    Protector Brewery Hide Site is super close to the airport, which made it a great stop before dropping off my in-laws. It was pretty quiet, maybe because they charge for parking, but I didn't mind since it made the place feel more relaxed. Inside, it looks a bit more like a café, simple and minimal, but the drinks were really yummy and refreshing. The pizza was delicious and made the perfect snack before the airport. We sat outside, and there was an event upstairs that got a little loud, but it didn't take away from the experience. I'd definitely come back again.

    Was a great spot to hang out, especially sitting outside on a beautiful day. The pizza was good, but I do wish the single slice was a bit bigger. For the price of one slice, you might as well just order a whole pizza instead. The pretzel board was tasty overall, but the sausage that came with it wasn't really my thing. I couldn't quite figure out the flavor, it just wasn't a taste I acquired.

    We decided to stop by while we were in the area, and we're glad we did. The location is fantastic--right near the water with a spacious outdoor seating area, complete with umbrellas for shade. It's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink. I tried a beer that was part of a veteran's collaboration, and my wife had a blueberry sour that she really enjoyed. The service was friendly and welcoming, which added to the laid-back atmosphere. While I only sampled one beer and thought it was decent, I'd definitely consider coming back next time we're in the area and looking to unwind with a drink.

    Awesome place and location, right by the water and close to eateries and shops. We stopped by with a group of friends as this place was their top recommendation. We ordered their blueberry sour and collaboration IPA. They were both very tasty, the blueberry was light and refreshing. They weather was so nice that day that we all enjoyed our beers out on their patio, under umbrellas. We didn't order any food here, but we plan to next time. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, we will be returning again to try more beers from them.

    Nice location and setting. They seatings both inside and outside so when the weather is great (like 90% of the time), use the opportunity to sit outside and people watch. They have a variety of beers, many, many IPA's, a porter from a guest brewery, wines, a Serpentine cider, an (alcoholic) kombucha from Whalebird that I enjoyed and a craft cocktail.

    Very clean and modern. Wide selection of beers. Location is right across the street from the water and the views are unparalleled for a brewery! Server was sweet too and put the game on for us. (Only 2 TVs, not much of a sports emphasis). Didn't see any bar games either but I think they host some social meet-n-greets and date nights for singles based on the flyers.

    Great beer, great views, limited food but the Caesar salad was yummy. Our server was kind and helpful would definitely come back!!

    This was our 4th spot in my annual beer walk fest! Hidden under the hotel there is Protector. Very nice views of the ocean nearby with very cute set up with their outdoor seating. We all got a beer to try and we enjoyed them all. Would recommend coming here.

    Anyone from a ST will always get my support and respect! I really enjoyed this light and refreshing beer. I highly recommend it if you're in the USS Midway area. The prices are not too outrageous. I heard nothing but great things about the pizza even though I didn't try it yet, but make no mistake. I will. The area and restaurant are very chill. Just not a lot of parking and you'll have to pay for it. The staff is super friendly and helpful with all of the beers and food. Facility was very clean throughout including the restrooms. I highly recommend this place!

    Huge shoutout to the General Manager, Amanda and the whole Protector Brewery team for a wonderful experience. Amanda was very accommodating and reserved the whole patio for our group. We had a wedding in San Diego and hosted our guests at Protector Brewery. The space was plenty for 30 people. Weather and location was beautiful, very clean and new space and best of all, everyone loved the food and drinks. We all kept going back for more. The different size seltzers/beer along with non-alcoholic drink options helped everyone try something. This place was kid friendly so parents got to enjoy some time while the kids were enjoying the patio space. The modern interior and the nice fireplace was a nice touch and vibe. I wish I got the persons name that helped us that day but he was truly awesome and chill. Allowed our group to really have a great time and didn't rush us. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend Protector Brewery for the food, drinks and wonderful service. Thank you Amanda and team!

    They were out of west coast ipa, which is my favorite type of beer... but the beer recommendation was great and the food was delicious! They have very kind and attentive staff. And the location is beautiful of course!

    This place has great seating outside with propane fire pit tables. I am not a beer drinker so I ordered a kale salad, and a psychedelic pizza. The salad had great flavor and I loved the dressing! It was very simple and delicious. The pizza was a thin cracker style crust. It was light, airy and delicious. It was a great balance of flavor with minimal sauce. The waitress is great, very friendly and easy going. The chef was fast and I had my order in no time. This is a great place so check it out!

    I had to leave a review right away bc I was so impressed by this place. First of all, they are…read moreextremely dog friendly. The inside is gorgeous and there's a spot especially for dogs outside. Their outdoor seating with patio is beautiful! This place is absolutely divine! At this point, I dont really care about how the food tastes. Lol! Let's start off with the one problem i had with this place. The parking!!! It took me 20m to find parking and im not about to park my car on the street. I have precious dogs! Lol kidding. I just couldn't find any parking on the street or in the block! I suppose i came during lunch which is probably really busy. When I left, there were quite a few opened parking spots. This place is connected to an apartment complex surrounding retail stores. The leasing building is right next to Gravity Heights. I used to rent a 4k+ a month apartment in a retail area and let me tell you, its a hassle to find parking and not take a retail parking spot without having your complex email you everyday about your car potentially being towed lol! I understand this pain. Now that we are past that, let's get to why this place deserves 5 stars. The service is excellent! My server came around at the perfect times and they seem to really care if I enjoyed my meal! The stellar atmosphere with attentive service is enough for me! I got a gravity burger protein style which I dont think did the burger justice. I was going to eat with my husband later at a Vietnamese restaurant and I can only choose one carb for the day. My diabetic life is tough! Lol. I chose the Cesar salad to go with my burger. My burger was delicious bc of the caramelized onions. I didn't really taste a sauce in the burger but the excellent bacon with the much needed caramelized onions made the burger fantastic! The IPA hazy beer i had with my meal was also light and mellow. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and meal. My babies also enjoyed their burger! The weather was perfect today and it was a nice time and to think I was not going to eat here bc the parking definitely was a huge deterrent. Next time ill bring human company!

    Decided to stop by here to try out their happy hour and was not disappointed. Parking was fairly…read moreeasy and got a spot right outside the restaurant. We got sat right away in the happy hour area. As we were walking in I noticed the decor looked really nice and the ambience of the restaurant felt clean and modern. We ordered some happy hour cocktails to start and they were really strong (but tasty) in my opinion. Maybe I'm just lightweight though. We also ordered some oysters, the shrimp aguachile, and the smashburger to share which were all tasty. Service was good, our waitress was friendly and checked up on us. Overall a successful happy hour visit and would visit again as they seem to have a rotating menu.
