I was able to order everything in advance and have drink tickets for our group. Their hourly minimum to rent the patio was incredibly reasonable. Everything as tailored to our group and needs. I am highly impressed Everyone found a drink they loved - even ones that surprised them. The beer and wine selection was great and the food was delicious. We devoured it all so quick. Next event or group get together this is our first choice.

We had a very disappointing visit this past Saturday. We were really looking forward to going and…read moregetting an introduction to their products and having the chance to sample some different options side by side. Unfortunately the guy working the tasting room wasn't really interested in us or the products but made us feel more like we were intruding on his afternoon. He offered no insights into the various products and instead focused on his problems with his wife and his outside interests. We went specifically to taste ryes and he insisted that they don't make a high rye even though when we got home we found a listing for their Cali Gold High Rye. He is doing a disservice to the distillery by continuing to work there. The place could be cosy and inviting with a different server.

The cheese balls were delicious and the carne asada fries were also good. The drinks were so good, the first cosmo type drink was honestly chuggable (dont do this, its alcohol lol) The sangria was also good and the servers were attentive and helpful. Would love to have an event here again

Parking was rough but we eventually found a spot. We went for a birthday party. We had a couple…read moreof tables and the servers were attentive. The view is amazing and we were outside so the kids could play at the play area. I am not a big fan of Kombucha, but they have a great selection for those who are. A good amount of beer too and the food was amazing. We had the Carne Asada Fries and it was enough for both of us. I have been to other locations too and was a fan.

The design of this place is really cool. It feels like you've walked into a back alley and are in a…read morecompletely different part of town. Everything is so clean but it has a very good rustic and real feel to it. The drinks here are my favorite because to be honest, I'm a sours beer kind of guy and they have a whole building dedicated to it. The amount of variety when it comes to sours is great a prices are fair. Flavors pop but theirs also a good enough selection if you want a more chill sour that won't punch you in the face. The other building (not sure which is considered the main ones) has a large selection of your typical IPAs, lagers, you name it. The flavors are good and they seems to have some deals going on from time to time for cans to take home which I can appreciate. They also have a few board games to keep you entertained and seem to consistently have some options fora food vendor as well as many times having live music. Definitely worth the visit on a day you see them having one of these vendors or live bands you may be interested in. The people here seem to be very friendly with their regulars and greet you as if you're a friend. I think this bodes well with breweries considering you're usually here to have a good time and chill. I wouldn't say it feels like the reason I'd come back at all but no complaints here. Just didn't feel like out of this world service by any means.

They offer a wide variety of craft beers, making it easy to find something you'll enjoy whether you prefer IPAs, lagers, stouts, or seasonal brews. My go-to menu item is the steak nachos. They're loaded with flavor, generously portioned, and pair perfectly with a cold beer. If you're looking for a casual place with excellent craft beer and great food, NOVO Brazil Brewing in Imperial Beach is definitely worth a visit. The beer variety is outstanding, and the steak nachos are a must-try.

After the Brazil match, we arrived early for Mexico vs. England but found all tables reserved. We waited outside for an hour with no staff assistance, then went to the bar. The bar lacks organization, sometimes you order directly, other times you have to wait for a server. I asked a manager, Jimmy, for clarification, but he ignored me and waved me away like I was an inconvenience. Despite an almost empty bar, no one helped until a bartender told a server to take my order. We've always enjoyed Novo, but this experience was disappointing. Decent food and decent atmosphere can't make up for poor service, especially from management. Jimmy, I hope you improve your operational organization and professionalism.

The brewery itself had a typical brewery ambience of being in a industrial Park which we loved with lots of open space. The beer was the main attraction and we really enjoyed tasting their IPAs and the course they had just put on we highly recommend if you are thirsty in Santy to go by Sunny Grove brewing Company.

We visited Sunny Grove Brewing Company for the first time on a recent Sunday…read more We arrived around 11:00 AM. The L-shaped bar was about a quarter full. The space is really great. Inside and out on the patio. They have a very nice and large bar top. The place is quite large with an open and airy feel. Definitely cool brewery vibes. The bathroom was really impressive; huge and spotlessly clean. They have a great selection of beers on tap from light to IPA. Stouts, darks - a beer for everybody. Beer only right now. I enjoyed a very tasty Mexican Lager (La Bamba). Becky begrudgingly enjoyed one as well. She no longer drinks beer. She lost nearly 50 pounds by switching to low carb, low calorie seltzers a few years ago. That was our only disappointment, no seltzers. Not even in cans in the cooler. If we ever return, she'll have to bring her own. Sunny Grove does not have a kitchen, but they do host a different food truck or pop-up nearly every day. Check the calendar on their website for details. sunnygrovebeer.com Definitely a cool spot, just wish they'd add a seltzer even if it is canned.

This review is for the deli…read more The size of the Subs here are ridiculous, They literally put Subway and Submarina to shame. I've had the King Special (12in sub) on two occasions now, which is Roast Beef, Turkey, and Ham with your choice of fixins, choice of cheese, a bag of chips, and a drink for only 6.59. Let me tell you that it is a hell of a deal, especially after you see the size of this awesome sandwich. King Liquor definitely hooks it up. I guess that's why the two times I've been in here I have seen Chula Vista Police officers and Firefighters getting their mack on. The owner was telling me that a lot of employees from the nearby Chula Vista City hall, the Bank of America next door, along with the areas surrounding businesses go there to get subs. I'll post an update later with more on the subs and the liquor store.

It is about a block away from the beach, has the that local-scene type of vibe where people show up in their golf carts or on their bikes. The location has both outdoor and indoor seating. And those of you who are like me that is sometimes cold but also likes the outdoor area, they have seats that give you the best of both worlds. The menu is simple but yet it has variety within its options. They offer pizza, wings, appetizers like tater tots, mozzarella sticks, and such. I think they even offer salads but let's be honest, I am there for the wings. There is something about their crispy freshly made wings that makes you just want to devour them. They offer teriyaki, buffalo and bbq wings. The best part? On Wednesdays they have a special where the wings are 75 cents. Actually, I lied . The best part, is the 5 dollar beers they offer when the Padres are playing. Our favorite go to is the Amigo-Lager. The staff is super friendly and they even offer military and teacher discounts. the only downside is that parking is limited but there is plenty of street parking.

Which I didn't take for an answer and glad I didn't... because I made him double check with the guys in the kitchen. Our pizza was DONE and had been sitting in the warming oven...... That means the guy at the register completely forgot about us.....as we sat and waited for 35 minutes in his direct line of sight....
