    Sitting on their "patio" with a view enjoying a cold one

    What a fun locally owned brewery. Came on a Taco Tuesday night and it was busy, but in a good way! Trivia games were being played, lots of families were out to support and the Tacos smelled amazing! But back to the beer- that's what you came for - Over a dozen on tap with tastings, flights or just commit to your choice with different sizes to choose from. We tasted about 6 with explanation and sharing with each. Such joy and passion as they talked about their brewing. Please note- no shared secrets or recipes were disclosed in the process... lol All in all it was a fun night- we will be back for the White Sage IPA and the Pineapple Golden Ale (summer must have- beach and poolside perfection) But we also can't wait to see what these brewmasters have up their creative sleeves coming up! Go and support these local boys

    Service met us with a smile. They offered a splash (pro-tip try the Smashing Brown Ale), of whatever we asked to make sure we liked what we ended up ordering. Smart move Blue Fire! The food truck (Abarcason) was amazingly good, and the beer was tasty good. What more can you ask for?

    Friendly family owned place. Dog friendly and open air location with inside and outside seating.. Enjoyable for trivia on Tuesday nights. All things going well at this newish (new to me) brewery - the only thing holding them back for 5 stars for me is a solid lineup of beer. We tried several and found them to be variable quality. A few we really liked. We will be back in a few months to try again

    Blue Fire recently opened and they are a welcome addition to the local brewery scene. The beers are tasty and the selection is maturing, but with the enthusiasm and knowledge the staff has here, I think you will see better and better things. Cheers to Blue Fire and I will look forward to having another of your pints very soon.

    I'm watching Bob Ross, Zen master and Olympics and tennis and drinking 4.7oz (too honest) tasters of six beers. Just ordered two Blue/Goat burger ready in 10-15 as I was here early. My old dog is resting. We visit a brewery after her therapy each Friday. I'll post the menu and beer for today as an example. Every taster was good. Great variety. Perfectly friendly place. You will not be disappointed here.

    Meadiocrity Mead is another great spot for craft beverage lovers in San Marcos! Despite the name,…read moreeverything about this place is top-notch, from the quality of the meads to the welcoming atmosphere. They specialize in small-batch meads made with locally sourced honey (raw/unfiltered), and you can really taste the quality ingredients. Some of the delicious honey-based meads I recently enjoyed are the following: Foundation (traditional mead), Dragon Fruit (fruity mead made with red dragon fruit), and Tea with a Twist of Foundation (black tea & lemon). They have flavors that are only available for club members, which I didn't love but respect, since they allow non-club members to purchase tasters on Sundays. I am looking forward to returning to try the small-batch meads that are available exclusively for club members on a Sunday. The tasting room has a relaxed, rustic vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of outdoor seating, in fact. The decor is all about the bees-ness, with honeycomb accents, plants, and bees throughout. Pretty fun! The staff are super knowledgeable and happy to walk you through the different styles, whether you're into traditional dry meads or fun seasonal flavors. They often rotate their offerings, so there is always something new to try. They are also dog-friendly and sometimes host food trucks and events. Plus, they have two vintage arcade games and a few reptiles, easy to miss but a fun surprise. Support local, sip slow, and enjoy something truly unique.

    This is a cool meadery. I first had their mead at the Viking Festival in Vista a couple of years…read moreago, and it was delicious. This was my first time in their store though. They are the only meadery in San Diego that sources their honey from their own bee hives! They offer flights of four different meads to find out which flavors are your favorite. They have tables and chairs as well as comfy couches to chill in. They also have a variety of games to play with friends while you're there enjoying their meads. I highly recommend Meadiocrity meads. They are fantastic!

Reminds me a mini Dave and Buster type but more chill and vibes. Definitely a place to hang out with your friends and co workers. We ordered two drinks: sparkling paloma and prickly pear margarita. It's definitely not out favorite and it just taste alcohol or too diluted . We drank it just to drink it. For food we ordered chips and guacamole, truffle fries, buffalo hot wings, Brussels sprouts and a classic burger with a beer. Overall, food is decent in your typical American sport bar food. If k have to pick my favorites out of the stuff we ordered, would be the truffle fries. Even with happy hours pricing.. we spent about $120 on appetizers , two drinks and two beers. As far with the game, I wish it was louder or have better speakers inside. As we walked out, we realized outside speakers is louder than inside

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!
