    The beer is hit or miss. My husband and I are big on hazy IPA's. We've been here a few times, sometimes we find a great beer, other times we didn't care for it. Today it was delicious! The decor here is great! Very relaxing. The bartender was very nice.

    The beer is good. The location is nice. The bartender is attentive. Prices are reasonable.

    Really nice place! Very relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. Great drink selection! Lots of beers, seltzer's, and even slushes! They had a great IPAs and lots of seltzer flavors that were all very good! They also have prepackaged food like salads, and sandwiches for purchase. If you don't want to spend a lot on food they also offer $1 nuts that are also really good. Great place, good drinks and friendly service.

    Fun ambiance and youthful vibe

    Cool surf- coastal vibe with decor and music to match! But of course you came for the beer- so here's the scoop! New beer on rotation With plenty of seltzer's and even a beer slush! But for those who keep it real! Honestly some great beer with nice smooth drinkability Great Haze, double IPA and more! Come check out this Vista brewery and support local! Oh- and they do offer food and soda (for your DD)

    We stumbled upon this gem just after going to another local brewery and was pleasantly surprised what was lingering just around the back corner. It was just 30 minutes before closing and so we tried a few samples and then split one of the strawberry tropical brews. So good. I am in love with the vibe here. If anyone from the Yelp community management hasn't ventured here yet. I totally see a Brewventure a brewing here! It would be fantastic! I definitely want to come back. They get food trucks so that's a plus as well. Nice and clean open floor plan. They have plenty of seating areas and a pool table! Very family friendly.

    Great brews that west coastal local will love. Chill vibe and good people make this a must try destination in the craft meca of North County.

    Such a great place to play pool with your friends. Open space, feels really nice, Great opulence. Definitely will recommend this place

    Awesome beers and seltzers!
    Aris M.

    Love this place so much!! Everyone is so nice and the vibes are amazing. Very beachy/surfer-y and overall relaxing. They have a wide variety of beers AND seltzers. Tried the Mojave Haze, a west coast IPA and the Baja Blasted. Be warned the Baja blasted makes your tongue blue ;). It seems like a hole in the wall but those are the best places. Dogs welcome too!! Bring your best friends (human and animal alike) and enjoy great drinks.

    Great beer cool vibe although it looks a lot like Helia inside and a similar surf logo.the hazy IPA is really good, I liked the pilsner a lot too, the blond was good and the mosaic was done good as well. They have a nice big tasting room with a pool table. They also have a big outdoor area with corn hole and assorted games. The staff was friendly and pleasant to deal with. They had NFL on so that's a bonus.The beer is good so I will be back.

The vibe is super laid-back and welcoming, which makes it a great place whether you're stopping by for a drink, grabbing a bite with friends, or bringing the whole family along.

It's the kind of place where you can actually relax, hang out, enjoy your food, and stay awhile without feeling rushed. The food has always hit the spot, and of course the drink selection is a huge plus. There are plenty of options depending on what you're in the mood for, and it's a fun place to try something different. Overall, good food, good drinks, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd happily come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a casual place to hang out and have a good time!

The place has a cabin feel with the wood work and cozy feeling. Sometimes it's a little dark after coming in from outside so you need to let your eyes adjust so you can read the menu. Amanda was my server today. And like any of the other servers I had before her, all were friendly and helpful. I was opting for a soup, sandwich and salad for today's meal. I asked about the sour of the day. Amanda shared that it was Toscano soup. She described it has a broth/cream base with potato and sausage, and kale. I selected a balsamic dressing with my house side salad. My cocktail for today was an espresso martini. Amanda mentioned that it was not made with espresso coffee, that it was espresso liquor. I asked for Bailey's be added (additional $2.50 a shot to the martini). It was very good and I'm glad I added the Bailey's otherwise it would have been too strong. My meal was perfect! That Toscano soup was very flavorful. My grilled cheese sandwich was made with pepper jack cheese. I will try the traditional cheddar cheese next time. The sourdough bread had a stale taste to me. Not sure if it was, but that was my take on it. It didn't stop me from eating it all (came only half a sandwich). I pretty much finished my plate (a little salad left). All was great along with my cocktail. I enjoy coming here. They do have outdoor seating if you wish. There is street parking with a 2 hour limit. There is some all day parking no fee for either. This entire street is extra busy on the weekends.

Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.
