The place features a smaller selection of beers than the one on S. Santa Fe (detailed menus are available online) however the decor and vibe is delectable!

The service is always good and attentive, and it's great that they offer social options like bingo/trivia nights and live music. They once again have an in-house food service operated by Mexico City Cuisine. I tried thier street tacos with beans and Mexican White Garlic rice and it was delicious. Keep up the great job Colab partners and see you again soon.

I was pretty sad about that, but Michi has been an excellent addition to the local beer scene too. I enjoyed their IPA. My neighbor did as well (we are both IPA fans). In fact, he prefers Michi beers to Double Peak. They have a back room which is great for hanging out, with plenty of space to bring snacks and games for kids. I saw that they recently built an outdoor deck so we'll have to come back to check that out.

Island inspired brews, brah…read more Michi slings boozy suds in a warehouse in San Elijo Hills and does so with an island motif. They had 9 beers, one seltzer and an N/A hop water when I visited. I tried the porter, DIPA and the seltzer. Although the DIPA was the best brew of the bunch, it was a warm day and the fruit punch seltzer was perfect. Service was friendly, the place was chill, clean and roomy. I'd go back.

It was perfect, hit the spot! I also ordered from the vendor they had in the back patio. The tacos, 3 tacos for $10, were yummy! The playlist was great. They have art work on their walls and the back patio has backyard lights so when the sun sets I'm sure it's a nice vibe out there. Overall, great service, food, & beer! Will definitely be back to try more.

I usually don't hangout in this area much but when I saw a new beer spot well I had to check it…read moreout. So first there's some major construction going on in the front of Guadalupe. Second there's not much else around meaning it's about a half a mile from Vista Village. I came during the week and there was only about ten people there. The bartender was VERY cool and so helpful!!!!!! He explained how to pronounce the beers and he didn't make me feel stupid about it. One beer that I really liked was this vanilla beer so I'm a huge fan of Mother's Earth Cali Creamin so when I tasted their vanilla cream it wasn't as sweet but was damn good at the same time. This location is pretty small but big enough not to be sitting on top of people. I loved the inside it was very clean with a lot of wood. So I'm going to make this a regular spot in Vista!!!!

Great atmosphere, beer options, and food! My friends and I love to come here for trivia night…read more Really great way to connect with friends and/or meet new friends. Really easy to order inside and receive a text when your food is ready. I like to switch it up with different food options but one of my favorites is the Huli Huli chicken sandwich. Just a great size, wonderfully flavorful, and filling.

Lots of space and tables to relax. We ordered a flight as well as some tots to share and a sandwich. The staff were very friendly and helpful with my questions.

They have several styles of brews on tap and brews available in cans too. We've tried several of these options. I'd say the Helles Lager might go well with the newest brick n mortar: Mexico City Cuisine. Good happy hour deals too. I've always been greeted kindly by the staff here. And what's great is the literal collaboration between the businesses inside. I often see staffers greeting each other in friendship manors and if a beer isn't your choice they'll direct ya to the cocktails at 117 west or propaganda for wine. My husband likes the brews so that's usually where his tab will be :-) Razbiscus is a delicious mead and it has been a common choice of mine at this spot. *Lots of events at the venue so check the businesses social media sites and see what dates might suit you to stop on by. Only good and Rad vibes. So don't overthink it and give 'em a try!

It was a tough choice because the Strong Ale was also pretty dang tasty but I couldn't resist the malty, chocolaty notes...and the 8+ percent. Friendly service and they're nestled in the Colab Public House shared space along side other drinkeries and some food options. Good stuff!

Street parking only, but wasn't too hard to find a spot as we came early. The restaurant is very nice and looks new. There is two dining rooms one towards the front near the bar area, and another in the back. We sent in the front for brunch. The menu had a good variety of items, and we decided to go with the chilaquiles and the shrimp and grits. I love Shrimp and grits, and it's not too common on menu's so i has to try it. The dish had pork belly instead of bacon, and shrimp. THe texture of the grits was very good, not too runny or too thick. The shrimp seemed good quality and not chewy or rubbery. I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. The chilaquiles were an interesting take, not at all what you're normal chilaquiles would be. They come with lamb but we substituted with chicken. They were covered with a type of hollandaise sauce and we both thought they were good. I also ordered a breakfast shot that had bourbon in it, and a piece of pork belly on the top, and a shot of orange juice. It was pretty strong and very good. I would definitely order this one again, and the piece of pork belly they added on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back to check out their happy hour, it looks like they have an awesome menu, and they even do it on the weekends.

My husband and I were consistently blown away throughout the meal. We had a few cocktails (one was the verde) and all of them were exceptionally crafted, balanced and well priced. What really shocked us was how good the food was. These were chef driven dishes with phenomenal flavor profiles and execution. Genuinely was blown away by the charred broccoli and the cabbage dish. I would venture to say I preferred the broccoli dish here than to somewhere like Campfire. On that final note, I'll say we typically go to State street or Encinitas/Solana/Oceanside for our date nights but please, give this place a try. They were so so good! 10/10 from two vegetarians
