Love the pre set flight options. Pair it with the truffle fries . Cute interior with green vines, good for convos.

James White

Probably the best HH in town for beer geeks; $4 flights (4 beers ) and specially priced well portioned appetizers ! It's a neat little spot too by the train station and Little Italy.

Conrad & Jenn R.

Red Tolley ftw! Pretty much anything on cask & the 26th Anniversary barrel aged Belgian strong ale is tasty. Bourbon fans can appreciate

Sarah

The Artisan Melt was one of the most delicious meals I've had in a long time! I was very sick, too... So I honestly didn't feel like eating, but one bite of that and I completely changed my mind.

Jamen Martin

Karl Strauss is known for their beer . After visiting the restaurant they should be one for their food. Ordered the pastrami sandwich and it changed my life.

Happy hour is a fantastic deal $5 food & beer . Always make sure to check out whatever they have new on tap .

Bryan Leniski

Service was excellent. Beer selection was varied but had too many IPA’s. Had guest beers too. I approve of the Mac, pretty solid. I did the pork daddy mac.

Omar Sanchez

Aurora's the best for this summer weather...and chilli fries (sweet potato ) are awsome...If Hungría try its Burger or the ribeye , both are great.

Dominic Rios

Great downtown spot for a small bite and drink. Relatively inexpensive and food is good quality. I recommend the Red Trolley Ale !

Best gastro-pub in SD. A place for people who know and love beer . Food is quite good as well . Pot Roast Sliders were excellent. The wait staff are cute to boot.

Sarah Jo Sautter

Go on Thursdays and get the cask special. Vanilla toast porter was smooth.

Fernando Figueroa

If you want a local brewery you have to try this place. Lot's of good beer and food. Not many other places around it though.

loran jonak

All the Karl's have a great selection of beers they brew. Go on Thursday for cask night . This location does not have hard liquor

Allison Hagen

Tank tap beer is an amazing deal. Fresh from the brewery . Current one (Sept '13) is an 11% Quad that is delicious.

Lena Kidd

Tried Ahi Poke , Ahi Salad and Big Beer Burger . Recommend all. Very very good.

Their signature beer-basted burger is so moist you can almost drink it.

Spicy Hummus was delicious. A very So. Cal. inspired, guacamole-like flavor.

Happy hour beer and snacks are one of the best in town .

The mac & cheese is so filling! And Jeff is the nicest, most efficient bartender ever.

$6 beer flights - Great way to try everything they have on tap

Phil Biedron

Decent happy hour . $5 almost any beer on draft .

Miguel Salcido

The "tenth tap" rotates, so ask about it. Also, the Turkey Bleu burger with their wing sauce for dipping on the side is sublime!
