Had some time to kill before flying back east for a work trip.
Came down to Mission Beach since it was close to the airport.
Noticed that Draft South Mission had great open views of the ocean so decided to give it a try for dinner.
It was pretty windy and cool and after sunset, so I elected to sit indoors.
I did grab a spot where I still had views of the ocean through the open garage doors that they have separating the outside and inside seating areas.
For a Friday late afternoon/early evening, it was steady but not busy.
I ordered the 12 piece wings with the house dry rub.
Wings were tasty and the rub was kind of a mix of lemon pepper/old bay.
Carrot sticks and ranch and blue cheese accompanied.
Service was pretty good.
The views were great and I am sure even better when it’s warm and sunny out.
They also have upper deck seating with views that overlook the ocean.
Although this location is right on the boardwalk and basically beachside, it is not a beach dive.
Nice brewery with a decent variety of bar food.
Even the bathrooms were very nice and very clean, not what you usually see for a place right on the water.
The food and service rates this place a 4 but the location and the view pushes it to a five for me.

We went here to enjoy the Christmas setup and specials.
Would recommend a reservation since even by 5ish the wait was over 45 minutes, but checking in with a reservation was very fast and easy.
The decorations, holiday cocktails, and ambiance are all really fun, and the food was a hit.
It is pretty pricey for the cocktails at nearly $20 each, though food prices were pretty average.
The pretzelcuterie, Rudolph's replacement, and wagyu lasagna were great.
We thought it was worth it for the experience and the great location - there's plenty to do nearby and it's right by the beach as well.

I like the food quality and portions here.
Food is comparable to other high end breweries $27-$40 per person.
The only con is if you are sitting in doors it’s quite loud especially when the games going.
And if you’re sitting outside, it’s quite chilly and breezy on most days.
So even on a sunny day I would recommend bringing a sweater especially when you’re not sitting in the sun on the patio. I will be back and will always bring a sweater.
