San Diego is known for being a go-to destination for craft beer lovers and now with the rise of gastropubs throughout San Diego County, you can enjoy delicious food paired with great craft beer and craft cocktails!
What is a Gastropub you ask? The name is a combination of gastronomy and pub, coined in 1990 by David Eyre and Mike Belben, when they took over The Eagle Pub in Clerkenwell, London. Gastropub’s have become one of the fastest growing restaurant trends, pairing a casual dining experience with an upscale, imaginative, high standard for food.

Old Town Temecula Must Try Restaurants
BierGarden Gastropub Restaurant
641 S. Coast Highway
Encinitas, CA 92024
Originally built in the shape of a T-bone steak in the late 1940’s, this historic building was home to Tyler’s Steakhouse… the floor, ceiling and kitchen hood are all still original! Upon entering you will get a California coastal and local, bier infused cuisine vibe, catering to quality conversation and time with the ones you love. A few things to consider trying while you are there… The Chicken Chilaquiles, one of their Burgers, or something off of their Biggs menu, such as the Bier Cheese Sauce – Crushed Cheeze-Its – Mac N’ Cheese! 32 Bier Tap Handles, one of the best Bloody Mary selections you’ve ever witnessed (you get a 4 oz. Bier shot with every Bloody Mary ordered), and much more… The Bier Garden, is an Encinitas experience you must try!
