About

Established July 1, 2016 as the first microbrewery on Newport Avenue, Ocean Beach Brewery occupies a three-story Newport Ave building with the rooftop deck designed to be the highest occupied point in OB. House taps include the B.Right.On flagship, a West Coast IPA, a Pilsner, and a Hefeweizen, brewed on-site and rotated alongside guest taps from collaborating local breweries — a brewpub-with-rooftop format distinct from the dive-bar floor plan two doors down at Catalina Lounge. The second floor combines casual tasting with a shuffleboard-and-foosball game area and a Newport-Ave-facing balcony, while the rooftop deck offers panoramic views of the OB Pier, the Sunset Cliffs hillside, and the La Jolla shoreline. For groups assembling a multi-stop OB beer-and-seafood circuit, the brewery sits a short corridor walk from Blue Water Seafood Ocean Beach on Voltaire — a walkable pairing the rooftop's view-and-pints draw makes common. The rooftop's panoramic-view event capacity makes the third floor the highest-elevation private-buyout space in OB, accommodating wedding parties, milestone celebrations, and large-group craft-beer tastings.
