Visited later on a Tuesday evening, and found the place quite easily along San Marcos Blvd. Plenty of parking on the street or in the lot. The interior of the place is a but run down, with the bar to the left and the restaurant seating to the right. The large bar was surrounded by darts on one side, pool table on the other, and table seating scattered about. Tons of great beer on draft, and an impressive bottle selection. They had several lower ABV beers, which I really appreciated. Service was efficient, and in no way friendly. Customers seemed to be on the younger side, and were pretty raucous considering it was a Tuesday. All beers are offered as 4 ounce samples, which is very cool. Overall, I really loved the selection, but wasn’t really comfortable. I think this would have been more fun with a group than flying solo.

Nice selection of beers with great food. i always stop here after Lost Abbey for the food and beer.

I really enjoyed my night in churchill’s pub, they have a great selection of craft beer on tap. I also had the chance to find an italian sour ale, Loverbier brewery, amazing!!!

Very nice pub, when i went there they had very good selection on tap ( also an italian wonderful sour ale not easy to find on tap also in Italy!!!) I took a couple of bottles from their nice list! HIT this spot if u are in zone.

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.

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

Fun place to hang out, went there after tornado, so the bottle list was not comparable, it was good but not great, the food was great.

Best beer bar. Anywhere. Anytime. Don’t care who argues with me. They have 50 taps plus nitro, and they are always filled with anything you could possibly want. I once had lunch there and was able to have PalletteWrecker from Green Flash, Evil Twin, and a the Valdieu Grand Cru. My tab? 16 dollars. Also, for some reason, nobody mentions how good their pub grub is. Great sausage rolls, guineess bbq wings, duck wings on special, fries, and shepards pie. Service is always badass. These guys really really know what they are talking about. Ivan, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure these guys are the same page. Can get busy, but worth waiting for a seat at the bar. I live in north orange county and always make the commute to come down here whenever I can!!

Incredible selection of strong beers, including some you wouldn’t expect to still be available (i.e., Abyss 2008). I wish I’d had time to sample them all.

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.
