Tucked into the San Jacinto Mountains, Idyllwild has long been a haven for artists and outdoor adventurers. The Idyllwild Brewpub, highlighted by Thrillist and the Press-Enterprise, stands out for its craft beers and farm-to-table menu, served in an airy, wood-paneled space overlooking Strawberry Creek. Independent and locally owned, the brewpub often hosts live music and showcases the creative pulse of this mountain town. It’s the kind of place where locals and visitors mingle after a forest hike or gallery stroll.
