Definitely adding this place to my rotation list

Today I'm flying solo and needed a good beer and a solid meal. Surprisingly, I was no fond of their English Barleywine, and I LOVE barleywines. However, their Red Rye Ale was very proper and treated me quite well. The Chile Verde Quesadilla was delicious with bold flavor from the Chile Verde and a nice kick from the green salsa. Also included a side, which the arugula salad round things out nicely. Not at all sad that I wandered in. First time. Won't be my last!! Cheers, friends!!!

The jury juice has this awesome tropical flavor that comes from hops from New Zealand that has an almost passion fruit flavor. Hearing that no fruit was added was a real surprise. Tremendous flavor crafted from mastery not borrowed from chemicals. The brewmaster Brandon Winneker has pedigree from Stone and Deschutes. The owners Chris and Ashley are super present and passionate about their project. This spot is definitely worth a visit.

Had an AMAZING experience at the Left Coast Brewing Company. It's a small but well-run…read moreestablishment with a ton of great options on tap. It attracts a really chill crowd: there was literally a patron with her newborn. Very family friendly, warm, and positive. I went here for trivia night, and we had a total blast. There's no food at the brewery since it's a smaller space and it's really not in a location built for heavy duty kitchen work, but they were totally cool with us bringing food in and even gave us recommendations for local spots! I'm not even a beer drinker but I enjoyed trying their different offerings and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked them! They even have a little mini arcade setup and cards against humanity. They put a ton of thought into curating a space for community and good old fashioned fun. Restrooms were SO clean and there were a men's and women's room which feels so rare at bars! The women's room even had multiple stalls, which was so convenient. Pitchers of water were free (and quite frankly, the water was delicious), and there was fun, clean music playing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun place for all ages to enjoy. It's hard to find a place that's welcoming to non-drinkers and younger people, while also still offering plenty of alcoholic options. So many establishments strive to create the third place, and Left Coast Brewing Company hits it on the head.

I recently attended a comedy show at this brewery with my dad and it was by far the worst comedy…read moreshow I've ever seen. The "comedians" spent the majority of the time talking about dick and pussy in the most crude, low-effort way possible. It wasn't clever or edgy--it was just lazy and disgusting. I left early and have zero interest in ever returning. What makes it worse is that the brewery allowed this kind of show in their space. The staff should be embarrassed that they booked (or allowed) something this low-quality and inappropriate. Service wasn't great either. When we went to order drinks, the bartender pointed us to the "order here" spot at the bar. We stood right at the front of that line for a solid five minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Overall, a disappointing experience from start to finish. Won't be back. I almost wish I could go back to the brewery and get my money back, but I know that's not possible.

The garden salad with chicken is probably one of the worst salads I've ever had in my life. No flavor, the cold chicken is gross and has no flavor. The salad itself has no flavor. Came with one small dressing that left the other 2/3 of the salad dry. Meh. For $25 I should have ordered a pizza. Or gone somewhere else for a decent salad. Take that as you will, only get the pizza from here. Hah.

Looking for the brewery even at lunchtime was challenging behind warehouses. Finally saw it by asking around. The Cubano Sandwich was decent. Just a tad bland of pork, ham, cheese (?), pickles. They forgot to add the mustard though. And a side of Potato Salad which was decent as well. The Rube beer was pretty good. The restaurant is informal and rustic. A nice outdoor seating is beside the brewery along the waterway.

Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!

Which is why it's getting 3 stars from me. The food is fine. It didn't make me sick, and I could eat it. That's about all I can say. The service did what it was supposed to but neither warm nor necessarily speedy. If I were a local, this would be a safe place to bring friends. I don't think it's worth the time to go out of my way to come here.
