certainly a feat. As such, I find myself grabbing a flight to have a bit of everything while taking a seat in the indoor-outdoor-park feeling setup. Perfect place to just relax, and pretty inspiring for late night painting.

    Absolutely great location. Huge outdoor area with heaters/coolers and TVs along with multiple indoor spots. Solid bar seating, great staff, and a really nice rotation of craft brews. Really joyed the stouts and hazies this go around.

    My favorite brewery. Every time I visit San Diego I make the time to come here. I visited a few other Pure Project locations but this one in North Park is my favorite. I love this location. Their outdoor patio is fantastic with plenty of tables places to sit. They also have a indoor seating area as while. Service has aways been friendly and polite. As for their beer. I love their pretty much all their Murky IPA's ,West Coast IPA's and thier collab with other breweries. Besides that, thier slushie, sours, smoothies and bourbon stouts are also great. Parking can be a challenge to find. There's only street parking. If you love beer I highly recommend visiting Pure Project Brewing and enjoy that delicious beer of tap. Can't wait for our next visit. Cheers!!!

    I don't drink beer but I come with my boyfriend and our friends cause it's one of our favorite spots and I love their cabernet! I wish they had hard kombuchas, though.

    Beer for good.

    Best IPAs in town. Nobody beats their Murky double and triple IPAs. Hands down a beer lovers paradise!

    My friend and I had a wonderful time at this brewery. I loved that there were outdoor seating and fire pits!

    A friend was having a bday party and they read we'd a large space which was nice. The atmos is great. It's 90% outside so be prepared. Drinks are good and the service team is very friendly. A nice place to chill and relax.

    Funny enough, my first visit they were doing a glass drop! So that was a fun bonus. I love how this one location is set up. Beautiful setup with the patio outside. Lots of picnic tables and places to sit under shade. There was a food truck / table set up in the back. There is also a small inside area with a long bar. The menu was pretty similar to the Balboa location. Here are the beers I tried: Prismatic Charm: dragon fruit and banana, my absolute favorite Murky Poetry: Mellow, light hop body Lavender Haze: Needs more ube flavor. Tastes the bitter from the orange. Small floral notes from the lavender. Coastal Ties: Hoppy, smooth

    I've been a fan of their beers for years now. I've visited the Miramar location plenty of times, but this is my first time at the North Park location. The people here were friendly and there seems to be a good selection on tap at all times. During this visit, they had a very delicious barrel-aged stout that I really enjoyed. My cousin who is with me isn't a huge beer drinker, but she really enjoyed their seltzers. I really like this location because it has a more open design with lots of seating in the courtyard at benches. The vibe is really chill here and they also have some TVs. Just a great location if you wanna hang out with people and drink beers, but also fantastic location especially if you were a fan of the brewery.

If you get there early enough, parking there is easy. Once inside you have the option of indoor bar or regular table seating and a big plus is the upstairs patio. All dog-friendly. In fact, I saw many dogs there and the staff are so friendly to them. The casual laid-back feel is great for groups, big and small and they have a pretty great menu available. My favorite is the happy hour from Wed-Sun! The drink menu is also varied with beer, wine, wine spritz and non-alcoholic. And every time I've been here, service has been quick, including taking our orders and food coming out. This visit was for happy hour where I ordered the duck confit gravy fries, classic burger & mini spritz blood moon. The only thing I'd critique on is I wish there was more gravy on the fries but other than that everything was delicious and prices were just right. The other super cute thing I wanted to mention is their glassware. Some of the beer glasses have dogs on them which once again shows their dog-friendliness and I wanted to take one home!

After an impromptu business day trip, a friend and I made our way to The Original 40 Brewing Co. for lunch and brewery exploration. Relatively close to a recently-acquired investment property, this brewery was on my to-visit list. Named for the original 40-acre parcel of land John "Jack" Hartley bought in 1893 that became modern day North Park, San Diego, longtime business owners and residents Steve and Patricia Billings opened The Original 40 Brewing Company in late 2019. Since then, they became a foundation in the neighborhood and one of several breweries that could be visited on a walking tour. Would we enjoy the beers at this not-so "OG" brewery!? PURCHASE(S) The Original 40 Brewing Co. Undeniable Wealth IPA Beer 7.1% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.50): Hazy amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, light body, citrusy hoppy juicy flavor, crisp drying finish, and bitter citrusy hoppy aftertaste. This was my favorite of the two because I felt it had more flavor nuances. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=VIK8dHZ_WYsdvvv87bjHtQ Bleu Cheese And Caramelized Onion Burger & Fries ($19.00): I wasn't a fan of bleu cheese, but the grilled onions I smelled when someone ordered this sold me on it. With its thick juicy patty covered in bleu cheese crumbles and aromatic onions, this two-hander melted in your mouth and may offend people you spoke with. The fries were crispy, hot, and plentiful. This was a killer meal! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=XXDV_H27Ajm1gytoSQee5w The Original 40 Brewing Co.

The shrimp was juicy and plump, the vegetables crispy and fresh, while the crema and salsa added a nice flavorful touch. These were simple and tasty! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=MNPhs0rRUcmQN9R2TR1GRg SERVICE We were warmly greeted by the gentleman behind the bar.

Soon enough, we placed our orders at the bar, given a table number, our drinks were ready in seconds, and the food came out in less than ten minutes. We were checked on and gladly ordered more drinks and food while our table was cleared. Everything was awesome - cheers!

OVERALL We enjoyed The Original 40 Brewing Co. and would plan another visit to try more of the over 20 beers on tap. The two beers I had were good but didn't stand out while the food was wonderful, the prices were a tad high, and the service was straightforward. Furry family members were allowed! I believed they had happy hour specials and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more was available. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $55.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
