Drinks and food were great! Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about the drinks too. I'm no hard seltzer fan, but I tried a couple and they're something to write home to mom about! We had the bbq chicken pizza, a couple seltzers, and beer: you definitely get what you pay for too! Got a 6 pack to go and plenty of pizza left overs. Special shoutout to Anthony who was super busy at the time and took the time to help me pick a beer and Katie for convincing me to try the best hard seltzer I've ever had! read more

The former home of the best BBQ in San Diego(Alpine Brewery when the beer was still made by the family), is now home to Mike Hess. The burgers and sandwiches are decent. The Pizza is ok. The location is pretty nice, great patio area. The beer is ok to. Never had anything that I disliked from here. Always great service, very friendly staff. But for the price, I expect a little more, and while they've never really disappointed, they've never wow'd either. read more

Super excited that Mike Hess took over. It's beautiful inside and I love the space. Just hoping the menu changes from what it was before. There's a reason us locals stopped going before. The pizza and salad options weren't great and when the food came it was just ok. Hoping they can bring better food so we have a nice place to hang out at again on the weekends. read more

Decent brewery but NOT if you are expecting great or even good or even decent food for that matter.  We went there after a hike with 2 other families so we were 6 adults and 7 kids. Everyone ready to eat and drink especially the pretzel and beer.  For a Mike Hess Brewery this place was disappointing to say the least.  Their kid's menu was better than their adult menu.  We ordered 6 "Wagyu" burgers [you must be seriously kidding me with the "Wagyu" beef] and ALL OF THEM were WELL DONE and DRY.  They cannot cook a "wagyu" burger to temp (e.g., medium or medium rare). I find it very hard to believe that any place would sell Wagyu beef and NOT KNOW HOW to cook it.  We all asked for medium temperature and the kitchen could NOT fulfill this request.  I am not sure the kitchen was anywhere near competent in cooking Wagyu beef burger because the cook all their burgers to one temperature (well done) and I would add DRY to that.  How do I know that? Because I asked after my "medium" mushroom swiss burger and it came dry and over done!  I took 1 bite out of my 3 mushroom [yes, 3 mushrooms] swiss burger and I could not eat it.  Why would anyone want to pay for a "Wagyu" beef burger cooked over well done and dry for $16?  I wouldn't pay S10 for their burger. It was that bad. I can cook a frozen Costco burger better than this place can a Wagyu burger...which leads me to believe this is NOT Wagyu. If it is shame on them and get better cooks. This is NOT the place for food!  We also wanted and went there for the pretzel bites but guess what...they DID NOT have it. Go figure.  This is part of the reason we came here only to find out they didn't have it.  I have not been a place [brewery or restaurant] that did not have pretzel available. If you are ordering from the kids menu [7" pizza, chicken tenders and fries, mac and cheese] I think you'll be fine but not from the burger menu that's for sure.  I ended up eating my kids food because they did not like it so I ate it since I was starving.   I asked for a manager or however was in charge to inform them how bad the burgers and food were but I was informed that person is out and not in today...and nobody came to my table to inquire about the issue.  Even my kids said the service was bad.    It was not until cashing out did they seemed concerned about the bad food...but by then it was conveniently ok.  Go figure. Wow. I expected so much more from Mike Hess. read more

MH took over the site of Alpine Outpost. Will miss the Alpine beers but cant knock the new place for that. We've always had the wings and house salad. Wings haven't changed but they changed the lettuce variety in the salad to my wife's chagrin. Still a nice place to have a beer or two and some tasty grub. Service was prompt and the people are great. The same from before, I believe. read more

Service was slow. Food was horrible. Beer was ok. But overall it was definitely not worth stopping in at. Our pizza was burnt. The kids pizza was better. And the kids meals were ok. Always try to support local areas in alpine and this place would never have my business. Definitely miss alpine brewery. read more

Super chill, dog friendly, and laid back. If they had at least one organic vegan food option then I'd give a 5. Yarnbi digs the cool floor.

The food was mediocre and I barely touched my wings which says a lot. The service was good though the employees were very friendly. They have live music and I enjoyed the environment for catching up with friends. But the food is lacking. read more

Yea, they have some good beers but let's talk about the food. The food absolutely blows. Ordered chicken tenders for the kids and the wife and I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The "fried chicken" was the same 2 chicken tenders my kids got but stacked on a cold bun with a little slaw. This was my second time trying the food and definitely my last. What a joke. read more

Love the location , great patio and atmosphere. Great beer but lets talk about the food.. need a new chef and menu. First of all who doesn't have black olives for their pizza( I have requested this since it was the Alpine Pub) and Pistachios in meatballs Unfortunately it was in the fine print and my husband is allergic to nuts this did not turn out well... read more

FANTASTIC beer lineup! Nice variety even including non alcoholic and root beer. All food is good: burgers and pizza are the mainstays. A few other items on menus. Wishful thinking: Perhaps someday I will be able to order a rack of ribs with my beer! read more

This place just opened and already sucks. Be warned: kitchen closes an hour before bar does!!! No warning, no nothing!! Even though we came in before the closing of the kitchen and waitress never said anything about closing early. Lost 6 customers tonight and I'll definitely be passing on to my friends. read more

Stopped in quick. Melody was on her "A" game, the perfect pour of Vietnamese stout. ok truth, 2 pours couldn't resist. The appetizer from the kitchen was just great, just enough and on my way read more

The new smoked pineapple pizza and bacon wrapped meatloaf were amazing along with the ALWAYS awesome service.

Horrible customer service. The burger was burnt that's all you could taste. The kids chicken stripes weren't even edible they were so hard. Even the ranch and ketchup was bad. The pizza was okay. I won't be going back. read more

Decent pizzas and burgers. But NO jalapeños!!! Not even any type of hot sauce for your burger or Pizza. Really !!!!

Great beer and food. For just opening they are killing it. Can't wait to see what they do in the future

Great food, beer, and staff. You can't beat the patio, great for kids and families.

This brewery is a gem. Good beers and a spacious shaded beer garden. Lots of lawn space for kids and cornhole. Delicious pizza- highly recommend the smoked mushroom pizza. This will be our go-to in Alpine from now on! read more

Do not visit if you care about hygiene. We have been there several times and were so-so with the food and service. We will not go back after today. As we were having our pizza and beer and enjoying a game on TV, we watched as one of the staff entered the men's restroom with spray bottle and cleaning cloth, then come out and proceed to the kitchen food pickup area and pick up trays/plates of food and deliver to diners. read more

Great place to enjoy a beer and a lovely spring evening. We had the garlic Parmesan wings, house salad, and the Pub burger. Everything was quite delicious. It's a great location, just need to be patient, the food doesn't fly out of the kitchen, but it's well worth the wait. read more
