Hermosa Rosa!
David D.

Had an amazing time at Norte Brewing! Great vibe and great beer! Will definitely go back. Food was good, service was on point.

A very bad Taco New York
David N.

It's great to see a growing brewpub scene in Tijuana, and this place is a trendsetter having been in business for 10 years despite its obscure location. But it's not for me. I had two of their house-made brews: the Bunny Cream Ale and the Wet Dream Wheat Beer. Both lacked a depth of flavor and complexity, were under-carbonated, and served a few degrees too warm. As for the food, maybe other items are good, but the Taco New York was one of the worst I've ever had. The slab of beef was low quality, chewy, under-seasoned, and a big part of it was inedibe fat. The tortilla was stale and chewy, the pico de gallo made with tasteless tomatoes and old cilantro, and the avocado a bit past its prime. It's served with a nice little cup of badly needed hot chile sauce, limes that barely had any juice in them, and, inexplicably, a salt shaker. I'm being kind with three stars, hoping that they improve.

Located on the 5th floor overlooking downtown Tijuana, this spot is great! FYI- It's a little tricky to find because you have to walk through the entrance of the parking garage. My husband and I shared wings and two beers each. Next time we will try the nachos! Cheers!

Great beer and an awesome view! Had the carajillo stout was great!- Hermano para 5 piso!

My boyfriend learned about this hidden gem on reddit. On a spur of the moment trip to Tijuana, we wandered around the city with no plan. He got service and found this spot. We circled around for a little, but learned from Yelp reviews that it's on the fifth floor of a parking garage. This made it feel like a speakeasy. The view is so worth it! You have to go to the elevators inside the garage and take it to the fifth floor. The elevator can be slow, so be patient. When we walked in we got an amazing view of the skyline and surrounding streets. The names of the beer are punny in a suggestive way. We enjoyed our beer and the atmosphere. The bartenders were very kind. Although we didn't have any food, it smelled and looked great.

Cucumber sour

I es pleasantly surprised by the views. I could see all of TJ. It's a cute hipster brewery. I did not try the food, but I do like sours. I got the cucumber sour. That was a refreshing drink. For the price and the view it was all worth it. Going in was a little tricky. You walk up what looks like a parking garage. Then you take an elevator to the 5th floor. There was 2 other parties when we arrived. We ordered at the counter and sat down. They take card.

An iconic brewery in Tijuana. Amazing brews paired with unbelievable views of the city. A must-try spot whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned visitor to the area. Yes it's located on the 5th floor of a parking structure so be mindful when navigating towards the brewery. Once you get off the elevator, you'll be greeted by a cozy yet open taproom with friendly bartenders ready to serve you ice cold liquid goodness. I usually opt for the very reasonably priced flights then set up at a table overlooking the city. All the beers have been crisp and fresh; whether it's an IPA or a Stout, they will have something to quench your thirst. Oh the views. They're panoramic and it's an amazing place to begin or end a visit to TJ. That said this isn't a spot where it's just about the drinks or just about the views: Norte nails BOTH. You will not regret stopping by; cheers!

Great place on top of a parking structure with a view of TJ. The beer is tasty and they offer some food options as well. The space is small and can get a bit warm. The AC seems a little light. Very close to the main drag and the parking structure is cheep enough to leave your car there while you walk around and explore more of TJ.

Choices choices:. Go for that black IPA 69
Karen R.

For starters, what a mission to find the place!! It is in a literal parking garage, find elevator and you'll come across the place. I guess different concept, but the hunt was a pain. The beer selection was decent. Didn't really find one either of us loved, the black ipa if I had to choose. They have sexy names, so the 69 if you like a brown mixed with ipa. The actual location was cute, you're inside AC and overlook the city.

Cougar beer and the view!
Manny D.

Nice little brewery located on the 5th floor of the parking structure. You need to take the elevator to the 5th floor, which is located inside the parking structure. Once inside you will find an amazing view of the TJ, USA border. The beer is very good and they have about 10 different beers on tap.

Beer samples and window views.
Betty N.

**BREWERY WITH AWESOME BEERS AND VIEWS** Since I married a German, my beer palette has expanded and more refined. Thankfully so. This beer bar made me so happy. PARKING ======== Park at the Foreign Club Parking structure, go to the Fifth level and you are golden. AMBIANCE ========= Once you walk in, you will be awed by the huge windows with city views. Nice and casual, but airy. BEERS ====== I love pilsners, but really enjoyed their oatmeal stout. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL ======== Fantastic place to do samplers. Such a friendly and accommodating staff. Our group was very happy here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

See all

Tasca and Shot Factory are the must visit spots if you're looking to have a good time with a good mixture of both locals and people visiting from the states. Sip on some mezcals while you're at it!

Hidden in a little indoor mall is one of the tiniest craft breweries I've seen -- just a window where they serve great craft beer, with a few tables to sit at. We tried a stout and an IPA. Both were very good-- the stout was low ABV but not watery and tasted great, and the IPA was around 7% and was quite hoppy and bitter, a true West Coast style IPA. You won't find tasters, but they serve 12, 16, and 20 ounce pours for between 30 - 45 pesos, depending on the size of the pour. They had an ad on the wall for beer brewing classes, too -- it would be a really cool thing to check out, especially if you're local. Estefany B. is right; the location is hard to find! Here's how to get there: go down the Pasaje Revolucion located at #942 Revolucion, and at the end of the hallway you'll see a little indoor mall. Azteca is on the basement level; there are signs once you get to the back of the Pasaje; Baja Brew Labs is there, as well. Viva la cerveza artesenal!
