"The downtown, Sorrento Mesa, Carlsbad, and 4S Ranch locations of Karl Strauss brewpubs are open and offerer their full menus along with barre, wine,and hard seltzer for pickup (order online) or delivery through Door Dash,GrubHub,and Uber Eats."
"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."
"Opening in 2012, Societe Brewing Company quickly made a name for itself by winning West Coaster’s Best Brewery award in 2014 and 2016. Its picture-perfect IPAs like The Pupil, one of BeerAdvocate’s top beers, and The Coachman, a 2015 gold medal-winning session IPA at the Great American Beer Festival, that stoke the engine of this San Diego brewery. Most recently, we were stoked on Societe’s new collab with Pizza Port Brewing Co."
"Founded in 2012, Societe Brewing Company specializes in Belgian style taps and wine barrel aged beers. Head over for a free tour of the brewery and sample the large tasting options. Follow your favorite cold brews with fresh, tempting selections from the daily food trucks parked nearby."
"Dark Horse Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster that strives to be super-approachable, all-inclusive, and driven by employees and customers. This roaster is a bit quirky, contemporary and hip, showcasing an eye-catching logo and distinct design. Dark Horse takes pride in serving the highest quality direct trade beans that are roasted in-house daily and brewed through their main methods of pour over, french press, and cold brew."
"Dark Horse is a super-popular coffee shop in San Diego and definitely deserves the praise. With tons of freshly roasted, non-gmo coffee bags to choose from, talented baristas, and a well rounded brand, they know exactly how to do coffee. The South Park location has a cute pavilion that is very comfortable and great for enjoying San Diego’s warm weather!"
"Dark Horse Coffee Roasters is also one of the best coffee shops in San Diego. One of the reasons why Dark Horse Coffee Roasters is amazing is that they care a lot about relationships. For example, they care about their relationship with you, the customer."
"Coffee Cycle is an amazing and very small location right on the edge of Pacific Beach that’s a great place to go if you want to just be in and out and not have to deal with crowds. The best thing about this coffee shop is its neighborhood feel. Coffee Cycle is not the best place to go if you want to get comfortable and work due to the fact that it has very little seating and lots of street noise."
