San Diego’s Harland Brewing Company will open its first full-service restaurant on Thursday in the former Ponce’s restaurant space in 4S Ranch.

Founded in 2018 by Jeff Hansson and Anthony Levas, Harland Brewing is one of the region’s fastest-growing breweries. Besides the new restaurant in north San Diego, Harland also operates three tasting rooms in South Park, Bay Park and Scripps Ranch.

“As a Rancho Bernardo resident and parent, I know how hard it can be to find a place that truly works for the whole family. Our community is full of families looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place where kids feel just as comfortable as adults,” said Hansen, company CEO. “My hope is that Harland 4S Ranch becomes a gathering place for the neighborhood and a staple in the community for years to come.”
