The food is always delicious as well as being create and unique! Our server, Emily, was outstanding. Her timing, recommendations and over all attitude were great!!! She even suggested a doggie burger that totally thrilled my pup. The patio is extremely dog friendly with plenty of water bowls and the view is lovely. read more

We had a reservation, but sadly could not be seated right away. Sat at bar and then moved to a table. Cool vibe. The service was slow to start, but got better. The food was a disappointment. We ordered grilled chicken sandwich 4/5, back yard burger 3/5, truffle fries 4.5/5, sweet potato fries 4.5/5, and fried chicken sandwich 3/5. The beer I had Dubbel Vision Belgian Strong Ale is very good 5/5. read more

Didn't have a reservation so they sat us on the outside patio, which was honestly the best seat in the house. It is called viewpoint after all and the patio has the best view in the restaurant. The beer menu has a decent amount of unique offerings. I did not go for something unique (I got a hazy IPA), but my wife got a fun beer that had notes of strawberry jam. Had a great time enjoying our beers on the patio! read more

Viewpoint Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Del Mar, California

For you tourists new to San Diego, Del Mar is one of the wealthiest, yuppiest, bourgeois, golf swinging, and trust fund kid filled cities of San Diego county. Hence, Viewpoint is an elevated brewery experience with gorgeous half patio and outdoor seating overlooking the lovely San Dieguito Lagoon. You can even bring your yuppy, elitist, bourgeois, golfing snobby friends "oh, I don't drink beer", because Viewpoint also has decent wine list, starting at $13/glass. Staff are very friendly as well. $18 Mushroom Flatbread...this came out, really flat and thing and seemed rather skimpy on the cheese, sauce, and toppings. Very creative and tasty, but very small, some pieces barely had any thing on them. $16 Adobada Fries...delicious! Adobada was meaty, tender, and tasty...just wish the portion was larger. $28 Chicken Pot Pie...this is perhaps the most expensive chicken pot pie in all of San Diego county...however, this is also the BEST chicken pot pie in the county! The crust is thick, warm, soft, and buttery...the filling is loaded with tender chicken in that lovely gravy, so good! I just with it came with a small side of veggies or fries. $10? $12? $14 Banana Caramel Cream Pastry Pie with ice cream...SO GOOOOOOOD!!!! One of the best and most creative desserts I've had in a long time! The pie crust again was delightfully soft, flaky, buttery, and thick, the banana cream was rich, flavorful, and sweet. read more

Really great brewery with delicious food options too! I love the vast selection of beer that they offer! We came for a business dinner and our server, Djordje, was so nice, attentive, and friendly! My mushroom burger was so tasty. Save room for dessert too because there are super yummy items. The banana hand pie is a MUST! read more

My friend and I came here without a reservation on a Sunday at 5. Our mistake, we definitely should have made a reservation as it was extremely crowded! Others were given a 30-40 minute wait time but luckily they squeezed us in at a small counter which we were very grateful for! I was worried that because of the crowd the food might take a while, since we had a concert after, but the food arrived not 10 minutes after we ordered. We got the caesar salad, fries, and fish tacos. All were delicious! The caesar had a great dressing and I liked the addition of kale, and the fish tacos were humongous and very scrumptious, with the right amount of salsa/sauce as well as fish! We loved the ambience, the views out were incredible, the brewery itself was impressive, and it was very family friendly, we saw many kids running around and playing in the spacious back area. Our waitress was great and all the service was good, everyone was very friendly and helpful. There's valet parking. I think it was around $5 which was worth it to us for the convenience of not worrying about finding our own parking in the area. The valet workers were also very friendly and helpful. Hoping to come back soon! read more

Thanks to everyone on Yelp for recommending Viewpoint Brewing! We were in Del Mar for a conference and wanted to have a yummy dinner and check out some local beer - which led us straight to Viewpoint. We took an Uber from our hotel both ways, which was super easy for drop off and pick up. Viewpoint was busy, but with just two of us, we got a spot in a few minutes at a shared table. We had great service, delicious food, great recommendations from our server and we loved the atmosphere. We tried several different beers and our server suggested some too, thank goodness for Uber! We loved the Mexican Tornado, the Pit Stop Pils and the Ying Yang Amber. The food was incredible and we shared it all...which was good, because it was fun to share a few different things! We loved the meatballs and the bread as our appetizer, so yummy! The chicken pot pie was delicious and full of flavor - definitely my favorite, and the Flat Iron Steak was yummy, too! For dessert, we had the Banana Pie, as we were celebrating my husband's birthday! We LOVED Viewpoint - definitely would go back on our next visit! read more

Pay for parking in gravel lot! Heads up, if you don't want to pay for valet, and you decide to park in the adjacent gravel lot (trailhead lot) make sure and pay. The signs are very small, very high and hard to see at night. It seems almost intentional, as the city of Del Mar is citing people like crazy. $54! Ask me how I know. . Besides that, the beer, food and service is great. We will be back. read more

Came here to meet up with my cousin and her family and it was really good. There is space for kids to run around and have fun which I appreciated. Their draft selection is really good, and their food is even better. I got the shrimp tacos and ate half of my kid's pancake order. The ambiance is super chill and relaxed, I could have been there all day without an issue. The staff is very nice and attentive. I will absolutely return. read more

This place is so good! The views are amazing, it's right next to the water, and there's even a little walkway around it to walk and view the water. Dogs are allowed too and it's such a nice relaxing pretty place! Our friend hosted her kids bday party here and they had the outside part with heated lamps along with the pretty views. She had about 40 guests and a balloon person attend and everything was run smoothly. We had 3 servers who did everything great!! And most importantly we're super patient! The food is so good! I wish I tried some brunch stuff! But we got all the lunch stuff. We got the burger, the fish tacos, the new item of the steak sandwich, the pear flatbread, truffle fries, the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese and chicken fingers from the kids menu. My favorite was the steak sandwhich it was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor, the bread was soft and the sauces it had blended perfectly! I loved the fish tacos as well, the slaw and sauce it came with was good (although I did ask for a side of their black spicy aoli and that was a better addition too), the fish beer batter was also very good and light! I'd recommend this too. I loved the pear flatbread bread (it had a little kick to it!) and the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese (we opted for adding bacon and it wasn't worth it, so little bacon smh. But u can add vegetables or pulled pork too!) The burger was ok, nothing super great I could skip on that and the kids chicken tenders was alright too. My kids didn't care for it. I'd definitely go again! read more

Don't expect a laid back beach vibe here. You can expect a nice location, beautiful lagoon view, but unfortunately mediocre beer and food (horrible Mexican food), and a new management staff that thinks they're a fine dining experience. I grew up in the area and loved meeting my friends here from north and south for years! I'm guessing new owner or just new management but I'm never coming back to spend a dime here again! Pretty bummed. read more

Very kid and dog friendly. Definitely need reservations on the weekend! We went on a weekend and got last minute reservations for lunch. My husband and I shared steak and eggs and ordered it medium. We got our food and the steak was good until the last few pieces. It was almost rare but we didn't see it since it was the end pieces. We told our server and he said not to worry and will talk to the chef. We told him it's okay because we are getting full but he insisted. He brought out a brand new piece perfectly cooked. We thought he was so nice only to found out that we got charged for that extra piece when we got the bill. We didn't appreciate the lack of communication. If the sever told us that we will be charged, we wouldn't have asked for the piece since we were getting full. We spoke to the manager and he did end up taking it off the bill. But we had to wait because it was so busy. It would have been nice if the server told us rather than just charging us. Make sure to check your bill before paying! Otherwise the food and beer options are great! read more

I really liked this place! Ordered the farmers burger which was delicious. As a vegetarian, it's always nice to see places that have bean-based patties and not impossible meat. I got my burger with truffle fries which were delicious. I did not like the ketchup which I feel was house made- it was very vinegary. My partner liked his burger too but disliked the ketchup. He ordered "Sprite" but was not convinced it was Sprite and maybe a lemon lime dupe. We ordered the ceviche which was amazing and had wonderful flavor. Could have used a few more chips. The burgers were very big so you'll definitely get your moneys worth. A couple things for feedback: we put a note in the reservation it was our anniversary but no one followed up about it or asked us if we were celebrating anything. The host didn't ask us preference for inside or outside seating. We would've preferred outdoors and seemed like there were tables out there. The parking situation is not ideal, it'll be $6-10. read more

Vacationing in CA., my friend and I were here last year 2023. Back in CA. again and this visit we came here for lunch twice. We really love this place to come chill, relax and enjoy the beers and food. The service is always good, very friendly and attentive. Both time, we came for lunch. Plenty of indoor and patio seating, plus dog friendly. First visit, we weren't super hungry so we split a Backyard Burger, the kitchen was nice enough to cut it in half for us. The Second visit, my friend wanted his own Backyard Burger LOL and I ordered the Avocado Chilaquiles, it was so good. We'll be back again in 2025! Atmosphere: lofty relaxing vibe, bright and airy. Food: very good. Service: excellent. read more

The ambience and food is great. The food was delicious. The side salad had a floral taste to it so it was a bit of a surprise. I ordered a lettuce wrap that came with a pulled pork and picked carrots and onions. It was refreshing. The steak and eggs was ordered medium but the last few bites came out super rare. We asked him to cook it some more. He said he needed to check if the chef can put it back in the oven and he was told that they dont put food already eaten back into the oven so he would bring a small side of steak. It was made perfect and was delicious. But when got my bill, I was surprised he charged us extra for the piece of steak. We were actually full by the time the food came out because we waited awhile so I would not have ordered it if I needed to pay for it. I mentioned something to the manager regarding this and he comped plate and the side. He apologized for the mistake and said he was goingnto talk to the server later. I appreciated that he took good care of us. read more

Beer was average, no interesting flavors in the 6 beers we had in our two flights. Food was terrible. Salad was lettuce only, with lemon juice and olive oil. Chicken sandwich was overwhelmed with curry sauce. Service was ok. We had to sit outside due to the excessively loud music inside. It was a pretty warm day, but getting colder by the second. To add insult to injury, we had to pay them 6$ plus tip to park in their parking lot. It won't happen again. read more

Came here for a birthday outing, our server was very helpful with drink selections and food recommendations. Our water bottle refills were also done in a very quick manner. I've never had a bad time at Viewpoint! My food order was forgotten this night and I received my food after everyone had finished. I honestly should have spoke up sooner but I just assumed my order took a little longer. BUT the server comped my meal. I also wasn't drinking so this was the only thing I had ordered. I ate my food when everyone else was done but how could I be upset when this sandwich was a masterpiece. When I close my eyes I taste this sandwich... I know I was just here but everyday I am tempted to drive back here and eat this sandwich again.... I love how this place overlooks the lagoon and the outdoor area is peaceful. Family friendly establishment, lots of kids running around it was very cute. there's also tables with fire pits in the center which really sets the mood for me. read more

The service was great and the ambiance was nice-there's a relaxing view of the marsh. Many pet owners brought dogs, who happily sat on the seats (instead of the ground). My children liked their mac-n-cheese, but sadly us adults weren't happy at all with our meals. The Mushroom Flatbread had the texture of hard crackers. We didn't know that requesting "no cheese" also meant that there wouldn't be any sauce on it. So, it was dry and VERY HARD (the flat bread). We also ordered the Chicken Pot Pie, which sat on a brown gravy (beef?). The crust of the pie was flaky and cooked well, but the gravy didn't compliment it at all. Plus, the filling was dry (too many veggies/not enough sauce) and flavorless. Finally, the Sprite was flat! No, most people aren't ordering sodas here, but hey...the soda was like drinking sweet water. We won't return.... Unfortunately, we haven't been that impressed by the highly rated restaurants in Del Mar. ***Valet parking is required for $5. read more

Tried this place for my husband's birthday celebration with our friends and family . We had reservations for a party of 11 people. The place is nice, no parking though so you gotta valet. They were able to sit us pretty fast. We ordered lots of food and we were super disappointed after trying the food.Most of stuff we ordered didn't taste good or does have much flavor... The thing that was good were drinks , they had lots of options for you to try... but the food was underwhelming. read more

Lunch at Viewpoint Brewing with the family = 10/10 vibes. We rolled up and the valet was already setting the tone--friendly, chill, and clearly loving life. No stress, just good energy right from the start. We didn't have a reservation, but the hostess worked some magic and got us seated in no time. Props to her for saving us from becoming hangry. Our server? Awesome. Friendly, helpful, and knew the menu like a pro. I went with the flat iron steak frites (no regrets) and paired it with not one, but two Penitent Man beers--because one just wasn't enough. The combo hit the spot. Between the food, drinks, cool vibe, and killer views, this place checks all the boxes. Definitely recommend Viewpoint Brewing--and yes, I'm already planning my return trip. read more

I attended a work function to welcome a new staff member and decided to have dinner at Viewpoint Brewing Co. in Delmar-Solana Beach. Parking is available in a dirt lot with rock pebbles surrounding the area. Payment is required for parking, but there is additional parking about half a mile away from the brewery. The hostesses were all nice and the area is nestled alongside the San Dieguito River. We sat on the outside patio and enjoyed watching fish jumping up and down in the river. This place is not too far from the Del Mar Fair as well. I ordered a local ale alongside the veggie burger. I was surprised by how tasty and flavorful the burger was. The veggies were crisp and fresh. On my way out, I noticed a series of lockers mounted on the wall with beer mugs bearing the names of what could be frequent patrons of the restaurant. read more

Food: B. We ordered the chicken pot pie, ceviche, and artichoke flatbread. Our food was bland & lacked "sazón"(marrying of flavors) seasoning. Your chef needs to step up the flavor. My flatbread had minuscule amounts of artichoke and was super dry. Our dessert was apple pie w/vanilla ice cream and that was delish!!! Service: A+. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by a very friendly hostess. Our server was ok. Atmosphere: A+, casual with an open-air feeling. read more

A fantastic spot to relax with a beautiful view! The portions are generous and absolutely worth the price. Their burger is a must-try!

This brewery has been on my list for a while. Finally, I took the time to make a quick stop before meeting up with friends in San Diego. Had arrived around 1045am on a Saturday. There was no free parking onsite except valet. Luckily, there was a little parking space down the road in front of the lagoon. A very short walk to the brewery, which wasn't so bad. As I walked in, the hostess warmly greeted me then directed me to an outside bar with a beautiful lagoon view. I had ordered flight beers consisting of three flavors of my choice. Just Peachy, Bari's Passion, and Creme De La Creme were my choices. All fruity beers with interesting vibes. My favorite was the Creme De La Creme. It tasted like a Cream Soda. It was nice to just sit embracing in taking appreciating nature as I'm enjoying a few beers. Service was phenomenal provided by Ryan. Very nice and friendly prompt with any answers I needed. Thanks to him for the wonderful experience I had at the brewery. Put this on your list when you are in Del Mar. You won't be disappointed. read more

We had such a great experience. All the wait staff was so friendly. Poor things we really put them to the test as we moved table a couple of time. Started on the patio enjoying the view but decided to move in to a table so we could all talk easier and weren't in a row. I'm not the biggest beer person but everyone i was with was happy and I enjoyed their red wine blend from paso Robles. They even have a monthly mug club where you get to store your own special mug in a locker. Valet parking for $5 was also a great bonus. Head over and check them out read more

Had a farewell dinner with some friends after a workday. Nice location, beautiful view, and great food/drinks! The biggest turnoff for this place is the parking. It took the majority of our party 20+ mins each to find parking since the lot attached/next door are both small and fill up quickly. If you plan to park in their lot, be prepared to double park as about half the lot is dedicated to double parking. The brewery has a system to keep tabs on who blocks cars in so they can contact them if someone decides to leave, but if you plan to stay for a while you'll be fine. Aside from parking, everything else was great! Very spacious, outdoor seating. Lovely view of the water, the staff were nice, and everything we ate and drank was great! Perfect place to hang out with your friends and would definitely recommend for anyone in the Del Mar area. read more
