I recently just planned my husband's birthday party at the Axe Lair in Upland, and I was looking for a place to eat and drink close by and found Rescue Brewery directly across the street! We had about 26 people, and I was so concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a place that could seat us all on a Saturday evening. I emailed with Alex, the taproom manager, a little less than 2 weeks before the date I wanted, and she told me that they would be able to accommodate us! I was so incredibly relieved! After our axe throwing, we walked the VERY short walk across the street, and Alex and her staff had our tables ready to go for everyone! They made our huge group feel so welcomed and taken care of from the moment we got there! Alex explained to us that the food and drinks are ordered at the registers, which made it so easy and convenient for everyone to not have to worry about doing separate checks for a big group (that can get confusing and messy sometimes). The beers, seltzers, and food were all incredible!!! Even the most particular people in our group raved about how good everything was, and trust me when I say, that is a high compliment! The staff were absolutely incredible as well! They were so knowledgeable about the beers, so patient with our big group, and were just so helpful and kind! Everyone is still talking about how great everything was, and I'm truly so grateful to Alex and the rest of the staff at Rescue Brewing for making my husband's birthday so amazing!! We appreciate you all so much, and we can't wait to come back soon! read more

After a night out in Upland, we decided to look for a brewery nearby and stumbled upon Rescue Brewing Company. I must say, the brewery really stands out with their bright and appealing logo out front. When we went in, the place was packed, but we were able to find a table for the four of us. To our surprise, they didn't just have a huge beer selection--they also offered a large variety of seltzers and cocktails for anyone who wasn't in the mood for beer. I decided to try the Tart of War, and my taste buds were in for a pleasant surprise. This sour beer had delicious notes of strawberry, pineapple, coconut, and vanilla. The brewery had a lot of TVs, which was perfect because I was able to catch the Lakers game that night. The bartenders were super friendly and worked efficiently, even with such a large crowd. The 90's alternative rock playing in the background had all of us nodding along. Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. They also seem to have a happy hour on Wednesdays from 6-9 PM with food and drink specials, which is definitely worth checking out. read more

Visited: 12/30/25 around 9pm First time here and ordered one drink. The service and drink were good. However, there was no announcement of last call. Without any verbal notice, the lights were turned on around 9:30 pm, the slush machine was already empty, and the taps were being shut down. A guest at another table attempted to order a drink and was turned away. Staff then began the full cleaning process, including stacking chairs against the walls, while guests were still trying to enjoy their drinks. While the drink itself was good, shutting down service and cleaning without announcing last call and while guests are still present is poor practice and negatively impacts the experience. read more

Came for drinks and dinner and did not leave disappointed! Everyone I'm at our table loved their drinks and food was great. Our food was piping hot when it got to the table and tasted great. read more

I wanted to give a special shout-out to Lindsay, the bartender at Rescue Brewery during Lemon Festival. She was incredibly attentive, sweet, and genuinely kind throughout the night. She noticed when I needed help without me even having to ask and made sure I was taken care of. Great customer service like hers truly stands out and made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Lindsay, for your warm personality and excellent service! Love Heather read more

Rescue is one of my favorite places! I've somewhat become a regular here. Their seltzers are delicious and the food is yummy! I love the pina colada and raspberry colada seltzers. Also can't go wrong with the steak flatbread or the fries with rescue sauce. Alex and Emma are always friendly and amazing! I even celebrated my birthday here. I love the decor inside with the hanging lights. There's plenty of space inside and parking is typically fairly easy, but you may have to walk a bit. They also have line dancing for Western Wednesdays and it's always so fun! read more

I am such a picky beer drinker that if I find one drinkable i give a place 5 stars. location here is perfect. Smack dab in the heart of old town Upland. there are three breweries all walking distance here. their selection of brews is interesting. They are not afraid to think outside the box. for a refreshing semisweet concoction I enjoyed the Tart of war a sour with Strawbs; pineapple, coconut, vanilla. the udder stout wasn't bad but had a hint of coffee which i don't like but still drinkable for me. the mango tango foxtrot was also really good mango and passionfruit. they have 4 IPA and two Hazies: much to choose from you will find something you like. read more

This place is super nice. Entered the building and was greeted right away. Plenty of places to sit. Ordered any appetizer and a couple of beers. The double hazy and the peppermint stout were excellent. Then ordered lunch which included a large pretzel and the rescue burger. They were both very good. The server was very good and was always there for anything we needed. Loved the inside deco. We will be returning.. read more

If you're in the downtown Upland area, Rescue Brewery is definitely a place you'll want to check out, especially if you're a beer drinker. Rescue always provides great service and a clean, relaxing environment. They have great seltzers and my personal favorite is the sour "Tart of War". I always have had a great experience coming here, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good beer. read more

Rescue Brewery & Gastropub - Tart of War sour! The best! - Breweries Near Me - Upland, California

Honestly, this review is long over due. This used to be our GO TO brewery when we lived in the area, and there are plenty to choose from. But I MUST say that their coconut cream IPA is the standard by which all other IPAs are compared. I've traveled the globe. West coast to East coast USA, north to south USA, as well as Spain, Italy, Greece, England... well you get it... so far, I've only found a handful that compared to the taste, smoothness and ABU of this delicious beverage. They've added the kitchen in the back with great food options. They have trivia night or atleast some fun games for you and your group to play while your there. GO! You won't be disappointed read more

Great place with chill vibes the beer is really good with an expanse taste for your palate. We had the sneak attack which is a triple Belgian beer and a the tart of war sour beer. Both great beers but the tart of war was definitely a winner with tastes from strawberry, pineapple to his full body coconut base ! Try it if your in town! read more

Thank you very much. Hoping to stop by tomorrow after the Tour de Foothills ride for an ice cold beer! read more

I love this brewery. I have been coming here for years. The selection is great. The beer is tasty. The food is top notch especially poké nachos. The staff is very friendly. The only reason I give it 4 is because I didn't know dogs weren't allowed. Mostly every brewery allows pups. Tonight I went in holding my miniature dachshund (wiener dog) and before I could make it 10 steps in I had a staff member run up to me to tell me dogs weren't allowed so I turned around and walked out. She was very polite about it but it still sucked because I was just going in to pick up some beer. She told me it's because they have a kitchen but I'm just curious about the rules. If Lazy dog can allow dogs why can't Rescue?? I'll still come back but I know to leave my dog at home now. read more

The food was great , didn't wait too long , and taco Tuesday for tacos was great as well. Their Belgium beer here is exquisite

Great local brewery in Upland! Came out for date night and had a great time. I ordered a Michelada and my second beer was one of their IPAs. Overall, this place has a fun and lively atmosphere. The food was decent and came out quick. Definitely a place to check out! read more

Rescue Brewery offers a great combination of craft beer and tasty bites, making it a standout local spot in downtown Upland. Their beer selection is diverse, with well-crafted options like the smooth "Mango Blonde" and the rich "Raven Stout." The flavors are bold, balanced, and showcase the brewery's commitment to quality. The food menu is simple but very satisfying, with options like savory pretzels, hearty burgers, and tasty wings that pair perfectly with their brews. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread and their Black and Bleu Burger which were both very delicious. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming. They have a large calendar of events and they are very community oriented as a portion of their proceeds goes back in supporting the first responder community and downtown Upland. Highly recommend. read more

Since the establishment NEVER responded when I emailed them multiple times I am posting my letter. Good afternoon, my name is Elisha, and I wanted to share my experience from this past Saturday at your establishment. I want to provide some personal context so you can better understand the situation. I have been a teacher for over 20 years and have been nominated three times by former students for my district's Teacher of the Year award. I know how to interact with children and pride myself on having a great rapport with them. I am also the mother of two daughters, and when taking them out in public, I've always made it a priority to be respectful to other patrons. As babies, if they cried, I would take them outside to avoid disturbing others, and when they used iPads, they always wore headphones. When I arrived at your brewery on Saturday, I appreciated your posted sign reminding guests that children must remain seated because "it's not a playground." My husband and I were enjoying a beer when a family of four sat behind us. The parents went to place their order, leaving their two young boys alone. Their phones were blaring loudly right behind my ear, and they were not seated. I waited a few minutes, expecting a parent to return, but when none did, I turned to the boys and politely said, "Hey buddy, can you please turn the volume down a bit?" and thanked them. A short while later, the mother returned and aggressively confronted me. She told me not to speak to her children and that if it was too loud, I should have moved. She then said, "Clearly you don't have kids," to which I responded that I do, and mine would have had headphones on. Minutes later, one of her children was moving from chair to chair, and she yelled at me to move my seat. I hadn't moved at all, nor was I blocking him, so I told her that. She then went to speak to a staff member wearing glasses, who reacted with visible disapproval toward me and then informed another staff member (described as heavier set), who came over to me. This staff member approached me aggressively, asking, "Is there a problem???" I explained the situation, but she dismissed my concern, saying, "Parents parent differently," and ignored the brewery's stated policy on children, which is posted on every table. Later, when my husband ordered food, this same staff member chose to speak to him instead of me. After he explained the situation, she told him, "Oh, I can see her doing that--don't worry about it." I found it frustrating and inappropriate that she was willing to discuss it with my husband but not directly with me. I understand there are always multiple sides to any story, but the way this situation was handled was unprofessional and contradictory to your own posted policy regarding children in the establishment. I hope you take this feedback seriously, as it reflects directly on the customer experience and the atmosphere your business promotes. Sincerely, Elisha Hello Alex, I have to correct your account of the situation. The children were not seated at their table as you stated -- they were standing directly beside us with the iPad at full volume, literally in my ear. This is precisely what your posted policy is meant to prevent. The expectation that children remain seated is clearly outlined for safety and guest experience, and in this case, it was not enforced. What I found most troubling was not just the disturbance itself but the way the situation was handled. Instead of addressing the family who was in violation of the policy, I felt as though the burden was shifted onto me for simply asking that the rules of your establishment be followed. That approach felt dismissive and unprofessional, and it created the impression that your policy is optional rather than a standard upheld consistently. As a guest, I should not have been placed in a position where I was made to feel at fault for requesting the very courtesy your policy promises. I hope that moving forward, your team enforces these standards consistently so that all guests feel respected and valued. Kind regards, Sent from Elisha's iPhone read more

I have been coming here fairly regularly I absolutely love it here! The food is delicious I've tried many things on the menu so far and for a Gastropub the food is pretty top tier not gonna lie. I normally order the Raspberry colada it's very yummy but have had other seltzers and beers and those are very good as well. Staff is the friendliest group they really make it worth it to keep coming back. read more

Recently went to Rescue Brewery for lunch with my wife and son for lunch. Showed up a little early and a woman sitting at the bar told us they weren't open yet. It was a nice day so we walked around a little and returned. The place was empty... we sat at a table and waited for someone to give us a menu or explain the ordering process. After about 10 minutes a local walked in, the woman behind the bar immediately poured him a beer and continued to treat us like we were invisible. Apparently she was "busy"with small talk with the ONLY other person in the place. Now, it was close to Halloween so you never know, maybe we were invisible!!! Anyway, I realize how important it is to support new businesses, but 1st impressions are hard to forget. This place is dead to me now! RIP RB. ********* ...and the fact that you try to defend your lousy customer service and refuse to take any responsibility just reenforces my review and my decision not to return to RB. BUH-BY! read more

Great spot with great food and drinks. Stumbled on this place after going axe throwing across the street. Was happy they were open late but do wish they extended their hours on the weekends. Has a variety of drinks including beers and seltzer's and loved them all. Poke nachos were delicious! We will definitely be back read more

Good food. Good beer. Good times ... Nothing more to say but need more words to post I guess

We recently moved back to the area and decided to try out this local brewery. Hubby likes IPAs but it's a hit or mis for me. I was very pleased to see that they had quite a few options if don't want beer. My favorite is the cactus cooler. It tastes just like the soda. Hubby like Mango Blonde. The food we tried was really good. I love their wings and Buffalo cauliflower. The staff is super friendly so we keep going back to hang out. The place is family friendly and laidback. You can watch a game on tv or listen to music And they always have events going on. We will definitely be back. read more

Dropped my kids at Hanger 18 to climb and first went to Rad Coffee, but the line was out the door and there was no seating inside and it was 90 degrees outside. So, my plan switched from coffee to beer. I looked on Yelp and saw Rescue close by so I thought I'd give it a try. I recognized the logo from seeing people wear their tee shirts around town, so I thought to myself, it must be decent. First impression as I opened the doors was great. Note, walking the streets close by was a little rough. A heroin addict stumbled past me asking if I had any. She was in bad shape. The town is older and there's a bit of old town charm but it's also a bit in disrepair in areas and the city could certainly do a better job bringing it to life. As I continued in, I realized it was an order at the bar kind of place. Nothing bad about that, but it's always a point deductor for me if I don't see a great reason for it. Since you can order food and there's lots of tables, it would be nice to have a seat and order. That's their choice and I get it. But, the tables are too close to the small bar lineup area where you order, so you get stuck waiting between tables where people are sitting and trying to enjoy their drinks and meals. Just slightly awkward. The menu of beers was intriguing and I saw a few that immediately looked appealing to me. I tested the Red but it had a slight off flavor, so I just asked for their standard Ale. I ordered a large pretzel too as I was just hanging while my kids climbed. I sat down and within minutes the pretzel came. It looked pretty good. Wasn't so sure about the wilty lettuce but the pretzel itself was solid. It was nice and hot, soft, and fairly tasty. It was a little bland and needed more salt. The cheese sauce was a nice addition and so was the mustard sauce. The Ale surprised me and was actually my favorite part of the visit. I looked forward to coming again and trying more of their beers. Not sure if they offer a tasting flight but if so I'd try various beers to see what I like from their lineup. The staff was friendly and fast and the atmosphere was clean and refreshing considering my walk outside wasn't as nice. Only two TVs above the bar so I wouldn't say it's a great place to watch sports but I would enjoy hanging with friends and/or doing a trivia night here, if they do that sort of thing. Overall, a solid 4 for me. read more

I really wanted to love this place after hearing great things about it. Unfortunately going on a Friday night was not the best time to go since it was busy but we found seating right away. Tried the watermelon seltzer and other beers and it was good but nothing outstanding. We ordered food and waited about 40 minutes and still no food coming out. Waited another 10 minutes and still nothing. Ended up leaving going elsewhere. Hopefully next time the kitchen will be on point. I wanted to try more of the beer but it was so busy and made it difficult to try I felt rushed and did not receive the best of the customer service. Understandable that it was a busy Friday night. Maybe they need more employees to hand the crowd. The girl with the long black hair was super friendly and sweet. " thank you" Maybe next time will be better. read more
