The staff was nice, but experience was ok at best. I think they had good intentions but they were understaffed. Food was mediocre but pricey. I ordered the pub burger that came with chips, (not French fries, a bag of kettle chips), and coleslaw. It was a creamy slaw sauce that was drenching the oversized pieces of cabbage. They were nice to my dog , gave him treats, had bed pads for dogs (very nice option). However I noticed they didn't serve beer from tap, instead they were dispensing into a pitcher, then pouring into glass - not sure what that was about. The place next door was hopping and I ended up going there for fries and another beer.
Came by for some drinks on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered their boozy root beer. This is made with their own nonalcoholic root beer and grape based liquor. Drink tasted great and I'll definitely order it again. Weird thing is their pricing. $14.53+tax for their boozy root beer. $9.29+tax for a pint of their IPA. Strange before tax pricing. Staff was friendly and welcoming. This is a small place with most of the seating outside.
We walked over to Pismo Brewing looking for a spot to look for the USA vs Belgium game. Load and behold we found a true hidden gem, Celeste was so welcoming and accommodating when we asked to watch the game. She gave a great recommendation on the pulled pork pretzels and we loved the Orange pedal pale ale! So smooth and the perfect amount of sweetness. This place is dog friendly and we received the best customer service ever. We will definitely be back to visit!
We came here after a morning of ATVing and all of the staff were so great! They loved our pup and even brought him a treat! I had a flight so I could try a variety of options. We also shared the pepperoni and cheese stuffed soft pretzel and the fried pickles. The pretzel is one of their top sellers for a reason! It was nice and cheesy and came with a marinara for a dip. The pickles were spears, but sliced extra thin - I think this is my new way of enjoying fried pickles because it stays crispy!
Wonderful experience today at Pismo Brewing Company. Super unpretentious, casual / pub atmosphere. Purple hair waitress (I think her name was Celest or something like that...I can't believe I forgot already) took such great care of us. She's the best! If you want some excellent brews and hard sodas with some decent bites and service that will dote on you and genuinely care for you, this place won't disappoint. Food is pretty good, but the service and atmosphere is top notch!
We had just arrived to Pismo after a good 3.5 hour drive. We went in thinking the place would be busy, but it was pretty dead. The staff were nice, but when taking order the waitress was literally walking away before we were even done ordering. My husband had the IPA but said it tasted watered down and not the very best beer he had. I had a hard cider which was poured straight out of a can. The food was okay. The pretzel sticks were really good though. But if you're looking for a brewery type ambience with good drinks, this ain't it.
Where is the 6th and 7th star? Gabe is a great beertender. Knew his products well. Was able to point me to the beer that aligned with my preferred style. Great conversations while I enjoyed my beer (and then a 2nd!). Walked out with a bag of beers to bring home and enjoy. For a beach area, I thought the pricing was fair, more of a locals hangout than a tourist trap.
Stopped by this brewery on walk. Cute cozy friendly place. Cathy was amazing and knows her stuff. We had the house special and it didn't disappoint. GF likes IPA so she had the special that included peanut butter but you could not taste it at all. She totally enjoyed it. I had the Hard Root beer which had a mixture of cinnamon, whisky, and root beer. It's was a bit on sweet side but good. It's a sneak up on you drink. Thanks Cathy for the liquid lunch. Will be back for that Orange beer special.
Really loved this place. From the moment we walked in the staff was helpful and friendly. They are dog friendly. Thanks to the staff for being so nice to our dog and even giving her a blanket to lay on. Parking might be a little tricky since it's street parking and it gets crowded. We had some fish and chips to snack on and they were delicious. We will definitely be returning if we are in town.
Great place to go. Pet friendly and welcoming. Was greated and acknowledged right away. Will go again ! Thank you Terry and co worker for your hospitality
Who puts whole cut cherry tomatoes and red onions?!? If you love watered down beer, or you love water, or you love beer that taste like water then you would love the beer here. The only good beer was the whiskey barrel beer cause it tasted like whiskey. Lastly the nachos were bad, just plain cold nacho cheese. It was very sad. I wouldn't come here again even if I was paid. This place gets a -6
My girlfriend and I stopped by Pismo Brewery, and Valerie was our awesome bartender! She was incredibly friendly, and filled us in on all the best spots in the area. When we asked about ciders, she suggested trying their delicious selection - the lemon ginger and rosé were perfect choices based on our preferences. We definitely plan on returning to visit her again. Valerie was the best!
So, I'm typically pretty generous with my ratings/reviews so I think 3 stars is about right here. The place is very small with just a couple of tables indoors and maybe 5-6 seats at the bar. The outdoor seating is better and it's Pismo so the weather is great for outdoor dining. It was clean with some music pumping from the bar area. The menu is about what you'd expect from a brewery but it's almost entirely frozen food as far as I can tell. There were 7 of us and we all ordered something different. My son ordered a "flatbread pizza" which looked and tasted like something out of a microwave or a bad school lunch. My daughter ordered chicken strips and they were so tough she only at 1. She shared a couple with my son since his pizza was gross and he o it at the breading off one of them because the chicken was so tough to chew. I ordered a burger and I swear it was a generic frozen patty from the freezer aisle at Walmart. Tasteless, bland, and just mediocre. The best thing ordered was my wife's nacho plate. The pulled pork was a bit salty but the nacho cheese tamed that a bit and the chips were fresh and crispy even with the toppings. Would order these again for sure. Service was good but we were the only table seated the entire time we were there while other businesses around us were heavy with traffic. This should have been a sign when we walked up but the overall ratings from other guests made it sound like a great spot. Most breweries have at least average food to pair with their beer offerings but Pismo Brewery was below my expectations.

Visiting for a weekend and brand new to the area, we found Pismo Brewing and we are so happy we walked in to this little gem!! We were greeted immediately with a warmth and familiarity we didn't expect as newcomers. Terry and the team took such good care of us offering different options and we ended up ordering the red eye and the boozy root beer! Delicious is an understatement and we had fun convos with them while we sipped on their spacious dog friendly patio! They even brought our dog a fresh bowl of water and some treats & gave him pets! After our libations, we got some fabulous recommendations for local hot spots and couldn't be more appreciative. The best afternoon spent at Pismo Brewing for both humans and canines! read more
If you are a fan of breweries and are in pismo, this place is a MUST for a visit. We came by in august on a Thursday, so there was just one other guy buying a drink. But honestly I do love a place when it isn't super crowded. There is both inside and outside seating. It was nice out, so we chose a table out on the patio. I went with their taster tray, which is their version of a flight. I got six tasters of their ales and my fave was their 12% ale that was their special and a boysenberry. We ordered: fish tacos, waffle fries, and fried pickles. Honestly, I've had better fried pickles but my husband LOVED the fish tacos! Their ales were so good, and honestly the taster tray would be the way to go so you know what you like! I would definitely be back . read more

It was a nice little spot. It's not as big as you would think a brewery would be. Food was good. It suffices my cravings when I was hungry. I had the red ale and it was okay but when I had a quarter of it left there was something that made it in my mouth from the drink that i did not see cause the color of the beer. I lost any desire to drink it. Idk what it was but right after I just left. That was the down side for me: read more

Stopped by here while on our trip up the Central Coast. We were so glad we did. The owner was very kind. But, the bartender that helped us out was the sweetest & very attentive. Had an Indian Wells hard soda that had 10% alc. & tasted like juice! It was sooo good & really snuck up on you. The root beer here is delicious! We even bought a 6 pack to take home. The pretzels, which we forgot to take pics of b/c they got inhaled so quickly, were awesome. Stop by if you get a chance. It's just a few steps down from the pier. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We decided to try this place out. 1 it was empty and 2. It was a brewery. As we walked in we were handed a menu and a king list of beers that were out. (It's a brewery and you mainly have canned beers ) We ordered food and sat down. I really wanted a soda so I went to nearest restaurant and grabbed an ice soda (they don't offer fountain drinks) As I returned and sat with my family this lady with colored hair told me I couldn't have it, I explained it was only soda and I could get a receipt from where I got it from. She was rude about it so we asked for our stuff to go ( I honestly lost my appetite and wanted a refund but did not want to hassle with ore confrontation) We grabbed our stuff she packed in grocery store bags and we ate outside on a bench. (Mind you I had a 1 year old and 2mo old) I am beyond disappointed in this restaurant and the fact it was empty I now see why, sadly your customer service drives people away. Oh and as we were leaving she made another comment my son had a chocolate milk and she said "I didn't see that or else I would have said something sooner" This place is ridiculous, never returning! read more
