The journey began in a cozy, 1,200-square-foot, dog-friendly sandwich haven with outdoor seating – the very first Board & Brew. This iconic eatery opened its doors on April 10, 1979, in the charming seaside town of Del Mar, California. As a top-notch sandwich hotspot, this gem prioritizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients and fosters a welcoming atmosphere with exceptional service.
Over the decades, the city has evolved, but Board & Brew has stayed true to the principles laid down by its founder, Tom Powers. He continues to own and manage the Del Mar location, ensuring that the brand stays committed to upholding its reputation for high-quality offerings, affordability, and outstanding customer service.
Much of the menu can be traced back to the original Del Mar location, featuring their signature marinades and secret sauce. A testament to the company’s dedication to its team and values, numerous employees have been with Board & Brew for over two decades.
