Thoughts on pizza port brew pub?

Went there while on vacation before the Port Strong Ale Fest a couple weeks ago. Could easily spend an entire weekend there

 

Great family friendly brewpub with killer house and guest beers and solid slices. I hit the OB location a couple times a month.

 

I liked the one in Solana Beach that I tried a few years ago. Both the pizza and beer were very good.

 

i really like going here the pizza is great as well as the beer selection
the beer they brew is top notch and they always have lot of variety of guest brews
the only negative is there tasters are 1oz and cost a lot i would definitely just stay away from
asking for any taste there or purchasing a taste so you can try something

 

Poormans DIPA. BEAutiful beer.

 

Going there as a BA'er? Ignore yelp. Hell, ignore it most of the time for pretty much any craft beer place.

PP san clemente was always good to me, and the festivals at Carlsbad were always lots of fun. People that complain in online reviews probably weren't there for the beer anyway.

 

I was going to ask the same question. I have never seen bad reviews here. Who looks at yelp anyway?

 

I have only been to the Carlsbad location, but it's awesome in my opinion.

 

Yeah, been to the Carlbard one about a half dozen times. Great food, friendly service, excellent rotating beers, house and guest. Can get crowded at times, but that just means they do a lot right. As for the bad Yelp reviews, sadly, far too many people only go on Yelp to complain. I try to take note of a bad review, if its the only one that person ever wrote, since then to me, it's probably an isolated incident, bad day, odd circumstance, or un-realistic expectations, etc.

Also, OP, since you mention the San Clemente one, they have 4 stars on Yelp, after 206 reviews. That's a great average to have with that many reviews, considering some, inevitable at nearly any business, will be a 1 star.

 

If you are like me and enjoy great beer and have a child, it does not get better than Pizza Port. My only complaint is that there isn't one in Santa Cruz (Where I think one would fit in great and rake it in if management is reading).

 

Exactly why I love Pizza Port. I usually grab two pints, have some dinner, walk to the beach with my daughter, play around and leave. It's great. Usually frequent the OB location once or more a month.

Oh, and if you don't like seeing kids there, us dads (and moms) usually leave around 8 pm anyway.

Pizza is very good imo. Beers are very good. Growler fills are very high in $$.

 

I mentioned Poormans above, but left out my favorite Ale of this year's Boonville Beer Fest, Pants Optional Pale Ale. I must of went back eight or nine times for more of that beaut. Highlight of the festival, especially in that 90+ degree weather.
