10 Best Breweries in Eastlake

"This brewery specializing in San Diego-style lagers and ales has great service, great food, and of course, great beer. The taproom is large (there’s even balcony seating) and unlike many San Diego breweries, the decor feels upscale, not industrial. Maybe because of that — and because of the welcoming atmosphere — the mix of people tends to be eclectic."

"When you come to this brewery, you’re not just getting a tasting room — you’re also getting an incredible beer garden that you’ll want to stay in all afternoon. Established in 1989, this beer brewing company exemplifies the Southern California lifestyle with its refreshing brews and laid-back atmosphere. It’s also credited as being one of the first breweries to kick off the craft beer scene in San Diego."

"Opening in 2012, Societe Brewing Company quickly made a name for itself by winning West Coaster’s Best Brewery award in 2014 and 2016. Its picture-perfect IPAs like The Pupil, one of BeerAdvocate’s top beers, and The Coachman, a 2015 gold medal-winning session IPA at the Great American Beer Festival, that stoke the engine of this San Diego brewery. Most recently, we were stoked on Societe’s new collab with Pizza Port Brewing Co."

"Many locals will tell you that this place is known for brewing some choice IPAs. And it’s probably their attention to detail and dedication to consistency that makes their brews so good. This brewery has a fully equipped tasting room and brewery tours, and will even fill up a growler for you to take home."

The original Dark Horse Coffee Roasters is on Adams Avenue in Normal Heights and they now have two other San Diego locations in North Park and Golden Hill. Dark Horse may be the coolest, hipster coffee spot in San Diego with their casual, industrial-inspired design and laid-back local feel."

"Dark Horse is a super-popular coffee shop in San Diego and definitely deserves the praise. With tons of freshly roasted, non-gmo coffee bags to choose from, talented baristas, and a well rounded brand, they know exactly how to do coffee. The South Park location has a cute pavilion that is very comfortable and great for enjoying San Diego’s warm weather!"
