3.5-4 stars. After picking up a Mona Lisa sandwich down the block, strolled in on a Friday 2pm to an empty brewery. The punk decor on their entire wall reeled us in. We asked the gentleman at the front if we can enjoy our sandwich if we purchase a beer and he said it's fine. Drank their Good Genes hoppy blonde and my fiance got the La Flama Blanca Pale Mexican lager which was recommended by the beertender. I would say the beer was average, not my favorite, but not the worst. I wouldn't say I would crave it tho. The vibes were cool tho. Very nice employee, loud rock music, and open window to people-watch as they walk by. read more

OK you gotta figure something's not right about a brewery that is EMPTY at 6pm on a Friday. Why? Well their choice of beer was slim. The one I chose was not good at all. The vibe was LOUD. LOUD with punk music that we could not even have a conversation. Bartender was just ok....seemed like he was going through the motions. You can pass this one bye. read more

I really liked this place. Bartender was friendly and eager to give samples to help the selections, which is nice (and kind of old school brewery behavior). Enjoyed the music (yeah it was a bit loud, yeah it was punky) a lot. Fun vibes for a place like this. Decent amount of seating, too. I tried a few things and liked them all. Fun take on a seltzer and AMAZING barrel aged Barleywine. read more

Space is small but allows for a more casual less hectic crowd. Beer list is shorter than I'm used to but each beer I tried was good. Did a flight of La Flama Blanca, Kill The Pour, 2 Heptic and Needle in the Hey (pictured). All were decent brews that provided a range of flavor and variety. Staff was friendly and space was clean. It's a nice place to grab a beer after work with a few friends just not suitable for big groups. Would revisit to try more of the beer menu. If you are looking for food, this is not the place. They offer chips only but will allow you to bring in any food from an outside source. If you're looking for a very casual place to grab a brew, this place is for you. If you are looking for an all inclusive style place, well...just make sure you bring your dinner with you. read more

After walking around downtown, we found this small bar and had to stop in. With a good selection of both beers and seltzers, I opted for the 2 hectic IPA and she got the grape seltzer. Both were great. Nothing fancy here but the bartender was very helpful as well as friendly. Good place to go check out if you're downtown. read more

Not good....avoid this place. The beers were terrible, I sampled a seltzer, it tasted so artificial and I could barely finish it. I ended up ordering michelada, it was also really bad and watered down. My husband had a coupon from a T-shirt subscription for here that doesn't expire, the guy working at 3 Pink Brewing refused to let us use the coupon, then lied and gave us the run around and claimed they were never part of the subscription club and that the 3 Punk Brewing logo was used without permission. This guy was clearly lying through his teeth. Our group of friends that were with us hated their beers from here as well and just left almost full glasses. Another friend had a seltzer that was really bad and tasted off and asked the worker if she could exchange it for another drink and was refused and had to pay full price for another drink. This is a waste of space, don't waste your time and money here, there are so much better breweries elsewhere. read more

The interior had an interesting vibe, and the location itself seemed promising. I brought along an old Shirts on Tap coupon from a previous subscription; the kind where you get a brewery-themed shirt and a voucher each month. These coupons don't expire, but apparently that didn't matter. When I asked about using it, the server informed me, quite confidently, that the brewery was never part of the program, and that Shirts on Tap had simply decided to print their branding and distribute coupons entirely on their own initiative. A bold claim, to be sure. Whether that's actually true or just an impressively creative excuse, I'll leave to the imagination. As for the beer: entirely forgettable. I tried one of their IPA offerings, which landed squarely in the "mid" category. I also sampled a few beers and seltzers my friends ordered; some of which were, quite frankly, undrinkable. One friend even requested to swap out a particularly bad seltzer (I think it was watermellon, and it was full of lots of off flavors), but was flatly denied. We ended up leaving a few mostly-full glasses behind and moved on to a brewery that seemed more interested in serving drinkable beverages and perhaps, honoring their own branding. If you do end up here, I would avoid the seltzers. read more

Cool spot in Little Italy! Fast and friendly service. The tables and floor are clean (not sticky like other places). The structure of the place is beautiful with big open windows that allow sunlight to peek through and there's bench seating available as well. There's tall tables and regular ones as well. The interior has an emphasis of gold detailing, black tiles, and punk band wallpapers. The music is nice and relates to their theme, it's not overly loud like a club which is nice -- since you can hold conversations here! Their pint glasses have a nice thickness at the lip and a solid base. It also has their logo in a cool red font! They have unique beer selections and even flavored seltzers! Swing by and try them out, alone or with friends! read more

The selection could benefit from some beefing up. They had about 8 beers on tap and all were pretty similar styles. The Oktoberfest was pretty good but It wouldve been nice to see something beyond the standard sorts of beers that everybody has. The potential is there, it just needs some oomph. Beertender was friendly though. read more

3 Punk Brewing - Oktoberfest - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

Super chill and lowkey spot! Old school vibe, limited choice of alcohol (10 different kinds) which I enjoy because you don't get overwhelmed in trying to find one that suits your taste buds best. Personally, I recommend coming here if you're just looking to talk, enjoy alone time, or even to do school/work. LGBTQ+ and pet friendly as well read more

Great beer,great location, great aesthetics, but why aren't they playing punk music???

My wife and I were in San Diego for Memorial Day and we decided to get some of Sam the Cooking Guy's tacos and bring them to a new tap room we haven't been to before. It was only about three blocks away. I ordered an IPA from the nice bartender and sat down with my meal and he had Mad Max Fury on the TV, gotta love all of it. The whole atmosphere was perfect in Little Italy. The IPAs were hoppy and perfect (I ordered a second one) I also got a couple of stickers to trade with my brother-in-law. The tacos were a splendid complement to the beer and it was a solid meal in paradise. read more

We were staying in Little Italy for Comic-Con and noticed there was a brewery near by. Of course, we had to check it out. We swung in for a couple beers and it was just ok. The beers weren't anything special, though I did have a good laugh at the "Power Bottom" name and description. The bartender was super sweet and there was a dog that absolutely loved my fiance. The spot is cute but easy to miss if you aren't actively looking for it. I would like to give them another shot as we stopped in near closing time. It seems like it should have a good vibe during the day. read more

3 Punk Ales is located in the heart of Little Italy off India Street, serving up some of the finest beers on tap! I recently came here for their grand opening and was blown away by their selection of beers and seltzers they have to offer. Inside the decor and ambiance is a very clean modern-day look with fancy wall paper through out the fine establishment. They have a large screen TV playing music for your entertainment with ample seating throughout the place. Their main brewery is located in Chula Vista, where they brew the beer and decided to branch out in Americas finest city's downtown in Little Italy. I came in twice so far and tried their premium Mexican lager as well as the San Diego lager named 3rd Avenue. I also had their grape soda, which is a seltzer, and it was quite refreshing. The menu is posted up, which has the name and description of the beverages with alcohol content and price. The customer service was indeed second to none and provided service with a smile. The prices for beer were fair, and the quality was superb! I'm looking forward to coming back again and trying the Italian pilsner or Italian soda. There is a restroom on site and and outside food is authorized to bring in. Please check out this place and bring your pup since they are dog friendly. Familia x Cerveza x Musica x Fiesta read more

It's a small bar with a locals vibe. The art and decor are classic punk so get your punk ass down here and support local. read more

3 Punk Brewing - Sipping on a cold one. The Oktoberfest was excellent. - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

Extremely limited selection of beers. My friends and I stopped by here on a Friday evening and in our group of six, only one person found a beer they thought was tolerable, two ordered a michelada, and the rest just got waters because there was not a single beer that sounded good to them. The bar was completely empty when we stopped by and this does not surprise me at all. If you're looking for good beers, this place is easily a pass. If you're looking for a place to sit down and a bathroom to use in the otherwise chaotic Little Italy, then consider stopping by for a pit stop. read more

We stopped by here for a few beers, this place is small but the way the set up is you can actually fit a lot of customers the music was great , I ordered the michelada with La Flama, we were a group of 8 everyone's ordered was great, the service was really fast and speedy he actually was telling me a little about the history of the business I was impressed. I will come back. Thank you. read more

Had a flight of 3 beer and a italian sodaz all oretty good. Friendly bar tender and like the cozier ambience as the place is not so gigantic. read more

3 Punk Brewing - Beer flight! - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

If I could give it No stars I would. Guy at the bar wouldn't trade my drink for one that actually tasted good, because I tasted it. Your 50 cents worth of watermelon seltzer was absolutely disgusting. All of the other beers tasted by my Homebrew club and brewery owner boyfriend were proclaimed to be just OK. They won't be in business long with their mediocre fare. read more

Good beer, bad vibe. I went in wanting a good beer and some great punk music. Got a good local Mexican lager BUT the music was some new age jazzy band. Was there for 3 songs and was the same genre. Looks like the bartender was controlling the music with her phone and maybe missed the point of the place. She didn't ask us for another round so we left. As for requesting the music, I shouldn't have to if I'm going to a punk rock themed brewery. I'll post a video of the place and the music. read more

3 punk is located in little Italy in San Diego California. It's more of a little tap space more than anything. A nice place to stop by for a beer if you're tired of walking. Speaking of the beer it was really good I really enjoyed it and I look forward to going back. read more

Great ambiance. Good beers and variety. Friendly bar tenders. I'll definitely be back! (This is where I'd post some photos but Yelp keeps crashing every time I try- so you'll just have to take my word for it). read more

Cute small and a fun place to day drink. The bar tender was also helpful for local tips

Such a chill spot, and their beers are great too. Out of all the places nearby, this place was playing the best music. Love the homage to so many punk legends displayed on the walls. Can't wait to go back read more

It was ok! Standard beer. Tasted a little off like the tap lines needed cleaning. So many breweries near by & a place needs. To be really good to survive in SD in my opinion. read more

Had a nice German Lager while wandering Little Italy that was perfect for day drinking. Great spot to just chill & enjoy some good beer!

Beer was good, but don't expect to hear any music that's advertised on the walls. No punk rock to be found...just some "airy DJ" mixes that have nothing to do with the motif of the brewery. read more
