“Had a great time at Goodbar. The bar staff was awesome, everything was reasonably priced. They had a food truck that was really good and that made it fun. We happen to be they're on a night they had music. The band was all original music and it was great.“
“still here at the moment. this place is a cozy, hole in the wall establishment. the smash burger they have here is intoxicating all on it's own, it literally melts in your mouth. I added some fries on the side and my drink of choice was the natural red wine. I paired these fantastic options with the outdoor seating that is located in the back. I chose this place because it's within walking distance of where I live. I'm glad it's nearby, because I'll be coming back again. It's my first time here by the way. 5 out of 5 ! Also, let me add that the music playlist they have in rotation is curated perfectly well. Good vibes to say the least.“
“This is the favorite sports bar spot in town for my husband and I! Not only do they have fantastic seating options but the food is insane (in the best way)! I could rave about their fries forever - and I probably will. Especially the animal fries. Service has always been efficient and friendly!“
“Come for Thursday for the $1 wings. That's right folks, just $1! The wings are pretty flavorful and came out quickly. I really enjoyed the wet rub wings, especially the Thai chili flavor. My least favorite was the lemon pepper, which was a bit sour for me. Are they the best wings I've ever had? Probably not. Did they hit the spot? Absolutely. Would I return for the great wing deal? Definitely!Great selection of beers to pair the wings with as well. Reasonable prices for all the beers. Great service.“
“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.“
“What a great location with the lights sparkling around the bay! I had the onion rings (huge and crispy!) And the chicken quinoa bowl that was delicious! Each item in the bowl had been seasoned to be an individual flavor but they all worked well together in the dish. I will absolutely order it again.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian version of the excellent chicken bowl I had.“
“If you want a divey bar/pub, this is definitely guys up front are very friendly and let us know what games were sprawled around their bar. Only and beer and wine here it seems, but had no problem with that. Ample seating, fun vibe overall. There was a distinct smell all around the bar I couldn’t locate where it was, though.“
“We’ve been here many times over the last 6 years or so. Food and service always amazing. Ordered takeout last night-short rib entree, pepperoni pizza and giant pretzel w/ cheese. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Can’t wait to eat here again!“
“Excellent service and good food! Catalina was exceptional and took great care of us at the bar. She was super friendly and efficient taking and delivering our order. It is rare these days to find good service and she really surprised us! The pork tacos and chicken sandwich were tasty and fresh!“
“Hi Star! I'm Bob Kelly, Back in 1988-91, I worked there as a doorman. I knew your Dad, Lloyd Thompson. Great guy, a legend in downtown San Diego. Big, "John Wayne type" guy! Good businessman. He kept the beer & booze prices low & he reminded folks, "This ain't no Fightin bar!" He was full of stories of the past & loved to meet new, younger customers. I miss him!I came back in 2018...saw VietnameseLonnie at the small bar on left side...Glad your still in business...TheOrient bar is closed on F Street.I'll try & drop in soon, I live in Las Vegas & Philippines now. I'm retired (72) yrs old. Healthy & still sitting high in the saddle! Take care & don't ever forget your Dad. He was a Winner! ??“
“This review is from 2018..I am just beginning my thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail and this was the ultimate best send off! Excellent food and atmosphere...and then there was Jair! I was a single person..dining in boots with a backpack...not big bucks. I received the utmost respect and prime service from Jain. Truly this man is an asset to this establishment!“
“Great food served up by Chef Rose and Chef Kevin! Be sure to try the mango wings and shrimp skillet to start your meal. I haven't been disappointed by anything on the menu. It does get a little loud for happy hour and turns into a nightclub on the weekends.“
“Burgers and Sunday Brunch are absolutely what you should go here for! Longhorn is a great local restaurant. The small kitchen turns out some of the most amazing quality bar food. They have a fantastic rotating craft beer selection. Sit at the bar and make friends with Matty - he's the best!“
“Visiting San Diego this past weekend and meeting up with my long time friend. He recommended this place cause it was on the way to the airport. Place gives you definite dive bar vibes in a Cheers settings. Place was filled with locals enjoying a San Diego morning. Got there early and our waitress greeted me quickly and took my drink order as I was waiting for my friend. Ordered the moco loco breakfast-food came out hot and was very tasty. Got the chance to catch up with my friend and noticed how busy the place got but the patrons were greeted quickly and lead to a place to sit. Have lived in CA my whole life - driven past this place but never tried it. It is truly a great local place and will make a point to visit again.“
“Tracy is absolutely the BestJuan is awesome at cookingToday, whoever cooked the corn beef, it was the Best cut of meat, and cooked to yummy. I Loce this place, just be you, come and enjoy neighbors. But, for me Tracy is why I come back.lol“
“Had a wonderful lunch with my family. The food was hot and large portions. Kids enjoyed chicken nuggets and fries Maccroni and cheese. The cheese curds were hot and crispy. The Turkey Club was huge. I could only eat half. To the rest home. The service was excellent. Our server came over frequently to seen if we needed anything. I'm looking forward to returning. Oh and the bathroom was clean!!“
“I wasn't from the area and was prior researching good spots to ear. I wanted something just enough to last me 9 hours to hangout in Chula Vista and prep for Jiu-Jitsu/gym. The 5 Stars is on the food itself. Wish the water cup was bigger but oh well. Imma make this my Friday routine.“
“I have re-discovered Pal Joey's in the neighborhood I grew up in. You'd think there'd be a line down the street and a cover for the fun I had. It is in a local sweet spot of Grantville on Waring Rd and is still what a good bar once was in San Diego. The bartenders are spot on taking care of business while neighborhood friendly. Live band 90 Miles Per Hour was fantastic. Surprised to speak with a woman who rattled off the names of the other kids I grew up with here.“
“I LOVE RHIS PLACE! I come here all the time because it's such a chill place tobrelax with a great atmosphere and good food! Lots of tvs to watch sports with a friend or by yourself.Kid-friendliness: Kid and dog friendly. Small kids zone and large Jenga.“
“The staff is fantastic, the pool was free and the drinks are original and priced right!Parking: I was informed the tow truck doesn’t check the Arco parking lot abutting Gilly’s building until 7:pm. I’ve parked there often to do work and never any problems. Always blaze before 7pm!“
“I really like this sandwich shop and love that I can get a small sandwich and soup and it'll can be stretched to two meals. The sandwiches are fresh, the breads, meats, and they are not shy with the veggies. They also have a great selection of soups that is hard to find these days. You can order ahead online or in-person- either works and the service is fast and friendly.“
“the best brewery in the south bay!!! live bands and DJ are epic, you can chill or dance the night away! great options for beers and ciders!Vegetarian options: ciders available for those who don't drink beer! like me, im vegetarian ✨️“
“I had a great experience at this joint. Sat at the bar and was helped by Brandy. She recommended the Philly cheesesteak and the truffle fries. The food was awesome and the service was fast and really nice. Nice jukebox and cool relaxing place to eat and drink. I will definitely be back and recommend to friends.“
“The Chicken Wings ..!!!Need we say more!!! They are Amazing…The Mahi Mahi tacos are loaded with flavor. The burgers are big , flavorful and not overwhelming. Their selection of beers on tap are exactly what you will be looking for. Right across the street from the IB pier (about 100 yards ) with patio seating that looks out to the beach. The staff is super friendly. It’s self seating. Don’t forget to purchase one of their famous shirts on the way out….Kid-friendliness: My Kids Love this place !!!“
“Had such a great time at Johnny WAHOO Golf bar. The simulator has far more than just golf. I am a terrible golfer ?️♀️ an i was just as terrible with the simulator. But i did have a great time throwing a baseball at the screen. We got lucky and got 2 hours on a Thursday without a reservation. The bartender was so kind and friendly. Great beer and alcohol selection. Between the drinks, the reasonable price, and the different sports and games on the simulator this was a great way to spend 2 hours in gaslamp.“
“Brazil By the Bay is a great place for Happy Hour, and the perfect option before Games or Concerts at Pechanga Arena San Diego which is right next door. Friendly, casual atmosphere, and a wide variety of delicious Brazilian food. Don't forget to try the Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread)! Now offering a selection of Wines and Beer by the bottle or on tap. The owner and his team are doing a great job, the service is incredible, and there is an outdoor Patio to enjoy. Cheers !“
“Kid-friendliness: I go there to watch liverpool games with my kids. Staff are super friendly and professional. Make us feel right at home. They even remember what we normaly order. Fans are the regulars. Chanting and cheerings, hugs and hi fives. Love this place“
“If youre looking for your next favorite bar, please look no further. Cjs is one of my favorite places to be, with the best bartenders, cheapest drinks, and best vibes. Music, tvs, sports, trivia, etc. Love living in the neighborhood bc CJ's brings everyone together w its inclusiveness. Next to great restaurants and located in a beautiful part of town.“
“Love this place!!! I have been coming here since 2014 for March Madness and LeAnn and her staff have always taken care of me and our crew who come about 20 deep! The drink are flowing, the food is excellent and the service is outstanding!!!!!“
“I decided to order takeout here because the Mr. Peabody's in Encinitas wasn't picking up & I live closer to this location on Friars Rd than the one located next to Moonlight Beach. Based on their menu, I ordered the NY Steak because it comes with potatoes and salad for under $20. The food was great but nothing mind-blowing. It's just your average diner food with super nice staff. Compared to the Encinitas location, the waitresses here look calm and relaxed. It was also a lot brighter & quieter so you're able to look at the menu without squinting. Unfortunately, they don't have live music in this location but they did have the basketball game playing on the television so I'll definitely be back to watch a game here sometime soon. Price: $$ Location: Close to Fashion Valley Mall Service: Friendly and attentive Parking: Plenty of spots after 8 pm Recommendations: I would go here for the chill & friendly bar atmosphere. They do cater to an older crowd.“
“I wasn't aware they had food but the drinks were well made. The staff was super sweet and the music/ambience was fun. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood. No drama. Just relaxed vibe and good people. We will definitely be back to visit again soon.“
“I really like this place. Happy hour is incredible and inexpensive. I go here even when it's not Happy Hour. Mondays bucket of mussels is the bomb, Wednesdays Wings are super and sauces are creative I usually only like Franks Hot sauce but now I go for all the other sauces. Mike the owner is KOOL and the staff is top notch. Alissa the bartender is ON HER GAME! Best unknown place in San Diego better than any spot in PB“
“Pretty cool place to play some pool. Tons of tables available. Also TVs everywhere so would imagine it's also a good spot for football games and sporting events. They make a mean Tony's pizza if you're hungry or you could stop at the Jack's in the parking lot for some food“
“5 stars for the pizza alone. My absolute favorite pizza in San Diego. It's cool how you can build 10-inch personal-size pizzas or go bigger. Keep in mind, though, that parking in this area is tough. They don't have their own parking lot. Also, the inside has plenty of TV screens to watch sports.“
“So glad that I finally made it to this bar after living in the neighborhood for so long. I'm also very glad that I came in with a regular who knew a person or two as this has a very "locals" feel to it. First thought that ran through my head was that it was much bigger than I had expected it to be. I didn't even make it to the other side of the bar, which is also sizeable. Service was quick and there were a few folks playing pool on one of the two tables that I saw, (there may be more) and it had a nice outdoor space for patrons to go to for a quick smoke or two. Prices were average and the people were friendly, and for that, what more can you really ask for in a neighborhood bar?“
“Real arcade experiences are hard to find. I don't mean kiddie casinos that give tickets so you can trade them for cheap prizes, I mean an arcade with cabinets and pinball as an end in and of themselves. Dyno Bar is that for me. I recommend the 60th Anniversary James Bond pinball machine, Golden Axe II (because 4-way beat-em-ups are great for meeting people) and the cabinet with tons of ROMs of games from the 70's to the 90's. Anytime I'm in San Diego, I'll find my way here for sure.“
“Love the relaxed vibe and themed decor at Islands- it is a family favorite! The cool breeze drinks are a must-have for our fam! There is also a bar area you can choose to sit at as well. Parking is ample.Kid-friendliness: Cute kid menus and crayons are provided as well.“
“Our bartender really wanted to find drinks we would enjoy. She made me a wonderful drink called the white girl which I am and it was delicious. This is the oldest bar in san diego. Check it out beautiful bar back and lots of memorabilia. Walk onto history and just soak up all those who came before you.“
“i come to this bar every day to play pool in a nice laid back environment. one bartender that really stands out to me is Jamie. she always goes above and beyond to make sure every guest in the bar has a great experience. by far my favorite bar in lemon grove. great bar, great owner and GREAT BARTENDERS.“
“Our server, Stephanie, was amazing. The food was unbelievable, and we had an incredibly good time. I can't wait to go back and try another entrée. I had the salmon, and it was truly remarkable. The bone-in porterhouse looked equally amazing.“
“Was looking for a local spot to go and this is definitely a good find. It's a Mexican bar at heart and there are tvs to watch sports... mainly soccer. The people there were very friendly and service was good. Honestly I saw the people eating tacos and they looked so good. So if you are looking for a Mexican sports bar, this is the spot to go.“
“I went to American Junkie last Saturday, as part of a Gaslamp Mardi Gras bar crawl ticket, the music was great and it had one of the best vibes in downtown for sure. Also the service was fast, I didn't have to wait in line at the bar to get my drinks.“
“2nd time at McGregors. Friday happy hour. Live music, plenty of room for people to seat, full bar, and good food. Can't ask for more. I had the $15 burger combo. Good burger, good onion rings. Potato skins were a hit by all Fish and chips were crisp and taste Fried zucchini was delicious Chicken enchiladas looked really good with a big portion Parking can be rough when it's busy and service can be slow with drinks if you want it served to the table. Best nights to go Tuesday. Taco specials Friday. Live music.“
“love the happy hour prices and offerings. the servers were nice. music can be a tad bit lower. did not like that the cigar room doors do not close well and we can smell the smoke. we got respiratory issues. pls seal the room. otherwise thank you for the happy hour and Western Wednesday deals.“
“Definitely not a place that gets going all night like a club would but a very cool and quaint spot to grab a drink with a group friends. Pool tables and a variety of drinks on tap. Bartenders are receptive as well. Juke Box is a plus to play music of one’s choice.It’s honestly kind of it’s own place in the middle of everything, but wouldn’t mind staying here for a night and drink the night away. The Elwood is nearby too.“
“Went there yesterday with my elderly parents when we attend ASA's Autism Acceptance night with The Padres. I had forgotten to bring my ID . my mom had to explain to the guy that I am a person with autism - he questioned if I was over 021 ( I am -obivously because I am 039 almost 040 -duh ) Then he asked if I would be drinking ( Yeah -but only diet coke - which I had with No ice ) Luckily he let us all in. saw the Women's college Basketball game on the television sets ( LSU Vs. IOWA ) "Go Iowa - had a woody Burger with French Fries - very yummy - kind of loud - lucky I had earplugs ( Which I also brought to the game -even though we didn't stay every long ) - anyways Now we know where good eating is for Padres Baseball.Parking: Get it early“
“Good drinking and good karoake crowd on Wednesdays from 8pm to closing. The bartender, Tyler is really funny and spreads good energy out to everyone. Has a "Cheers" vibe. If looking for a dive bar with good vibes in the area, this is the place. Especially on Wednesday “
“Always a great time at the scoreboard! This ketchy dive bar is exactly what you need! The food is really well Priced (check out happy hour) and I love to come for the events! They do Monday night Music Bingo and Tuesdays Trivia. The staff is great and the drinks are strong. They have 5$ cocktails before 6 on“
“Great music good people. We visited N City Spirts Lounge for a birthday party who received VIP service. It was a fun evening. I would recommend going to this establishment if you are in the area and enjoy listening and dancing to R&B and Hip Hop. The DJ is phenomenal.“
