    I love Artifex so when I saw there was a tap room right off El Camino I had to check it out. It's small with a few tables and a bar. They have a big screen which they play movies on. I'm surprised how small this spot is I was expecting it to be bigger especially because the beer is so good and that they have a big following.

    Nice Hazy!

    Nice spot, I recommend the hazy they have on tap! Bartender was very kind. It's a great place to relax after checking out the shopping off Avenida Del Mar.

    The beer, service and location rock. Hands down my favorite brewery in south county and this taproom is just awesome.

    I love the bartenders. I love the beer. I love the location. They let me eat In-N-Out in there. Top notch.

We came down from up north for lunch on Taco Tuesday. They have a special menu for that day. Fortunately it includes their soon to be famous birria egg rolls. We walked up and placed our beer and food orders. Everything was delivered quickly. The tacos were overflowing their tortilla bases! The egg rolls were up to the hype. They have a bunch of their own beers on tap in a wide range of styles.

Neither of us had been before, but it was conveniently located and looked nice--clean, open, airy, and not too crowded on a Thursday around noon. We sat at the bar, but didn't actually end up trying any of the beers (although I thought about it). We opted for Diet Cokes instead--maybe next time. I had the veggie sandwich with fries, and my friend had the cheeseburger and fried cheese curds. All were really delicious, the fries being especially good. We agreed that the cheese curds might've been too much for us. I don't know what we were thinking, ordering DEEP FRIED CHEESE--maybe that we were still teenagers?! They didn't have a ton of vegetarian or vegan options, but I really enjoyed my sandwich. Our server was genial and efficient, and we had a lovely time. Would like to try again, with some beers next time.

Nice small arcade to keep the kiddos and Dads busy, amd 2 counter bars. Order at the counter, your name is called, pick up your own food and full your own drinks. A chaotic rhis evening but overall a good experience. A very nice lady and son let us have their table. It can get very loud in there. Service is great. Pizzas wings and mozzarella sticks were a solid 8.5. Pizza is loaded with toppings, not too saucy or salty, freshly made. We will definitely try this place again in a not so busy evening or get it to go. Price on point for the amount of food we ordered.

While we were still enjoying our meal and had half a pint of beer left, an employee approached our table without any prior notice and discarded our pizza tray, which still contained two slices covered by a plate. I had intended to take those slices home for my daughter. The whole incident occurred so quickly (we were in the middle of a conversation) that by the time we realized what had happened, it was too late. When we expressed our disappointment, the employee merely suggested we could get another pizza downstairs and walked away without offering an apology. While I understand it was just two slices, I had already told my daughter that I would be bringing some pizza home. I could have ordered another pizza, but the wait time was too long. Additionally, we noticed that two glasses of beer and napkins from previous customers remained on the table for the entire time we were there. It raises the question of why those items weren't taken instead of our pizza. As a suggestion, I recommend requesting the pizza to go. That way, it comes in a box and is less likely to get tossed.

He's the kind of person who genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in every interaction. His knowledge of the drinks was on point--he didn't just recommend things, he explained them in a way that actually made you excited to try something new. Every suggestion hit, and you could tell he really understands the craft behind what Drift is doing. What stood out most though was the service. Joey was attentive without hovering, personable without being over the top, and made the whole vibe feel elevated but still comfortable. It felt less like being served and more like being taken care of. If you're going to Drift Distillery, ask for Joey--you'll have a completely different (and better) experience because of him.

First menu's and drinks with great conversations among our-selves, we were given ample time to read and decide on our choices and under no pressure to order which was excellent way for everyone to catch up on life! Luke returned and took our orders made sure drinks were still full. The ambiance was outstanding and low key no blasting music or loud tv sets blaring which made our conversations that much more enjoyable. Luke return soon there after with our dinners which was delicious! For that reason I give 5 Stars nice portions presentation was wonderful. Luke did a great job! I highly recommend Drift Distillery

Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!
