    The ambiance was cool! We went to see the live performances there and we all had a good time. The beer was pretty good (the fruit flavored ones weren't really my thing, but the bartenders there are friendly and accommodating). The food trucks they had there had delicious carne asada tacos and nachos too!

    OMG, the beer here is fantastic. It's different, fruity, almost like a juice bar, with a kick. I tried the 'Green Jello Smoothie Ale'. Totally delicious. One is not enough. I am prefer a blonde or stout ale and stay away from the fruity beers, but wow, this one was good. The service is very good, the server was more than happy to tell us about their beers. The place was much like you would expect at a place that was in its infancy, bare bones but not too bad. I have been to worse. It was wrestling night and there was a ring outside & some amateur wrestlers, fun stuff. When friends come into town, I'll take them there.

    First time in and LOVE it. The ambiance is crazy in here because all they want you to do is feel like you're at home drinking beer. There's tv for you to watch (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc) and the number one thing is The drinks are to DIE FOR. the Conejo named after the rapper is THEE BEST hazy I've had. My gf had the Yotelada which is named after the rap group Coyote and that is THEE best michelada I've ever had by far! The cool part is you expect like Tajín on rim but it is like it's all mixed in there and it's BOMB. The owner/beertender is friendly as heck and it's like no other, yall definitely need to stop by when you're in area or want to go to a brewery! This is up and coming and I can't wait to see the progress! 20/10 will def be coming back

    This is their frozen slushie multi fruit sour beer. It was amazing!

I ordered two beer flights as it was my first time visiting, and was able to try 8 different beers with the help of my gf. However, the one that stood out to me the most was the pineapple hefe that I'll have to return soon for a full pour. The staff was also really cool, even offering some refrigerated chocolate covered strawberries from an event the day before (Don't mind if I do). Despite there being other breweries in the area, Michi Brew is unique in its tropical-inspired selection of beers with a familiar, laid back spirit that is reminiscent of Hawaii.

    This place is great!…read more Wife and I came out on a date night to this local spot we've been trying to come to for months. It was on a Friday night, the place was packed, and difficult to find a spot to park. The line to order was almost out the door, but still fast to get through, and we were quick to choose what we wanted before struggling to find a spot to sit and talk. After about 15 minutes, our order was ready and we got to enjoy our food. We started with the Carne Asada Nachos, Refried Beans on the side. The meat was flavorful, very tender, and plentiful atop a pile of crisp and fresh tortilla chips. The cheese was nice and salty and the sour cream was warm to the point where it drizzled over it all nicely. All in all, it was a very tasty start to the night. The only two issues I had with it were that the guac was a bit overly pureed, making it kind of runny. And the refried beans had a very sour flavor, making me think that they were over the edge of going spoiled. I had to thank my wife's aversion to eating beans, helping us avoid having them spooned on top, which would have ruined this course. I also had an Al Pastor Taco, Craft Coast Style. The whole it was crisped up well, the cheese forming a great crust on the inside of the taco. The meat was sweetly marinaded, flavorful and delicious. On top of it was a good amount of beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole, making for a good sized taco without any overflowing. It was pretty damn tasty. So, our first trip out here had more highs than lows, resulting in a very positive initial dinner. I'm sure those beans were just a one-off, at least I hope they were. And there's still hope that the guac may have had too much lime or had been overly mixed this time around. A second trip is definitely in the cards, with more of the family to expand what comes to the table.

    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.

    To say I was blown away would be an understatement…read more Most breweries outsource their food (which is perfectly fine) or offer chips or popcorn or other light snacks. This place has a full blown menu with absolutely excellent food and an enormous beer and wine list (including tons of beers from other breweries). The food here is not "hey, you're at a brewery, the beer comes first" food. This food is absolutely legit. Bring your family. Bring your kids. I cannot say I am a patty melt expert but my patty melt (with bacon added) was, by far, the best patty melt I have ever had in my life. I could almost dream about it. It was an absolute enormous thing, and the patty was juicy and humongous and I loved every cheesy, bacony, meaty bite of it. Bring your snake jaws for this one. The sliders with bacon and cheese were also excellent. The buns were a step above normal buns but they definitely added to the meal. For the beer, I went with a flight of very heavy stouts and barrel-aged brews. I liked them all but the one from the bourbon barrel was magnificent and I also made sure my designated driver took the wheel on the way home. Some of these beers are quite powerful. I am not a dessert guy, or a root beer guy, but the root beer float was insane. It is a thing of beauty. Our service was wonderful and the interior decor of the restaurant was fun and interesting. Fantastic food. Very good beer. Plenty of free parking in the lot. I cannot believe I have never been here before. I hope to visit again soon.

I would never come back here again. Overcooked fried fish tacos, overdone French fries and Caesar like "salad in a bag". Our server was immediately not interested in us when we did not order alcohol and then never offered or refilled our water even one time. Big location. It was not packed so there was zero excuse for how bad it was.

    Churchill's Pub & Grille is a lively neighborhood dive bar with games, music, and a super fun,…read morelaid-back vibe. 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!

    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.
