Ballast Point Brewing Miramar - San Diego, California

Very good brewery in miramar area with ample parking. Great Patio and also many tables inside. Our Server was awesome. Sculpin was the best beer. Watermelon double IPA was so so. Definitely worth the try if you are in the area.

Huge place in a gorgeous building, nicely decorated and great beer. We didn’t try any food when we were here (which looked good), but had plenty of beer, the important things yanno 😂

I should say, Firstly, is that I do love some Ballast point beer. I have been drinking it for some time and Sculpin has always been a go to. Going to this brewery was an experience. It is massive! A giant bar, cocktail tables, shared tables, 2 separate private rooms, a dining area, a mini store, it's a one stop shop. We got the wings and the birria tacos, and shared them. I felt like we paid a bit more for the building. The food was good, but compared to neighboring restaurants, the portion size fell short. It's OK though, I get it, and the prices weren't as outrageous as they could have been, and the ambiance is very nice. The reason it fell a star short was the service, because looking around, the owner definitely put it the work. The bartender we started with was definitely not the one we ended with. It could have been a fluke, but was one that could have been fixed with some communication. I'll still buy the beer...

I loved this place. Great beer and good food. I really loved the selection of beer most of all. Also, their ordering system is extremely efficient. Great for lunch and dinner!

Great place to grab some great beer and delicious food. This place is huge and can accommodate any size party that you need it to. There are several bars around the venue as well. Ther is ample indoor seating and a huge patio. It a wonderful place for hosting and attending business events, large gathering, or just hanging out at the bar and tasing all that they have to offer. They have a full restaurant here and off plenty of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages besides beer. The food is great and always arrives quickly.

There is tons of parking for customers, but somehow not quite enough because of how popular it is. So you might have to find street parking and walk over. Its not a problem, just be aware. Wheelchair accessible parking and entrances as well.

Out here visiting my brother and his family with our parents. Somehow we'd never visited any of the Ballast Point locations while out here. To sum up:

5 star beer - we had a range of styles and we all enjoyed what we got.

3 star food - mostly basing that off my pizza, which was good but nothing special. My nephew's burger looked really good if that's your thing, and my sister-in-law enjoyed her fish tacos. The pretzel bites with beer cheese and mustard were really good. My brother and my mom got chicken sandwiches and didn't really say much about them.

1-star service - mostly because it was non-existent. We sat outside. We had to order online and grab our own napkins, silverware and water. Our appetizers came out with our meals - well really, after some because our meals didn't all come out together.

But overall, still worth it for the beer. In my opinion.

My sister-in-law, on the other hand, says she'll never be back because of the lack of service.

Review is for the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich. I’ve been to this place several times and the chicken has always been superior, it seems they changed who they get the chicken from or I just got a bad piece and it’s probably one of the lowest quality chicken breast I’ve ever had. McDonald’s McCrispy Chicken is better than whoever they are getting this from. I don’t normally do reviews but this was quite upsetting because Ballast Point has always had amazing food but I couldn’t finish the sandwich. Great Beer and Local Crafts though but they definitely gotta work on the menu for food.

Visited in April 2015. We attempted to visit the establishment on India Street, but unfortunately, we couldn’t find a parking space. Consequently, we decided to head to here. On a bustling Saturday afternoon, the place was packed. We patiently waited for half an hour to get our beers and about the same amount of time to secure a table. However, this wasn’t an issue for us. The beer selection was truly remarkable. After all, Ballast Point is one of my favorite breweries. The beers were fantastic, and we had a great time.
