Very spacious. Chill vibes. We came to watch the Dodger Game. They have a kitchen, I did not order food, but it did smell good. The beer selection is good. The beer was cold. They have games and you can bring your children. Can bring a large group. Staff were friendly. I will definitely come back to have beers and hang out. read more

I actually loved this place, mainly because I was hungry and it was the only brewery of the 3 which had food. The IPA was good and the premium nachos with triple tip were awesome. I usually don't like orange cheese sauce but it was surprisingly good. Outdoor dog friendly too. Service was ok. read more

Tucked in a small industrial area, you'll find the most delicious beer with the best Parmesan Garlic Fries! Mellow spot on a Saturday night, no complaints here. I ordered the Black lager aka General Schwartz and the fries were delicious with the beer! Great service and would definitely stop by again. read more

Whoever decided to discontinue serving 20oz pours to the general public made a horrible decision. Requiring you to be a member to get 4 more ounces....just plain dumb. There are too many good beer places in this area to try to be that exclusive when your beer is just average to begin with. read more

Beers are top notch. Even if you don't like a certain kind of beer, try it here. This place is worth is. Staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. Chance is the man. The Terrifico is the best Mexican lager I've ever had. Will come back here next time I'm in SLO. read more

While typically not a big fan of brewery's -more of a Tavern dive bar guy- I truly enjoyed Central Coast Brewery. George the owner is a class act and really enjoyed and appreciates his customers. I felt like I knew him forever after a few minutes. His staff was responsive and cheerful and really made this old fart and his wife feel appreciated. I don't get into SLO often leaving it to the Polly students but I will come back to visit George and staff. Thank you for the excellent Cerventas (sp) beer. Not sure if this is a warning or a promise but I will be back. Go Poly Rugby!! read more

Great selection of home brewed micro beers. Their food is ok, but the beer is the reason to come for a tasty brew.

Quality beer but subpar food and service. Waited 45 minutes on a moderately busy night for an average burger. No check in from a waitress. No apologies or remedies. I guess that is the risk of tipping up front. read more

Went there with family. Beer is great, atmosphere is nice, employees are friendly. Great place to go and have a beer.

CCB is the place! Great beer and food! Very clean and staff are friendly. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The beer selection is huge and always rotating new styles of beer. 10/10 all around. Solid SLO brewery! read more

The atmosphere here is so relaxed. It's got a gothy vibe but also super chill. I didn't have anything to drink because I like a really sweet cider. But my family got beers and loved them. Even taking some to go. I brought my dog who can be a bit yappy and they were so nice to him even though he's annoying . Lots of dogs here. read more

Loved this place until the short guy with a beard started cussing at customers. Not coming back because it was very unprofessional. Unhappy with how he treated customers. Also the pool tables were broken and stole our money. read more

I was in town for a race, by the time I was done in the afternoon I was in the mood for a beer but I was also starving and needed some real food. Thankfully this location for Central Coast Brewing has both. The bbq bacon burger and fries really hit the spot, I saw someone else with a really good looking pizza, I was so focused on getting a burger I didn't even realize they had pizza. They've got some pretty good beers too, the El Hefe was one of the best Hefs I've had in a while and their Golden Glow blonde was a perfect thirst quencher after a long morning of running. The restaurant/brewery itself is pretty big too. Outdoor seating in the front and back, some big tables inside that hold a groups of 8-10 people. And arcade room near the back outdoor seating area. Overall this is an excellent restaurant/craft beer brewery combo. read more

Such a fun place to hangout! I used to go to the smaller CCB which I still love, but this larger spot is great for big groups. There are different seating areas and the beer and food selection is great, I also love that there is an arcade room. I've come here for celebrations, after work outings, or just a quiet Sunday afternoon and it's always fun! It's located away from downtown on a quieter part of Higuera street so there is an actual parking lot. read more

This was our last stop of the day before we checked into our hotel and it was a great experience. Plenty of space, nice staff, we got a taster of various beers that were all good, we wound up taking some growlers home with us. It seemed cool with the families to bring their kids if they wanted, they had games and an outdoor area to chill at. The TV's in the bar were all showing various channels for anyone who was there, which is nice, instead of only have two that are usually just sports. We had a great experience here. Even the wooden block they brought our beers on was cool. We would totally come here all the time if we lived closer. read more

I ordered the patty melt sandwich & onion rings. It was great! Grilled bread, hamburger, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, pickles, & thousand island type sauce. Well prepared & delicious. The onion rings were crispy & the onion inside of the ring was tender & didn't pull free from the batter. Large restaurant with several seating areas. It had a laid-back vibe on Saturday afternoon. They also host events if you have a large group. In addition to the dog friendly outside patio, there's seating, counter service, & a game room. It's probably a lively place in the evening. The brewing equipment is behind glass inside. They have a loooong row of taps. I don't drink beer, so you'll need to come sample the 20+ flavors for yourself. Cheers! The service was very friendly; I felt welcome. I think it would be a really nice place to get a group together, too. read more

We came here on a mid Saturday afternoon and it was somewhat busy. Short line to get beers. We were able to try a few splashes before we settled on beers. They have a lot of good beers here. The peanut butter breakdown, El hefe, juice alright, pulpin ain't easy, and Mexican fruit salad were all good. Very big brewery. Both indoor and outdoor seating. There's also indoor fooseball table, hockey table, and etc. You just need to leave your ID with the staff to get the Balls or pucks. Parking lot for parking read more

During an event that was booked one night, they intentionally blocked the indoor bathrooms to not allow anyone inside. Instead, they forced everyone to use four porta-potties they set up outside in the parking lot. There was also nowhere to wash your hands. Dozens of people were coming straight from the bathrooms, hands unwashed (because they had no choand going to the buffet style food section... read more

Huge brewery on the outskirts of town. We arrived just after they opened so it was pretty quiet. Dog friendly patio in front and also in back if it's after 2pm for some reason. As for the beer, we liked the Raspberry Sour and the Peanut Butter Stout. Lots of different sizes which we like so you taste more beer! Oh, they have a total of three patio spaces to choose from and a HUGE indoors with games in the back (foosball, air hockey, etc). They have a full food menu too which we might try on a return visit. read more

What an awesome spot! I wish there was a spot like this close to where I live. Great beer, the raspberry flavor was my fave. The tacos were great too. Fun, friendly staff. We were out on the nice big patio in the back with the taco truck. Look forward to going back! read more

Oh man! I fell in love with the beer I got at Central Coast Brewing! I got their coconut Schwarzbier that was simply out of this world! Coconut can easily have too much of a presence in certain things but this was balanced out absolutely perfectly! I simply must try some of their other beer options in future. If the rest are as impressive as the Schwarzbier then this could easily become a favorite brewery of mine in recent times. So I will simply have to put it to the test whenever the opportunity arises again. read more

Came in on a Saturday night. Arrived like 6pm. It is self seating. So there you have to order your food and drinks at the register. If you still want to drink more beers you can keep it open, but you have to leave a card on file. Overall it was good. Kids had a good time in the little arcade/fun area they had. Would come back. Food was not bad. Beer tasted good. I tried the peanut butter bear and it wasn't bad. read more

Good variety of beer and cider. Love the atmosphere. Unfortunately food service was super slow! Finished our first drink and had to order another before we even saw our appetizers. Maybe this is their method of getting you to stick around longer and spend more money.... We ordered lemon pepper wings. Worth the wait?? Absolutely, but if it were my first time here I might have left after the long wait and first drink. read more

I love this place! It's located down Higuera street so it's in a quieter part of town and they have a large parking lot. I have been here just to hang out and have a few beers, been here for a party, come for a meal, and even came to play pool in their back game room. Regardless of the occasion it is always a great time! The beer is fantastic. They have a good food menu with shareables and sandwiches - everything I have ordered here has been tasty. One of my favorite places in all of SLO! read more

SUMMARY: One of many brew pubs in the area with a large indoor (closed due to covid at the time we visited) dining area and a smaller outdoor patio area. Food was not to our liking, beers were good, and the service was excellent. While I believe this should be a 3, the service pushed this over the hump to a 4. BACKGROUND We decided after a few months of Newsom confinement, that we needed to get out of town. We camped in the area and came to this brew pub for dinner and drinks. DRINKS - 4/5 We both got beers, wife got dark beer while I got a lighter beer. As we didn't know what to order and wanted to know what they recommended, the waiter recommended two brews which we both enjoyed. I can't recall exactly what I ordered, but I ordered from their many pilsner choices and the waiter chose well for me. FOOD - 2/5 We were in a steak / beef mood and so we ordered two things to split. Steak tacos and steak salad. They looked delicious when they brought it out, but the steak was cold and tough. Since we ate the salad first, we were surprised that the steak was cold...and tough. While I know that some places serve cold steak on salads, we were a bit aghast that the taco meat was cold. I don't know if they just simply took some of the cold tough steak from the salad and dished it on the tacos, but it sure did taste like it. We were so hungry though that we ate it nonetheless, but we weren't happy after we left. SERVICE - 5/5 We were sat in on part of the patio on the high stools/counter area, but my wife wasn't very comfy (she's short), so we asked the server if we could move to the chairs in front of the restaurant. He was more than accomodating and moved us with no fuss. He was also very attentive. We should've let him know about the cold tough steak, but that would've meant we would've had to have both meals replaced---and we were just happy to have food and ate about ¼ of it by the time he came back to check on us. RETURN VISIT? Hmmmm tough call. If we were in the area, we'd come back for the drinks but definitely not for the food. Never had a taco with cold, tough meat. read more

Beer is okay, nothing to write home to mom about. Good place to charge my EV and have a beer, but the only spot available is not marked clearly. So currently taken by a Honda civic (obviously not an EV). Would be helpful if they marked the spot so people don't block it. Game room is neat. Triva guy had insanely loud music. Food was meh. Tried a pizza. read more

The drive from San Diego to the Bay Area was long, even on a Sunday. So I was eager to stop off roughly halfway to enjoy a nice lunch with the wife. Central Coast was a good choice, with lots of room, plenty of alcoholic options (some of which were appropriately take-out, given that I was driving), and you can't say the place isn't transparent - I think you can see every step of the brewing process from where you sit. Only complaint is the lack of veggie/fish options - the veggie tacos were fine enough, but I was really in the mood for an ultimate burger. I'm guessing time will find that on the menu sometime. read more

I was excited coming in from out of town with a group, we like to try local breweries and like to drink local stuff. Beer was good, I had the nitro stout (okay nothing amazing) and the 2x hazy IPA which was very, very good. The problem was the service. Not sure who the two guys pouring were but wow did they dampen the mood. They were not friendly and not happy to be working there. Made it clear that we were not welcomed. They were just very cold, unfriendly and impatient with us. Also, we tried asking them about local places, beers, food, etc. but it was clear they were not there to make friends. We had our beers and some food and left. We and our group of friends won't be buying this beer or recommending this spot to anyone. Poor experience and unfortunately and unfriendly experience. read more
