Great place to watch sports with friends and have a decent selection of beer to choose from. The service is pretty fast, you order from your phone using the QR codes on the table. Last night I was here with a few friends, I ordered the shareable buffalo chicken tenders. They did not look like the picture in the menu at all. They honestly reminded me of Tyson chicken tenders you get from the store that were drenched in buffalo sauce. I would avoid this menu item.

This Ballast Point location might be my favorite brewery in all of San Diego! This location is huge and has indoor seating, outdoor seating, bar seating - there's a vibe for everyone. Their beers are top notch and their food is great as well! I love coming here with a group, ordering some beers and some shareables. Service is always top notch as well. There are a ton of breweries in this area - so definitely add this spot to your list if you are doing some brewery hopping! Or a great spot for a meal!

Dropped by to grab some quick drinks and small food with the gang after a keycap event before we headed to the 626 night market! The service here is wild! We sat down with our friends and there are QR codes on the tables for the menu. The really neat thing is that each QR is unique to your table, meaning you can place your order through and they'll bring it literally immediately! AND, each person has their own tab on their phone which was great. Mobile checkout was super quick and easy too!! I got an unsweetened iced tea, delicious as always and I had some of my bf's coffee stout? I can't remember exactly but it was delicious and I don't normally go for that kind of drink when it comes to alcohol! We shared some garlic fries and their pretzel bite things, both delicious and really hit the spot. Definitely a great place to grab some drinks and small bites, didn't get anything else but stayed to chat and hang out with friends we don't see often. Love how quick and easy the entire place is! I can definitely see this as a future service for tons of food spots! IG: @ammysalamii

Excellent staff makes this place worth it. The selection of drinks are pretty decent, a little something for everyone. Always enjoy coming back to see what new drinks they find and offer. Food is just ok, doesn't feel like you are getting the freshest ingredients, and the taste can veer towards being bland. The Cesar salad was not so good, but the BBQ chicken pizza was actually rather decent.

burger (4/5) solid burger truffle fries (4.8/5) not the best i've had but still really good, loved the crunch and cheese alcohol (3.5/5) i forgot what i got but it was 2 fruity ones and they were pretty decent, i think one was a pineapple cider and the other a hibiscus sour - tasted almost identical tbh

Great place to hang out! My friends and I love the watermelon dorado, it's amazing, especially with an order of the pretzel balls. The bartenders are fast and overall friendly and inviting!

Tasty drinks and yummy food. It’s been yeas since we were here and we can’t wait to come back. We had cider, kombucha, and buffalo wings.

Steve and I once again went to Ballast Point for a beer. We try to pick one that we haven't had before even though we have our favorites with the brewery we decided to try something that we haven't had from our beer selection. We had the Grunion Pale Ale on this particular outing and we liked this pale ale very well. Flavor features to look for with this beer is hoppiness, fruity and floral. The beer is light bodied which we often like and desire and this pale ale is smooth in body which we appreciate a great deal on nearly every beer experience occasion.

Stopped in for a couple beers today. Hadn't been in a looooong time. Opening day for MLB. Caught a couple innings of the Padres vs Giants. Clean place as always....good beers...decent service. It was after lunch hours so not busy at all. Place is super clean and quick service. Plenty of parking when it isn't lunchtime.
A weekend mainstay for my friends and I. Tried most beers here. I really enjoy the Habanero Sculpin, Wahoo White and the Chai Victory at Sea. I don’t get food here too often but I did try the Steamed Mussels. It had Longfin, Clam broth, butter, lemon juice, Chicken Andouille, roasted new potatoes. Tons of mussels too, really nice to eat!

Doesn’t say this anywhere until you arrive but they stop seating you a full hour and half before close which seems pretty excessive.

Great beer

Had a wonderful time sampling their beers, kombucha and non alcoholic drinks. Our server Max was attentive, friendly and made us feel right at home. Our go to entrees at BP are the fish tacos with the jalapeno cream.

Awesome place to unwind after a long work day.
