My relationship with MO's Universe began 17yrs ago when Baja Betty's opened their doors. To make a long story short, I was the Bar Manager there for 7 years until we decided to open up Hillcrest Brewing Company; where I was excited for the opportunity to become a managing partner in the MO's Universe family.

Unfortunately had an unfortunate experience after entering the establishment after the bouncer had let us in (group of 3) who were not drunk… some older gal (who I suppose was part of management) said that our front runner was a girl was a girl denied her saying that “we will not be able to serve you” when in fact the three of us did not stumble in any way shape or form. We thought this place was cool and was gonna be our spot but as long as the short, white girl with the short black hair is there don’t go there. She has no way of confirming that you’re good to drink or not…. That’s

Happy hour prices: $3 pizza slices. Thin crust, generous slice of pepperoni, cheese, or hawaiian. Discount on beer but I can't remember how much. $3 off? I ended up getting the pear cider which was perfect.
Easy-going vibe. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Dogs allowed. I met the sweetest, gentlest 6 month old boxer/lab mix puppy. I had plans to call her Tinkerbell. She's up for adoption (#fuzzyfeetdogrescue); and I would but a little too soon after the passing of my Hook.

Great variety of brews (their own and from other breweries) plus a full bar and kitchen. Delicious pizzas! Great, friendly service. This place will be on the regular schedule!

Great beer, atmosphere, and location. Low-key. The margarita pizza is divine! Love the people who work here! They’re so warm and friendly and always bring a smile to my face.

Probably, one of the best breweries/eateries I've been to in the last few years. Fast and friendly service, always a drink for your preferred taste and YOU MUST GET PIZZA HERE!

Really great. Food and service and beer on point. Ok just want to see more bar food appetizers. That the only mark down. More diverse snack menu. But food was great.

Tonight was not a good night for service. I came with a friend, and we were seated at the outside area fairly quickly. The server came by soon after to ask us for our orders, and we told him we would start with waters while we took a look at the menu and decided on what to eat. He gave us our waters and left to attend other people while we looked over the menu. The server never came back to our table to ask us if we were ready to order anything else, even after a couple was seated next to us and given drinks. We waited between 15-20 minutes for the server or someone to come back to us so we could

This is a cool place to hang out, meet people and have a few drinks. That said, they do not take their in house beer program seriously at all. All of their stuff is mediocre at best but at least they have good guest taps.

Plenty of seating inside and out. Wednesdays have $6 one topping eight inch pizzas and $5.50 select drafts. A great mid-week happy hour!

Enjoyed some beer and grub at HBC, after we learned they were dog friendly on a recent trip to San Diego. They were slammed and service started pretty spotty but our server was whipping around as fast as he could and eventually it slowed down. We had lots of tasty beer and food including pretzel, wings and pizza. The pizza was really good (the Hubs said the wings were okay and nothing more) ...but the pizza!
