Coronado Brewing Company

A high quality brewery serving excellent beers. Large range of beer styles in tap with a focus on IPAs. Beers to go in cans and crowlers. The usual swag for sale, plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, bar seating is limited. Parking can be an issue, friendly fast service.

We dropped in for a quick lunch with Grandchildren and their parents. Our server was “Abby” and she was very personable, providing us with a nice dining experience with a matching atmosphere.

Friendly service. Great beer and even better food. I've tired 80% of the menu, and i have not had anything bad yet. Try the Brewhouse burger or the ribs always great. They get your choice of temperature of burger spot on. They are also known for their pizza. Great salads and their tacos are yummy. You can't go wrong.

Been here a few times. Everytime we've dined, it's ALWAYS been great! Great service. Clean facilities. The waitresses are really knowledgeable about all the choices to eat & drink. We enjoyed it! Highly recommend. We had the Seared Ahi Tacos and burgers. 👏👍

Beers were great. The food was good as well. We had the burger and salmon. Our service was amazing as well. The only thing I woild say is it looked more like a restaurant then a brewery. But I didn't give them less stars for that. We arrived around 530 and didn't have to wait for a table. We were seated immediately

I’m honestly very surprised at this restaurant! The food is really good! The drinks are very yummy and they have a little bit of everything if you’re into sweet drinks or more bitter, you will be able to find something on the menu. The place is really big and spacious. It gets very very hot in there though 😓 so if you run hot make sure to bring layers.

Lovely restaurant with great beer and food. Ive had a lot of their beer over the years, so to finally visit the location in person was exciting. Would highly recommend of you are into craft beer and great food

The building was so cool and we enjoyed the atmosphere. I ordered the buffalo tenders as my main dish and they were great! Not too much breading and the chicken was tender. My husband had the ahi tuna tacos and he said they were flavorful and nice portion size.

I already came here twice. First time, I got the fish and chips. Second time, I had their pub burger. The fish was just okay. It was dry and not fresh and tastes like something they probably get from their distributor. The fries had a seasoning mix I liked, but the texture was mediocre. On the other hand, I thought the burger was really good, so that's what I should've ordered the first time instead of listening to their 20% off recommendation. The bun was thick and hearty, with a very slightly crisp to it. The meat had great flavor, and the veggies were nice as well. Overall, somewhat better than the burger I had at Nicky Rottens. The vibes here were also better, and this is taking into account that I tend to like quiet places. Nicky Rottens is clearly losing business to this joint, so I should prefer the ambience there. But in addition to simply being quieter, something about the open seating and lighting makes it feel disconcerting rather than relaxing. Look at me reviewing a different restaurant in the review of one restaurant. Lol

This place feels more fun each time I visit! I like to go early in the day when there is no wait for tables. The staff is outstanding and the menu is really pretty great. This time I shared nachos & french fries with my friend. We sampled some of the beer options and challenged each other to learn more about hoppy taste in different IPA's. Last time we enjoyed cheeseburgers and fries, and that was so good I wanted to come back again! Looking forward to my next visit. Will be enjoying my souvenir glass at home!

Stopped in for a quick drink and cool off before heading on ferry. Get the orange street wit. Delicious esp if you like citrus summer brews. I'm unrefined I like blue moon, summer shandy, mango cart, lost coast etc. so this is my wheelhouse

This review is just regarding the bar and the drinks. I did not try any of the food. The bar can be a lively atmosphere with strangers talking to one another and the service is excellent. Their beers, ciders, and seltzers can be mixed and matched which was interesting. So there is something for everyone. I liked the fruity cedar and the orange seltzer.

Been to this place a number of times but haven't written up a review until now. We were celebrating the retirement of the LT and promotion of a coworker. Our group of at least 15 people were seated immediately and the service was friendly and patient (especially with the large group we had). Festivities started and we placed our orders. I had the Islander Ahi Poke (ahi Tuna, poke marinade, with cucumber and avocado over seaweed slaw with Wasabi aioli, micro greens and wonton crisps). Washed down with a Cool Beans Coffee Stout. A very tasty lunch

Walked in at 11am to a pretty good size amount of staff and patrons. Bar was full. We were sat immediately by a smiling woman. Our waitress was quick to get our beer order, weekend vibes and salty crew blonde. Food is Grilled fish tacos and Fried fish tacos with side salad and tots. Both were delicious, beer is good as well . The location is right on the strip with plenty of seating.

Came here during happy hour and got discounts on the beers and appetizers! Great location on Coronado. Service was quick. Beers were refreshing and tasty! The big pretzel was great. I liked the buffalo chicken tenders too. Got to watch a little of the padres game on the TVs there. Tons of seating. They have cool merchandise too. Recommend!

We had a nice time at this brewery last night. Can't believe we forgot to take a photo of the beer flight we had, but we had the following: Razzle Dazzle, Weekend Vibes, Nado and the Nado Dark. All we recommend. The Razzle Dazzle was a raspberry sour, but it wasn't overly harsh (not too sour). Highly recommend. Our server was great, the food came out quick. We shared the Nachos Borrachos which had carnitas and this amazing jalapeño beer cheese! It was divine!! It was topped with sliced pickled vegetables! So damn good!!

Went in shortly after opening. Service was excellent, food was great. Cannot wait to visit again.

Always a great time here. The food is delicious, the ambiance is comfortable, cozy, and laid back, and the service is great! I ordered my burger without the bun because I'm gluten free and they were willing to accommodate!

We visited here on a Saturday afternoon after showing my fiancé's parents around. Though it was crowded, we got seated right away for a party of five. The restaurant is located about a 5-10 minute walk from the ferry which isn't that bad. The food we got was really good and the portions were great as well. I got the chicken pesto flatbread pizza and my fiance got the Spanglish fries. My fiancé's family got the fish tacos and the burger (not photo'd). The only downfall were the flies. The flies seemed to really love our table. They kept surrounding us, landing on our cups and near our food.

We stopped in here for dinner on a Friday night. It was definitely busy and there was a wait, but we it went fast and took the time they predicted. We enjoyed the food and beers, everything was tasty. The main issue was the service. It took quite a long time for our server to come to the table at the start and it was sporadic throughout with a lot of waiting. It is nice they have a kids menu and vegan options. There is a lot of seating and it has a nice atmosphere, plus the location is great. We would come here again. Pros: *Location *Yummy food and beer *Variety Cons: *Slow service *Can be busy

Meh, tourist trap, low quality over priced food. Tried the chip nachos and fish tacos. not so great.

Had a great experience popping in here for a late lunch/early dinner on a Tuesday. Very cute decor, reggae in the afternoon (thought it seemed to switch to a different genre at 4:30). We all picked various tacos since it was Taco Tuesday and everyone enjoyed them. My favorite was the crispy fish--nice light batter. We shared some fries that were wonderful, thin & crispy. Good beer. Our server was friendly & prompt, we thought she did a great job. Great beer!

Beers were great. The food was good as well. We had the burger and salmon. Our service was amazing as well. The only thing I woild say is it looked more like a restaurant then a brewery. But I didn't give them less stars for that. We arrived around 530 and didn't have to wait for a table. We were seated immediately

Great spot. Great choice of beers, something for everyone. The menu had plenty of choices. For an appetizer we the artichoke/spiach dip. For dinner, the hamburger and fish tacos, all were great. Our server was friendly, attentive and timely. Look forward to the next time here!

Great atmosphere with several TV's throughout playing the game. Service was good and food came out fast. The grilled Wahoo tacos were flavorful and not lacking in the size of the fish.

I've had the fish tacos and salmon plate this far and I really like everything ate here. The salmon was especially tasty, just wish it was a bit bigger! Coronado brews are all generally solid as well. It's usually easy to get a table with good service.

Overall great experience at the Coronado Brewing Company. Arrived at around 6pm on a Thursday evening and although the bar area (front) had a decent crowd, the tabled rear area was fairly empty. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A decent selection of food and beer...everything was reasonably priced. Beer was fresh. The food was good-very good. Would love to return and try some other food items. Great environment. Street parking available along Orange Avenue...we didn't have a problem finding a space at that time.

Coronado Brewing is a series of breweries I have been wanting to try for a considerable amount of time from my list. I am very glad to have at last tried it but the wit beer that we had was just fair. Steve and I love wit beers and that might have made us a little bit picky with them. The wit beer we had was the Orange Ave. Wit. Flavor highlights with this beer are fruitiness, citrusy and sweet. It is also a very light bodied and smooth beer which we almost always can appreciate. This wit was okay but Steve and I felt it wasn't the most memorable for this type of beer which is why I gave the score I did.

I am so thankful for this place. It is my first week on the ship, and it is not the most comfortable. Thankfully, this is a place where I can sit down and enjoy the game with some fresh ingredients, some good buffalo wings, and some good brew. I'm super thankful for Kaila, who helped me pick out a sour that was so good! The raspberry was wonderful. And she helped me pick out the best stuff on the menu, and I was not disappointed. It was so nice to have a place where I could both reflect and journal and be artsy, and be a bro at the same time.

This is our favorite place to eat in Coronado. The menu has lots of options, there are craft beers, and the setting and service are wonderful! It also doesn't break the bank and is a bit further away from where the crowds gather. It can get crowded on its own, no surprise it's a popular place. But the beauty of it is that it's a nice walk from the main hustle in the drag. It's also a short walk to the ferry landing and water. You can sit outside, or in a booth and open the shutters to get that outside vibe. There is a fireplace too for the couple months of the year it is cold here. Almost every time I have gone in they gave me just the seat I was hoping for. When they don't and I ask nicely for a different one, they are always super nice and easy about it. We went for a light dinner and we both opted for fish tacos. I had the wahoo tacos, my wife has the ahi. With entrees you can pick side salad, fries or tots. I opted for the salad, she got the tots extra crispy. The salad is a nice size and it had great toppings. They have a big selection of dressings, I usually get the basil because it is so darn tasty. They know how to do extra crispy, and the tots had a perfect crunch to them. The tacos are full of goodness with large pieces of fish, fresh crunchy cabbage and their sauces. Both came with a flavorful side of salsa. If you like a lively brewery visit on a summer weekend or dinner on a fun holiday. Otherwise, an everyday lunch or dinner is easy for seating, either right away or a short wait. The parking is easy too, if driving is your transportation of choice. You may park a block away at most, but the blocks are short and the weather is great! I highly suggest a walk down Orange Ave though, it's a nice way to end any meal.

We live in downtown San Diego, every so often we like to take the ferry to Coronado and take a walk across the island to the beach, stopping for lunch on the way. This time we choose Coronado Brewing. The location is terrific, it looks like a sports bar when you go in, and the staff was friendly. I ordered Cajun Tacos and they were 'meh. They weren't bad, they were just 'fine'. There was very little seasoning, I didn't expect much because we knew we were going into a sports bar/brew pub but it still didn't live up to the name. It should just be called 'grillled shrimp'. They'd still be 'meh, but at least it would be appropriately named. The hubs ordered their special, which was a Bratwurst Burger. He said it was really good. I am super bummed that I couldn't get it but I'm allergic to egg and a burger in a lettuce wrap just isn't the same (there's just something about the burger juices that get absorbed into the bun - and with a BRAT, I can't imagine how yummy that'd be). His burger came with waffle fries and I ordered tots as a side to mine. Both items were good, although I do feel like if you offer a couple of different kinds of tacos that chips/guac or dip should be offered. Or maybe that's just me? Our waiter was SO nice and good about answering questions, which I always have with my egg allergy. We'd definitely go again. Likely I'd just get a burger wrapped in lettuce, because I DO miss a good burger.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a frickin heartbeat!!! Trevor was hands down one of the best servers I've ever had!!! From the start, he suggested a drink that matched my taste perfectly and it ended up being delicious. He was so patient and kind, never rushing us even when we were taking our time. He reassured us that there was no pressure, and made us feel genuinely welcome. One of the most thoughtful moments was when another waiter had a wrong beer pour, and Trevor kindly offered it to us.... such a simple but generous gesture!! But the part that truly stood out to me and will forever have me coming back and recommending this place .... Was when he checked our IDs for our drinks, he noticed in his own (without saying anything to me at the time) that it was my birthday this week, because at the end of the meal he surprised me with a birthday treat. That honestly meant so much. You just don't come across people like that anymore. We love Trevor!!! His kindness, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness made this experience unforgettable. 100000/10 recommend this place for him specifically!

Great location on Coronado Island. We had a shrimp special that was delicious, the waiter was attentive and I loved the fireplaces and overall vibe. Great place!

Went in for dinner, a few drinks and to watch a soccer game. The chicken tenders were delicious, as was the pretzel (two types of mustard - both great). The grapefruit sea salt seltzer was refreshing, a half pint was sufficient for me. The ginger beer I was slightly disappointed in - it had a water down quality, instead of the really punchy ginger flavor I expected. Still good, just not quite what I wanted. The person I was with said all the beers they tried were even better on tap than from cans. Well spaced, large restaurant. Staff was all friendly and helpful. Our server didn't rush our ordering, especially since we said we'd be there the whole game, but was around to bring the next round or dish when we needed.

This is awesome. Food is always great, service is spot on, and they have BEER . Plus, it's on Coronado. Looking for a new spot, give them a try.

I'm a member of the mug club here and this place is the best! Great food, (the ahi sandwich is amazing), great beer and the service is always top notch. We always swing by when we visit Coronado, which is like once a month!

We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who was accurate with her estimated 20-25 wait for a table. We were then seated quickly and had a friendly waiter. My sister got the strawberry watermelon hard cider & seared ahi tuna sandwich. She said both were excellent. I got the baby back ribs and they were happy to subside the fries & coleslaw for steamed vegetables. They were a little slow to get us some water, but overall a very nice experience.

Great vibe, great service Dropped by walking around in San Diego. I wanted to grab some local beer to bring back to the hotel. I went in, and the staff was super nice and friendly, sat me down right at the bar and gave me some taste testers before we picked out a growler to fill up and bring back to my hotel. I went with the Red, which was a great choice and it was super tasty. There were a few that stood out and I would definitely sit down and get a flight with my meal if I go back. Couldn't recommend enough trying out this place if you are interested in sampling the local beers.

OK, let me start off with, food was fantastic and the beer always good. For some reason, maybe because they were busy tonight... The service was meh. Yes, we had seven people in our party and yes, they were fairly busy for a Wednesday night. All that considered, gave our server no excuse for being rude to one of our party and delivering everybody's food except for one in our party who had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for his. When we repeatedly ask what was going on the server stated maybe you should learn how to run a restaurant. Not the best showing. Overall, I normally give this place 4 to 5 stars. And I would probably do so in the future. The food is always good. The only catch is they're often times very busy and parking is hard to find other than this experience. I've always had a good experience at this place.

Tim provides great bar service. The man knows his pours and pairings. Give Tim some love when you're there

Service was fine yet food ( ribs and seafood tacos) quality was not as good as previously.

Great service by Andre! We tried the Hibiscus Blonde and the Riptide Red and loved both.

Service was amazing and food came in fast- had a beer and it was refreshing- the wood fire pizza is amazing- highly recommend the Mediterranean Pizza- flavorful and delicious - afterwards went with a flight of beer- perfect pairing with the pizza

The food was your average bar food but the beer was great. The place has a great atmosphere!

When in Rome! My husband and I stopped in here for some drinks. I was pretty impressed with their beer selections, and if it were cooler outside I would've opted for some darker beers. The Orange Ave Whit was so so good! I love heavy yeast beers and this was it. I wish we got this beer in South Texas. Definitely a place to checkout for a drink- they have half pours if you're not in a heavy drinking mood. The restaurant is also open air, so you still get a nice breeze without being on the small patio.

Had a great lunch here! I got the ahi poke as an entree and it came with plenty of chips! My hubby got the Mahi mahi fish tacos and said they were solid. We both had the hard ginger beer and it was pretty tasty! Service was decent for a brewpub. The ambiance was very cozy too. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food! Perfect for lunch. cozy ambiance and quick service, did not try any of their beers but others said they were great. Would definitely recommend!"

Not too far a walk from the ferry to get here. We walked here from the ferry, but it does look like parking is somewhat limited. Obviously it's very easy to get here on foot. The outside of the restaurant is super cute- the foliage is well taken care of, and it's easy to find. Their logo is adorable - a mermaid holding a beer! We got seated immediately for two people on a Friday evening. The service was good - quick, effective, though not super warm. I thought the beers were decent! There was a lot of choices. I had the salty crew, a blonde ale, which was refreshing. I don't remember the others in my flight. My boyfriend had a wonderful hibiscus ale that was juicy and crisp! I got a Cali turkeyburger which was pretty decent! Juicy, with fresh veggies, and a nice soft bun. They also had cute merch at the front- dog toys, stickers, some t shirts/tanks, pins, bottle openers, etc. love the mermaid logo!

You can never go wrong with eating at Coronado brewing. Drink some of San Diego's best brew here. The food stands out as well. Surprisingly enjoyed the meat lovers flat bread pizza the most! Hot chicken tenders were good, not great. The chicken was slightly over cooked and a bit chewy, but I loved the hot sauce. It was vinegar-y with a mild spicy kick. Kids fish and chips was the perfect meal for our little one. She enjoyed the soft and freshness of the fish. Service was good even especially with how busy it was. Ambiance is loud. There were a lot of flies flying around us and our food even though we ate inside :( fortunately they left a laminated drink menu at our table and I used it to show the flies away. Other than that - I love this place!

Food: street tacos, bbq pizza, kids cheeseburger & ahi taco were all fairly good. Our waiter made a slight bit of an error whilst taking our order but it's only human to make mistakes. All went well, the food was great with the exception that the kitchen served my ahi tuna raw as opposed to rare in one taco which was definitely a surprise to bite into it and feel the gummy flesh texture. The other taco was bomb though so I wasn't upset as the kitchen wouldn't be able to tell if they seared it fast. I have a gluten allergy and told our waiter of such he ensured that what I ordered did not contain gluten. It didn't I went an entire day without any stomach issues. He was attentive and checked on our table often. We tipped over 25% Ambiance: the place was crowded and overpacked so is a popular spot. The wait time is always less than they indicate. The design of being indoors but open ceiling gaps & shutters for windows is nice. It was not nice to drink from a cup and see hard water residue that you could wipe off with your finger caked onto the inside of the cup where the liquid you drink is touching. A white vinegar rag should be kept with whoever is in charge of dishes because that was nasty. 5 out of 6 cups on the table were like that. Overall I would recommend this place just be certain you inspect your utensils/ drink ware.

This is a fabulous restaurant on Coronado Island! The fish tacos were some of the best I've ever had. Service was fast and the waiter did great with keeping our drinks filled. Can't wait to visit again.

Cool vibe location with indoor and outdoor seating. Limited bar seating but some patrons stand and watch the sports on the numerous large screen TV's. Go at happy hour beer/wines are discounted and pub specials are 25% off. I had the pub special of fish & chips. Lots of flavor and plenty of food. On this visit the hostess was fantastic engaging and very accommodating. My server didn't rush me to eat in order to turnover the table. This location is kid friendly with a good selection of kid meals.

TLDR: Great selection of beer, friendly servers and pretty setting close to the water front in Coronado Coronado brewing came in highly recommended by our friends while we were visiting San Diego. The Coronado island waterfront makes for a wonderful evening walk by the river before or after enjoying a nice selection of beers at Coronado Brewing. The food was good and had a good selections of beer to adress different beer preferences. This gets busy on weekends so just be aware that their might be wait times.

I was immediately greeted with tons of pets and immediately upon being seating a cold bowl of water arrived which was very refreshing on this summer day! this is a favorite stop on our way to Coronado Dog Beach. sitting on the Patio watching dogs and humans stroll by was very fun for me. will drag the humans here again for sure!

Fantastic food at what honestly felt like a really good value considering the prices of some eateries closer to the southern side of Coronado Island (and the Del). The pizza was certainly the standout and food came out fast! Looking forward to our next visit so we can eat here again.

Very good food very good service and the beers always good, they were busy but they fit you in quickly and we had a great meal.
