Half Door Brewing

We stopped by Half Door while brewery hopping. I really enjoyed Half Door Brewing. The decor is awesome. Such a cool spot and unique layout.Our server was very attentive. We each ordered a beer and the pretzel bites to share. The pretzel bites you could tell are definitely made in house. They were different than a standard pretzel bite but very good. The whole food menu looks great.I would definitely return if I'm ever in the area again!

What an absolute gem!! Was in town for a conference and Half Door was highly recommended by a friend who visits San Diego often. The beer was fantastic. My favorite was the sour, it completely blew my mind and my palate! We decided to let the waiter choose our flights for us and it was such a fun and surprising choice. He hit the nail on the head! It's a cute little spot, it was a Sunday night so it was not crowded at all. We had a charcuterie board, I had some soup of the day which was a veggie soup and it was delicious. Everything felt like comfort; the food, the beer, the environment. It is a permanent stop for me now!

My friends and I wanted to enjoy the amazing weather, so we were on the search of an outdoor rooftop bar around the Gaslamp District. Unfortunately there were none open around 4pm on a weekday, but one of my friends remembered that Half Door Brewing Company (HDBC) had a great upstairs, outdoor deck. We got to HDBC around 4:15pm and requested to sit outside on the 2nd floor. Can't beat the vibe and scenic views of downtown, including Petco Park. It was exactly what we were looking for. We made it in time for happy hour, and we certainly took advantage of the happy hour food and well cocktails. The food was good. We ordered the pretzel bites, truffle fries, and mac and cheese. The pretzel bites were the best of the 3, and they were quite unique. They were like pretzel biscuits with a soft, doughy crumb. The dipping cheese and mustard were excellent. Lastly, service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and our food and drinks came out in a timely manner.

On a Tuesday, I visited this brewery with a friend and his son. Since there wasn't a Padres game, we were fortunate to find plenty of available tables. The place is packed during game day. The staff greeted us promptly and seated us on the second-floor patio, as we requested. We were told it's a mixture of brewery and an Irish pub. They have first floor and second floor seating area. Throughout our visit, the service was excellent, and our server checked in on us frequently. I enjoyed their Hoban House IPA--a refreshing choice. We also ordered a cheeseburger with fries for my friend's son, and the fries were both fresh and delicious. I'll definitely return, especially since it's conveniently close to my workplace.

Awesome bar by the Padres stadium! After a long day at a conference, my colleagues and I made our way to get some drinks, appetizers, and bit of food. It's an old style house that's been refurbished with great bar seating indoor with classy architecture and quaint outdoor seating. We sat on their terrace top and had great vibes with sun, breeze, and the city view. Our server, Dominic, was awesome with lots of energy and attention to our dining experience. We started off with pretzel bites, and they were salted to perfection. My colleagues just got drinks but I was starving for some solid food. I ordered a medium rare goat cheese burger, and I was so happy with the portion size. Great flavors of goat cheese, delicious meat, onion jam, and garlic aioli. So massive that I had to cut the burger in half. Very filling and I would definitely order again. Loved the experience of this place, and I definitely recommend that you too as well!

Half Door Brewing is a home run when it comes to being close to Petco Park! I mean, where else can you sip on a refreshing drink while being just a hop, skip, and a jump away from catching a ball game? And let me tell you, their selection of brews is as vast as the outfield at Petco.But the real MVP here is the truffle burger. It's like hitting a grand slam with every bite! The combination of juicy beef, decadent truffle aioli, and perfectly melted cheese is a taste sensation that will have you cheering like you just won the World Series.So next time you're in the mood for some great beer, delicious food, and a side of baseball, head on over to Half Door Brewing. You'll feel like a winner, even if the Padres strike out.

This was one of my favorite breweries while visiting the San Diego area! I loved the building and decorations. It had really nice laid back vibes (and they had great music playing). We visited during the early afternoon on a weekday so it was nearly empty. We sat on the second floor, near the outdoor seating. I got the Media Puerta and would get this again. We also shared an order of pretzel bites. The pretzel bites were really good and I would describe them as almost small bread buns. They were very soft and buttery. I would return!

Our recent trip did not disappoint! Afternoon lunch on the upstairs patio! Great food and really enjoyed our server Steve! Goat cheese burger, Fish n Chips, and local beer is always a great choice! The slaw was great! Not creamy at all.

This is a nice brewery that is not smack dab in the middle of the craziness. There are two levels and the upstairs is a lot quieter and gives a view of the downstairs bar. You can also sit out on the deck and people watch or enjoy the view. Give it a try and you will enjoy yourself.

This place was alright. My friend really talked up the food and ambiance, but I didn't find it to be anything special. I would not recommend the mezcal marg, the flavor profile was a weird mix. The fried goat cheese was unique and delicious, and the flatbread was decent, but I wasn't a huge fan of the HDBC salad and ended up tossing most of it. The place was dead on a home game night for the Padres, so service was fast. Overall, it was meh. I'd rather try somewhere new than revisit.
