"San Diego locations (Lomaland and North Park) are open with limited dine-in service, food order required, along with cans, crowlers, and coffees for pickup. Encinitas is open for to-go orders only, place orders through Toast Tab." - Kelly Bone
"Modern Times in Encinitas is mentioned as a vegan restaurant part of its dining scene." - Candice Woo
"Encinitas sunlight streams into Modern Times’ Far West Lounge. This San Diego based vegan brewery serves the perfect accompaniment to their 30 beers on tap—The Double Burger. Two blackened Beyond Meat patties are stacked with roasted tomatoes, shallot jam, and coconut cheese with a scattering of smoked mushrooms that permeate everything." - Kelly Bone
"In San Diego I saw that Modern Times just opened a new restaurant called the Far West Lounge; it’s their third location serving vegan food after Los Angeles and Portland, and the menu includes chilaquiles, som tum salad, and grilled bratwurst." - Janelle Bitker
"Rolled out over the weekend, The Far West Lounge lands on Highway 101 in downtown Encinitas where the space is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Decked out like a grandma's living room circa the 1970s, the company spent hundreds of hours handcrafting design details that range from felted recreations of TV dinners to knotted macrame plant hangers and a bar facade made from 2,000 dominoes and Modern Times coffee-stained wood. There’s wall of stadium-style seating, a mini mart area that retails beer, coffee, and brewery merch, and a 40-seat, 34-tap bar that will pour Modern Times Beer from all of its brewery locations; a special Hazy IPA, called Totally Open in Encinitas, will be released here soon. Its all-day menu is a concise list of meat-free comfort food, including cheesy potato croquettes, chilaquiles, and a double burger and brat made with Beyond Meat products." - Candice Woo
