    In every age, some names endure. Megan is one of them, the Eternal Champion of Pure Project Vista. While others pour beer, Megan turns every visit into a story, welcoming guests with warmth and uncanny precision in finding the perfect pint. The beer is exceptional--bright IPAs, crisp lagers, rich stouts--each crafted with care, and somehow even better in Megan's hands. If there is a guardian of this hall, it is Megan, ensuring every guest leaves happier than they arrived. Return tomorrow or years from now, and Megan will still be there, raising a glass. Pure Project Vista brews extraordinary beer. Megan makes it legendary.

    Vast... The space is huge including a cool patio setup just outside the rollaway warehouse doors. It's a real working brewery but you can tell they try hard to make it look great. Kind, welcoming and knowledgable service, plus some really great beers. I heard there are food trucks when busy otherwise no kitchen.

    Pure Project is one of my favorite breweries in all of San Diego county. Whenever I'm in the mood for a brewski, this is my #1 choice. Their dark beers are always on point. I've never had a stout I didn't like. One of my personal favorites is milagro on nitro. There's plenty of seating- inside and out. They're prepared for cold winter nights with heaters. Want to sit inside? Plenty of seats by the bar, regular tables for 4, even a few couches....you'll find what works for you. Now, this brewery has set the standard for dogs friendly! Yes, breweries are dog friendly, but just because they let dogs in doesn't really mean they're dog friendly. I've started calling them dog tolerant. Pure is 100% dog friendly. Need a dog water bowl? No problem. Treats? Sure- there's a big dog treat container at the counter (and I think another location too). 5 stars for Pure! See you in 2026!

    Decided to check out this brewery after tasting one of their beers at a local restaurant, and it was definitely worth the trip. It's a quaint place located in a business park. Parking was easy which was great, especially on a Saturday afternoon. Outside the brewery by the entrance, there's outdoor seating (benches & umbrellas) and a food vendor. We walked in and sat at the bar. There were lots of seating areas in the brewery as well. One of the bartenders, Jake, was absolutely awesome! He gave us some tips on what to order and he was patient and very helpful in answering our questions. It was a great menu with many types of drinks to choose from. We ordered a flight which was a great deal, (5) 5oz beers for the price of 4. We picked the Cherry Limeade (hard seltzer), the Tropical Mist, Brass Bell, Mango Bramble (hard smoothie), and the Uncovered Roots. After our flight, we ended with our "dessert", the Spiced Apple Slush and the Corylus. There wasn't a drink we didn't like. Each drink we tried was either crisp, refreshing or smooth, all with great flavor. Not normally a beer drinker myself, these beers and hard seltzers/ciders were off the hook! So much so, we bought some to take home and for gifting. Overall, it was a great experience. The employees were friendly, personable and helpful. Even some of the patrons that we met there were equally friendly. This place has a great vibe and we'll definitely be back!

    Always great to visit Pure Project and the Vista location provides the added convenience of great food trucks. This is a good spot to meet with friends, enjoy some good vibes, good service, and great tasting brews. This has been my go to place for some good Stout options. We're sure to be back soon.

    I really enjoy coming to this hidden location in an industrial section of Vista. On my last visit, I met about 10 friends after attending an outdoor concert. It was perfect. They have long picnic tables set up so we all could fit and sit together. They have quite a few different seating areas both inside and outside to accommodate whatever you may need. When we arrived, the sun was setting, and the sky was really pretty all around us . We tried seltzers, we tried stouts, hazy's and a few other things. They are very generous, informed and patient as they let you taste the various options before making your choice. I like to do their tasting board when I come, because I always discover something new. Everyone who I have brought here is always pleasantly surprised by the location and happy with the selection.

    I love all places that are pet friendly!

    This was the last location we got to visit & my new favorite location!! Customer service was amazing! Place is so clean and I love all the plants! Lots of merch and this day didn't have a food truck and closed early for a private event but we will be back! Love, love & LOVE!

    Excellent beer and great service. Beautiful space, fun to hang out on a summer afternoon.

    Hands down, the most balanced hazy's in town. So many other options to choose from, but I'm a fan of hazy's. If there is one brewery you need to visit in San Diego, make sure it's Pure Project.

    Love coming here. The beers are simply just delicious and well made. It's our favorite brewery. They have something for everybody. I love that they have a hard seltzer option, their smoothie series and their murkshakes. Big brewery with plenty of seating and outdoor seating with a food truck!

    Beer flight. Sooo many options available!
    Krystal R.

    I'm not a beer drinker, but they have some fruity tasting beers! This place has A LOT of seating area! Both inside and outside. I'm not sure if the Woodfield pizza is there all the time, but there was woodfire pizza available for purchase. About 20$/pizza.. They also had snacks inside for purchase. Pet friendly. And the service was fast and friendly.

    A lil' stout and some haze
    Heihachiro K.

    Always had a passion for Pure. We've been fans since day one back on Miramar Rd. Miss the old days of knocking back some murk inside that little tap room. We are elated Pure has expanded to Carlsbad and Vista these past few years. Always good beer and always a good time. Cheers!

    Sure, the beer is the thing and they're bosses of it…read more But their Wine Wednesday is amazing! I will not post the price here, so as to give them the courtesy of our changing times, but I will tell you that you cannot find a glass of Austin Hope Cab for anything near their WW price! It has to be at a loss, thank you! We love it with the Spicy Thai Peanut salad, with added Salmon (which they get right every time). ...and also don't forget the beer.

    First time here on a Saturday night and it was great!…read more We tried a beer and a seltzer - both crisp, cold, and refreshing. Blueberry and the raspberry lemonade - perfect on a hot day. Great flavor and so smooth. Food was really great - our table ordered the Buffalo chicken dip (huge portion of chips and the dip was delicious) for an appetizer- I think it arrived in three minutes. Carne asada tacos, fries and farmhouse salad with chicken and the beef sandwich were all super tasty. We had to try a dessert and it was hard to pick just one as they all sounded so good - landed on the apple crisp and it was perfect and the best warm caramel sauce. Food is fresh, good quality and everything was great. Service for drinks was the fastest I've ever encountered in any restaurant- seriously! For as large as this place is, they have it running like a machine with food runners and wait staff choreographed perfectly. It's also a neat atmosphere, lots of tables, full bar and good vibe. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience. Highly recommend.

    Celebrated our mother's day here, because they were just doing regular brunch and not charging…read moreextreme prices. I made a reservation about 2 weeks out with no issue. Street parking only, but wasn't too hard to find a spot as we came early. The restaurant is very nice and looks new. There is two dining rooms one towards the front near the bar area, and another in the back. We sent in the front for brunch. The menu had a good variety of items, and we decided to go with the chilaquiles and the shrimp and grits. I love Shrimp and grits, and it's not too common on menu's so i has to try it. The dish had pork belly instead of bacon, and shrimp. THe texture of the grits was very good, not too runny or too thick. The shrimp seemed good quality and not chewy or rubbery. I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. The chilaquiles were an interesting take, not at all what you're normal chilaquiles would be. They come with lamb but we substituted with chicken. They were covered with a type of hollandaise sauce and we both thought they were good. I also ordered a breakfast shot that had bourbon in it, and a piece of pork belly on the top, and a shot of orange juice. It was pretty strong and very good. I would definitely order this one again, and the piece of pork belly they added on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back to check out their happy hour, it looks like they have an awesome menu, and they even do it on the weekends.

    So when this place first opened, we were in love. Whenever we went there, it was busy, but service…read morewas still attentive and the food is delicious. It's been a little bit of time since we've been there, but this has always been a place on top of our recommendation if somebody is coming to town it's where we would take them to show them a good meal and when other people ask for recommendations for a nice place for dinner, it's what we would tell them fast-forward now I think a couple years later from the initial opening and we don't come quite often just bc we have some new favorites, but it was Sunday night Labor Day weekend and we didn't know where to go so we ended up here. They admitted when we first walked in that they were shortstaffed totally fine and I'm happy to sit in the bar area. Truthfully, we don't come as often because they got rid of my husband's favorite oxtail Birria burger, but we do bring friends here for brunch. Anyway, we were here for dinner on Sunday night. Service was short staffed like they had mentioned and we sat at a high top in the bar area. We started off by ordering a hard seltzer and a carajillo. My seltzer came out rather slow, but it took probably another 10 minutes for my husband to get his drink and when they brought it out, they brought two like they were confused on how many we ordered so we kept the one and then they ended up giving ours I think to what I'm assuming with some friends the owner at the bar not a problem but one thing that I did notice is that there were a lot of "friends at the bar" it definitely gave that kind of vibe they were doing shots with a patron, gave our incorrect food order to another, were testing a new cocktail recipe I think with some. They were sharing drinks with some patrons. It's probably a nice gig if you're friends with these people and I'm not hating on it. Then we ordered our food. I ordered some Mezcal lime wings, and my husband ordered the grits when my food came out the waitress brought a burger and a salad and we had to tell her that wasn't our food. Then we waited another extra five minutes for my husband's food to come out and it did. I will say the quality of the food hasn't changed. The wings were delicious. They were crispy and they were well seasoned, and my husband really enjoyed his food, but it was the lack of service throughout the meal that really hit home for me that we probably won't be coming back as often and maybe just for brunch. It was such a weird experience to feel like because we were paying we were getting worse service than those who were getting free drinks and such but I can't complain because the food was good if the service was bad and the food was bad I'd be leaving a lower review but I can't give any higher than three stars if there was a 3 1/2 I'd leave it, but I almost never write negative reviews for places, but this really struck a nerve for me. I think because we came a little bit before 7 PM. It's not as if they were closing in 20 minutes. I could understand poor service for that, but I didn't really see why the service was so poor looking around. It's just a bit confusing, I guess.
