Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Mission Beach

A Hidden Gem of Craft Beer and Culinary Delight: Stone Brewing Bistro, Point Loma From the moment we stepped into Stone Brewing Bistro in Point Loma, the experience was seamless. The staff was attentive and welcoming, guiding us smoothly from check-in to seating, ensuring we never felt like we were waiting. Thanks to our OpenTable reservation, we were quickly accommodated, setting the stage for an evening of great food, drinks, and ambiance. Before heading to our table, I made a quick stop at the restroom, which turned out to be an unexpectedly cool design feature of the restaurant. Instead of traditional mirrors above the sinks, the setup allowed both men and women to wash their hands facing each other, separated by just the right amount of privacy. It was a unique and stylish touch—just one of many small details that made Stone Brewing Bistro stand out. The Atmosphere: Cozy, Intimate, and Thoughtfully Designed We had the option of outdoor seating with heaters, but we opted for an indoor table, where we were greeted by oversized chairs and a generously sized table just for the two of us. The ambiance struck the perfect balance—warm lighting, well-spaced tables, and just the right volume of background chatter to create an intimate setting without feeling isolated. Unlike the overwhelming, novel-length menus at places like Cheesecake Factory, Stone Brewing Bistro kept it simple, focused, and inviting. Drinks: Craft Beer, Custom Flights & “High-Octane” Cocktails Naturally, we dove right into the drink menu. One of the highlights was the ability to customize a four-flight tasting of 5oz pours, making it easy to explore different styles of Stone’s legendary brews. Every selection was bold, well-crafted, and full of character—a true reflection of Stone’s expertise in brewing. For those looking for something beyond beer, they also offered wine and “high-octane” brews, which mimicked the flavors and essence of tequila-based cocktails without requiring a liquor licen

The jerk chicken wings are the best! Also love the island salad with its yummy chimichurri dressing. Coconut margarita is my favorite drink. All the servers are fantastic too!

I love seeing the water here and the food was very good. It was a little dark a light at the table would have been nice. But overall experience was worth it. The seared scallops were so bombbbb

I booked a table for lunch as part of our staff development retreat, and I was so pleased that the PB Alehouse staff was so accommodating in seating us quickly and allowing us to move to a new table when the sun was in our eyes. We enjoyed our food, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful meal with an ocean view! Thanks, PB Alehouse, for enhancing our staff retreat! -The Staff at Christ Lutheran Church, PB
