Ale Tales Taproom and Kitchen — Restaurant in San Diego

Came here back in December, returned again on another trip to San Diego now.

A very relaxing place to hang out with friends and enjoy a few beers or wine on tap. They have an extensive draft beer selection and also a large fridge of to go options on the side. Love that the to go options are available in single cans so you can mix and match.

They offer flights here, so both times I’ve gotten a flight of IPA and sours. Delicious options and good range. We ordered a hard seltzer today and it was more smoothie like, very surprising in a good way.

Friends got the wings and said it tasted a bit over seasoned unfortunately, but it smelled amazing. To be fair, there’s many finger food options as well as burger and salad options.

Outdoor seating available and dog friendly environment with water bowls for the dogs.

Highly applaud the service here. Friendly and helpful, it’s always a pleasure to walk in and not scary at all to ask questions. Would come back again if...

After an exhausting day of moving into our new building, my amazing friend and I decided to treat ourselves with a much-needed breather—and stumbled into a delightful surprise: it was Monday Happy Hour at Ale Tales Taproom and Kitchen!

We ordered the Chicken Strips and Fries, Garlic Honey Chicken Wings, a beer (wish I remembered which one my friend chose!), and I opted for a bottled root beer. Let me just say—the food was top notch. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot after a long day. The Garlic Honey Wings especially stood out—perfectly crispy with just the right balance of sweet and savory.

The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it the ideal spot to unwind. We didn’t plan it, but this happy hour turned out to be the perfect end to a chaotic day. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great bites, chill vibes and genuinely...

You're buggin if you love craft beer and craft eats and won't come here.. like it's unreal. Some beers run a pretty penny but it's beyond worth it. Staff makes you feel at home, kitchen is always running and have never had a bad experience here ever. Owners are very involved and theirs always something cool going on. You can't come in here and not spend money because theirs 3 walkin coolers organized with a bunch of crazy craft beer to-go! They do special full course meals at least once every 2 weeks that you can pre order.. yes full course. They offer Mug Club membership and also have a full wine rack for sale of some cool stuff. ALSO ALSO ALSO DOGGY FRIENDLY. Review sounds biased I'm sure but I rarely go out of my way to submit reviews and I'm telling you as a dude that drinks beer all over on a regular... this is a joint you gotta...
