A new addition to San Diego’s iconic craft beer scene, Nason’s Beer Hall features an expansive selection of local and international beers, globally inspired comfort food, and vintage bar games. Its name pays homage to Nason & Co. Farmer’s Market, which occupied this unique space in the early 1900s. Nason’s Beer Hall is our interpretation of the modern-day beer hall and sports bar, with 24 beer taps and a SoCal-inspired menu of game day classics.

    The food was terrible. Came out ice cold and was incorrect for most of my party. The wait time for this terrible food was excessive. The waiter tried but the manager was the worst! Poorly spoken and honestly, not able to listen to complaints and respond appropriately. DO NOT GO THERE

    Service was sssllllloooooowwwwww. Two people arrived a little later than the rest of the group… after 15 minutes of no server coming by we went to then at to order drinks for them. We frequently had empty glasses and had to track down the server for another round. Food was fine, nothing exceptional, but nothing bad. Beer choices were limited for a “beer hall” - basically just a bar with a handful of beers on tap. Overall disappointed in the experience. Expected a huge choice of beer. Would not return.

    Dinner prior to a concert downtown. We were early and they were very accommodating. Service was sporadic and inconsistent. Appetizer was good, but the pizza was undercooked and cold. Not being able to get the attention of the server, I chalked it up to inexperienced staff and not being used to dealing with post-COVID crowds. My friend enjoyed her meal.

    We arrived and nobody greeted us. So we stood at the check in counter for 5-10 minutes and still nobody came. During this time the bar tender continually made eye contact with us. I guess he hates his job, didn’t even have the common curtesy to let us know what was going on. Don’t waste your time with this place.

    My friends and I stopped by Nason’s to watch the NCAA game and had a great time. The food was amazing and the drinks were great. Our server came around often enough to check in on us. We were able to stay the whole time for the game which we appreciated since we were worried we would be asked to leave after a certain amount of time. We will definitely be coming back another time.

    Beer menu was varied, food menu limited but adequate for our needs for a light lunch. We found Nason's while searching for place to watch the recent World Cup Soccer. Nason's has plenty of well sized televisions with seating configured for easy viewing. The service was great, Izzy behind the bar made sure we were well served. The atmosphere was relaxed and a wonderful place to take in a sporting event. The beer list was all local brews, a plus for us out of towners wanting to try local products. We will return when in San Diego.

    Nason’s was good overall. I feel like the server didn’t really care about over all service. She would take partial orders and then didn’t check if anyone else wanted something even when our drinks were empty. We had to stop her from leaving our table a few times to even finish all of our orders. We actually had to go to the bar and order a few drinks because some of us were waiting. The charcuterie board was awesome and we loved the variety. Atmosphere was fun and more laid back than most places downtown which is a plus for me and was great for our party.

    We celebrated New Year's eve at Nason's and it was an awesome experience! Perfect balance of a fun celebratory spot without the pretension. We met up with a bunch of friends and had a nice table to gather around for the countdown. Complimentary pretzel bar was a big hit!

    Unsure if the menu was limited due to comic con or if it's always small, but nothing looked appealing. I got the wedge salad, because how can you go wrong with that, but the blue cheese dressing was very strong and there were no other dressing options. My boyfriend & I watched sports the whole time because we couldn't hear each other across the table.
