They offer beers from around the area, great cause you get some from SD and LA in one spot. Small main room (20 people or so) with 1 little beer garden with 4 picnic tables, and a smaller 3 tables right out front. Nothing crazy but a good reliable spot in Dana Point to chill. There's a small dog park right next to it, so great place to bring your pets to the beer garden if it's not too hot read more

Beer: I tried the Futuristics Paradise. It was a triple-hazy IPA with a 10.4 ABV. I think you should get this drink if you like strong IPAs. I also thought it was cute that they had a fruit juice flight for kids. It had different juices, like apple, grape, etc. Service: The service is always lovely, and the guy behind the counter is very knowledgeable. Ambiance: The ambiance is good. The music is chill and groovy. It is just a chill place. Overall rating a solid 5.0 read more

Dana Point Ale House is a great local spot to grab a brew with friends or family in a casual, friendly and clean locally owned pub. The Dana Point Ale House also hosts monthly "Trivia Nights" to test your knowledge with friends and locals for small gift card prizes (more about bragging rights than cash incentives). read more

I like the open-&-airy feel inside offering a variety of seating options inside, as well as a few seats & small tables outside, in front; in addition, there are a few picnic tables to accommodate larger groups and a couple of cornhole boards in a gated side section. On this first visit, I immediately felt at ease after being cheerfully greeted and offered assistance, if needed. I'm not much of a knowledge when it comes to drinking beer but I'm ALWAYS game to try and experience craft beers (especially when among my beer-drinking family) -- and I LOVE to taste! There were interesting options among the different beer styles. How fun and thoughtful to even include a Kids Juice Flight with Gold Fish ($7)! I enjoyed reading the story about this Dana Point native returning to his community -- which makes me want to support him even more! read more

My husband is always looking for craft breweries when we travel so this was a fantastic find! Christian curates an excellent selection of craft beer from across the state. My IPA loving husband was happy. My hop-resistant palate had sours, seltzers, and kombucha to choose from. We had planned a few stops for our afternoon but sat down here and never left! Was nice to see how family friendly they are with changing tables in bathroom and a kids juice flight with goldfish! And you can tell what a fixture Christian and this place are in the community with regulars and other business owners stopping in for a drink and chat. Good beer. Good people. Good vibes. We'll be back! read more

My friend and I decided to stop in and have a beer because she told me that this is her favorite brewery. The brewery is light and airy with large windows and doors and it has a large patio on the side of the building as well as a smaller one in front of the building. The beer choices are quite extensive and we were lucky to have the business owner, Christian, to help us make good choices based on what we like in beer. I had a Hazy IPA and brought home a stout for my honey. The food choices are limited but there are options to get food delivered to the brewery if you choose to do so. Christian opened the brewery in 2022 and I have to say that I have really missed the boat by not having discovered this place sooner. They are dog friendly and kid friendly. They even have dog treats for your pup and a juice flight with goldfish crackers for the kids. The beer choices are amazing and I can't wait to go back and try some more. Do yourself a favor and try this brewery out...you won't be disappointed. read more

Came here for some drinks with family and honestly such a great spot. Great options but not overwhelming.. my husband loved their seltzers and I forgot what I got because I'm not a big beer drinker but it was great .. chill spot with indoor and outdoor seating .. the guy working there was seriously the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Just an awesome person! Truly. read more

Great place to gather with friends for beer. We came here for trivia night. It was oooook but I've been to smoother run trivia nights. There is a decent variety of beer. I do wish they had more fruit ciders and perhaps offer wine for those in the party that don't drink beer. They have some snacks but no food but you can order food from other places or bring your own food. No heat lamps outside so dress warm. Good service overall. read more

One our fav spots! DP Ale House represents our beautiful city so well! The beer tap selection is always fun and they participate in city events which is super cool. Perfect for all people and pups! They are even so creative with juice flights for kiddos. The best!!!! read more

This one is my second time here. I happened to pass by this location last week, liked it so I returned yesterday. There is a variety of beer and hard seltzer so you'll find something you'll like. The menu changes often, every week or so. I like the setting and decor of the location, especially since they have a piece of Dana Point's history hanging as a light fixture from the city's ship. Christian, the owner and bar tender, is a very nice, friendly person who pays attention to everyone and keeps the place very clean. We tried and like Hockey Fight, Old Hardee's, joe Long Beach, Tropical Mist. There are also some snacks that you can purchase, and board games that you can play. There are seating inside and outside. Street parking only. I would recommend this brewery and will be back. read more

An absolute gem in the neighborhood! Super cute taproom with a rotation of mainly socal microbrewery beers- but my fave is usually the hard seltzers- so delicious, you will never go back to canned again! Love that we also get to support local small businesses too! Pro tip- they're open earlier than a lot of the food spots in the area, so it's the perfect place to meet up with friends before lunch or HH! They sometimes have an amazing taco pop-up so follow them on Instagram- but they always have tasty snacks available to buy too! Points for cutest tasting flight boards too. read more

It's just beer, no wine... I guess the name is just that. "Ale" .. cute and mellow vibe. Nice patio to sit out on and people watch. Just needs some music outside. They have a huckleberry ale that is the closest to a wine. It's a dog friendly location outside on the patio. read more

Dana Point Ale House - Beer! - Beer Bar Near Me - Dana Point, California

Come here for the 25 rotating craft beers on tap plus some Kombucha and wine chilling in the fridge. Yes they have soda products too and a bunch of snacky items like chips and nuts but not a full meal. Assume they let you bring in outside food if you want to picnic there. Definitely dog friendly and you can park your bicycle on the outside patio which is nice. The owners are welcoming and friendly. Only complaint is the acoustics are very loud with only a few people the noise level echos off the ceilings and hard to have conversations at times. read more

This is a cool little pub-like spot with a nice curated selection of beers. Sadly too many IPAs but people in SoCal love nasty, super strong beer. Proof prefer drunk over flavor but I digress haha! It's a ver small intimate location, it's in a new building so it's clean. The staff is friendly. My only complaints are that they should offer more snacking options... even bar food like peanuts, pickles, cheese and crackers... light snacks - and more non-IPA beer selections. read more
