Hit it during happy hour. The BA stout was out. :( Got 3 new beers - one not on the site! Staff was very accommodating. Made change so I could feed the meter (25 cents/hr). The happy hour menu was a good value, and the food was indescribably delicious. Service was way over the usual I see in brewpubs. Cannot recommend this place too strongly. Building has a metal roof and louvers instead of glass for windows. Great venue. 15 beers on tap.

Nice brewpub in Coronado. A touch upscale but it is Coronado so it kind of goes with the territory, I was there on a Monday at Lunchtime and it was not that busy. The service was good. The food was also good. Their beers are pretty much solid BJCP Standard beers. The mild I had today was very drinkable and went well with my grilled ahi sandwich. I would come here again.

Located in a very quaint, upper tier part of town with a nice view of the San Diego skyline across the bay. Although very spacious, the place was packed and we sat at the bar. It’s a very long, nice bar. Even though they were very busy, both bartenders were very attentive. Lots of ceiling fans and Visio plasma tvs with really nice pictures. All the tvs were near the bar and the Padres game was on all the sets. Parking was very limited.

My wife and I arrived here about 10 minutes after it opened on a Friday mid-morning after paying a visit to the historic Del Coronado Hotel. We parked just off of Orange Ave. and walked up Orange to get to the brewpub. What a cute, clean area. We stopped to say hi to a snow white, long haired Tom cat named Sam. He was just chillin’ on the sidewalk. Coronado Brewing’s storefront is very attractive--brick with a hanging wooden sign, brass lettering above, with an adjacent painted Coronado emblem. The inside is very nice with wood everywhere. Brew kettles and fermenters are visible behind the bar. The service was pleasant, accommodating, and friendly. In fact, Ron Chapman, the CEO and co-founder had observed me taking notes on all the beers I was trying. He came over to introduce himself and tell me a little about the history of the brewery and his excitement about the craft brew explosion in San Diego. Coronado was among a handful of craft brewers in the San Diego area before anyone even really knew what "craft beer" meant. Flights are available. I won’t review the beers here, I’ve done that for each individual one I tried. Suffice it to say that Coronado has positioned itself solidly in one of the most competitive, growing artisan beer markets in the world. I was very impressed. I can’t wait to go back. This time for some lunch or dinner in addition to a few pints.

A pretty cool spot. I liked the craftsman details in the architecture. The food was decent, as was the beer. Plus, this place isn’t far from a decent beach with good parking. I’ll be back again.

Took the whole family here for lunch. Really enjoyed the food. A nice place for kids and adults as well. The beer wasn’t bad at all, lots to choose from. I will have to come back and try a few more.

Nice atmoshphere with very friendly staff. House brews are ok but rarely do they have anything else. Food is pretty good. Happy hour has good deals on beer/food so if you are in Coronado, this is a nice place to stop by.

This is a good place for family. Good atmosphere and not too loud. It also boasts a good selection of their own brews of which the Islander IPA is my favorite. It is a good IPA and very standard. You won’t find anything too out of the ordinary, but combined with all factors considered, this is a good place to be. The best way to get there is by bicycle either over the bridge or around through Chula Vista.

This is a popular place. On July 3rd we had to wait at least 45 min. for a table while the other joints on the strip were half full. We were lucky to get a parking spot just one block away. While waiting, I bought one of their T-shirts. Also at the Deli next door I got a nice Scottish Imp. Stout to take home. Our waiter was friendly and brought the beer sampler right away. Later he brought the 3 remaining Coronado beers that they had on tap. The Philly cheese steak was good.

Arrived before opening time, but were invited in inspite. And had a really good chat, about the beers and the history. Early in the day, parking was plenty. Situated in a nice area. We had 6 new beers - that we hadn’t earlier had bottled. Interior is your brewpub in the better end with stone floor and dark wooden bar, with some of the brewery visible.
