“Serious locals bar. Great service. Unusually well manicured tap beer selection - nice work. I had a perfectly poured Guinness followed by an HB helles - both in the correct glasses. How often do you get that? Great whiskey selection, if you are so inclined. I was here on a Monday night. There’s a lot of not so ideal bars in this area. This place is an outlier. A true haven of a spot. Look forward to coming back and trying the food.“
“I came in here on a quiet Thursday night and was greeted with an amazing crowd doing karaoke. Like my visit to an Irish Bar in Boston, an Irish Bar knows fun!! Drinks are great and so much ample space outside if you want to sit down and catch up with a friend amongst the pandemonium inside. Bartenders are very friendly and attentive! Will come back soon!“
“We enjoyed a very nice experience at Hooleys, for dinner. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and seated at a nice booth.Our server, Lexi was at our table quickly to get drink orders. Our food and drink arrived quickly. Everything was prepared well. We had a Calamari appetizer, followed by a Beef Stew Boxty and Corn Beef with Cabbage. Portions were plentiful, with leftovers for another meal. Wednesday is also half price bottle wine night, which was a big plus.“
“I live next door to this restaurant, so I am always nearby. Every time I pass by, everyone looks happy, and the front hosts are always nice people. I love their shepherds pie. ? Very good place with very good people. Out of the 2 years I've been nearby, they've never had an off day for me. Can state they have my good review for 2 years in a row. My friends who also live nearby love this place too.“
“This is one of my favorite local haunts lately. They have a jukebox that you can change the music on using your phone, they use TouchTunes. They also have live music every single day, so if you're looking for live music to watch with a friend or a date night after dinner spot that is more casual, this place could be for you. I will also say that it is typically not packed unless there is Comic-Con or some other large convention in town. So it's a really great spot in Gaslamp for locals who don't want to fight the crowds, and just want a solid bar. All of the bartenders are incredibly friendly, and this could be your next go to bar. This is not a cocktail lounge, so don't expect anything fancy. Their popcorn is great, and is vegan, using coconut oil. Dogs are allowed outside on the patio.“
“Food was good. Had the surf n turf quesadilla and the birria queso tacos. Drinks are strong and service was quick. Our server was Roseangle. She was tentative, friendly and even though the place was busy she didn't appear to be stressed. Everything was perfect.“
“Better than ever! Grew up in the neighborhood and spent many nights there in the 80's and early 90's.I moved away in 92'. Back for a family reunion of sorts, and had to have a visit. Rosie's was still a great neighborhood hang out. Enjoy!“
“I've been coming here for years. There are so many items on the menu that do NOT disappoint! The stuffed potato skin appetizers, the bread pudding dessert, the red cabbage, the boxtys, the mac n' cheese, ANYTHING with corned beef! I'm always so happy in my belly with Hooley's to eat. My experience with service and atmosphere has generally been a mixed bag. The quiet dining area is pretty boring, so I tend to prefer the bar area (still have regular tables, not strictly bar-seating) for smaller groups.Parking: The restaurant is very much situated within Grossmont Mall, so there is a lot of parking. It's far enough from the general shopping area that even during busy shopping times, I always get a spot close.“
