"Bolt Brewery is La Mesa’s first local brewery. With all beer manufactured on-site, they constantly are pushing their creative, tasty brews to the locals. The outdoor biergarten is pleasantly laid out and great for big groups or just simply grabbing a pint with a couple friends. One can usually find some sort of event going on there whether it be the hilarious “Trivia Night” or a performance from a local band. Great place to enjoy San Diego weather and good beer." - Caava Design

Went here for the first time a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a really nice spot to have a great beer and relax. I had the blueberry sour and it's definitely in my top 5 sours I've ever had. There's plenty of seating and it's dog friendly!

Came here on a weekend afternoon to try some beers. There are picnic tables outside and they had a Mexican food cart in front of the brewery. This is a nice brewery tucked away in La Mesa. Unfortunately I didn’t care too much for the beer selection that they had, there was nothing that really well with me, but I really enjoyed the location and the staff were very friendly. I will pop in another time when the tops rotate to try out some more beers.

Our server was great, she was very friendly and welcoming. I would suggest that she write orders down, I had asked for a bacon cheeseburger, when it arrived it had no cheese, she apologized and offered to have it corrected. Not entirely sure it was her fault, it’s possible the kitchen missed it, none the less the burger was excellent and I enjoyed it. My friend was torn between her sides, fries or fried zucchini and the server suggested she get a 50/50 mix. This is a great spot to sit relax drink a cold beer, get a quick bite and watch San Diego walk by. I loved the countertop that faced the side walk, great view down to the water. I would suggest adding the fried pickles that comes as the burger garnish as a side option, I’m sure people would order them.

The outdoor atmosphere is great and the beer is amazing. Bolt brewery is great for events, watching the game, or hanging out with some friends. I highly recommend it. Update: so Bolt now has breakfast! The bacon and potatoes are tasty and have a great crunch. The breakfast burrito is really filling and super flavorful. Really good place to come with a unique San Diego vibe.

Bolt is a fun brewery. I love that it is all outside (mostly under shade) with kind of modular buildings - pretty unique! 21&up on Friday and Saturday nights, but family friendly all other times. Check them out for quality food trucks and live music.

Great, all outdoor, dog friendly, beer garden. They have a grill for munchies and lots of good beer on tap. Fun hang out on a nice San Diego day!

The beer was ok. However, the comedy night puts the establishment quality review in question. It was really bad the first time we went, but we decided to give it another chance. We only saw 15 seconds. The MC, and presumably the person putting the show together, started off bet saying that the shooter at the Trump rally should have done better. We average 1-2 comedy shows around the country per week, and are more than willing to accept political humor even if we disagree with it. But I assume that every readable person realizes this Is going too far!
