The Brew Project Rebrands in Hillcrest With CBD Cocktails | Eater San Diego

"The nearly four-year-old bar and restaurant will rebrand as Project Bar & Grill starting Friday, June 1, with a name change meant to put a bigger spotlight on cocktails while retaining its 24 craft beer taps. Co-owners Beau Schmitt and Mike Sill have worked with Nick Adams (George’s at the Cove), Drew Murphy (Quad Ale House), and chef Eliseo Haro (The Deck at Moonshine Flats) to enhance the cocktail and food menus and to implement cosmetic upgrades to the Fifth Avenue space. In addition to a brand-new brunch menu, they’re positioning themselves as an early adopter of the CBD cocktail trend with three CBD Lemonade variations—spiked with vodka, rum, and Fernet—available on tap, each containing 15 mg of CBD from local manufacturer PlusCBD Oil; derived from hemp, it won’t make you high but is promoted to help reduce headaches, hangovers, nausea, inflammation, and stress. Project Bar & Grill also plans to put other cocktails and shots on draft." - Candice Woo

Nestled in the sweet town of Somerville, love how this pub looks. While it still is charming as you walk in, the food disappoints. Service is just okay but the Beer on tap is alright.

The appetizers are pretty good! And of course, as probably mentioned over and over, their espresso martinis are pretty good. Service for food is a bit slow, but keep in mind this isn’t necessarily their specialty, so just be mindful of that and patient. Atmosphere is nice, not too loud if you’re looking for a place to hang with friends and enjoy a conversation.

Must go!!!! For cocktails and atmosphere. Ask Dean to be You bartender - he is a Master!!! Great food options too!

I really appreciate that they have a menu of seasonal cocktails that they change each season. So fun! They also have new food menu items pretty frequently, which makes it fun to return there to see what it new. Sometimes it is a little loud inside the restaurant but they also have outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Would definitely recommend!

My first time coming here and definitely will not be the last! We entered & sat down at the bar. Max was a really attentive bartender, server.. he recommended 2 drinks that were delicious! My friend and I loved everything about this place! We had 2 drinks each, shared 2 appetizers and ended our fantastic time here with dessert! As busy as they were, Max & Rocco kept up with everyone’s needs at the bar. Everything came out on time, was fresh & there was also water at all times. The restroom was clean, I was really impressed with this establishment overall. I’ll definitely be returning here with my husband, what a nice, local, cute place to have in the area!

One of the best meals I've had this year was here. There's a charm about this building that's hard to explain, but easy to love. We had the hummus platter to start. It was perfect. My wife had the brunch burger and I had corned beef hash with eggs and a side of pork belly. We weren't hungry for the rest of the day. I heard the chicken and waffles are the go-to here, and I'm looking at coming back soon after a Fire Yoga session to make sure we can indulge.

Project P.U.B. Is laid back, but you can dress up too! Outdoor seating is always amazing. We love the food and have never had a bad drink. The bartender is always fantastic. Beautiful place great people.

Lovely outdoor dinning spot, highly recommend the Ramen bowl with the pork belly addition. Great selection of brews and staff was attentive.

Still awesome - loving how creative and unique the cocktails are here thanks to Max and Rocco. Definitely the best place to get a drink in Somerville for beer and cocktails with the friendliest bartenders. If you come on Thursdays you can get the special tiki menu instead of the usual cocktails (and normal beer menu). There's also tiki food specials! We tried the tiki pizza and it was thin crust and delicious. Happy hour runs 4-6 pm Wednesday through Saturday and the "Girl Dinner" (Caesar salad and fire for $9) excellent.

Amazing local spot with beyond creative cocktails, exceptional service from the bartenders especially Max and wait staff, kitchen everyone else as well. A couple levels up from just bar food as I look forward to trying all the new items they come up with.

We went here just for a beer. Project PUB is really a nice place to hangout with friends and offers a very good service. They serve a lot of drinks including crafted beers. There are a lot of foods as well in their menu but a bit pricey though.

The drinks here are the best! The bartenders whip up creative cocktails that change often! I've gone here several times for drinks but also for brunch. This may be one of my favorite brunch spots in Somerville -- wish they did brunch on Saturday also and not just Sunday's. They have a mimosa flight which the flavor also rotates based on the season! I have yet to try the watermelon mimosa which I need to! For brunch I love their pancakes as they are so fluffy or the Sunday Sandwich!

Can't speak for the food but can speak for the drinks! Tucked away in what appears to be an old residential house, the ambiance of this place feels just like home and old fashioned. Excellent place to catch up with friends like we did, not too quiet but not too loud. The drinks were 10/10. The bartender was so much fun to chat with and I loved that they had an entire menu dedicated just to espresso martinis. Asked for a spicy drink and was met with a delicious mezcal drink. It's my go to drink and I was not disappointed. Loved it!

I went to Project PUB for the first time on Wednesday evening for a meetup group social. I was very excited because I had passed by and always wanted to try it out. The bar had excellent beer and drink options, although I will say the sour I had might've been a little too sour... I didn't eat anything, but seeing the plates that were served to other patrons, I would definitely be willing to return and try their food, as it all looked scrumptious! Project PUB is a decent size restaurant with a bar on one side and a dining room on the other. There is also a porch with tables and chairs set up. I enjoyed this as it gave my friends and I different settings to move around in, especially when the bar area became too stuffy due to the large amount of people there. Overall, the drinks were pretty good, the food looked great, and the environment was nice. I'll have to do another review when I go back and try the food.

We love this place. Gone for brunch and dinner. Beer and cocktail menus always on point. Food is hipster pub food. It's very good. It's a chill place. Make reservations.

LOVE this place. I am not a local but from sitting at the bar a few times, this is definitely a place that has regulars. That being said I've only sat at the bar, for drinks and shareables. The crispy fish tacos may be the best I've ever had and I've gone back for them a few times. Being that the margherita pizza is not a traditional pizza, it was still very tasty and had a nice lightness about it. As someone who doesn't typically like clams, the clams on fire has an incredible heat to them that masks the actual clam taste and I love dipping the crostini in the sauce. Like I said, I love this place and definitely would be a regular if I lived close by.

I came here for brunch on a Sunday morning. We made reservations before coming in and were seated immediately on the top level upon arrival. The ambiance were casual, rustic, and homey. Mimosa Flight- This came with an orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, and watermelon mimosa. It was a great deal and such a wonderful way to try all the different flavors. We loved the passion fruit mimosa so much that we ended up getting a pitcher of it! Bloody Mary Board- This came with deviled eggs, pickled veggies, shrimp, and toast. It reminded me of a charcuterie board. Loved all the different elements on it but did feel disappointed that it only came with two pieces of shrimp (I was expecting more as it was the first thing listed under the board on the menu). The Benedicts- A solid egg Benedict with a jersey twist. The hash browns were fried perfectly as well. This is perfect if you're looking for a classic brunch item. I enjoyed my time at Project PUB and look forward to visiting again!

Stopped by for the first time last weekend and was pleasantly surprised! I've been a huge fan of tapastre so I was happy to see they are part of the same establishment. There was a beer festival going on but we were able to get some seats. We got cheese fries and the bar pie to share and the pizza is soooo good! I remember ordering multiple when o used to go to tapastre so was really glad they have that. The menu looks great so will be back for a full dinner!

Sat upstairs with a party of 4 for brunch, and we didn't have to wait long. The tiki mimosa was to die for, and was a great change from your classic mimosa. We shared a meat board (breakfast meat that is!) and I had fried chicken Benedict. The food was very fresh.

This was a nice brewery spot that my girlfriend and I stopped at on a Friday night. We sat at a high top table by the bar. The beer menu had a nice selection of craft beers. We ordered a couple of different IPA beers to start the evening. The beers tasted great. I really enjoyed them. We then ordered an order of beer Mac and Cheese, with fried chicken on top. This was delicious and hit the spot. It was a nice portion to share between the two of us. Great tasting Mac and Cheese from this place. This place also had a nice atmosphere and vibe. The staff were great too. Overall, we had a fun time here.

We've been to Project Pub and Tapastre a handful of times and we always enjoy our meals no matter what we get. The salmon sliders are always a staple. The salmon is crispy on the outside, and perfectly pink/juicy on the inside. The lemon aioli really brings these sliders together for a perfect bite. The grilled peach salad was packed with prosciutto and mozzarella pearls but was a little too salty for our taste. Yukon gold potatoes are used for the patatas so they are perfectly creamy on the inside, but we were prefer them to be crispier on the outside. However, the saffron aioli was delicious!! We used it all with the wedges! Our server was very sweet. The restaurant itself is in a cool location that's off of Main Street so you're away from most of the hustle and bustle of downtown which is nice.

This appeared to be an old residence prior to the food establishments taking over. There was one in the basement and another on the main floor. The décor was very old-fashioned and cozy. Regarding the menu, there were mostly small plates, appetizers, and sandwiches with a lot of variety. The food came out in a timely matter as well. For starters, the vegetable dumplings ($9), drunken clams on fire ($11), and jalapeno-raspberry beef kebabs ($10) were ordered. There were 5 vegetable dumplings to an order that came with Asian slaw, and a soy-ginger dipping sauce. These were very crispy, but inconsistent regarding the filling. The sauce was a little too salty. The clams were littleneck clams with crushed red pepper, jalapenos, beer, and tomato broth. These were some of the biggest clams I have ever seen!! There were 9 of them I believe. The sauce had an enjoyable kick and each clam had a jalapeno slice to up that heat. The grilled bread soaked up the light sauce tremendously. The kebabs had a side of roasted red potatoes and an argula-frisee salad. There were 2 skewers with large pieces of beef. The salad and potatoes were a nice complement to the flavor of the beef, which was a nice blend of sweet and spice. The fried chicken tower ($16) and beer mac & cheese ($12) was shared for dinner. The tower consisted of beer battered boneless chicken thighs with coleslaw, and beer mustard on a ciabatta roll. This was another huge dish! The chicken was cooked to perfection and went together nicely with the beer mustard. The duck fries on the side were decent, a little inconsistent in the flavor. The mac & cheese was topped with herb breadcrumbs and had a side of spinach. Unfortunately, the spinach was my favorite part about this dish as it was very flavorful. There were just too many breadcrumbs present and took away from the overall cheese taste for me. Will I go back? I would.

2.5 stars Okay. So. I really, really wanted to enjoy this place. What an awesome concept! I love the idea. I just absolutely hate the food. Also, I didn't get a flight but my boyfriend did and they're $18 - which, like, woah. My boyfriend and I got the vegetable dumplings and the wild mushroom flatbread to share. Both were just...bad. There's no way to dance around it, they were not good. The wild mushroom flatbread was so wet and bland. I added salt and pepper and tried to put some sauce on it from my friends' meal but it wasn't salvageable. The dumplings were super greasy and tasteless. I don't know if I would give it another shot. My friends go frequently and are always raving about it. Unfortunately, my first time was incredibly underwhelming. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

Great pub like food that is upscale while in fun atmosphere. Perfect for a celebratory meal with good drinks whether you're going with friends, family or even just a friend. Would come back again, and service was good! Our waitress took our orders in timely manner, checked in on us every so often without being annoying or disappearing, she also helped one of my friends to help decide on her entree.

My first experience with Project PUB is during COVID-19 and from the start I am impressed with their efforts to provide a safe and sanitary customer experience. There is plenty of outdoor seating, the staff is very cognizant of personal space (social distancing) and are all wearing masks. The beers on tap are very unique and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try them! I'm not sure I would have easily found them in stores or outside their respective breweries. The pizza was also interesting. The crust was crisp and thin like a standard bar pie, but tasted buttery like a biscuit. It actually was quite delicious in conjunction with their excellent cheese and the thin, juicy tomato slices. I also enjoyed the basil/oil lines that added extra flavor.

I just went there last night for dinner with a friend. The food menu has a lot of good options such as their veggie dumplings. I had a chicken sandwich and my friend and I shared the stout brownies, which were delicious. The service was great. The waitress was kind and courteous to my friend and I by checking on us. The ambiance is very cozy and classy. I felt like I was at home but out also at the same time. Looks from the place can be deceiving until you go inside. I definitely would recommend going again.

I met my friend here for happy hour for my first visit to Project Pub. The signage was a little confusing outside, I wasn't actually sure where to go since there's a separate dining and bar entrance. I eventually made my way to the bar and the bartender was pretty indifferent during our interaction while I requested a table. I snagged a high top and waited for my friend, perusing the menu. Upon her arrival, we were able to place drink orders quickly with our server and I ordered a sangria flight. To my surprise and elation, the flight had full-sized glasses, which made the 3/$15 price tag definitely seem worth it. The bartenders definitely had fun with each other, but didn't engage much with any of the customers. We decided to share deviled eggs and patatas, both dishes were delicious and well-seasoned. I would say Project Pub is worth visiting for the drinks and food, but don't expect stellar service.

Good ambiance and drinks, bad service. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation. The place was completely empty and remained empty the whole time we were there abs still they turned people down. There a was 2 bartenders, a guy and a girl. The guy was good, and the girl was just rude. She spent the whole time talking to someone who worked there, gossiping and complaining about customers while we needed to order stuff. When I asked her if they had a pumpkin drink, she told me to look at the menu. The food was also not good. We ordered the crab cakes, the French fries, the Mac and cheese with pork belly and the pork pizza. The Mac and cheese lacked salt, but it did come with asparagus and the asparagus was pretty good. The crab cakes were really really good and the pizza was just ok. The runner would drop of food and leave the dirty plates at the bar, when we asked her to take it, she said she had no more hands. The drinks were good! I ordered two beers and a cocktail, all really good. They have a good selection of drafts and the drink the rude girl made was delicious!!!

I came here for the Somerville Craft and Brew Fest held by Tapastre and Project PUB. This was held right in downtown Somerville on the corner of Main Street and stretched a couple of blocks by the courthouse. I wasn't sure what to expect,but I knew there would be an opportunity to taste and try many one of a kind IPA's and local beers from different breweries all in one place. They had Red and White Sangrias, and bottled water if you weren't into beer, but again it was a Brew Fest. The vibe was very upbeat and hip. The sun was shining bright and beating down with alot of humidity but that didn't stop anyone from having a good time. I was very lucky to get a parking spot right up in front so I didn't have to walk far like, only 10 feet. There was very tight security, big large bouncers in Black uniforms and Somerville police walking around. They were all very nice , including all the vendors and staff. Every single person got proofed including me. This event was very organized. Everyone received a wrist band to enter and a small plastic beer mug to sample different beers for $2 a tasting.. You could also choose to purchase a full size cup for $5. The beer stands and food stands were intertwined one next to the other. This was great , again not a lot of walking. There was even a few vendors selling unique tee-shirts and goods. As I made my way to the different beer tents I noticed they even set up a covered area for people to Paint n Sip. ( You purchase a canvas and an artist walks you through step by step showing you how to paint a simple picture.) You follow along step by step, all the while your drinking libations. I'm not sure what the cost was. There was a Gyro stand, a Mexican stand, selling Street Corn and food. A Burger stand selling burgers and hot dogs, an Empanada stand with four different varieties to choose from. There was even a Polish tent with fresh grilled Sausages, Kielbasa, and bratwurst. The fresh Mimi donuts being served on a stick was a big hit. Right next to the beer and food stands was a huge tent with lots of tables and chairs. This was a nice place to sit and eat and gather with friends. It also provided great coverage from the heat and drizzling rain at times. The sidewalks were open but they were fenced off in the entire Beer Fest area. You entered from Main Street and the far end. There were only a handful of kids. This is definitely an adult Festival. At the far end of the block was a stage set up. I saw a total of 4 different bands play who happened to be very good.. There were high hat tables set up all around. Right next to the stage was giant and I mean giant beer pong game made out of large garbage cans painted bright red like Solo cups and a huge ball for throwing. This was a big hit, everyone really got into it especially since people were drinking and enjoying the music. It was a fun day for all, the weather held for the most part and no one got out of hand. Every year this event gets better and better. This is definitely worth attending...

The good news...the fish tacos were great; the fish was cooked perfectly and the 3 tacos were served with a tasty slaw and mango salsa. The fries were delicious too. The lemonade tasted fresh squeezed and there seemed to be a good beer menu. The bad news...nothing else we ate was very good. The balsamic chicken pizza was just okay- not enough mozzarella and the chicken was really hard and dry. The crispy chicken sandwich was bland and seemed to be missing something. I would not get it again. We liked the building and the outdoor seating. Service was good.

Loved the ambiance of their downstairs area where my friend and I were sat. Almost speakeasy-ish. They were incredibly busy, but the service was still pretty quick. Beer selection was on point and we loved everything we ordered food wise. The salmon sliders were the winner of the evening. Would come back again.

Excellent!!! 3 of us and our dog enjoyed dinner on the porch. We ordered a flight of beer with great selections. All were good , daddy daycare was our favorite. 2 of us had the Mac and cheese and the third had the burger. All were very good. We found this on the"BringFido" app which is very useful when traveling with our dog. Great beer, great food. We will definitely return.

I really dig the month-long brewpub popup concept. They basically feature a different brewery each month and customize their menus along with them to pair. I didn't try any food, but came here for drinks after work. I had the Brotherton IPA, which I liked but still decided to switch it up on one of my rounds to try something different. I ended up not liking what I chose when I did that and the bartender allowed me to trade out the beer I didn't like to another Brotherton IPA free of charge. I really liked sitting out on the patio in the nice weather throwing back a few brewskies. This place is great.

i must say I truly enjoyed our visit here. We came in for dinner and a couple beers after visiting a couple breweries in the area. The building is very cool, the staff was super friendly and incredibly accommodating. I am currently on crutches and it was a beautiful day, the waitress found us a nice corner table on the patio where I could sit back and not worry about tripping someone We ordered the duck fat fries, and the charcuterie board as an appetizer...both wonderful. I ordered the soft shell crab tacos and I was in heaven! The had a great tap list as well, and the food was extremely reasonable for both the quality and quantity we received. I am from Northern NJ and I would definitely make the drive just to have dinner here again. Well done!

The absolute best casual restaurant in Somerville! The cocktails are amazing, the beer selection is plentiful, and the food is tasty and perfect for sharing. Max is an amazing, attentive, and friendly bartender. Definitely a go-to spot for a quick happy hour or a dinner that is casual but also leveled up a bit. Drink menus change with the season, so you just need to keep going back! Oh...and Sunday brunch is a must.... Mimosas, Bloody Mary board, Belgian waffles...there is nothing that disappoints at this restaurant!

Really enjoyed ourselves at project PUB. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating. The duck fat fries are AMAZING. I liked the option of the flights versus committing to a full drink. Lobster tacos were okay but I think I would try something else ! The pickled hot peppers were very good they were served with ricotta, olive tapenade and bread super good! Looking forward to go back !

Great cocktails, decent beer selection, food is only okay. They have a decent brunch but I think it's pretty hard to screw up french toast. The vibes are cool - patio is beautiful and allows for people watching, dining room is cozy and moody, bar in the basement is dingy and divey as a basement bar should be.

We have been several time and its always great. We are not beer drinkers and were very glad to find that the bar always has seasonal cocktails (and we truly appreciate a a well made cocktail!). Must haves: - the slow roasted Pork Belly -p.u.b. Burger - House Chips ....simply are out of this world! - Duck Fat Fries with house smoked ketchup (!) - we also very much like the pickle boards ; ) I would highly recommend you give this local place a try-

This was our second visit to Project PUB. We sat on the covered patio where there were plenty of heat lamps and we felt comfortable. Yet again we were impressed by their great food and great drinks! Love the local options and variety on their beer list. You can get a flight of five if you are having trouble choosing one. Happy to support a local place during these challenging times and looking forward to our next visit! Make sure you make a reservation to be on the safe side!

What a cool and interesting concept where the restaurant hosts different breweries to rotate every month. We were excited to finally make some time to visit on a Wednesday night for dinner and drinks with some friends. We parked in the paid meter spots behind the building of the restaurant (the pay station was a bit hard to find though as it is tucked away!). Parking was limited for a Wednesday but we lucked out as someone happened to be pulling out. We were pleasantly surprised by the experience overall. These are the foods we tried: Beer Flight: Select 5 beers to choose from with nice healthy pours (some beers are extra, larger pours for extra as well). When the flight is delivered to your table, the glasses come hanging in a hook stand and are placed in front of you and the stand is taken away. I though this was fun and different from other places as there is usually some sort of tray underneath left behind. There is a paper given to you to remind you of which beers you selected (since not all restaurants do this, I appreciated getting the reminder). I also ordered a glass of malbec which was tasty as well! Many of the beers were hoppy/IPAs but I did find one that I liked very much, the Galacto, and ordered another full glass. Duck Fat Fries: These were SOOOOO delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; these are my kind of fries. We actually ordered a second round of these at the end of the meal. For $7 a pop I do wish the portion size was a bit bigger. House Chips: Definitely taste house made and fresh. I wouldn't necessarily say that these were anything other than just chips. For $4 its a nice small snack if you are just enjoying a beer and want something to nosh on (see my pics for portion size). Meatballs: These were tasty. I can't remember what exactly they are made with but the waiter mentioned something about bacon making them amazing. I was a bit surprised because the meatballs were a bit pink in the middle. Not sure if it was due to a sauce or seasoning added but regardless, they were moist and tasted good. Pork Belly Beer Mac & Cheese served with Kale: The mac and cheese itself was delicious. We opted to pay the extra $$ for the pork belly but unfortunately the pork belly on this dish was a bit dry. This was weird because the pork belly and polenta was AMAZING. Next time, I would just order the mac and cheese and leave out the pork belly. Pork Belly & Polenta: This was the STAR of the show for me. WOW. The pork belly was crispy and fatty at the same time. The right parts melted in my mouth just right. The polenta is actually polenta CAKES. I tend to prefer creamy polenta without being baked and cut into pieces but, despite this, it worked on this dish. Charcuterie Board: This was probably my 2nd favorite dish of the savories. The price tag seemed steep but when the platter arrived I was satisfied with the selection and quantity that arrived. You get cheeses, meats, fruits, picked things, nuts, etc. I don't think the menu read that there were nuts and my husband has a slight nut allergy. It wasn't a big deal because he was able to eat around it. Beer infused ice creams: these were DELICIOUS. I really enjoyed the fact that they were able to do a sweet application with the beers that they were currently serving. The cookie that we added extra $$ for was disappointing. I was expecting way more but they were hard....very difficult to even break in half. I would not recommend the cookie. Beer ice cream, however, is a definite yes with a nice portion of three scoops. I'll definitely be coming back to try the rotating beer and food menus again! P.S. I was pleased to notice an accessible chair lift on my way around the building so that you can enter the building from the side rather than from the front steps.

Love at first sip! Not too familiar with Jersey, but I really love what I am discovering and Project P.U.B. is a new reason for me embrace what Jersey is putting down in the craft beer and gastropub scene. I went during a Riverhorse takeover and what an awesome day to go. The takeover consisted of new one of kind brews along with seasonals and the tried and true. They also had some really phenomenal pairings! Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable; design, layout and ambience made me feel like I was in DuPont Circle D.C. --- the place transported me to somewhere else, and that's pretty rad. You need to try their grilled Octopus, holy cow! Or rather holy Puss?? Lol --- the hot olives and nuts are superb ---- these guys really put a lot of Attention to detail. On top of it all, the customers / crowd is nice, not douchey or annoying. TWO THUMBS UP!!!

I usually come here just for the food. They have stock dishes on their menu such as the poor belly and polenta, which is amazing!! And other dishes that are switched out when the pub changes its beer menu. So far, I've never been disappointed by a food order! As for the beers, they can be a hit or miss. If you don't come early enough when the beers are tapped, you run out of options as the beer sells out fast. The bar room is big enough to hang out but the bar service can be slow sometimes. The indoor dining area is spacious but not for large groups. (Unless you can manage to score the big table in the middle) and the outdoor dining is peaceful on a nice night.

Brunch was amazing. I highly recommend the Bloody Mary Board!! The atmosphere is lovely and the Edison lights really add the place.

A good place to take friends if you want them to think you're cool, without having to leave the comforts and proximity of central jersey. Its a solid vibe, not casual but not quite upscale either, somewhere between brewery and speakeasy (although I realize that's quite a range)... especially with it residing in a residential looking home. Its a great concept - rotating crafts beers & menu selections - although I'm glad some of the favorites like duck fat fries and mac & cheese you can get anytime. At our last visit, they were featuring Carton from Atlantic Highlands. We found our drinks - Boat Beer and the "I-dont-usually-like-stouts-but-I-love-this-one" - and enjoyed them & each other's company for the night.

Food is pretty decent. It's hard to get a reservations sometimes. Not many gluten free options but they helped recommend some for me.
