    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.

Even though he wasn't our server, he consistently checked in on us, stayed on top of drink refills, cleared plates promptly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Devin has an incredibly positive attitude and clearly takes pride in providing great customer service. He's attentive without being intrusive, friendly with every guest, and brings a level of professionalism that's becoming harder to find. You can tell he genuinely cares that people have a great experience. Big shout out for the amazing service!

    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.

    This was my first and last visit to this location…read more We came for trivia night and were shocked by how rude and hostile the female bartender was. I initially brushed it off as a fluke, but as the night went on it was clear it wasn't just me. Multiple people in our group and others experienced the same behavior throughout the night when ordering food and beer despite being polite and friendly to her. The final straw was when our friend was walking to his car with his 2 kids and she goes out of her way to yell, "Bye, princess!" At this point enough is enough and we asked to speak to the manager. As we are explaining to him the crazy aggressive interactions we had she began yelling at us from behind the bar and even raised her hands as if she wanted to fight. Now things are getting heated and we asked for our bill before it escalates any further. The manager passively apologized for her and comped one of our tabs but didn't leave us confident anything would actually change. I thanked him for his gesture but explained it's not about the money, it's the crazy treatment to customers just trying to enjoy their night. After reading other yelp reviews, it's clear this isn't an isolated issue. It's unfortunate because we love Pizza Port, but we won't be back to this location. The food was decent and the rest of the staff was friendly and helpful, but one employee completely ruined the experience.

I plan to come here as many times as I can as I have never seen a brewery this beautiful and to be truthfully, I wanna live here lol. This place is just gorgeous, when you walk in, the main room just opens up into this beautiful spacious BIG room with so much natural light that it floors you on just how beautiful this place is! There is also an outdoor area and oh my! It was like a botanical garden here and they also have a fountain where they have fish swimming in it. A worker here was about to feed the fish when we showed up and asked some kids dining outside with their parents if they wanted to help feed the fish. How awesome! We were a party of 10 and got sat at an outside table. It was just a lovely afternoon to experience this venue. I ordered a habanero margarita and asked that the tequila be substituted with mezcal and that was doable. This drink was OK and next time, I might just get a beer. I had the poke nachos again and wow they were so good. I could eat this every day lol. A few other friends also ordered this dish too. Its popular and I can see why. We had a lovely time here and I am so glad I got to experience this place before it closes. NOOOOOO! I certainly hope it is just temporary and they continue to do something fun with this place. Truly a gem in Escondido! I loved it!

But the beer flight was enough for me. The FOOD was also very tasty!! We weren't that hungry coz we just came back from Safari Park. We already had food at the elephant valley restaurant there so we were only planning to get some drinks and snacks. We got the buffalo wings and their bolognese pasta. It was SO good that we will come back soon even though we live like an hour away. Sad news is that they're closing in November :( So go get your food and drinks before they close down. It was such a great place to relaxed before we hit traffic after the Safari Park! And they're super dog friendly too! Bonus point for sure! Even though we didn't have our dogs with us.

Great flavor and so smooth. Food was really great - our table ordered the Buffalo chicken dip (huge portion of chips and the dip was delicious) for an appetizer- I think it arrived in three minutes. Carne asada tacos, fries and farmhouse salad with chicken and the beef sandwich were all super tasty. We had to try a dessert and it was hard to pick just one as they all sounded so good - landed on the apple crisp and it was perfect and the best warm caramel sauce. Food is fresh, good quality and everything was great. Service for drinks was the fastest I've ever encountered in any restaurant- seriously! For as large as this place is, they have it running like a machine with food runners and wait staff choreographed perfectly. It's also a neat atmosphere, lots of tables, full bar and good vibe. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience. Highly recommend.
