We’re not out to take the San Diego beer scene by storm or reinvent the wheel because the truth is, there’s no shortage of good breweries in San Diego. Instead, our aim is to pair that good beer with the same delicious food, exceptional service and genuine hospitality we’re known for so you never have to compromise one for the other again. Situated in Mission Valley, our 9,000 square foot brewpub includes a full service restaurant, an expansive and lush outdoor beer garden, and a pretty stellar team to make sure you always have good food in your mouth and a solid beer in your hand.

Madi is our go-to brunch place in the North Park / Normal Heights / Kensington area. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The service has always been top notch. The servers care about your dining experience and are willing to take the extra time to make sure it is memorable. I will continue to bring people to this restaurant.

It was my birthday and we had the best time! The wine came out quickly along with all the appetizers. Everything was fresh and large portions. We made multiple waiters come and check on us throughout the evening. The location is half inside and half outside but even if you're outside you're under a HUGE heater. So don't be afraid you'll be cold. This is one of my favorite restaurant to celebrate
