Shocker... yet another location of Stone Brewing delivering a very enjoyable and satisfying experience. Beers, (ability to order) sandwiches, good people, great service, outdoor space, San Diego weather... what else is needed in life? Carly was holding it down on the inside area, and I do not recall the name of the guy that was primarily serving my liquids but he was very chill and welcoming. I believe this is the fourth Stone location that Ive been to, and this Kettner location serves as a next-of-kin to the other locations Ive visited. Its a very nice spot to take in the rays while sitting in the outdoor area that was constructed like a done-up backyard with lots of seating (if you have friends, and even if you dont).Ordering was extremely efficient, idiot-proof, and prompt. I cannot say enough good things about my time guzzling Stone nectar after nectar after nectar after nectar at this location. The actual location and setup was solid, but the thing that really makes it thrive are the people working there. These are people that give off vibes that one could just hang with them, kick back, relax, drink Stone, and trade war stories from the Battle of Awesomeness. Thanks for the reminder of what I am missing from when I lived in San Diego. For now, Im just a vacationer (the kind without Ken Vasoli).

Great atmosphere inside and out! Availability to order online with tab or go inside. Beer options were great, but no food. They do allow you to order from neighboring businesses and eat there. Options like Thai, Poke and sandwiches available.

Triple IPA delicious at 6,4 dolars 10oz, there’s several kind of beer but this is mu favourite and well known beer! The attendance Caroline was friendly and charming great place to hanging out!!

Nice find! This cozy location is tucked into a very mini mall of sorts. It has a great seating area indoors with comfy couches or venture outside to the beer garden for some fresh San Diego air. There are good food options from nearby restaurants including a sandwich shop and a Thai place. QR codes are at the brewery seating areas for convenience. The beers are phenomenal…a reason for Stone’s global recognition. They are especially good at IPAs.

While in San Diego recently I visited quite a few breweries and bars. This tap room was one of the ones that would come back to. The staff were very good, with service and knowledge about the beers. The seating area was sprawled over inside and outside areas, so no problem finding somewhere to settle in for a few drinks. The beer that I had was very good. I did not try the food though. I would come back here for sure.

Well know for its wide range of beers is an excellent option to hangout or chill out with good company. They dont have food or snacks here but theres a Thai place inside the same building and youre allowed to place orders from the Thai place and they will bring your order to your table.The options to drink are multiple and for sure youll find what youre looking for. Also what youre not looking for and if youre adventurous and willing to explore fantasy and not regular flavours, this is the place for you. Blondes, IPAs, Stouts, Ales, youll find it here. The service is really good and at this location and thanks to the Thai place you can enjoy of a delicious bite with your beer. Im the massaman curry lamb, one of the plates Ive had coming from the Thai place. Another one I recommend and tried today is the Tom Ka noodles. Really delicious.

Great selection, I felt like a mini Bistro Gardens, beautiful spot!

Nice tap room. No frills, outside patio. Great for just before or after the train!

Excellent brews! Nice atmosphere, friendly servers. 10/10. Will return next time Im in San Diego.

Great addition to the Stone Brewing family. Excellent tap room within easy walking distance from Santa Fe station.Fantastic range of beers, which means a taster flight is a must.Staff friendly and helpful too

We like this spot due to its location. Tucked right next to the Santa Fe depot, downtown San Diego, its a quick drive from anywhere in the city. The hubby also likes to pick up a crowler or two on the way home from work. Big dog friendly patio makes this one of the best Stone locations in the city.

Super chill and inviting Bier Garden! Alexander and Courtney were super hospitable. Great downtown escape, cant wait to try the thai place next door.

This was a decent little tap room, with a small indoor space and a decent sized patio area. Really enjoyed all the beers, Stone really has really dialed in their recipes. No food, only beers, and I wouldn’t recommend coming her with kids due to limited space. Good for groups, and they have board games and a hook/ring game that keeps you around for a while. Recommended if you’re in the downtown area.

My girlfriend and I stopped in for a beer the other night, didn’t catch the servers name but they were extremely attentive and nice, and displayed exceptional kindness to a man in need. Beer was 10/10

Stopped in here on my way out of an exhibition at the museum. It’s a super cozy bar. There’s a great patio with fire pits. Still too cold on a chilly night so we sat inside. The bar has a great selection of tap beers. Bartenders are super nice. Many of the beers were on sale. Would definitely hang out here again.

Stone beer next to the train station... Dangerous!I have never met a bartender here I did not learn from or enjoy talking with. They have a lot of beers to choose from whether you want a light pilner or a heavy stout youll find something to like. The patio outside is open yet cozy with heaters and fire pits. They do have games available inside.You can purchase your beer to go; in a bottle or can which I highly recommend.TIP: Set an alarm for your Transit time or you may end up drinking for long than intended.

🍻

A fun place to visit with very helpful staff

A MUST GO in SD!

Stone has a solid array of IPAs to choose from. However my favorite was a Mexican chocolate stout that tasted like dark chocolate. The venue is unique and inviting with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Definitely worth a pop in if you are a beer aficionado.

I think this is officially the last Stone location I had to visit. Im not quite as cool as all the other ones but its very small and quaint and very welcoming. The beers are delicious as always.

Honestly highly disappointed. The ordering system SEEMS convenient BUT literally had people just run food at random times. Appetizers came out after our main courses, even though they were ordered before anything else. No manager to be seen, no servers. Mosquitos flying over everyones heads. I killed 3 by just clapping once. Food was mediocre. The ahi appetizer was good and the mac n cheese. Thats what the one star is for. We asked help so we could better understand the app and the worker we asked was useless. Basically told me to figure it out. Sooo definitely wouldnt recommend if youre looking to dine out with service.

Really good experience, will come back very soon.

As usual the selection of beer and ales was extensive and tasty. The knowledge of the staff about the beers was complete and helpful in my selection of a growler fill!

Nice place to sit outside and enjoy a beer.

Great little venue with wonderful staff and selection as you would expect from Stone.

Great beer and great space.

A hidden diamond liken to the speakeasies. A must homage for Stone fans like myself. Hard to choose a flight (or a single beer) with about 2 dozen Stone beers on tap. Comfy with no frills. Time to chill, you arrogant bastard!

Great place to grab a quick drink or cans to-go when catching the train. Half pints and tasters are available. Nice selection of West coast-style IPAs.

Beautiful respite in the city, great beer. Absolute home run

The ordering system is very slick, you use your phone to view the menu, order and pay.

This place is incredible. Stone Brewing makes outstanding craft beer and this is where to go to try any of their offerings. Very beautiful patio/outdoor area. They sell brandned merchandise inside the store. Located next the Santa are depot trolley station.

Friendly staff. Good beer

Cool bartenders, tons of seating and great beer options! Best spot in the area for a brewery stop for sure.

I really like Stones beer. This place is good and the service is promptly.

Great patio and indoor space with a friendly community vibe. They have board games and other bar games available for patrons to use. I got a half-pint of their Chocolate and Strawberries Stout (pictured). I appreciate that you can choose the size of either pint, half pint, or taster. -1 star for just having mostly IPAs, which my husband and I arent a huge fan of.

This is the perfect hidden drinking place. Quiet, nicely appointed and full of delicious beer. I highly recommend nipping down to the pub for a pint. It is hard to find a better place to enjoy a calibelgique from Stone.

Every time I go to San Diego I try and stop here, great beer and a super relaxing spot.

Awesome staff, awesome beer and nice stony porch.

Fantastic vibe, and beers.

Love having this place across the street from my workplace! Easy and convenient (I recommend walking, though there are a few parking garages and decent street parking available) but once you’re here, make sure you check out the beautiful stone garden (get it, Stone brewing?) to relax in with a fire and delicious brew. 10/10! Cheers!

Great spot, the beer was great...and using the app to order made it uber fast.Will do again!

Beer servers made the experience a good time. Great place to unwind and relax as you sip on some crafts. Definitely pickup a flight; prices are solid for the selection and quality.

Walked here from my hotel down the road. I got two flights so I tried 8 beers I hadn’t had before. Love their stuff and the atmosphere here. Can’t wait to come back on my next trip through San Diego.

This Stone Tap Room is great! Not only do they have excellent beer, the beertenders are personable, knowledgeable, and truly want you to enjoy your experience. The place is very accessible via multiple modes of transport, the inside is cozy and welcoming, and the patio is comfortable and relaxing. The Thai spot next door has great happy hour specials and they get food trucks occasionally as well. If its your first time, get a flight for variety, ask questions and enjoy. You will be treated right! 😀

Very nice ambience

Great location

Great location fantastic beers. Cant wait until reopening and can enjoy setting .

You dont have to drive to Escondido or even head over to Liberty Station to get your Stone fix. Neat little space downtown with a comfortable space outside with large patio chairs and a fire table. Definitely a fun place to unwind at the end of the day or if you need to escape from the middle of the city on a weekend afternoon.

The terasse was amazing and the selection is very generous. Trying out beers before is also a thing and very useful

Super low-key setting with outstanding brew 👊

Awesome staff, sorry Amazing staff and a highly enjoyable atmosphere! This is such a great place. Will be coming back often! Thanks for the fantastic first experience!!!

Located right next to Amtrak/Trolley station in downtown San Diego, two blocks from cruise terminal. Enjoyed the Stone Enjoy By chocolate & coffee IPA (9.4%). Has an amber color but tons of flavor, worthy of a deeper color brew. 8oz serving (no pints).The Bourbon Barrel-Aged Arrogant B*stard (8.1%) was also very good. They have flights and store. Great selection & service. Enjoyable visit, will be back. No food.

Staff was great, nice in door and out door space to enjoy their large choices of fantastic beers. If you find yourself in the area stop by, you won’t be disappointed

All around hard worker and super friendly Michael made our visit wonderful.

Great ales and good Mexican and Thai food

Nice place to try San Diegos iconic Stone beers after a visit to the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art Downtown. Pleasant garden seating plus indoor seating, too. Lots of beers on tap.

Great Service

Best selection of special release beer, awesome patio, great beer servers. Will always go back for more. Dog friendly and kid friendly.

An overdose of IPAs just like seemingly everyone else around here but they did have a nice Kolsch. Nice guys at the bar, one gave me a recommendation for Eppig Brewing to find some nice lagers and it worked out great the next day.

Fantastic tap room. Got lucky with a few limited release stouts when we visited that blew us out of the water. Service was great and their patio with table top fires was a awesome place to hang out.

Great staff! A good variaty of beers to choose from. The staff was very friendly to recomend tasters for me and I bought some great tasting take aways on my way out.^^Go for the custom made take aways!

Yummy beer. Chill vibe. And right next to Santa Fe Station.

Very big selection of beers on tap. Great outdoor area for hanging out with friends!

One of our go to places for beer downtown. The location is right behind Santa Fe Station, its easily accessible. Im not a a huge fan of IPAs, but theres a variety of beers sold in 4 oz tasters, pints and growlers, so theres something for everyone. Theres no food on site, but they allow you to bring food in and theyll even pair your food and brew, which is pretty cool. The environment is what keeps us coming back. Its got an almost cottage vibe to it, with by deep deck chairs, and fire pits. The best part for us is that its also dog friendly, so well often stop in for a taster on our nightly walk. Always a good time.

Patio with fire pits was the best part for me. Stone Delicious IPA 7.7% lived up to its name.

Pretty low key, nice place. The fire pit on the patio is nice to sit around while sharing a few beers.

Great selection of beer! Awesome patio.

This tasting room carries a bigger selection on non-standard beers than any other location (including the original brewery). Great stuff.

Amazingly knowledgeable and helpful staff. Even with the swarm of ComiCon guests, servers and manager were extremely attentive.

Great spot to grab a beer if early for a train at the next door depot.

Awesome collection of beers from Stone. Great service and friendly barkeeps.

Great place with a cozy patio. Grab a beer and Stone Brewing swag while waiting for the train.

Very knowledgeable staff that like to talk about the beers and how they are made and what particular tastes they feature.

Absolutely the best best place in San Diego. Please dont tell anyone

They have a nice out door seating area, 4 oz pours for $1.50, and very knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Very chill spot to get off the beaten downtown path, never crowded for the most part, yummy beers and boardgames to keep you sharp.

Decent place with lots of outdoor seating but not enough shade.

Amazing selection, great scenery and awesome Thai place next door...hard to miss 5 stars! Cheers...

Great beers, attentive and friendly bartenders with a stellar patio space.

I’m a huge fan of Stone, have been for 15+ years, but was not impressed with this location, even after multiple visits.Built along the same design as the Oceanside store with the large stones, large firepit, repurposed barrel chairs, it too is secluded.It’s not that it’s hidden, but it’s not advertised aside from some small signs. The store front is actually at the back of the patio or via the lobby (coded if your entering after hours since it’s shared with private housing)What got me was how dark it was. I’m all for a rustic, industrial feel, but I’m talking about how everything gets washed out with the natural light countering insufficient indoor lighting. Flouro or halogen aren’t good options, but this is straight up lumen deficiency. This would work great for a wine bar, but it’s seriously not how you sell merchandise, let alone beer (yes very different demo’s than wine).Prices are in line with other locations and other breweries. They are stepping up their game on collabo’s and seasonals, but dropped the ball in changing their main beers this deep into the game (ruination). How can you change a recipe after 10 years?Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They are also good at explaining the asinine carry out rules in this part of town.No food like all other satellite locations, but friendly to bringing in your own, places do delivery too. It’s right next to the train station, but a generic addition to a brand on the rise.

Had an awesome retirement party for a best friend! 👍

Hard to find but worth it. Amazing stone beer as expected in a low key atmosphere.

Great selection of beers. Relaxed atmosphere

Always amazing!

Small space for getting a few drinks or a growler fill. The out door space is large and spacious.

So many great beers and a nice quiet patio!

Crew was great, loved the lounge chairs, beer was excellent

Friendly staff with a good choice and good value.

Nines on the board if you dont get it dont come here....this place is a special one

Good beer. The rudeness and condescension of the bartenders was off putting

Great beer and fun branded merchandise.

Great beer and a great location!

Great chill place to visit for tasters .

Sexy

Love me some Stone beer.

Went in just now..empty and denied service because even tho they close in 40 mins from now...seemed racist as well

Great selections of Stone Brewing beers

Coolernhell

Awesome place to have a beer on tap!!!
