Finally tried this place. We ordered the Nine Burger its okay but the husband ordered the Escondido Cheesesteak and love it. The Truffle Shuffle Fries were good with choices of dipping sauce love their honey mustard and aioli sauce. They have good selection of beers but we didn't try the beer at this visit. We did try the fresh fruit lemonade mango, berry and pineapple and they were very good and refreshing. The place decor is cool and staff was friendly. It a good casual place to enjoy a meal and drinks.

Great menu, excellent beer and entertaining atmosphere with pinball machines and all sorts of goodies for sale from vinyls to homemade hot sauces. My favorite of their beers were the St. Pauly Shore Unfiltered Kölsch and the Modern Love American Lager. For my full review, check out frequentflighters.com

Excellent beer and food!

Best little brewery in town. Amazing beer, amazing food, amazingest staff ♡

We've walked past this place many times, but finally decided to stop in and check it out tonight. Glad we did.The food is outstanding. We split the Fancy Pants burger, Mac /w bacon, and truffle fries.The burger was delicious, and perfectly cooked. The bacon, spiced honey drizzle, and brie was a surprisingly good combination. Will definitely be ordering this again.The mac was a generous portion, with chunks of bacon throughout.The truffle fries were again, perfectly cooked, and paired awesome with the jalapeno aioli.The beer and cider we had was as good, if not better, than some of our favorite breweries in the county - which is saying a LOT in a place like San Diego, where there is no shortage of options.Service was attentive, and friendly. Food came out in a very reasonable time, what you'd expect from a kitchen where everything is made to order, from scratch...and to top it all off, they have pinball machines, and a LEGIT vinyl collection. Highly recommend Plan 9.

Brought the full lunch group, including our set of IPA beers snobs. There were plenty of good options, the hazy IPA and the double IPA both got good reviews. The burgers (unique takes each) all did well and of course the fish and chips were solid. The styling of the place is almost too hip, but all in all it was a great lunch. We will be back.

Excellent service, delicious food, awesome sauces, and a fun ambiance! A must vist for out-of-towners like us. Thank you, Chef Chris, my husband enjoyed the sauce tasting, and we took some home!

What a keeper! Variety of beer selections (some of us don't like IPAs or sours LOL); attentive staff; relaxed environment; great burger!

Awesome service, creative meals with amazing homemade tasty dipping sauces. Definitely delicious. Open spaces with an in-house vinyl DJ record player.

Good burgers, huge mac n cheese...leftovers were reheated later and I still have leftovers...friendly staff...
