Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Old Town

Arrived here at 11:30 and they weren’t serving their full lunch menu yet; just breakfast and salad/pizzas from their lunch menu. The ricotta pancakes were very delicious. The ricotta had a bit of pineapple in it, but it’s served on the side so it works for those who might not like pineapples. We also ordered the Barbara pizza with Italian sausage, which was very tasty. The meat omelette was pretty big, plenty of meat inside, and topped with bolognese sauce. The layout of the shop is unique and they have a nice little grocery with some wine and Italian food items.

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

This was our fourth or fifth time dining at this Gravity Heights. Was excellent once again. Our server, Max (second time he was our services staff) is GREAT! The manager, Alex, visited our table more than once. Greatly appreciated. Lovely restaurant for a casual meal. The Mission Valley site has rapidly become our go to restaurants for a casual meal and relaxation.

My family and I had a great time and experience. The hostess was very friendly and engaging while we were walking to our table. The server took the time to explain the special menu and was very attentive to our table and other's tables throughout the evening. Overall, the food was delicious complimented with a great staff and weather.

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
