East Village Brewing Company — Restaurant in San Diego

One of the best breweries to visit while your in town or seeing a game at Petco Park!

They are a local brewery that brews and sells everything on site. The beer going into your glass literally comes from the massive storage tank behind the bar. As fresh as it can get!

The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and always down to talk about the brews if you want to learn more.

EDITED 5/19/25: What are the odds we’d meet Aaron’s partner Brandon’s parents at a brewery in Grants, New Mexico. I heard his mom say my son owns a brewery in San Diego. We’ve been to A BUNCH of San Diego breweries. I said “which brewery?” When she said East Village we remembered distinctly our great conversation with Aaron. What a small world! And now I hear they DO brew the same beer twice now. 🤣 We’ll see you next trip to SD and hope to also meet Brandon.

Great experience! Owner, Aaron, so nice. Great recommendations. Great beer! It’s so cool that they don’t brew the same beer twice! The...
