Large place with pool table and darts. Long bar with lots of new taps, looks great. Huge list, among the best I’ve seen. Good food. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with the samples.

a good bar but overrated. Selection was good,service was good, the beer was bigger than average. The place was a bit snug. Lots of older guys about. The beers did not all taste right, whether its the lines or the age of what was on tap. Bottle selection was decent. A big drop coming from Stone, but different choices and more of a neighbourhood good beer bar.

Appearance is more along the lines of a traditional pub. Nice patio area outside as well. The draft list is always great and the staff is friendly. Prices can be a little on the high side, but typically aren’t too bad. I’ve never eaten here, but the food always looks good.

Cool English style pub and tavern with decent menu with burgers and sandwiches. Tap list was pretty impressive. Large with focus on local beers. Sculpin and Pliny the Elder on tap with special Ballast Point and AleSmith taps. Decent bottle list. Ran through it but didn’t see their own beer Churchills Finest from Lost Abbey next door. Got an AleSmith Decadence 2006 to share for $20. They allowed us to get 4oz tasters of whatever. Appetizer food was pretty good. Homely laid back atmosphere. They even have HP sauce which I havent seen since I was in Australia. Draft list prices were reasonable. $5 for most stuff going up to $8 for Jolly Pumpkin. Staff was very friendly to just straight up hilarious. Very inviting feel. Sweet local dive type of place.

Visited on a Saturday, which also happened to be the day of their Sourfest. Nice place, decent enough parking. Area is split between a bar or pub area and a sit down restaurant area. I did not have the opportunity to try the food (I heard good things, and it looked like typical english style pub fare). Great beers on tap, and a really clean and great looking tap system (I hear it is brand new and quite expensive). Really elegant piece. Bottle list was great too. One server was very quick and the other took her time. Both were attentive though.

Great pub atmosphere. Ideal for any anglophile. Lots of space to relax and play darts and catch a game. Respectable taps and decent grub. A place I would frequent if I lived nearby.

Great little gem here folks. Shit tons of taps. Ivan is a great guy, his staff rules. Now if someone would just hook me up with one of the shirts the employees wear, all would be great. Great spot.

This was our last stop on a fairly hefty day of drinking at Stone and Lost Abbey. Pretty normal bar/restaurant in terms of looks, with an American take on a British bar (i.e. not very British looking). In terms of beer selection is far from normal! On the night we were there they had about 30 taps in comparison to their normal 50, which they apologised for as they had a festival coming up - I was still more than happy. I thought the bottle selection was brilliant - plenty of things we didn’t find anywhere else on our California trips - such as bottles of vintage Decadences for $20 and less. More things on there than I dare mention. Place was more full of locals/non-beer geeks, which is nice for a change. Food was solid and good value. Staff were very friendly and fairly knowledgeable. A top beer destination.

This is why I love ratebeer, you would never know this is such an awesome beer place from the outside. Typical restaurant atmosphere, nothing to take your prom date to. Service was good, I was surprised the waitress knew about the different styles of beers. Huge selection of beers on tap and an even bigger bottle list of all kinds of stuff going back for years. Food was really good, typical English style pub fare with a few different items. Prices seemed pretty good especially some items on the bottle list. Great place, I would go back and try to put a hurt on the bottle list next time.

Several drafts enjoyed here in refuge during the blackout in 2011. Awesome draft selection that rivals most bars, huge bottle selection and a wonderfully friendly staff. A must for anyone in the San Diego area. GO NOW
