Craving an afternoon packed with flavor, friends, and fresh air? Let’s talk about your new favorite spot: Viewpoint Brewing Company. If you’ve ever wanted to press pause on your week and spend hours sipping, laughing, and watching the world roll by, this is where you make that happen.
Welcome to Your Social Playground
Viewpoint Brewing Company, sitting pretty at 2201 San Dieguito Dr, Suite D in Del Mar, isn’t your average beer stop. Picture this: you’re chilling at a big, lively table with your crew, gazing out at the sparkly San Dieguito Lagoon. It’s impossible to have a bad day with these views and this vibe. The wide open indoor-outdoor hangout keeps the fresh air flowing and laughter bouncing around—rain or shine.
Playful Pours and Eclectic Sips
Are you in the mood for a tasting adventure? Take a spin through a flight of house-made beers. Viewpoint’s 20 taps offer everything from juicy, fruit-kissed ales to bold IPAs, crisp lagers, and unique creations that’ll have you rethinking your definition of “favorite beer.”
Ever tried the Hop-Cano Hazy IPA? That’s sunshine in a glass, bursting with pineapple and peach. The Penitent Man West Coast IPA packs a piney punch, while Bari’s Passion Wheat Ale delivers a tropical kiss of passion fruit. There’s even the Moe(saic) American Pale Ale, which goes down easy but sneaks in plenty of character.
Not sure where to start? No pressure—the friendly crew loves pouring samples and sharing stories behind each brew. You can even grab some to-go, so the good times don’t stop if your living room needs a little Del Mar flavor.
Feast Without Fuss: The Menu
Brews this good deserve food that keeps up, and Viewpoint’s kitchen is up for the challenge. Think playful twists on familiar classics—like Fried Chicken Sandwiches that crunch in all the right places, Backyard Burgers served juicy on hearty buns, and a Smoked Gouda Macaroni that tends to disappear almost as fast as you can say “let’s split another.”
Feeling brunchy? Swing by on a weekend morning for eggs Benedict, breakfast hash, or French toast that starts your day with a grin. Not a carnivore? Sink your fork into the kale salad, charred broccoli, or savory flatbreads. Every plate lands fresh, colorful, and ready to share—or not, if you fall in love at first bite.
Dogs, Kids, and All Your Friends Welcome
Planning a playdate for your pup after a sandy trail walk? Viewpoint rolls out the welcome mat for wagging tails. Bowls of water, plenty of patio space, and an easy-going atmosphere mean your dog gets to join the fun (and sniff for snacks under the table).
Bringing your crew with kiddos in tow? No worries—there’s space for everyone. Tables stretch big and small, the energy is upbeat, and the menu offers tasty finds for picky eaters and foodies alike.
Let’s Talk Events: More Reasons to Visit
Make any day a special occasion and check the events calendar for live music, specialty beer releases, or themed parties. There’s always something happening, and it’s the kind of spot where strangers feel like friends before your pint is empty.
Birthday party? Family gathering? Casual company meetup? Viewpoint’s dynamic 7,000-square-foot setup flexes to fit your plans. Reserving a table is a breeze if you’re rolling in with a crowd.
When to Drop In
No need to look at your watch or call ahead; just swing by Tuesday through Friday from 12:00pm to 9:00pm or make it a weekend affair from 10:00am to 9:00pm. Mondays are for prepping to do it all over again—the doors stay closed so the place can gear up for the next round of good times.
Parking, Payment, and Practical Stuff
Parking? Valet is available most days, and the friendly staff will point you in the right direction. Cash, card, or tap—pay your way, no sweat. Just stroll in, grab a seat (or maybe a couch on the patio), and let your shoulders drop a little as that first sip hits.
Bottom Line: This Is Where You Want to Be
So, shoot a text to your favorite people, leash up the dog, and carve out an afternoon for some real-deal Del Mar fun. Viewpoint Brewing Company is pouring good times by the pint, serving food you’ll remember, and giving you more reasons to linger just a little longer each visit.
Ready to make plans? Your next favorite hangout is already waiting. Cheers!
