    chicken strips and crunchy fries
    Heidi F.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Welcoming local casual bar/restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]... We came 15 minutes before the kitchen closed, and, instead of the usual reluctance you can find near closing time at some places, we were told they would be happy to make our food. The bartender was really friendly and nice and so were the other customers. The cooks were on top of things and got our order exactly right. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The kitchen looked very tidy and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I loved the wood fired pizza. The chicken strips were good, as well.

    We always enjoy our meal at Churchill's. We ordered pizza and beer and was good as always. Customer service is always friendly and helpful. We keep going back again and again!

    Cheers with Brian!

    We were looking for an Aptos "local" restaurant or "pub" to watch the World Cup games and came across this little gem. My wife and I went and had the Chicken tenders and tacos on day one. Everything was so good, that we came back a second night to watch another game and I had the pastrami which wasn't bad. It's no "HAT" pastrami but pretty decent. The beers and brut were good. Wish they carried Prosecco because that's my wife's favorite. All & all, a good time. Brian, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming which made the experience even that much better. Definitely recommend checking this place out when you're in Aptos.

    Nice neighborhood beer pub kinda place. Came here during Burger week to try them out at lunch time. Nothing fancy, but casual friendly atmosphere with good bar food. We ordered... * Western Bacon Burger (1/2 pound Angus beef, cheddar, bacon & onion rings) with a side of garlic fries. Everything was super tasty. Flavorful, juicy beef patty. Garlic fries were fresh out hot, crisp and plenty garlicky ;) * Chicken Cobb Salad was a hearty size, nicely grilled chicken breast, hard boiled egg, avocado, mixed greens. Food was good, but took a while to come out. Nice selection of beers and wine. Service was excellent. Would love to come back to try their Happy Hour.

    Churchill and Beers is everything you want in a neighborhood pub -- great food, great drinks, and excellent, friendly service. The staff were super welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is funky and fun with cool decor celebrating all the Bay Area teams -- SF 49ers, SF Giants, and Golden State Warriors -- so it feels very local and laid-back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food-wise, everything we ordered was delicious. The Western Burger was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The chili and cornbread were standout -- all meat chili (no beans!) with great seasoning, and the cornbread was moist and just a little sweet. We ordered the bread pudding to-go because we didn't want the meal to end! They also have an awesome selection of beers on tap -- something for everyone. Highly recommend if you're looking for a casual spot with great food, a good beer list, and warm, friendly service. Definitely a local gem.

    Always have such a good experience here! Been here a couple of times and no complaints. From the food to the service, everything is always very good! I've tried their Caesar, chicken strips and fries. No complaints! Their quesadilla and nachos are also very good! We recently ordered their wings with all dressings on the side, so good! Parking can be a bit limited, but we've never had any trouble. The service has always been amazing! Went with a pretty big party once and were seated and helped immediately. Definitely recommend!

    Third order of business during my visit to Beer Thirty was to buy my standard vacation souvenir - a…read morebrewpub or taphouse hat. I'm not sad to bench the Pizza Port hat I've kept alive since a San Diego visit in 2022, but it's been in the fight one round too long. I washed it once in the dishwasher, as it claimed it could handle, and the logo is barely legible anymore. I love it, and will keep it, but this Beer Thirty hat is clean. Barely touched. Except by the cat? Some feline fuzz up on that shelf clings to the bill. I don't see a cat anywhere. Nocturnal, perhaps. This lid is bright and optimistic. Gotta don the cap before the sando arrives, lest I prematurely age it with grease spots. For now, it's a pristine, high-contrast, six-color surge atop my ridiculous hair. After lunch, it will probably attract local canines, who love a salted pork perfume with subtle notes of meow. Working backward, the second order of business was to order from the adjacent restaurant, Carpo's. Hard to go wrong with a BLT. Order of business number one, obviously, was to choose my brunch beer. I'm an aging West Coast IPA enthusiast who in recent years has moderated my dwindling prime by embracing West Coast Pilsners as an alternative, and for good reason. After a couple West Coast IPA's I sometimes lose all sense of space, time, propriety. Beers three and four become a forgone conclusion, and then I'll find myself at the Over The Hill Gang Saloon singing Eddie Rabbit to beers number six and seven. The pils, with it's 1.5% reduction in ABV, sets me up for a sustainable buzz and helps reduce the likelihood of my needing bail money later. Today is the first day of vacation, however, so 7% IPA it is! I get most of it down with the appearance of control, without seeming like too much of a day drunk, but I slug back the rest real quick in order to procure the second beer before the BLT arrives. IPA number two and I resettle at the picnic table. And just as I take a fresh swig and exhale the last two weeks of stress, I think to myself. I could sit here all fucking day. Outdoor, shaded patio, about the size of an NBA court. One half allows kids. The other, the one with cornhole, does not. I used to love having a place to take my kids when they were younger, so they could run around and watch me and others drink. Now that the babies are all grown up, I do not want to drink with children. Is that strange? Bully for the owners to consider both approaches. A little after midday on a Monday, there are no kids. Just me, some dude on his phone, and three old hippies, scattered about the place. We, the five of us, are each flying solo. Yet each is more content than the next. No male loneliness epidemic here. Just some dudes zenning out instead of carrying day jobs. "Dennis!?" Carpo's window suddenly is calling my name. Good timing. I was trending toward beers three and four without food in my belly, so this will help slow my roll. Two West coast brews in, it's only 1:30pm. Here, they arm you with a sandwich if you need one and throw you into the ring. One half of the BLT got tabasco, an old fave. The other half got a sriracha I've never seen before. They spar for top masculine condiment. Nobody sticks around to see who wins. Each is its own pre-bout steroidal flex, and like most fights, the interest is in the hype, the build up. When they finally go toes, it fizzles. Indeed by the time I wolfed the first half, I barely tasted the Tabasco. I got some light notes of spice in the sriracha side, but the referee was the story tonight. Mr. Bacon, he ran a steady ship, put a kibosh on all the nonsense, moderated the entire battle with an able, yummy, smoky hand. Casinos and books are usually the real winners in these fights. Their role was today played by toasted sourdough. OMG was the bread good! I have one more swazzle remaining of my beer. Strike that. Two swazzles. Time enough for just a few more words. I will save them for texting my Oakland pals to let them know how much I love this place.

    What a fun spot! We finished a nearby hike and saw the sign on the road as we were heading out to…read moreour hike and we knew it needed to happen on the way back. Great selection of beers, sours, cider, and kombucha. There is an option for food, but we only got drinks. Food looked basic, but I can't attest to it since we didn't make any of it happen. Dogs are allowed, so are kids. lol, there is a kid-free zone if you prefer that is sectioned off. I can see it being a nice option, but it's nice to see families and folks all enjoying the space together. Not much to add other than if you are in the area it is absolutely worth the stop. Service was friendly, disc golf friendly folks (they sell discs), swag to purchase including their super cute glasses which we did go home with. Too cute to pass up.

    Great Food, Great Service & a Manager Who Actually Says Hello!…read more Loved this place! My bride and I had a fantastic experience from the moment we walked in. This restaurant has an incredible indoor and outdoor space, a great menu, and an atmosphere that somehow manages to be both chill and professional. You'll find a wonderfully diverse crowd here, and everyone seems to fit right in. Now, let's talk about the food! I highly recommend the meatballs--they were fantastic! And the garlic bread? Fabulous. Honestly, I could have made a meal out of the bread alone, but I exercised some restraint...because I'm an adult. My bride ordered the hamburger, and she loved it. The salads were excellent, the bread was outstanding, and the dessert selection was enough to make someone suddenly forget they were "too full for dessert." Our server was incredible--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. And then, as if the experience couldn't get any better, the manager actually came out and welcomed us! You don't find that everywhere. That personal touch says a lot about how this place approaches hospitality. Everything was clean, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the ambiance made us want to hang around longer than we probably should have. One warning: Parking can be a bit of a challenge. But trust me, this is one of those places where you circle the parking lot a few times and say, "Lord, give me a parking space!" Yelp Elite verdict: Absolutely worth the hassle! Great food. Great people. Great atmosphere. Great service. And apparently, great managers who actually come out to meet their guests. My bride and I will definitely be back! #YelpElite #FoodieFind #DateNight #GreatFood #GreatService #Meatballs #GarlicBread #DessertLovers #RestaurantReview #WorthTheHassle #FoodAndFun #FiveStars

Other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely come back.

For Sante Adairius the beer that Steve and I had and I can report liked was their IPA known as Spots and Dots. This IPA was a bit more refreshing and fun compared to some IPA'S where it just seems like a blur from one brewery to the next and you wonder if you actually went to a different brewery from the previous one if you have IPA'S back to back. So in this regard I am happy to say that it was distinctive and had it's own signature. Flavor highlights with this IPA are hoppy, juicy and bitter. The beer is also aromatic and smooth. I found out later this brewery makes very good saisons so should the opportunity arise again to get a hold of one I certainly will as I love a good saison!
