Karl Strauss Brewery & Grill Review

Brewmaster Karl Strauss put San Diego on the microbrewery map with this attractive factory setting, now all but engulfed by the adjacent W Hotel. The smell of hops and malt wafts throughout, and the stainless-steel tanks are visible from the bar. Brews on tap range from pale ale to special seasonal releases. Five-ounce samplers are $1.75 each (or six for $6.95); if you like what you taste, 12-ounce glasses, pints, and hefty schooners stand chilled and ready. Nonalcoholic beer and wine are available by the glass. The menu goes well beyond basic bar food, including items like chili-lime sweet potato fries, a healthy selection of salads, and beer-brined pork chops. Beer-related memorabilia and brewery tours are available. Other locations include La Jolla, 1044 Wall St. (tel. 858/551-2739), and Carlsbad, 5801 Armada Dr. (tel. 760/431-2739).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
