    Friendly spot with great bartenders. It's located smack in the middle of Mira Mesa in the only bowling alley in the area

    I'll be honest--the only reason I go to Brewskis as often as I do is because of the bartender…read moreRayne. The arcade games, pool tables, and big sports screens are great, but Rayne is what makes the place special. She is genuinely one of the best bartenders I've ever met. Her drinks are always perfect, she moves insanely fast behind the bar, and she somehow still takes the time to be super friendly with everyone. The energy she brings completely changes the vibe of the whole place. There are a lot of bartenders out there, but Rayne is on another level. Brewskis wouldn't be the same without her, and honestly if she's working you know you're going to have a great night.

    I can't say enough great things about this bartender. From the moment we sat down, they brought…read moresuch an incredible energy to the bar -- welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It's rare to meet someone who can balance efficiency and personality so effortlessly. Not only were the drinks absolutely top-tier, but Rayne also took the time to ask what we liked and made thoughtful recommendations that were spot on. You can tell she truly understands their craft and care about giving guests a memorable experience. What really stood out was Rayne's ability to read the room. Whether it was keeping the vibe upbeat and fun or taking a moment to have a meaningful conversation, Rayne knew exactly how to make everyone feel comfortable and valued. Great bartender, even better human. If you're lucky enough to grab a seat at their bar, you're in for a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back! Thank you, Rayne!!

    Since it was on our way home.... The hubby and I tried the speakeasy Forbidden Cove. Great service…read more(they were able to squeeze us in). It was such a great experience. The drinks were top notch. The kahlua pork sliders were yummy. The atmosphere was super chill. You need a miniature tiki totem pole to enter the secret door. That was EXTRA cool. * Hawaiian Mai Tai * Lychee Moon * Banana Chi Chi * Krunky Punch * Kahlua Pork Sliders w/ Macaroni Salad & Sunomono Salad #DiningWithTheAndersons #Speakeasy #ForbiddenCove #AdultShenanigans #TryingNewPlaces

    Be prepared to bring multiple forms of ID if you want to go here. I had been here once before few…read moremonths ago where I had a good experience. I came here again last night with friends and began to check in for our reservation with the bartender (the same bartender who had let me in the last time I was here). He spent a long time inspecting my CA REAL ID before going into the back. He returned and said he can't let me in since he doesn't trust my ID. He said store policy is that they have to be able to feel the imprint on your license's signature, which even he admitted that he could, but it was too faded so he wouldn't let me in. I showed him matching credit cards, Costco membership, and CA DMV mobile drivers license, but he still refused and pleaded ignorance. He gave me my driver's license back and said I'm lucky because he normally keeps fakes (thanks for the empty threat). In reality, he knew my license was legitimate and didn't want to have the cops called on him. This place really needs to update their policies and train their staff better on how to identify legitimate IDs. I'm definitely not gong to bother coming here again and will make sure I recommend others not to come here.
