    We are all familiar with belchings infamous beers so let's talk about the brewery. Fast service. Bar games. Good ambiance. But I have to dock some stars because no business in the food/drink industry should be allowed to have a restroom as filthy as this one. And it was early in the night too!

    One of the best craft beer spots in San Diego. Had family from Nashville and we had to try it as they are big fans I'd their product. Had the Mexican chocolate stout, it was delicious. No surprise there. We were doing a brew tour so we went on to the next location. This is a definite stop for any beer lover. Be advised, there is no kitchen on premises. They welcome people with their own grub and there are a number of options all within walking distance. Don't forget to take pictures with their iconic "Greetinga from San Diego" mural. Its adjacent to the bar and it's a must.

    The open concept of the establishment really captures the ocean breeze. The beer is nice and the staff are friendly so give it a try and support a local business!

    We came on a Sunday morning around mid November right when they started the covid restriction to have everyone sit outside and to order food with every alcoholic purchase. So thats what we did. It was pleasant outside, not too crowded and everyone was more than 6 feet apart. The beers were excellent and the staff was super friendly. We had a pleasantly chill time here. This location does not provide the full menu of food like the other locatio. So be wary.

    GREAT SATELLITE LOCATION to sample and enjoy all that Belching Beaver has to offer! For $12 you can get 4 tastings of anything on draft- we thought that was a great deal. You can also buy full glasses or purchase from their selection of cans. We thoroughly enjoyed the hard seltzer (Raspberry - Blackberry is amazing). We did not order food but they had hot dog platters for sale (looks like different pop ups rotate weekly).

    Overrated. Perhaps I visited this place on a wrong day and talked to the wrong staff. There was not much interaction with the staff, and there was definitely no enthusiastic recommendation on certain beer. Got a flight of 4 (pretty standard for me to do when I visit a brewery the first time). I liked the hoppy hoppy night and the mango beer. I think they were creative in making these flavored beer, but some of them tasted like artificial flavor. Overall, a good place to hang with friend with nice atmosphere. I am just not a big fan of their beers.

    My best friends boyfriend took us to this spot in North Park - said I had to taste their stout. I did make it known that I’m not really a stout gal (I’d say a year ago I was super into hazy IPAs, but in the last 6 months I’ve been really into fruited sour beers). After sampling their peanut butter milk stout I’ll admit it wasn’t half bad. Given I’m trying my hardest to broaden my horizons when it comes to food, drinks and just overall opportunities in life I decided to hell with and drink the milk stout. And that’s exactly what I did.

    Pretty good beers. They make some excellent shower beers if you're in the marketm

    Love this place. Great community hangout, dog friendly, great service from the staple bar staff. No food but plenty of options nearby that deliver and the typical food truck That posts up out front. They offer beer floats with a couple of their stouts, a unique offering and surprisingly delicious! Go with a flight, give a few of their offerings a try. You won't be disappointed.

    I asked which of their peanut butter beers they recommended (there are 4) and instead of making a recommendation or explaining the differences, the bartender asked which one I wanted. I would give it one star for service. The second star is because the beer was quite good.

    If you come to a brewery and the bartender doesn’t know the hops in an IPA and doesn’t recommend one, what would you think? “We make too many beers to keep up with” must love his job. Your welcome for the 40% tip

    Was so excited to be back after a long renovation period, but instead had to spend my night being made fun of by the bartender and his friend who chose work together to make sure none of the songs I paid for played on the jukebox. When I asked them to please let at least one of the 6 songs I played for play the bartender told me it was last call and to close out. Will not be coming back and will be telling everyone I know not to come by.

    Awesome atmosphere and good beers. Did a flight, obviously they were all good.

    Had a great beer here on a recent visit to San Diego. Love their mural outside. Friendly welcome from the bartender and they were playing great late 90s-2000s music that this elder millenial loves. Neat neighborhood, a must add to your San Diego brewery tour.

    I had a fun time playing trivia here and it’s a nice space but they really should have 1 nonalcoholic option that’s not water in 2023. Meanwhile other neighborhood bars have mocktail menus and nonalcoholic beer. They don’t even have sparking water or any other option.

    Been on the bucket list to make it to, ever since I tried the peanut butter stout on draft in Canada many years ago. Did not disappoint. All of the selections were great, so far had the best sour locally. Games room in the back and deceivingly large. Trivia is on Thursday (I sadly won't be around to participate). 1000% support! That however may be my Canadian affinity for beaver(s)!

    This place has so many fun beers. It also has a great atmosphere. The staff is helpful and answered all of our questions. We loved Thursday trivia!

    Wonderful beer, and the bartender was knowledgeable about the beers on tap. She had great suggestions, and you could tell she was a fan.
