This summer they have been hosting the sour spot tournaments at this venue and this place has an attentive beer tapper who has extensive knowledge on the craft beers that are brewed and made here locally in San Diego. They also have other locations. I believe one in Ocean Beach as well, but this place right here is kind of hidden deep in warehouse territory, but nonetheless, after having tried the stout and the barley wine, it is so worth having during a hot summer session with my pals and trying to get further into the bracket for Super mash Bros Melee!

The upstairs was closed, but the downstairs was packed with people both inside and outside. The bartender was great. The beer selection was solid, and I really enjoyed their hazy IPAs. We also tried their bbq pizza, and it was a standout. The crust was super crispy, and the flavor overall was really good. Overall, this is a lively spot that's perfect for watching a game. Tons of TVs throughout, great beer, and excellent pizza. It's got a fun, social vibe and is an easy place to hang out with friends for a game or a casual night out.

Just a note that whereas this bar apparently used to be dog-friendly many years back (based on…read moremultiple pre-Covid reviews), their current policy is that only service animals are allowed inside. My experience here has always been a good one, with great beers on tap, very friendly servers, and just a fund place to hang out for foosball, pool, or darts (albeit I think they only have one of each of those, so on a crowded night there might be a line to get to your game of choice); if memory serves they also have a stack of boardgames people can use while there.

Not too busy as they just finished up a Music Bingo game. Ben the bartender was very nice. Not too big of a tap room but a nice vibe anyway, UNTIL a dog in the bar peed in the middle of the floor about 3 feet from me. I'm not talking a few drops, I'm talking a LOT of pee. NOT COOL at all. I know there's not an outdoor area at this location so needless to say should not have dogs. Granted the dog owner went in the back and got a mop & bucket but just pushed it around. Drank my beer and left.

I was happy to hear they offered karaoke too so my friend & I put our name down for a duet (the iconic HSM, "Breaking Free"). Upon coming to the bar, there were a few other groups but it wasn't crowded yet. It was about 30 minutes later, and several more people had come to the bar now. My friend went up to ask the guy (leading the karaoke) a question. At this point he tells her: "well, I already played your chosen song an hour ago...and it's the same crowd, so...". There wasn't a conclusion if he was asking us to choose another song or if he was just giving his personal opinion. We also simply disagreed that it was the same crowd as an hour ago, and also I didn't realize there was a rule about playing the same song per hour? Given there wasn't a conclusion from the conversation, my friend & I decided to keep our chosen song since we were looking forward to singing it. 10 more minutes passed and we were next in line. My group came up to the stage to get ready for when we were called. But then, we were skipped! The audacity! Someone else from my group went up to address why we were skipped. He said "I just won't play that song!". Honestly I'm wondering if he just had a personal issue with that song lol. Like bro just play it for three minutes and make the customers happy? Since we were upset about his power trip, we took our buisness to Redwing. I am happy we made this move. I will say, the drink pitchers are worth the money & the bartender was nice. The cup pong was fun entertainment.

They also offer a great happy hour special Tuesday through Friday with $5 off pizzas. I don't remember the exact hours, so you'll want to check those before visiting. One of the things I love most about this place is the variety. There are three different brewery stations throughout the venue. I got a flight from the back room, where they serve mead, which is tough to find around San Diego. I ordered a flight, which came with six selections, and every single one was excellent. The staff here are fantastic. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and one of the chefs even came out to give the pups some pepperoni, which was a nice touch that definitely stood out. The space itself is huge with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place for groups to gather, relax, and enjoy a few drinks without feeling cramped. Overall, this is a fun and unique spot with great food, excellent drinks, and outstanding service. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

The main food available is from Pizza Cassette, which has delicious sandwiches and wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza pies. Drinks are available from a brewery, a trendy and unique wine spot, and a meadery! Truly something for everyone. It's dog friendly and great for groups to still feel intimate with standing areas, barrel table tops and picnic style tables. There's usually always something happening like trivia night or live music, but heads up, they don't stay open too late - won't be an issue for most, but in case you're looking for a spot at 8pm, double check the hours, especially for food.

There is always a line at this location and it really doesn't matter what time of day you come. But the line is definitely worth it. I love their ribs and their prices are decent for the amount of food you get. We always order the full rack of ribs with 2 sides because if you only do the full rack of ribs it's only $1 less. I enjoy their cole slaw and fries as my sides. The bbq sauce is also a hit. I just wish they had a location closer to the OC so must visit when you are nearby.
