What people say
Hillcrest Brewing Company is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for delicious food and handcrafted beer in San Diego. Located next to the iconic Hillcrest Pride Flag, this pub offers a welcoming atmosphere that encourages interaction between guests and the brew master. The pizzas are stone-fired and perfectly orchestrated with fresh toppings and cheeses, while the salads and chicken wings are equally delicious. But what really sets this place apart is their handcrafted beer - with nine micro-brews of their own and 16 all local guest taps, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And don't miss out on "Hoppy Hour" - seven days a week from 4-6pm, featuring $2 draught beer, flights, growlers & wine along with $2 pizza by the slice. With its focus on consistency and taste, Hillcrest Brewing Company has truly reclaimed the essence of a neighborhood gathering place. Open noon on weekends and 4pm weekdays, this restaurant closes at 11pm nightly, with their tap house closing at midnight.
