Quick service and large portions

by cr1039 at Citysearch

Good place to stop in for an extended lunch while checkng out downtown.

Feel free to share a meal as they are quite large. Be sure to try a beer from their own menu!

• Pros: Large portions for sharing, interesting beer menu
• Cons: Non really, the place is just kind of average - like a regular brew pub

great beer

by chelseafeilen at Citysearch

I like the downtown location and this location. They will not seat you unless all of your party is present :( but other than that I have no complaints. The mac and cheese is pretty good. The fish tacos are good. All the portions are pretty large. But the beer is the main event. I have a soft spot for beweries.

• Pros: da beer
• Cons: having to wait for your whole party to show up before you can be seated

Best spinach dip

by cyrinthia22 at Citysearch

The food here is actually pretty good. I had pasta and I wasn't expecting it to be the greatest and it wasn't. But it was still pretty good. I'm assuming that the burgers and steak are much better since it is sort of their specialty. Like I said, the spinach artichoke dip is different from what you get at other restaurants, but in a good way. It's a little spicy and packed with a lot of flavor. Definitely one of the best I've tried.

• Pros: appetizers
• Cons: none

Best beer in San Diego

by jammm129 at Citysearch

I had always heard about Rock Bottom but I thought it was just a club downtown. My friend took me to the one in La Jolla and I had a great time. I loved the beer, and the food was pretty good too. I would recommend Rock Bottom to anyone who wants a cool atmosphere, reasonable happy hour prices, and good service.

Not so good burgers

by dmenkes at Citysearch

I've been here a number of times for work group lunches. While their staff has always been friendly, I've never been a huge fan of their food. Their beer selection is decent, for sure; but I wouldn't be apt to come here for dinner on my own.

Lively brewery attracts a happy hour crowd during the week and late night revelers for food and dancing on weekends

In Short
The shiny, cherry-wood paneling, long wooden bar and exposed copper brewing vessels prove this bar is more about the beer than the menu. Young professionals stop in for lunch and return for great happy hour specials during the week, while live music acts or hot DJs brings in a steady going-out crowd on weekends. The beer-infused menu includes Brown Ale chicken, asiago cheese dip with handmade beer bread.
