Creekside Brewing Company

Great stop for lunch along the creek but needs some positive energy.

Creekside Brewing is fairly new to San Luis Obispo and its taken the old building on Broad Street by the creek. Some say nothing can survive in

this location but hopefully Creekside can make it a go.

The Digs:
Creekside Brewing Company
1040 Broad Street
San Luis Obispo CA, 93401

The Scoop:
Creekside Brewing has a nice lunch menu and not what you expect from a brewery, which is a nice surprise. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and salads and while I didn’t get a chance to try their beers, I will be back to partake.

What Rocks:
All the sandwiches look great and I decided on an old standby, the Pastrami sandwich.  No matter what you order make sure you get the Parmesan Paprika fries. They are a bit too loaded up with Parmesan but very good. The Pastrami wasn’t as good a quality as expected but overall the sandwich was very good. Friends I was dining with tried the Caprese Melt and the Metropolitan and they both enjoyed it very much. If the weather is nice sit outside by the creek, its beautiful.

What Sucks:
The bar is actually downstairs so when you first walk in upstairs all you see is tables and the brewing system in the back. It’s a bit drab and desperately needs some decorating and positive energy upstairs. Service was okay but not great.

The Moolah:
Typical meal at lunch ranges $6-9. Dinner is slightly more at $13-28. Beer is $5 a pint for their microbrew
