This establishment strikes a great balance between your average bar and pure beer geekery. Great ambiance, pool table, arrangement. Selection does not disappoint - not only do they have quality Euro brews and the locals but RARE or one-off local beers in addition. Food and bottle selection are of similar quality to the taps and service.

Hammy’s is my SoCal home away from home. Both the crowd and staff here are hands down the friendliest craft beer fans I’ve met anywhere in my travels. Love the movies they always have playing here. Tap selection is eye popping, IPA heaven for certain, and plenty of variety of other styles are represented. Bottles cover the rest. A world class beer bar for certain. Hope to darken it’s door again soon.

Great place in South Park! We go frequently after work for happy hour to play shuffleboard and pool and have great beer and food. They have thousands of taps on the ceilings and the dimly lit pub is a perfect place to relax. Great rotation selection of beer on tap and bottles too. One warning is that it will get busy later on in the evening, especially on weekends.

One of West Coaster World Headquarters’ home bars. Big tap selection and lots of cool events including the amazing second saturdays. A worthy San Diego beer bar and a jewel in the Blair’s crowns. The kind of place to just hang out on a random night and drink some great beers with no bullshit.

We visited twice during our stay in SD. The bar itself is fairly standard neighborhood bar and doesn’t really physically stand out. It was busy on both of our visits (very busy for the Younger release, not surprisingly). The selection was awesome including nice offerings from Alesmith, RR, Green Flash, etc. We spent several hours here both times. The atmosphere was fun and crowd seemed friendly. We even played shuffleboard. The staff was great. I will be back.

Great little establishment literally in the middle of a neighborhood. Great tap and bottle selection...thought it was like Papago and started pulling bottles out of the fridge when I was told they only have a license for drinking on premises. I know, a bit embarrassing. Kind of dark inside but the decor was nice.

Great little neighborhood establishment. Good beer selection. BEWARE the raspberry jam and pepper hamburger! I enjoy spicy food and this thing almost killed me. After an hour of trying to pull myself together I pulled back the bun to reveal a ridiculous amount of fully seeded serranos! Lessen here: Always check under the bun before inserting in mouth.

Loved this place! We were visiting from AZ. We went on 2nd Sat in December. They had many releases from Ale Smith. The selection and price for these beers were incredible!! Not only did we get to meet Blair/his wife and others that are ver involved, but they also made food for that day and it was free and delicious. The Ale Smith beer for this event was also ridiculously priced in a GOOD way.... more than enough of it’s value and more. They were nice enough to spend time to chat with us and also welcome us to an event the next week, but we could not make it. Anyhow, I highly recommend this place to anyone and I will 100% be going again as soon as I get to CA.

This was the last place my brother and I visited this past week on Tuesday night. I’m glad we did. We almost didn’t go as we were getting burnt out on everything beer.

Its a darkly lit bar tap handles hanging from the ceiling with christmas lights illuminating the place from above. Pretty cool. Selection was some of the best taps and bottle list in the area. Service was top notch. The bartenders were all very knowledgeable about beer and were happy to share some with you. Food was good. If you cook hops into your food how could it not be good?

Overall we had great conversation with the bartenders and locals at the bar, great food, top notch service, and a great time. I would come back here in an instant. This was one of my favorites while here.
