    Beef sliders with horseradish

    I have been here a couple of times and each time is consistently AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!!!! The food is superb. Mushroom toast, burgers, sliders, charcuterie, gnocchi, soups, and salad have been tried and are all so mouthwatering good! They do have happy hours and specials like martini Friday ( people take advantage of the buy one martini and get the other half off, especially with the Cosmos). All their drinks are very very strong. You only need one drink. They have an amazing selections of wine of well. The service is so kind and generous that you feel cozy if that makes any sense.

    Current beer on tap line up....changes frequently.

    RAISED BY WOLVES @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Raised by Wolves is located inside UTC La Jolla, tucked away in the very back of the mall near the Din Tai Fung area. I would definitely recommend parking around Corner Bakery or near 24 Hour Fitness for the closest way in. This was my very first time going to Raised by Wolves. I made a reservation on OpenTable, and if you are reading this right now, I highly recommend booking one. When we got there, the wait was two hours for people without a reservation. I booked for 9 PM on a Saturday night with my friends after dinner. We actually arrived at UTC earlier than expected, so we let the host know and they let us in about 20 minutes early. As for parking, they do not validate here. Parking is free for the first hour and then two dollars per hour after that, so just be aware that you may end up paying for parking when you visit this bar. It is set up like a speakeasy, which is really cool. You get to see where the actual bar is hidden. We ended up ordering a bunch of cocktails and the drinks were super great. I really loved the vibe overall. It was lively and chatty, and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very dark and classy. Keep in mind they do not serve food here. It is purely drinks only. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

    LOVE THIS SPEAKEASY…read more Shoutout Taylor and Lexi for the incredible service. The ambiance and drinks are unmatched.

There is a ramen station, which is actually a pretty neat idea, but I did strongly prefer the pizza vendor they had during trivia night. The trivia night was funner than I expected and nice because it was not too crowded. The nice bonus was that the top 3 winners won a prize. I hope this place draws in more people. There's not too many breweries in this area, and now one of the last few hangout spots with friends/colleagues after work nearby

    This was one of the neatest breweries I've been to in a while. It's not where you normally would…read morefind a brewery as it was in more of a what someway call a manufacturing area. It was cool because the layout was unique and appeared to be what looked to be a garage converted into a beer distillery. This place does not offer food service, but has a Ramen area where you can buy a package of Ramen and they have like four installs that provide hot water for mixing. There is a small kitchen cafe that seems to be open every now and then but today it was not. They do have the option of you being able to order from any restaurants nearby and having it either delivered or bringing it in so that makes it really nice. You can reserve the areas inside to have a party or they also have a patio covered area. That's really nice that has like gigantic Connect 4 or connect 6. The areas can suit small or large parties. Sedona was the staff working today behind the bar. I kinda got mixed feelings about her because she seemed nice, but it did seem as if she was maybe a little overworked possibly didn't want to be there and not really very talkative when it came to the different counts of beers and seem more of a rush to get the slow influx in of people served instead of answering questions about the specially crafted beers. Her vibe was a little off but the people and the atmosphere made up for it especially after ordering a flight in our party and ordering beers. It made for good conversations as we have the patio area that had picnic tables. The only other problem that I had was there was the smell that was just awful that kept coming in or out where we were and tons of biting flies. When we initially got there, the flies were not there, so I'm not sure if someone threw something away or left the trash bin open behind the metal wall or something, but it just got so unbearable that we had to keep moving around a bit. Had a great time with my friends and the birthday guy!!! My favorite beer was the IPA room service and the Okinawa. The prices are reasonable for a brewery and I think this place is cool. Would have been awesome if a food truck or two pulled up

    Brewski's was always this great, inexpensive dive bar with old arcade games to amuse and entertain…read morethe masses. A group of friends and I ventured in, one Saturday night in June for a few drinks and some good clean fun. We were all shocked to find the parking lot packed! We all kind of agreed that it had been at least four years since any of us had been to the venue. Brewski's got a makeover! More games. Refillable "token" cards. Loads of tables and chairs and a large patio. The bar was redone as well and took up the main long wall of the bar. It is now a cool arcade bar. The bartenders were quick and efficient. They made really good cocktails and even suggested a few. Loved the token cards. They were easy to fill and even worked on the jukebox so that's where all of my money went. I love jukeboxes!!! There were several large parties in the bar when we arrived but it was still easy to get around and find something to play. We had a great time and already made plans to go back for another group outing. Brewski's, you've outdone yourself!

Third time's a charm because we absolutely loved this place! Everyone here was so welcoming, and the beer and food were fantastic. We had an amazing time watching the games. The atmosphere was electric, especially during the first U.S. match. When the U.S. scored, the entire place erupted with chants of "USA! USA!" It was such an incredible feeling and made the experience unforgettable. The nacho portion was enormous! One of the ladies in our group loved it so much that she ordered it twice. The serving was so generous that it could easily feed three people. I tried the chicken sandwich during one visit and the fish and chips during the final game. Both were delicious and did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was tasty and made our World Cup experience even better.
