Inside, the Disco Room runs a comedy showcase from 8PM to midnight, presented by Off The BLVD Comedy (https://www.instagram.com/offtheblvdcomedy/) .

And it's BrewDoodle’s 3rd Anniversary Party (https://www.instagram.com/thebrewdoodleparty/) , so the drink and draw goes all night alongside both. Free, all ages, no tickets. Just walk in.

🥈🥈 Make that 37 since 17'.

Our Chocolate Macadamia and Brew for Ukraine Stouts just brought home TWO silver medals from the 2026 San Diego County Craft Brew Competition.

That's medal #5 for the Chocolate Macadamia Stout — the only beer we've had continuously on tap since the day we opened 11 years ago.

Medal #3 for Brew for Ukraine — a beer with bold flavor and a bigger heart supporting humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

From the World Beer Cup, Great American Beer Festival, and U.S. Open Beer Championship to local competitions like the Brewers Cup of California and San Diego County Fair, our medal count since our first competition in 2017:

🥇 13 Gold
🥈 11 Silver
🥉 13 Bronze

Brewed at one tiny 7-barrel brewhouse in San Diego.
