Great place. Good beer and wine choices. Baby's burgers! Excellent food. Games to play. Excellent service. Jen at Baby's burgers smiley and super friendly.

Our first time visiting this place. We went last Saturday night to watch the “Horseshoe Lucky Band”. This place was spacious and had several breweries offering a variety of drinks at reasonable prices, an urban winery, and burger joint. Enjoyed listening and dancing to country music.

This place had no love for my open mindedness.

We hosted our "wedding welcome" the night before our wedding at the CoLab Public House. We booked on fairly short notice as our original venue permanently closed unexpectedly, but CoLab turned that challenging situation into a smashing success!We had the pleasure of working with Sam, who was very responsive over email, transparent on pricing, and very accommodating with the space. Our group of about 115 took over the top mezzanine with a ticket system for drinks downstairs, and we were able to use the TVs for a slideshow. At each step of the way, and especially on the big day, Sam was incredibly helpful, kind, and helped make us feel at home.The venue itself is warm, has a great selection of craft beers, and very good American grub. The burgers onsite were especially good, but some of our guests with dietary restrictions appreciated the availability of the other types of food. Guests from out of town kept asking us how we found this place...and I'm so glad we did!

Just visited the wine bar. Did the wine tasting. Both reds and whites tasted amazing.

For a place that is seemingly very family friendly and inclusive of kids, extremely disappointing that there is only a changing table in the women's restroom.

Love this place!! Such a great neighborhood brewery with so much fun

Nice place and plenty of options for beer and wine. Food is also available but did not try any, so cannot comment on it. The trivia night is super fun, the host is awesome. TVs are also available to watch the games! I would recommend this place to switch it up from a brewery vibe.

We've been here twice and had a nice time on each of those trips. It's located right off the south side of the 78 just off the Vista line heading towards San Marcos. The first visit was to meet up with a friend to see the live band "The Smokin Guns" We caught the tail end of the performance and they were jamming as people danced away. A fun time. Then we came back for the infamous Burgers. The brick n mortar there is called Baby's Burgers. A woman owned joint. Goodness I'm glad my son wanted burgers for dinner and that I remembered I had wanted to revisit for the burgers here. Each item on the menu has a fun name to it. Like the regular curly fries are called piggie tails. And the Mamacita burger has jalapeños. I had them on the side. They were delicious. If you go to their instagram they have their daily activities posted. We actually came on Thursday and there wasn't any official activity other than people watching their favorite sports at one of the three breweries & propaganda wine co. bar top regions. Our date night was with our adult kiddos and we all had a lovely time eating together--upstairs by the mini arcade section. I'll be back for sure!

The atmosphere is really nice. It's family friendly. Sometimes, they have bands playing . They have food, beer, wine and arcades. Fun for all. The best part is that all the employees are kind and friendly and really make you feel at home.I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes to have a good time and unwind a little.
This was out first time to CoLab and it was Harry Potter Trivia night. The place was decked out with Harry Potter stuff everywhere. Great job. We had a few burgers and a beer. This place it pretty cool if you just want to have a few drinks because you can choose from different vendors within the restaurant. Nice concept. It's kinda like a beer/wine/food "foodcourt" for adults. We had some Harry Potter ringers for trivia, but the questions were hard. I think we came in 5th place out of 30 or so teams, so, not too bad overall. Check this place out.

I came here two days in a row. What a hidden gem. Downstairs you have a winery and several breweries plus a burgers place called Baby's. Upstairs is an arcade. They have bingo on Tuesdays and trivia on Wednesdays. I loved propaganda wine so much I joined the membership which is free but you buy one bottle a month and you get a free tasting for you and a guest once a week. I came to breakwater brewing the next day and found some high ABV drinks! From baby's I tried the chili fries which were just ok to the mamacita burger, which was so tender and had a good thin bun ratio to the chunky piece of burger. I'll be a regular!

Love this place! Super great to come with friends or family, and all of the in between. The burgers are great + they are doing kids eat free monday through fridays.The winery is such a great addition and their whites are amazing. I haven't tried the breweries but have heard from friends that they are great too.also, they host events often including kareoke! If you want to bring kids they have an upstairs game room with arcade games as well. They opened an outdoor area that has games such as connect four, ring toss, ax throwing and more making it a fun environment for everyone.

Great beer selection. They even have wine for wine lovers. Food is kinda pricey but it's still good.

Food: First time at #CoLab Public House-One choice of food, baby's burgers. The burgers were delicious, I ordered the mamacita burger and my husband ordered one with an egg. The bun was nice & soft, the burger was juicy, reminded me of The Habit burger with more choices. The curly fries were perfectly fried, crispy on the outside & nice & hot. My husband ordered the chili fries, they were good, reminded me of working at an arcade and scooping the chili & cheese from huge cans to the huge steel crock pots, didn't taste homemade or special but it was good. Drinks: Variety of choices, you can get a soda from the burger place. I ordered a wine flight from Propaganda Wines, you can pick 4 different types (except the reserve) so I tasted the Syrah, Zin, Tempranillo & Cab, enjoyed all of them. My husband ordered a couple of different IPAs and enjoyed his. Service: We arrived at 4 pm to check out the happy hour, it only applies to beer, and know we know there isn't any other food options. We had not eaten all day because we were going to splurge our calories at dinner, so we were disappointed the burger place wasn't open yet. We waited in line because we heard people in the kitchen but one of the beer vendors, across the burger place, said it would be about 10 minutes because they were short 1 person & would be running late. So we ordered beer and my wine & waited. About 20 minutes later, the cook came out and said he could take our order and we could pay after, so that's what we did. A few minutes after he left, a girl showed up & my husband paid, no sorry or anything, we just laughed about it. The food came out pretty fast and we appreciated the cook that came out, he seemed to care. Ambiance: super cool and chill, love the casual and modern ambiance. Not very many people on Wednesday, so it might be a good day to go. Price: $16 for each burger + tipFlight: $16 + tipBeer: $7.50 each + tip (didn't get the $5 Happy hour price but could've been certain beers)
