Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens - Escondido

I went to this brewery for the first time some 10 years ago and recently visited it again. It is a really amazing place to spend time with friends and family and have great food. I do not drink but have heard that their beer collection is awesome.

The place is huge and they have a great number of tables. The backyard is an open space with a small pond with fishes and some open areas to hang out.

We went there a couple of weekends ago and had burgers, Mac n cheese, bread and salad. All dishes were perfectly made. No complaints whatsoever.
Will surely visit again.

We visited this beautiful brewery for beers and dinner after arriving in Escondido. We got a table outside and the gardens were amazing! Fire pits and heaters kept us cozy as we enjoyed several selections of their excellent beers. Our waiter was very attentive and even brought us some samplers (on the house). I had the stout and Red Ale and they were both excellent. We had the Italian meatball appetizer and that was perfect for the three of us and really delicious! The fish and chips dinner was delicious and filling! Good sized portions and well prepared. My wife had the Magyu Luxe burger and loved it. It was cooked perfectly. My daughter really enjoyed the crispy fish sandwich as well.

I highly recommend this place for a relaxing, casual, and beautiful dining experience.

Great food and beer. Portion sizes (even the children's) are very healthy sized. You won't leave hungry. Recommend the chili bang stone wings, chicken sandwich, and the kids burger if you have little ones! Service is very friendly. And a really scenic place, both inside and out!

This is not just a dining place, this is an experience to remember 😀 ... you can plan a half day outing here with kids ! The garden is spread in a big area with nice lighting and landscapes. It also has a small creek style water body. Lots of space for group parties !!

Food : Fairly enough options for vegetarian people. I would recommend "kung Pao Crispy Brussels Sprouts", goat cheese salad and wild Mushroom Pasta !

We were there from noon till 5 PM and it was crowded every single moment !

We stopped by for drinks before our dinner reservation, bringing our dog along.

The place is spacious, offering both indoor seating with high ceilings and outdoor seating with heater lamps, a large garden, and even a koi pond – especially charming at night with the fairy lights. They also have their beer-making equipment on display.

Our drink choices were:
- Julian Hard Cider Apple Pie Cider
- Stone's Mango Michelada
Both draft beers were enjoyable, which seems to be their specialty.

To accompany our drinks, we ordered some light snacks:
- Stone Mac n Cheese
- Fries
- A puppy meal made with quinoa, pumpkin, and meat

We liked the Stone Mac n Cheese and the Stone's Mango Michelada. Our dog definitely enjoyed his meal!

The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. If we hadn't had dinner plans, we would've stayed longer. Nonetheless, it gives us a reason to return and explore their food offerings next time.

This place is AWESOME! Great beer selection and atmosphere is fantastic! I had the IPA flight and was not disappointed. Took my family and we all enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service! Everyone was very friendly and provided great recommendations.

This is a beautiful resturant , staff was pleasant and very helpful. Everyone was a joy to have come in contact with. Smiles and laughs had during our visit. Will recommend and visit this location again

I’m full of gratitude for Stone Brewing. Thank you so much for producing the Delicious line of beers. The Hazy IPA is one of the best beers I’ve had in a long, long while. I hope that you continue to produce such line of beers, especially as other like size brewers discontinued and/or haven’t had consistent production. Taking seriously a segment of the market that yearns for such beers is truly noble. Keep up the great work!

Such a fun atmosphere! Our server Jesus was awesome. I had the chicken tings taco and we tried a bunch of different drinks

I will admit outright that Stone is my favorite brewing company, so I am biased.

To the review…

I absolutely love the self seating QR code ordering system. You simply scan the code, buy what you want when you want, and close your tab and leave when you want.

You can buy beer in 5, 10, and 16 oz denominations. Lots to choose from. They have a couple of non beer libations as well as NA options like tea and hop water (quite nice!)

For food, there are many options. I found the double crunch Korean chicken sandwich to be my favorite, wasn’t as thrilled with the roast beef dip option.

Altogether, highly recommend a visit. And I sincerely hope more breweries adopt the self serve QR system.

This location is always a good idea! Beautiful grounds and a friendly staff. We brought our dog and the host was so sweet with her. Even announced how cute she was on their radios. We had short attack from a praying mantis who wanted our seats but it all worked out.
We were helped by Lexi (to be clear, Alexa) and Brad. Both were awesome, attentive, and super friendly. Brad was helpful on our beer selection, providing a sample we loved and ended up ordering.
We ate the burrata app and it was delicious! The pesto was so refreshing in the heat with our beers!

Such an awesome atmosphere. Inside and outside looked so awesome. Lots of space. Loved all the decor and the layout. Food and beer were good. Ordered the Stone Violetta iris milkshake and Double Crunch Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. The fried chicken had the perfect crispness and the bun was so soft. My drink of choice was good and the hint of vanilla in it was perfect. Also got the pineapple upside down cake for dessert which was ok. Not a lot of parking but we came when they first opened on a Friday. As we were leaving it started to get busy. So come early!

Went for a great lunch to celebrate our best friends 50th Wedding Anniversary! Out on the beautiful patio area. Perfect day and delicious food!

There is nothing that will disappoint you about a visit here. Stop by the shop for merch, bottles, cans, or growler fills.

Step into the restaurant and pull up a stool at the bar for one of Stones beers, seltzers, or signature cocktails. Be sure to sample the beers on tab that are brewed at Liberty Station and Escondido.

Want to sit and enjoy a meal grab a table to sit inside or out. The QR code ordering is the future and it makes the experience memorable. Gone are the days of long wait times on the one staff person to stop by to get your needs. Order on demand and delivery is so prompt. You get multiple team members inquiring as they pass by if you need anything.

A+ for the service, setup and atmosphere. You will not be disappointed. Be sure if you're going during prime dinning times to make a reservation. If you don't and have a bit of wait time head into the store. You can sample beers there that you may or may not be able to get in the restaurant.

The restaurant is beautiful, inside and out. I wonder if Stone has a new chef because their menu offers new delicious 🤤 food! I was very impressed with their vegetarian dishes. Our party had poke nachos, Chinese stick ribs, veggie empanadas (my favorite) and Impossible Bolognese Rigatoni, among other dishes. You will have a good time here. I can't wait to go back! #msperatv

An absolute great vibe here!! My brother and I sat at the bar inside and had amazing service all around. Conor was very welcoming and pick amazing beers for my brother's flight. Adam was very attentive and got us water, and had the extra touch by asking if we wanted lemon in the water and if we wanted a straw. Sampson delivered the food that we ordered. My brother got the Bavarian Pretzel burger (I forgot the actual name) it came with pickles and he hates them. For this instance he said it absolutely completed the whole taste of the burger. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken and I was absolutely blown away.

If it weren't for the fact I had to leave to work I definitely would've spent more time here. Absolutely coming back for a more in depth experience.

We did the 2pm brew tour today with Eric and loved every second of it! He is the consummate host/guide of this esteemed brewery. Incredibly knowledgeable of the craft and products and with so much flair and energy. We loved all our samples and keepsake glass. We plan to go back next week for lunch and full pours. We’re from Vermont and have done many brew tours but this was our favorite, by far!

Accessibility: there are accessible/handicap parking spots in front of the front entrance to the building. There are also parking spots next to this for charging electric cars. There is a ramp to get up onto the sidewalk in front of the front entrance also. The doors to enter the building are pull doors and from there it is all flat ground (except for going into the outside gardens where there are stairs). It is chilly inside because of the stone building so bring a light sweater. There are larger, Wheelchair accessible stalls in the bathrooms; the doors to enter the stalls are heavy metal doors so push firmly to enter....I saw others not push hard enough and think they were occupied when they weren't.

Experience: MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A TABLE ONLINE...DO NOT WALK IN AND HOPE FOR A TABLE. I made an appointment online, came early, and still waited 45 minutes to be seated. They were very understaffed, even on a weekend. The female employees were all really nice though! They are dog friendly (you have to sit outside though if it's not a Service dog). My favorite beer was the Julian Black and Blue..fruity and GREAT.

Quick points:

Mostly accessible,

make an appointment for a table online, don't just walk in.

Dog friendly,

LGBT friendly.

This is a brewery garden. Great beers and foods with beautiful landscape.

Everytime we're in this area, we eat here. It never disappoints. They just changed their menu in April 2019...still very delicious (and the pretzel is still available!)! The jalapeno cheesecake...eh, it was unique. Wouldn't get it again. But everything g else...Five stars each for atmosphere, food, and service!
