    This spot had the best lemon pepper chicken wings! Yum! I ordered their only cider and was also really good. It was also taco Tuesday and trivia night and the Padres game was on as well. Lots going on but was a very fun night. Ordered a brisket taco to try it out and was really good. The service was party at the counter just and they give you a number to bring out your order but they were really good of going around asking if you needed anything else or wanted to place another order or another round of drinks.

    Came here for a wrap party for a short film we shot and enjoyed tacos and wings! The brisket tacos were amazing and the lemon pepper wings were excellent (dry rub)! Servers were very kind and complimentary. The. Venue is very wholesome and they support all San Diego sports!! They also have a nice arcade with several games and tonight was trivia night and taco Tuesday! Can't wait for another excuse come back

    You order at the counter. Very comfortable casual airy place with 20 plus beers. Plenty of TV's . The fish tacos were very good fish seemed fresh crunchy vegetables. The Chili Verde burger was tasty as were the onion rings. I'll return. Great place to watch a game

    I love it here. It's walking distance from my place and a perfect pre game spot. Honorable mention to whoever is on aux, I swear to bob it's my exact playlist which is wild and amazing. Lately eating here has been hurting the pockets so I be sure to come on Mondays for ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR!! It includes food and drinks! So worth it on those random days off. I keep it simple with pepperoni and Cesar salads but the pork belly bites are also gas. Until they start seasoning the actual burger patty, I'd say burgers aren't worth it here (they are big tho). The bartenders and servers are also very chill and friendly people. It can get pretty busy in here during baseball or football games so I highly recommend coming during lunch if you can.

    this place continues to deliver good vibes and great memories. I remember coming here way back during my freshman year of college for wing night. Back then, it was the spot. Fast forward to today, and it still holds up! Came in for drinks and caught the Padres beat the Diamondbacks, which made it a win-win kind of night. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was solid, and wrapped it up with their house margarita that was on happy hour can't beat that deal. The staff, especially the ladies behind the bar, are always so friendly and make sure everyone's having a good time. The space is big, perfect for hosting groups or watching the game. And yes... the wings are still as good as I remember. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in this part of town or just craving some solid wings and a good time.

    Ambiance is awesome. We had a large party and the place didn't have any problem accommodating us. We ordered some pretzel, chicken rolled tacos, cauliflowers, and salad. Yes we didn't skip on the adult linarions. Staff is great and we didn't have to wait to order for refills. It was an overall great experience. There were ample of parking and it was easy to get to

    Located in Mission Gorge area, San Diego. Great brewery with alot of in-house selections as well as guest brews. I'm impressed with Pliny the Elder. I tried a few of the in-house IPAs and liked the hazy. Service is great, nice crowd, lots of sports TVs. Can't wait to come back to try the food. There is plenty of parking and tables for large groups.

    This place is everything you'd want in a San Diego brewery. The beer selection is fantastic and well crafted, and with enough variety to please both casual drinkers and beer enthusiasts. Every pint I've tried has been full of flavor and balanced perfectly. The food is just as impressive. It's not your typical "brewery food" it's elevated absolutely delicious. You can tell they put just as much care into the kitchen as they do the brewery. The vibe here is welcoming and laid-back, with friendly staff who clearly enjoy what they do. It's the kind of spot you can go to for a casual pint and great meal! Highly recommend stopping by, you won't be disappointed!

    "A Lively Brewing House Serving Up Delicious Wings" Food: I ordered the boneless wings, and they were generous in portion and absolutely tasty. The Thai chili flavor was especially satisfying. Plus, wings are 20% off on Wednesdays--a huge bonus! Service: The staff are both friendly and quick. Even with the big crowds and noise, they stayed professional and attentive. Ambiance: Super lively atmosphere. It's not the easiest place for quiet conversation, but the energy makes it a really fun spot to hang out.

    Mmmm...beer.

    We finally made it to San Diego Brewing since new ownership took over and performed a much needed makeover and update. Tyson and Kristina took ownership and transformed SDBC into a bight, airy brewpub. The new bar is as huge as it is beautiful. Garage style roll-up doors open the place up to natural light and fresh air. There is plenty of seating at the bar, with a bunch of tall table seating behind and a large dining room. The all-new patio out front is great. New TVs abound! A huge tap list includes something like 11 house beers, 21 guest beers a seltzer and a hard kombucha. Also an assortment of cans and bottles. House beers ranged from $6.50 - $7.50, while guest taps rang in at$9/pint. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by Sophia. Sophia was all smiles. Super cute, cheerful and friendly. We enjoyed chatting with her. A bit later we met Doug. He was equally as cheerful as Sophia, not quite as cute though. LOL! For my lunch I had the Pork Belly Tacos $16 crispy pork belly, chili crisp aioli, avocado crema, pico, cilantro. served with chips and salsa Absolutely delicious. The tacos were loaded (I mean loaded!) with chunks of pork belly. They had perfectly crispy edges that gave way to a juicy and tender interior. The avocado crema was an excellent compliment. a nice portion of tortilla chips was on the side with a little cup of salsa. Becky ordered the Brew Co. Burger $15 Angus smash patty, cheddar, grilled onions, spicy aioli, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce on a brioche bun served with fries (Becky's choice). Easily one of the better burgers either of us has encountered. The "smash" made for a great crispy edge. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The brioche bun was quality. We most definitely will return to SDBC. Tyson and Kristina are also the proprietors of O'Brien's in Kearny Mesa, The Pub at Lake Cuyamaca and La Mesa West Coast Smoke and Tap House. I encourage you to visit these spots too. They're good people doing good things.

    My high school alma mater boy's basketball team was in the CIF San Diego Section Division 3 Championship game, so I attended the game to support my basketball coach, who I was blessed to have played for 38+ years ago on his very first boy's varsity basketball team. My teammate and longtime best friend was supposed to join me, but he had to work. After the game, I joined him and two of my other closest friends for dinner at San Diego Brewing Co. (SD Brewing) to hang out and watch our college alma mater San Diego State Men's Basketball team on television. Just like we always do when we get together, we laughed our heads off, caught up with each other's lives, and broke bread eating some delish food at SD Brewing. This was my first time visiting SD Brewing. The restaurant is located on Friars Road heading east away from Snap Dragon stadium, so this is a good spot to meet up before a sporting event at the stadium. This sports bar/brewery is specifically located within the Friars Village outdoor strip mall where you can also find Rubio's, Denny's, Gaglione Bros, Saigon Star, Corner Thai Kitchen, and Cupcakes A La Yola. This strip mall is just across from Kaiser Permanente Zion. There is plenty of free parking in this shopping center. The restaurant was packed for a Saturday night and there's a lot going on inside. It's well lit inside, there were plenty of televisions with the SDSU basketball game on and the San Diego FC soccer game on, there was a row of video game machines, and there was bar seating, high wooden table top seating, and standard table top seating. The wait staff was very attentive checking up on us periodically to verify if we needed anything. It was cool that we got to hang out for over four hours enjoying each other's company while the hard working staff attended to any of our food and beverage needs. My best friends are beer drinkers, which I am not, so this was also their first time visiting SD Brewing and they chose this brewery to try their in-house selection of beers. With me not being a beer drinker, I'm hoping that the places I meet up with my buddies serve a scrumptious selection of food. Perusing their menu, they have standard fare that you'd find at a sports bar such as wings, appetizers, greens for the health conscious, pizzas, and sandwiches. My buddies had been there an hour before I got there, so they had already ordered wings and rolled tacos. When one of my buddies joined us just after I got there, he ordered Buffalo wings and Sweet Potachos, which are waffle sweet potato fries covered with chili crisp aioli, avocado crema, fresh jalapeños, salsa fresca, and scallions. I thought the wings and rolled tacos were tasty, but they didn't blow me away. I liked the uniqueness of the Sweet Potachos and fans of sweet potato fries will probably enjoy this appetizer. Since I hadn't eaten too much that day, I decided to order one of their burgers and decided on the Brew Co Burger, which comes with an angus smash patty, topped with cheddar, grilled onions, spicy aioli, tomato, lettuce, and all within a brioche bun. It comes with your choice of fries or tots and I chose tots. I enjoyed SD Brewing's value for your money with a good amount of food to satisfy my hunger. I enjoyed this burger especially with the grilled onions, but I wished the server had asked how I wanted the burger cooked. It still was delicious and I also enjoyed the good amount of crunchy tots. We ended our meal with coffee and a mud pie that wasn't on the menu, but we devoured that dessert. The coffee was just okay. As always it was a blessing to meet up with my best friends, eat some filling food, and watch sports at San Diego Brewing Co. My beer drinker buddies kept complimenting how good the beer was at this brewery, so I'm sure we'll meet here in the future and I'll be able to try their other food offerings.

    Happy hours specials

    Great spot for game days (no matter what sport). Lots of TVs and seating here. Indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting). Game day specials for drinks. Food is pretty good but also kind of expensive for what it is. My friend and I actually really enjoyed the salad here. Tots (and ranch) are solid for sure. Also, don't have a pic but the grasshopper dessert is really good. Friendly staff. Lots of parking but can get a little difficult on football Sunday.

    I was charged for a meal that I didn't eat.

    We just had a tragic experience at San Diego Brewing. My wife and I went there to have some beers and some dinner for our nine year anniversary. We gave our orders, and I was thinking, "Man, I sure hope the food and the beer don't arrive at the same time". Worse ...the food arrived about 15 minutes later ...no beer in sight. We waited for another 12 minutes before we finally got our beer. I was so put off by the situation that I pushed my meal to the very edge of the table and refused to eat it. Yeah, so even though I left my plate as pristine as it came from the kitchen, they still charged me anyway. I'm sure one of the employees will take it home tonight and have it for dinner after they get stoned. The classy move would've been to not charge me for my meal since I refuse to eat it based on the absolute disaster known as "service" at that establishment, but they didn't. They charged me anyway. What a s&$thole...
