Idyllwild Brewpub opened in March 2017 and is located in downtown Idyllwild, CA. Since then Head Brewer and Founder, Don Put, has been producing world-class beers that pair wonderfully with the exceptional food menu and dining experience.
We feature 21 of our Idyllwild Brewpub beers on tap, delicious pub-style food, and a full bar with craft cocktails and spirits. We also sell our beer to-go in growlers, cans, and bottles!
Bustling tavern with upscale pub fare & a changing line-up of live bands in a polished space.

I came here on a Saturday and they were quite busy, we were put on a wait. The waiting area is nice, it’s outdoors on the patio. It has benches, tables and a nice view of the trees. Dogs are welcomed here, everywhere in Idyllwild allows dogs it seems.
The majority of this restaurant is outside, it has a large patio. They have shades that can be pulled down when the sun is too strong. There is a nice view of trees. The food is really good! They offer vegan options such as crispy tofu that can be substituted on salads. They also had an impossible paty on the menu, but were out when I was there.
I got an avocado salad with crispy tofu, it was really good! Their burgers look good as well.
Parking is free and there is a big parking lot right in front of the pub.
They also have a good selection of beers and also offer NA beer.

Fun little stop. Very lively. Excellent service and great food. They have an excellent selection of beers on tap & wonderful, caring service. I had the brussels sprouts & pretzels as appetizers. DELICIOUS cheese sauce and mustard dips. The brussels sprouts weren’t soggy like I’ve had at other restaurants. A+! I chose the fish and chips as my main course. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The french fries were perfectly seasoned. I’m excited to come back and try their mouthwatering smash burgers. We will definitely be back. At Idlewild Brewpub you can enjoy quality food with your family, at a price that won’t break the bank. Very rarely do any experiences, match the ambience of the beautiful trees and scenery of Idyllwild, but their Brewpub is truly worthy of a visit.

We had the pleasure of visiting Idyllwild for the weekend and spent the better part of our day trying every beer the brewery had to offer and wow were we blown away. We’re definitely beer connoisseurs and it’s been a long time since we enjoyed everything we tried! Staff were very kind especially since our big boy takes up a lot of room. They get super busy so I would suggest planning your visit not around lunch time.

After we tried to get pizza across the parking lot but they were renovating so we went to Idyllwild Brewpub, what a blessing this was! Super busy but we did end up getting a table inside for 2 right away. We ordered the Stone Creek Cod Sandwich (lettuce, tomato, lemon caper tartar, garlic aioli on toasted ciabatta roll) ordered the Campfire Burger (double smash patties, bacon aioli, smoky onion straws, bbq, mayo, cheddar on toasted brioche bun). Both we eally good but I enjoyed the Campfire Burger much more! Overall althought it was super busy our server, host, everyone was amazing, peak efficiency!

Had a quick trip to Idyllwild with some friends and we randomly found this spot. The vibe was way better than I expected — super chill but still lively. Even on a Sunday night, the place was pretty packed. I’m not a big drinker, but I tried their popular beer and it was actually really good! The food hit the spot too. Definitely coming back next time I’m in Idyllwild.

Not our first time here with my husband and friends — the food is tasty, but the servers often mix up orders and bring the wrong dishes (though they fix it quickly).
Cool vibe, perfect spot to hang out with friends, grab some great beer and burgers.
You can even bring your dog — they’ll take care of it too!

We had such a great experience at Idlewild Brewpub! From the moment we walked in, everything was easy and welcoming. We were seated quickly, and the service was absolutely phenomenal. The woman who helped us had the biggest smile on her face and was genuinely happy to be there. She gave us wonderful recommendations and made us feel so taken care of the entire time.
And the food… wow. Truly the highlight of our visit. Everything we tried was delicious — not a single bad bite — but our two favorites were the brussels sprouts and the butter burger. The brussels sprouts were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. But the real must-have is the butter burger. It was hands down the star of the table and something we’re still thinking about.
If you’re in town, Idlewild Brewpub is absolutely worth a stop. Great service, amazing food, and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely loved our lunch at Idyllwild Brewpub!
We had both the fish sandwich and a burger, everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful. The fries were perfectly crispy, the pickle was a great touch, and the whole vibe was super relaxed.
What really made this place stand out? It’s incredibly dog-friendly. There were happy pups lounging all around the patio, and the staff was just as welcoming to them as they were to us. It’s hard to find spots that make it this easy to bring your furry friend along for a great meal.
The patio is spacious and shaded with beautiful forest views, and the parking was a breeze compared to most of Idyllwild.
Friendly service, delicious food, chill mountain vibes, and a dream spot for dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back!
