East West Brewing

Brewed on site · Saigon — San Diego

A two-story industrial beer hall just behind Bến Thành Market: a long wood bar, leather sofas, communal tables — and behind the bar, stainless tanks glowing purple, where the beer is brewed in the very room you drink it.

Purple-lit fermentation tanks behind the bar at night — The tanks in the room

Wide beer hall with leather sofas, steel beams and string lights — The shared hall

The room

A beer hall, not a bar counter

Exposed steel trusses, brick walls, chalkboard beer menus, warm string lights — and a neon Bottle Shop nook for takeaway. By day, daylight floods the big windows; by night, the tanks turn purple.

Where to start

A flight first, then choose

Not sure what to pick? That is what the flights are for: four small pours, or the ten-beer King’s Flight for the table. Ask the bar what is pouring today — the tap list always rotates.
