Viewpoint Brewing is a great spot to stop off and enjoy delicious food and beer in the Southern California climate, located across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds and on the river. They also have an amazing selection of house-brewed beers to choose from, as well as sandwiches and salads. The staff is very welcoming and there's no need for you to leave your drinks early.
My family frequently visits Del Mar for soccer games, and Trish S and other Yelp reviews have recommended Viewpoint Brewing to me. We went to Surf Park for a party of eight after the game last Sunday, but they were able to accommodate us in advance. Although we had larger groups, we still got some drinks and good beer.
There are friendly locals who offer excellent food and drinks, as well as an exceptional location with stunning views of the lagoon. Additionally, there is a membership program that seems to be engaging.
