Decided to head down and try this Pizza Port out on a random Saturday night.
A: The same vibe that the Carlsbad Pizza Port had on my past visit, but much less crowded. Seemed to attract the beach going type for the most part.
Q: Nothing to complain about here. The beer was fresh and the food was well prepared.
S: The bartender that served us was extremely helpful, friendly, and prompt. Something I think most of us look for when we go to any restaurant.
S: Had anywhere from 15 to 20 taps, all but five were in-house brews. The variety was nice, but I almost wish they had more to offer.
F: Ordered the Carlsbad pizza...and it was mighty tasty. The only complaint was the price. I think a medium was close to twenty dollars, which isn't bad, but still expensive for a pizza. But again, I had two great beers for less than 10 bucks...which was a great deal in my mind. Guess they kind of balance each other out.
Overall: I'll definitely visit this place again, but I'll have a larger group of friends join me next time. Good to see a quality brewpub in south Orange County.

Visited on a lovely Sunday evening in summer. The best way to describe this place is “socal beach town” - the decor, the vibe, the service, the ingredients in the food - very “socal beach town”. Great beer, lots of hops but some other styles mixed in too. But the hoppy beers are amazing. Pizza was ok, but the beer is the draw. Service was reasonably helpful for selecting beer and prompt. Nice brewpub.

Always enjoy stopping by Pizza Port's San Clemente location. There's an upper and lower bar, with mostly in house Pizza Port selections, though they do carry a handful of guest selections as well. Solid pizzas, just like Pizza Port's other locations. The worst aspect, the place can get noisy; the best aspect it hosts great beer fests from time to time (that manages to stay a bit under the radar).

Definitely get the Swami's IPA when you're there, its an OG IPA from the earliest days of the San Diego brew scene.
Very cool vibe. I was there on a bright sunny day, so the view was gorgeous. Chill pizza place right off the beach. Eclectic decor, a lot of beer related decorations.
House beers were great quality, as were all the guest taps. Great overall beer list. Pizza was really tasty and fresh.
Service was okay, nothing special but nothing negative.
Selection was great. As mentioned, the beer list was awesome in quality. The quantity was there too with a wide assortment of styles. I did a few flights to get a look at the kind of stuff they were making and was impressed.

Stopped there twice in one week while camping just outside of San Clemente. The first time, we had pizza and I had a Swami IPA. Very good experience. The people there were very friendly and the food was solid. It was family friendly and plenty of food to pick from. Same for beer. I had higher expectations for the guest taps but I guess you just have to be there at the right time. Regardless, there was still a lot of beer choices, especially their own. The second trip once again was outstanding. It was in the middle of the week and during the afternoon so it was quite and slow at the time. We ate at the second level and ended up talking to a friendly couple that sat at a table next to us. Overall, it was a very good experience and recommend any family to visit the place for the food and beer.
