Fairly small worn in place with nice selection of satellite sports feed showing every NFL game being played this day. I was initially disappointed to see the IPA and the IIPA out. The few beers I tried were solid but not stellar. I enjoyed the Porter, Blond and the Red. Didn’t try the food. I plan to come back when the IPA and IIPA are on and I’m in town again.

Ambiance was fine, but perhaps a little too much when busy (i.e. loud and too many TVs). I prefer quieter places. The beer was average, as was the service. The food was a little above average. A decent brewpub.

Located near the center of La Jolla. Basically tucked into a small corner, though. Atmosphere was okay, but nothing to write home about. Beer was average for a brewpub. They had 5 on tap the day I was there. Didn’t eat. Service was fine.

Bar is a nice atmosphere, lots of TV’s, good service and pretty good ribs. There was a weird looking empty back room that looked like it was about to turn into a night club. At the time I was there (summer 2005) they didn’t serve samplers but glad to see from another review that they do now. Tried 2 beers that were both decent.

Late night visit. Carded by the "bouncer". Loud music with a DJ and lots of hip-hop folk running around. Very divish feel to it, but they make beer here. Hmm. Nailed down a sampler of some average beer. No problems with the staff and didn’t order food. Perhaps I came at the wrong time to really enjoy this place from my perspective. Others might enjoy this more, but I think later on in the night, this ceases to be a brewpub and turns into a bar.

Great atmosphere (we ate outside on the deck) located right in the heart of La Jolla. Lunch special appeared to be the right choice - beer and a burger for $6.50. The regular price for a beer is $4.00 and a burger is $7.00 so this was a no-brainer. The burgers looked awesome but neither were cooked very well. Black on the outside and rare in the middle (we ordered them "done".) I had their IPA and Red. Both tasted incredibly similar and were not particularly good. The best part about this place is that it’s right next door to a BevMo!
