    Peanut Butter Milk Stout on nitro. So damn good!
    Stephen T.

    When I head home to Poway, Belching Beaver is one of those pubs I will usually meet friends at because of its central location. But that drive east on 78 at about 5pm is just terrible! That aside, this is always a great place to drop in for beer and food. The staff is friendly and helpful and the selection of beers and drinks, second to none. Stopped in with my sister and her husband, where we met a high school friend of hers. We placed out drink and food order and just hung out. The peanut butter milk stout, especially on nitro is always a winner. So "dam" good! I was surprised at the Elote tots as well. Really well seasoned and very tasty. The pub was crowded at 3pm (holiday) on a Monday, with no tables available, so we took a seat at the bar, but it wasn't long before we scored a table in the middle of the bar area and enjoy the beer, food and company. Thanks Belching Beaver, I am so "dam" glad we were able to stop in.

    We went here for a quick drink and bite to eat since it was close. We were pleasantly surprised at everything. We visited around 2-3 on a Thursday so there weren't a ton of people here. We ordered the Cajun rub wings and the cheeseburger fries (I believe that's what they're called). We got a strawberry blonde and seltzer to start. Everything was delicious!! Hit the spot for sure! The server suggested fruit in the tropical seltzer and yummmm! It was so refreshing and yummy! The food was great, atmosphere so relaxing and service was friendly. I grabbed a 6 pack on my way out and told them I would be back!

    Belching Beaver Brewery Pub 980 Vista, CA I am an avid fan of PB so I once fell into the rabbit hole of finding where I can get Peanut Butter beer! I tried Belching Beaver Brewery's PB stout and it was amazing! Also, the place is huge, so even if we arrived during an event, we were still able to find seats, although it's at the back of the brewery.

    Burgers & Wings!

    Would highly recommend this brewery to anyone looking for some delicious bar food, solid drinks, and ambiance. This place is a total gem nestled in the 'biotech beach' industrial area of Carlsbad. There's ample parking in the lots and on the street. The brewery has a cool camping vibe to it (a beaver's dam) and there's a ton of seating. The food menu is quite extensive with anything ranging from burgers, salads, sandwhiches to sides. There's definitely something for everyone here. Plus, there's a bunch of TVs for sports and games but it's not so loud that you can't chat with friends. Would definitely return!

    Buenos Tiempos

    The staff were all super friendly tonight. We got our beers fast and with a smile. The music selection was chill and the vibe was nice and mellow for a Saturday night. I had a Buenos Tiempos beer which was good like always. Overall a great bar to swing by.

    I'm always so surprised when I walk into Belching Beaver Pub 980 and it's packed! It's a little hidden gem and so fun and good. Great great space, with pool, tvs, high tops, fun ambiance, etc. There's outdoor seating as well. We got a few different entrees and everything came out fast and fresh. Fun merch as well! I'm not even a beer drinker but definitely come here for the food.

    Chicken Tinga Nachos, Beer Flight and Cheeseburger
    Nate C.

    We had a great time visiting this brewery this week after enjoying their beers for so many years! Great beer selection (obviously) and a lot of merchandise and beer to take home with you. They also have a nice selection of bar-type food to pair with the beers.. The burger was good and the chicken tinga nachos were so tasty and filling! Every one was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers & food. Our bartender helped pick out our flights so we could try a bunch of different styles of beers we like

    THE PLACE TO BE ON A SATURDAY OR ANY DAY.
    Denise R.

    Where do I start?...this place is so cool and I mean cool the breeze rolling through the bar because of the garage-type door that's rolled up. The outdoor seating is so fun makes you not want to leave. The food was excellent and flavorful the beer choices were endless and the kids menu had something for everyone. We loved this place its great for families or a girl's night or date night.

    Nicola L.

    We had such a fun family day today! We ordered beers, wings, grilled cheese, fries and Cesar salad. Food and drinks were all amazing. Husband raved over the Viva La Beaver. Sat outside and enjoyed all the families living life together.

    Hi there. Is there trivia on Thursday's?

    Hi! Yes we do! From 6pm-8pm on our patio :)

    Do they allow dogs?

    Yes, but only outside on the patio. They cannot be inside now that there is a kitchen.

The food is great, the cocktails are excellent, and the overall vibe is casual but lively. They also have one of the best happy hours, with daily happy hour from 3-6 PM plus a late-night happy hour during the last hour of service. We definitely take advantage of both. Some of our favorites: the smash burger, the tallow fries, and the chicken sandwich. Everything we've tried has been solid. Even the kids' chicken fingers are great! On top of that, all of their cocktails are consistently well-made. Whether we're stopping in for a quick happy hour drink or a full meal, Prey always delivers. Highly recommend!

I parked in the garage that's closest (shared with apartments). Prices were reasonable, food was pretty good, beer tasted like to was supposed to. What could have made it better? The service. It was slow and not super pleasant. It didn't seem too busy anywhere in the place so I'm not sure what the delays were. Maybe the server was new, but she didn't seem too happy and forgot my drink. When she finally came back to check on us she asked if I would like to order a drink (umm, I just want to beer that I ordered ten minutes ago, please). I'd go again if others chose to meet up there... and just hope for the best.

It's the kind of good that lingers. The kind that sets a standard and then quietly dares everything else to try and keep up.

It didn't just raise the bar--it moved it somewhere higher, somewhere harder to reach. I still find myself thinking about it, hoping it comes back like a ghost that never quite finished its business.

    This place is great!…read more Wife and I came out on a date night to this local spot we've been trying to come to for months. It was on a Friday night, the place was packed, and difficult to find a spot to park. The line to order was almost out the door, but still fast to get through, and we were quick to choose what we wanted before struggling to find a spot to sit and talk. After about 15 minutes, our order was ready and we got to enjoy our food. We started with the Carne Asada Nachos, Refried Beans on the side. The meat was flavorful, very tender, and plentiful atop a pile of crisp and fresh tortilla chips. The cheese was nice and salty and the sour cream was warm to the point where it drizzled over it all nicely. All in all, it was a very tasty start to the night. The only two issues I had with it were that the guac was a bit overly pureed, making it kind of runny. And the refried beans had a very sour flavor, making me think that they were over the edge of going spoiled. I had to thank my wife's aversion to eating beans, helping us avoid having them spooned on top, which would have ruined this course. I also had an Al Pastor Taco, Craft Coast Style. The whole it was crisped up well, the cheese forming a great crust on the inside of the taco. The meat was sweetly marinaded, flavorful and delicious. On top of it was a good amount of beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole, making for a good sized taco without any overflowing. It was pretty damn tasty. So, our first trip out here had more highs than lows, resulting in a very positive initial dinner. I'm sure those beans were just a one-off, at least I hope they were. And there's still hope that the guac may have had too much lime or had been overly mixed this time around. A second trip is definitely in the cards, with more of the family to expand what comes to the table.
