Belching Beaver Brewery Tavern & Grill

Belching Beaver Pub 980 is the brewery’s pub at 980 Park Center Drive in Vista, separate from its downtown Tavern & Grill. The space takes inspiration from camping and outdoor gatherings, with a casual room for food and drinks and fire-pit seating outside. The drinks selection includes Belching Beaver beer, wine and rotating taps for mead and cider. The pub menu goes well beyond bar snacks: it lists wings, pretzel bites and 980 Nachos, along with burgers, sandwiches, salads and other meals. Pub 980 also offers online ordering and advertises private parties. Its location, menu and event inquiries are specific to this Park Center Drive pub, rather than the East Broadway Tavern.
