10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Sunset Cliffs

"For a casual dinner, check-out this local Memphis style BBQ joint where everything is made fresh daily. With spectacular park and bay views, they have over 100 varieties of beer to choose from to help you wash down the delicious food!. Don’t forget to check-out So Diego Tours for a chance to experience the best this island has to offer as part of a group!"

"This brewery specializing in San Diego-style lagers and ales has great service, great food, and of course, great beer. The taproom is large (there’s even balcony seating) and unlike many San Diego breweries, the decor feels upscale, not industrial. Maybe because of that — and because of the welcoming atmosphere — the mix of people tends to be eclectic."

"Karl Strauss Brewing is one of the oldest San Diego breweries on the block!. Starting back in the mid 80’s, Karl Strauss has been leading the craft beer scene before it became popular. Their craft brews have received many gold medals, including the famous Red Trolley Ale (which has been award 11 gold and 5 silver medals)."

"Their red trolley ale is my favorite and a great pick for first time visitors. Many convenient locations across San Diego (even inside airport terminal!) makes it a great option to try."

"If you can get past the strange name, you’ll find some tasty craft beers (and a lot of beaver puns) here. This quirky brewery is all about “dam good times,” as it says, so all of the company’s beers, from its light blonde ales to barrel-aged stouts, have an extra dose of personality. The company features lots of interesting flavor combinations, like a Mexican Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout, a caramel-flavored Tastes Like Space brew, and a malty lager that apparently has a “mild biscuit” flavor."

The tavern offers lunch Wednesday through Sunday, and dinner Monday through Friday, with a weekday Happy Hour."

"8030 Girard Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 999-0034$ | Hidden Gem | Coffeehouse. This low-key spot has a cheery, comfortable yet funky vibe but serves up some rockin’ food suitable for every diet.

"There are a lot of farmers’ markets to take advantage of in San Diego and the Saturday ‘Mercato’ Street Market in Little Italy is one of the best. It’s one of the largest markets in the city and happens from 8 am to 2 pm every Saturday, rain or shine. It’s also one of the best things to do in Little Italy to get a feel for the communal nature of this neighborhood."
