    Why I stayed and bought a house in San Diego. Too bad it moved from the Oceanside location but the craft beers are to die for.

    Prey is one of our go-to neighborhood spots and never disappoints. The staff is always awesome --…read morefriendly, welcoming, and consistent. 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!

    Overall, a pretty good place. Prey Brewing is decorated nicely and pretty comfortable. I met up…read morewith some friends (6 of us in total) from work for a midweek get-together. 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.

We used to be regulars at a different place that offered dancing, but that came to an end after having issues with the owners. It left us so sad, especially after supporting and patronizing them for over three years. We started making the 40 minute drive here and it has been so worth it! Every week we are greeted by the wife owner and she is just so friendly. The DJ is also very friendly. He has a song request sheet out for everyone and actually plays requests!! He knows what the people want and reads the room. The brewery allows outside food and allows us to bring water bottles. This is especially great for line dancers who need water frequently! The dance floor is spacious. I love the small-town, cozy vibes it has. You can walk in and out all night if you'd like, and you can see everyone dancing through the windows. We love that there's parking right in front too. The dancing community that shows up weekly is so friendly and we all have the best time. Overall, if you're looking for a beer, to dance, or to just hang out, this place is for you!

I came…read morealone (I'm a woman) and sat at a table to watch the dancing and work up the courage to join in. Many tables around me were completely empty. The bartender/manager approached me and told me I needed to buy a drink or a wristband to sit at a table. I acknowledged him and understood. I am not a drinker, but I was there for the dancing and atmosphere. Two songs later, he came back again and told me I had to buy a drink in order to stay. His tone was rude and not friendly, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. Being approached repeatedly as a single woman sitting alone felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. I came out looking for something new to enjoy on a Sunday night and instead felt pressured to leave. As someone involved in other dance communities, I will be sharing how unwelcoming this place is for newcomers--especially those who don't drink.

    Just wanted to write this review to say a BIG THANK YOU to Draft Republic in SM for having a…read morespeakeasy pop-up for the movie, Wicked. I'm a huge Wicked fan and was excited to see this event advertised on Yelp. This restaurant was the only one in North County I can think of that acknowledged the movie when it was about to be in theaters. First of all, it was easy to get to based on my GPS but kind of challenging to find their parking lot. I ended up finding a 2-hour parking on N. City Drive which was in walking distance. All I was thinking of while walking up to Draft Republic is that this place is massive. Inside, the hostesses verbally instructed me where to go...came across bowling...arcade games...sports on tvs on my way. Behind the curtains, I entered the room in awe. Draft Republic really went ALL OUT!! The Wicked witchy vibe was sooo magical. I loved the beautifuuul Elphaba/Glinda decorations, cleverly creative themed menu option names, actual movie playing in the background, and the take-home momentos. Nick and staff were super wickedly friendly too. The Wicked Bites, Grimmerie Shots and Wickedest Cocktails were all FANTASTIC!!! I definitely tasted Draft Republic's wickedness. I appreciated everything about this experience....well well done. What a WICKED TIME! I hope there are more speakeasy pop-ups in the near future :-)

    I want to start by saying that for whatever my opinion matters (and it should matter very little),…read morethis is just how I came away feeling about this place. Because Draft Republic is a rough place to quantify. The food is pretty good; if going off that alone, this place would easily be four stars in my eyes. But, it's not ... Draft Republic is trying to be a bit closer to like a mini Dave & Buster's (a place I have come pretty close to loathing). With an arcade, a bowling alley, a golfing simulator, a full bar, pretty extensive menu, good music, and a fantastic staff, they really have a lot going for them with a little something to make anyone happy. My own issue deals solely with the cost. Came here with my son, all we did was eat two entrees and an appetizer between us, and did nothing else. With drink and after tax and tip, the cost was well over $90. No games, no play, just burgers (plus fries and poke tacos) for two, costs as much as many Californian's net after a full day of work. When you're used to feeding the whole family for about half as much when going out (or a little more when eating sushi), that price was a bit rough. Still, the food is very good. My son and I each ate The Draft Republic Burger. It was perfectly cooked, juicy, very flavorful, and the toppings were high quality. The fries were crisp and salted well. And the side salad wasn't too bad. Both of us ate our entrees and gave it high marks. We had started with the Tres Poke Tacos, where the Tuna was very tasty, steeped in a flavorful marinade, and felt nice and fresh. Definitely a good starter. And the restaurant itself is gorgeous. A lot of space, beautifully furnished, kind of industrial meets art deco with some new age greenery architecture thrown in. I like it a lot. But, as an aging Gen-X'er, who used to go to arcades back in the day, and hates what new arcades have become, the amenities are under appreciated by me. All of that pads the price tag a bit out of what I am willing to pay just for dinner. Which may not be fair to Draft Republic, but that's where it left me.

The beers here are off the charts and they have a good FLIGHT deal on Google so wise to check before arriving. I just had an amazing flight with truthfully the best beers I've ever had in my life and I'm old- and there happens to be a vendor here slinging pizzas that are out of this world. We just had a really nice cheese pizza with honey and basil and I think it was Doppio zero flour.... Insane in the membrane, insane!

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. Every pour feels deliberate, like someone cared a little too much--in the best possible way. The Promise Porter... that one sticks with you. Dark, rich, almost haunting. 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. And then there's Diamond Dust--reliably delicious, always exactly what it should be. No surprises. Just excellence. But places like this aren't just built on what's in the glass. They're built on the people behind it. Jake, Erny, Brian, Tiffany--names you remember because they make sure you feel like you belong there, like you've stepped into something just a little bit special. If you're chasing great beer, you could look elsewhere. But you shouldn't.

Parking can be found on the street or in one of the few pocket parking lots nearby. The parking lot across the street (half asphalt & half dirt lot) is a little confusing because there are tow away signs which made us think we couldn't park there, so we eventually found a spot at one of the side streets.

    What does it say about me that I picked this place for dinner because it has "beaver" in the name?…read moreI don't want to know! But my excuse is that I did it for the children. Inexplicably, my kids love beavers, and so when we were staying in Carlsbad for the night and looking for a place to eat, how could we not visit a place called Belching Beaver? We couldn't not! And so we did. It turns out, Belching Beaver is a very family-friendly brewery, with lots of arcade games, lawn games, and an extremely laid-back atmosphere. I wasn't going to get a beer, but then I saw that the brewery did a collaboration with the Deftones to create an IPA called Phantom Bride. I had to get a pint. Chino Moreno made me do it! It was citrusy and refreshing, and just the thing to enjoy while sitting on the outdoor picnic tables. Belching Beaver offers your average pub food. My kids got chicken tenders and fries, and mac and cheese with fries. I got a poke bowl, which sounds like a risky choice at a brewery, but it was actually really good and fresh! Not too saucy, either. We also got the carne asada 980 Nachos, which are huge and come on a baking sheet. Plenty enough to share! This place is tucked away in what looks like an office plaza. I'm learning that a lot of breweries in this area are posted up in situations like this. You look like you're driving into a nondescript place to get your contract notarized, but instead, you happen upon a cool restaurant and brewery such as this.
