    The beer is hit or miss. My husband and I are big on hazy IPA's. We've been here a few times, sometimes we find a great beer, other times we didn't care for it. Today it was delicious! The decor here is great! Very relaxing. The bartender was very nice.

    The beer is good. The location is nice. The bartender is attentive. Prices are reasonable.

    Really nice place! Very relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. Great drink selection! Lots of beers, seltzer's, and even slushes! They had a great IPAs and lots of seltzer flavors that were all very good! They also have prepackaged food like salads, and sandwiches for purchase. If you don't want to spend a lot on food they also offer $1 nuts that are also really good. Great place, good drinks and friendly service.

    Fun ambiance and youthful vibe

    Cool surf- coastal vibe with decor and music to match! But of course you came for the beer- so here's the scoop! New beer on rotation With plenty of seltzer's and even a beer slush! But for those who keep it real! Honestly some great beer with nice smooth drinkability Great Haze, double IPA and more! Come check out this Vista brewery and support local! Oh- and they do offer food and soda (for your DD)

    We stumbled upon this gem just after going to another local brewery and was pleasantly surprised what was lingering just around the back corner. It was just 30 minutes before closing and so we tried a few samples and then split one of the strawberry tropical brews. So good. I am in love with the vibe here. If anyone from the Yelp community management hasn't ventured here yet. I totally see a Brewventure a brewing here! It would be fantastic! I definitely want to come back. They get food trucks so that's a plus as well. Nice and clean open floor plan. They have plenty of seating areas and a pool table! Very family friendly.

    Great brews that west coastal local will love. Chill vibe and good people make this a must try destination in the craft meca of North County.

    Awesome beers and seltzers!
    Aris M.

    Love this place so much!! Everyone is so nice and the vibes are amazing. Very beachy/surfer-y and overall relaxing. They have a wide variety of beers AND seltzers. Tried the Mojave Haze, a west coast IPA and the Baja Blasted. Be warned the Baja blasted makes your tongue blue ;). It seems like a hole in the wall but those are the best places. Dogs welcome too!! Bring your best friends (human and animal alike) and enjoy great drinks.

    Great beer cool vibe although it looks a lot like Helia inside and a similar surf logo.the hazy IPA is really good, I liked the pilsner a lot too, the blond was good and the mosaic was done good as well. They have a nice big tasting room with a pool table. They also have a big outdoor area with corn hole and assorted games. The staff was friendly and pleasant to deal with. They had NFL on so that's a bonus.The beer is good so I will be back.

Our waitress, Samantha, was very accommodating and attentive. She made sure everything was just right and truly made us feel at home.

Comfortable and casual. Many sign posted about disruptive kids and pets. It was early on a Monday evening, so I don't know if they enforce or not. The fish and chips were cooked very well. The flavor was good on the fish. The fries were crispy. My only disappointment is they served the malt vinegar on small portion cups instead of the shaker bottle. Hard to get an even spread. The pazole and the Cole slaw were both very good. Our server was attentive and friendly. They have water stations - coolers with cups stacked nearby. To me, the water tasted old ( I know -makes no sense). It had a very earthy note to it like the coolers weren't adequately cleaned. Would definitely go back!!

The venue is large, a little bit away from the freeway, but had plenty of parking and space for patrons to enjoy a meal and beer. The space the event was hosted in always decently sized for the number of vendors they had. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer options. There was a decently expansive menu to choose from as well. I ordered a pretzel and beer, the ultimate brewery combination in my opinion. The beer was crisp and refreshing and the pretzel was perfect. The beer cheese was divine and paired well. My friend ordered the nachos which were massive. The only idea we had was the beer cheese should be the go to cheese for everything - it was so good it definitely elevated the nachos for us.

Upon entering we were quickly greeted with smiles from the bartenders and welcomed in. The patrons sitting at the bar also smiled at us as we later learned they were the regulars of the bar and one used to be a bartender there. This place gave off such a casual cool dive bar vibe but was actually really nice inside. We ordered the fried zucchini, Nelson burger, and the elliotness burger. These burgers were great! And you can see that in the pictures. Meat was delicious and flavors were tasssssty! I must also say their Irish red and seltzers were super good too. If you're in the area and are in need of a good beer, good food, and chill vibe atmosphere... check this spot out!

Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

    Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.
