Helm's Brewing Co.ocean Beach Brewery Tasting Room

Million dollar views on the top floor! If you don't need wait service (you go to the bar to order) or fancy decor, and you just enjoy good beer on tap at a good price and beach bum bar feel, this place is for you (and me!). Great bartenders, tip well! Decent food... I'm a vegetarian and I was happy - it's spicy though, fyi. My sis enjoyed the burger. And if you can hear the music over the crowd chatter, it's alt rock in the 1990s-2010s era ❤️ And because everyone asks, the restrooms are on the second floor 😉 There are two individual gender-neutral bathrooms, and there can be a line, so plan accordingly.

Great place to grab a drink or two, has a really friendly laid back vibe. I tried a few of the beers on tap and they didn’t disappoint. You have to order before you go to your table, they don’t come to you but that’s not a problem. Be wary the fries are probably some of the saltiest I’ve ever had haha.

I had a birthday get together at OB Brewery and all the staff was so nice and helpful! They set aside a space for us in the gazebo on the patio that has great sunset views. The bartender at the upstairs bar (I think his name was Marty or Arty) was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed and we all had a great time. Thank you so much!:)

This is a nice 3 level brewery that has a nice selection of beers on tap, bottled beer as well as wine. They also have a kitchen that serves up a nice variety of burgers, sammiches and salads. I had a burger and their Mexican lager which were both on point. If you're looking for a place to grab a beer and a bite with the bonus of a great view and friendly service, check this place out. Your 4-legged family members are welcome here.

Got here around 4 or 5pmish. It was slightly dead for a bit, soon it got packed. Perfect for family, friends, pets and couples. We ordered our fish and fries, tacos, and a steak sandwich, plus pale ales that were great. Waitresses brought us our food promptly. Service and friendliness was the superb. Views of the beach and downtown along with the tri level elevator was a plus. Clean restroom and amazing ambient music choices.
