Absolutely love the vibe and their selection of beers! 5 star for the selection of beers.The only Food option is from the food truck next to it, and is really limited! Pizza wasn’t the best and a little burnt.Would still go there for beer and vibe! Tropical Mist and Sunset crush were my favourite! ?

Horrible customer service, very rude and unprofessional server. Doesn’t know a thing about customer service.

We took five beers for tasting. 3/5 were good. Rest was average.Food was bad and served cold ?I can go there again for the beers but definitely not the food

Nice place, nice people, bartender super kind… the beers, omg!

I love this place! Walking distance from my house, close to the park, and great vibes/aesthetic. I’ve sampled a lot of the beers here - but my favorites so far are the Alpine Ascent Cold IPA and the Hyperion Quadruple (!) IPA. Tasting pours are priced individually, but if you pick five for a flight, you basically get one free. They also serve pizza here, although I haven’t actually tried that yet - I will when I come back!

Full disclosure I'm not from the west coast. I enjoy a fine IPA, but I don't need it to taste like pure hops. The quintuple IPA served here being the prime example of that. It's just too much. That aside, the brewery itself is cool and the staff are nice. I see why people like it but it's not my thing.

I have visited this place three times in the past year and they never disappoint. Friendly staff, incredible beer and pizza! I highly recommend the hot honey pizza. If you don't drink alcohol, they offer Spindrift which is a great alternative. We stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and there was a ton of street parking (2 hours for $2.50). Enjoy!

Good location, good beer, and good pizza. At our last visit, their system which is supposed to text you when your food is ready didn't work correctly, which resulted in our pizza being cold when I went across the street to their pizza truck to investigate. The staff didn't offer to re-make the pizza when we explained what happened and actually suggested that it was my phone which did not receive the text, rather than an issue on their end. They did agree to re-make one of the pizzas after we explicitly asked, but we felt really strange having the blame put on us for our cold food. Bottom line: if you order food here and don't get a text within 10 minutes, go across the street to check on your food if you want it hot!

Great staff, great beer selection. Whether you want to sit inside or outside, they got you covered. Pizza from URBN is pretty good recommend the hot mess and/or the salad! Beers are constantly changing

Great beer + great atmosphere = a great time. Pure project never disappoints at any location. The blankets are a nice touch for cool evenings.
