Docent Brewing

Consider Docent Brewing your guide to San Clemente craft beer. Sitting right on Avenida Del Mar, this downtown taproom pours award-winning brews alongside a scratch-kitchen menu built for serious beer-and-food pairing. Grab a Double Nickels pale ale, dig into the San Clemente-only Smash Burger with barrel-aged caramelized onions, or try the Korean Reuben with kimchi and chili aioli. Add outdoor seating and you’ve got an easy stop after the beach that can quickly turn into an entire afternoon.
WTF Take: Come off the beach, grab a pint, order something from the scratch kitchen, and let Docent Brewing show you why San Clemente and craft beer make a pretty damn good pair.
