"A rotating list of 20 local beer taps makes this Sorrento Mesa brewpub a neighborhood favorite, but both the food menu and the cocktail list make it a going-out destination rather than a stop. The Smash or Pass is, as the name suggests, a very “smashable” cocktail — it combines Westward Whiskey with strawberry, lemon, vanilla simple syrup, and mint for a fruity summer refresher. Enjoy it on the patio with the fish tacos to mark the end of the season." - Vox Creative


"This brewery, restaurant, and beer garden from Whisknladle Hospitality is the perfect spot to enjoy soup, salad, burgers, sandwiches, and wood-fired pizza with co-workers. On weekdays, the restaurant is open at 11:30 a.m. , and on weekends they open up an hour earlier for brunch." - Grace Cassidy


"The Sorrento Mesa brewpub restarted with curbside takeout and DoorDash delivery daily from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring weekly menus of favorite entrees, specialty burgers, pizzas, and select entrees, plus wine by the bottle and crowlers of house beer for purchase." - Candice Woo

"I noticed the full-service bar showcases local spirits and a rotating draft selection from Whisknladle Hospitality’s own Gravity Heights, located about a half-mile away." - Keri Bridgwater

"Opening today in Sorrento Mesa, this 12,000-square-foot brewery-restaurant is a large-scale project born from a partnership between Whisknladle Hospitality Inc. and an experienced brewing team led by brewmaster Skip Virgilio, a craft-brewing legend who co-founded AleSmith and created beers including AleSmith X. Aiming to put food, beer, and service on equal footing for the roughly 120,000 tech employees within three miles, the menu from corporate chef/partner Ryan Johnston and executive chef Keith Voight mixes elevated pub fare—burgers, wood-fired pizza, wings, and dirty fries topped with smoked brisket and barbecue sauce—with dishes like French onion soup, whole-roasted branzino, duck liver crostini, and bhel puri. Focusing on direct sales rather than distribution, the brewery will open with four collaboration beers made with local breweries, a handful of guest beers, and 13 house beers including the hoppy Beach Day Kolsch and the SMS Pale Ale from head brewer Tommy Kreamer; Virgilio is particularly excited to reintroduce lesser-seen styles such as the sessionable Brewers’ Best Amber and the German-inspired CTRL-ALT-BIER." - Candice Woo
