Super dope spot for a group looking to slug some beers and play some games . The uniquely large game were super entertaining, and after an hour or so we made our way to the back of the bar and played some of the board games they offered! Only reason it's 4/5 is because the Mexican lager was really not my cup of tea (and i love Mexican lagers). Something seemed off.. But the west coast was pretty good, nothing crazy. Bartender was a chill dude, will be back read more

Actually, one of my favorite places we visited on our OB Brewery crawl. The location is kind of something you need to see for yourself. Lots of blue light and colors that stand out from a black background, but a really easy place to hang out. Some games to play as well. The staff was really cool and knew a lot about the beers. I went with the Maple Smoked Maibock ($8.75) and wow, they were not kidding! I got a really nice combo of smoke with candied bacon. I really liked it, and it did not drink like a 7%. I got a taster of the Pickle beer ($2.50), had to, and I liked it too. It should not work but wow it's really easy to drink at 4.3%. For a cool brewery with really different types of beers (and regular ones too), this is the place! read more

Ocean Beach is a great spot for a beer crawl and this place should be high on your list to include in your tour. Lots of IPAs so only fitting to have a flight for my styles and my brother who was joining me on this beer tour. Loved the outdoor area, perfect spot for a December evening read more

Kilowatt Brewing - Seemed like a great place to have a flight - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

A lot of bars will have, at best, simple bar games and a few board games, but this one is almost centered around them. They had tones of free ones that were not crowded and most of which I had never seen. The lighting is also fun and unique as well. It is similar to an arcade style without being too jarring. The beer itself was good as well. I got a hazy and it was nice and refreshing on the hot day we got there on. There was some nice outdoor seating that, even with a nice sunset, wasnt too crowded. Overall a nice place with atmosphere that mixes it up from the usual. read more

I had seen this place either on TikTok or instagram and it immediately caught my attention. A cool ambiance, games, AND beer? Girllll, count me in. We grabbed five different small ones because flights are always fun and they had an interesting variety of flavors. Our favorite beer ended up being the pickle one, we grabbed a four pack on the way out. If this place wasn't two hours away from me, I would be here so often. This is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to whenever I'm in San Diego. read more

This is the coolest brewery i've ever been to. I recommend going at night because the black lights are so fun. They have 3D glasses you can use to walk around and look at the art work. The deck is very cool too. There are so free games to play while you are there as well as a variety of drinks. They do flights and have options like pickle beer if you want to get adventurous! If you're like me and not a beer drinker, they have cider. But my favorite options are their frozen drinks. Yummy! read more

Absolutely, Positively the BEST brewery in the Ocean Beach area. First and foremost the variety of beer is so good that you've got to try as many as you can. I had a flight to start and all of the 5 beers I tried were excellent. I favor dark beers so I went full pour on my absolute favorite, Chocolate Macadamia Stout. The OB Bubble Dubble a dark Belgian Ale was right up there as well. As you take your time drinking your favorite, enjoy the VERY COOL vibe. The blacklight along with posters and artifacts bring out the atmosphere of one FUN place. They've got a lot of games to play as well. On our trip to San Diego, (we stayed near Ocean Beach) we started here as our first stop and then 5 days later we made it our last stop. Just had to have one more of that Chocolate Macadamia Stout. Christie our bartender the first time was just so nice and accommodating in answering all my questions and letting me taste samples. She was just pleasant as pleasant can be. SO, if you're looking for GREAT beer at a brewery with a GREAT vibe with absolutely GREAT bartenders, check out Kilowatt Brewing in Ocean Beach. You WILL NOT be disappointed. read more

Have been a regular since Kilowatt opened a decade ago. Ironically the founder's name is Stone! They have a wide selection of beers with something for everyone. Slushies are on tap for non beer drinkers. I'm not a fan of kids hanging out at breweries but if that's your thing they have tons of games. I drank one too many pickle beers the other night and left my hat behind. Returned the next day and they had saved it for me. Thanks Kilowatt! read more

Fun location and a great date spot to start the night or ring in the end of a fun evening. Cool games to play, awesome art and visuals on the walls and great beers read more

Good beers... bad service. The dude working here is seriously bothered by customer interaction. He seems like he'd really prefer if we didn't bother to order or ask any questions. I'm giving it 3 stars for the product. But moving on because I'd rather drink somewhere I feel like I'm not bothering the server. read more

Great games and a great location! The beers were a bit pricier than we are used to, but seemed comparable to other breweries in the area. It is close to the beach and a lot of other restaurants. They use glasses for the beer, which is practically a requirement for good beer in my book. Service was very friendly, and the tables were pretty clean. The restrooms were a bit dirty, but they also had hand sanitizer outside the bathroom which I appreciated. We found parking pretty close and were able to walk to the beach. read more

A psychadelic neon fest of beer! Kilowatt Brewing is a super cool spot with lots of games, lights, and of course beer. You can't miss the lights from the street as both the outside and inside are extremely colorful. I love how many different games they have too. They have fun group games like a maze and balance game. Plus they have board/card games in the back too that you can use. And next to the games, they have 3-D glasses you can wear to see the bar in a whole other way. We went before dinner on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. I got a flight of beer and I'd say that the ones I got weren't too memorable. I'm not sure what the maximum number is but the bartender said that you can have a flight in any 4/5 (maybe more?). But overall I think Kilowatt is a great place to hang out with friends since there's so much to do and see! read more

What a place! Not only are they a brewery but they are a place where your imagination and sense of competition can go wild! They have lots of games to play, 3D glasses and infinity mirrors! Not to mention the art! Neither my wife nor I drink beer which was no problem at this neon gem! They had 3-4 seltzer or malt liquor based drinks some of which were brightly colored alcoholic slushies! We sipped on the watermelon seltzer and took in the sights of all the cute dogs coming and going on a Sunday afternoon. It was truly a perfect random stop. The guy who helped us out had vibes just as chill as the spot he worked in! This place lights me up with 1000 Kilowatts of coolness! read more

Recently came in to a hat painting event with the fabulous Azul. This was my first visit to this location and definitely not my last! I love the decor and the lighting (black light). The place was clean and everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. They explained the beers and assisted me in my selection, 250kWh IPA. I also tried their slushies which I must say were perfect! Not too sweet. The hat painting event itself was so much fun!!!! If you haven't been to one of the classes with Azul, I strongly recommend trying it out. Cheers! read more

First of all, WOW. I went here for the first time with a friend and was very impressed with the atmosphere. Bartender was really nice. Drinks were alright, I didn't try any food. They have a lot of old-school games here for both adults and kids. This place seems kid friendly, too, if you have kids. I really regret not taking photos of this place! read more

I'm so happy that we returned to kilowatt but at their other location and that their beers are still fabulous. My husband got the bubble double, and the pale in the IPA and all three of them were fabulous. It's very rare to have multiple beers in a flight. Be absolutely delicious. This may be his favorite place in all of San Diego for a beer. The atmosphere is really cool and the staff are really sweet too. read more

Totally impressed with this bar! Very beautiful and fun interior with great drinks. I got the peach slushie which was sweet and very boozy. Maple smoked maibock was really good too highly recommend. This place is very family and dog friendly. There is indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. Parking was on the Main Street downtown. There was one bar tender in there she was really sweet and quick. Great location by the beach. Bathrooms were clean and had a cool mural inside. I would come here again. read more

Kilowatt is tops in OB for ambiance, art and good vibes when it comes to breweries. The adult slushies are dynamite, especially when paired with a light and refreshing beer like the K-Pop. Tasters for everything allow you to mix and match, and try new things for a low price. Bartenders are always helpful and friendly. Will be back soon! read more

Kilowatt Brewing - Delightfully weird art in the bathroom nook corner - Breweries Near Me - San Diego, California

We were able to get super comfy at this location, after having a hearty meal at a restaurant down the street. We'd actually planned on sitting outside with our beers, but all the barrels under shade were taken and neither of us wanted to risk burning my husband's dome, so we found a table inside to settle in at (bonus in that they let the pup in there with us.) They were super busy that day - lots of large parties and groups with kids - but the one guy working the bar was attentive and friendly. They also had a solo performer to entertain the masses, who served up late 70's and 80's covers from his corner near the merchandise. I started my night with a pour of the Chocolate Macadamia Stout (super rich, super nutty, super chocolatey); followed up with the Pineapple Coconut Blonde (the coconut hits you straight away, the pineapple kind of limps along afterwards); and finished the day with the Strawberry Blonde (the strawberry flavor didn't come through immediately, but once it hit, it was like strawberry jam.) I have to give Kilowatt props on their flavor game. Usually, when a brewer claims one of their concoctions has a certain flavor, I nod my head and smile, knowing it will never taste the way they think it's supposed to taste. But with Kilowatt, if they tell you it's coconut, or strawberry, or macadamia or chocolate, you better believe it is. I'm eagerly awaiting fall, in the hopes that they brew up a pumpkin stout. Because y'all know I haven't yet found a pumpkin ale that got the flavors right. This is one of my husband's new favorite breweries, as well. He fell in love with their Sour Peach Cobbler - so much so that he drank it almost exclusively that day. We're definitely fans, and I'm pushing for us to check out their Clairemont location next. read more

They bought the Kearny Mesa Bowling Alley license at the Clairmont one so they have full liquor. I don't prefer their beers a lot of them finish sweet and malty even the IPAs. I'll get a Tito's and soda here. Super dog friendly. read more

Stopped here on our way to the beach mainly to use the bathroom, but we grabbed a beer to make it fair. The place has a unique family vibe an appears to have dedicated regulars. On the ceiling there are numbered mugs that look like they are for those aforementioned regulars. My gf grabbed a slushee and it was pretty good. A bit of the beaten path, but a nice spot overall. read more

I went to Kilowatt as I was told that it is a must. And they were not wrong. This is a very cool place to hang. Beer was good, the ambiance is like that of your 14 year old friends growing up that smoked weed. Black lights and some killer art. Lots of games and just a fun place to be. The people there felt a little judgey, some stared way too much and I probably would have stayed longer if it wasn't for that. However, it is a great place to check out/ possibly have a trip at. read more

We tried the speak easy bar. You have to make an online reservation. Once inside the look was nice. Black lights and a vibrant tiki theme. Very colorful. But the very loud(speakers) jazz music was not fitting the vibe. It felt out of place and didn't work. The drinks were ok. But a little too much of a twist in the originals. The old fashioned had a sweet bitters and coconut(fitting the vibe look, not sound). It was ok. But was also 17 bucks. read more

We loved Kilowatt!!! Kitschy and friendly, loved the music all afternoon sitting in the breezeway with a few delectable beers. Great service in a terrific location. read more

This place is a trip! I was amazed with the vibe, decor, and games avaliable at this brewery. I loved watching the patio ceiling change colors while enjoying my beer. I had the pineapple coconut blonde, I enjoyed it since I love fruity beers. There is both indoor and outdoor seating avaliable. In the back area, there are some 3D glasses you can try on & look at all the art/lights. I found it to be pretty cool, however it may be overwhelming for some. Such a unique and fun brewery, I will be back again. read more

Kilowatt Brewing is a vibe! I came here with one of my good friends after we bought food at the Ocean Beach Farmer's Market, so we could sit down, eat, catch up, and have a drink of course. I really enjoyed my Orange Mango Hard Seltzer Slush on the recommendation of the lovely lady working the counter. The inside is glow-in-the-dark neon with ample opportunities for a photo shoot (of your drink or of yourself if you have on neon or reflective clothing) so of course, I couldn't help myself. Haha All in all, I'm really glad my friend took me to this little gem of a place. I def reccomend stopping by for a drink if you find yourself in the Ocean Beach area of San Diego. read more
