Half Door Brewing Co.

First visit 2/11/20 (San Diego, CA)

Vibe: Nice laid back vibe, set in a large two floor house. Patrons and bartenders friendly. 4.25

Quality: Ordered two full pours of a West Coast IPA and a Nitro Irish stout and both were very good, in the 3.75-4.0 range. 4.0

Service: Staff at the brewery friendly, engaging, knowledgeable. Prompt, friendly service, friendly to locals and tourists like myself. 4.5

Selection: Only had two pours here, but was pleased with my selections and would explore their menu further next visit. Full service bar and restaurant, though I stock with the two beers. 3.75

Food: NA - I did not eat but they have a full restaurant menu.

Overall: This was a good stop I enjoyed both for the brewery selections and interactions with staff and guests. Recommend and hope to return. 4.25

 

 

Interesting little place right by the stadium. We stopped there for a beer before a Padres game. They were busy, but attentive. We sat at the bar, had a little conversation with the staff. The beers I had were all right. We didn't try any food. Not really a destination as far as I can tell for beer, but a good place to stop if you're looking for a beer near the stadium.

 

What an incredible establishment! Great location, cool design and layout, amazing menu. Beer options are solid and the cocktails are delicious. Can’t beat the location.

 

 

 

Nice old fashion building. I love the door knobs for beer taps. The beer selection offers over ten taps.

The bar was rented for the night for an association I belong to. There were a couple of hot banquet offerings. They were slightly different and pretty good flavor.

The service was good for the event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This place feels more like a bar than a restaurant, but they do pour their own and other it in flights. Located blocks from Petco Park with an inviting porch, it definitely caters to Padres fans and out-of-towners in for a visit. I can't say I loved the beers I had there, but the bartender was helpful an courteous and Half Door was a more than inviting place to kill a happy hour.

 

 

 

Old converted house in downtown with porch/ patio seating. L-shaped bar seats about 15... additional seat around. 16 beers on tap, half theirs, half local guests... nice mix. Friendly local vibe. Good service. Very tasty food.

 

Nice chill place, staff was really nice and helpful offered samples of their house stuff which was
really good, The house IPA was nice. Had a old hotel bar saloon feel. will revisit for sure.

Stopped by here last Monday night to try some beers. Very laid back place with upper and lower porches and bar, table and coach seating. Bar tender was very nice and offered samples right away. You can do a flight of 3-6 beers and they had everything from a wide range of styles. Everything I had was very good and most were pretty true to style. The food looked good, but as we had already eaten we did not get a chance to try it.

 

 

 

 

Tucked away in an old house near Petco. Loved the food, the beer was average at best. Their NE IPA wasn't very good, but their dark beers were worth the pour. I might go back, it's not a bad choice but in San Diego there's a lot of better places.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a fantastic discovery on our first day in San Diego. Knowledgeable staff with put being snobby. Wonderful setting in a old Victorian house. Many of the beers were unfiltered yummy ness. Good selection of local Honda too.
