Enjoyed the substantial cocktail menu and that their happy hour deals are every day of the week. My cocktails were well balanced and served in lovely drink ware. You can tell the bartender knows what they're doing. Very few people on a Sunday afternoon, but a great spot with various seating options (inside / outside, bar / big table / small table) making it a solid choice for most occasion. Didn't try the food this time.

Tuesday is steak night! A New York strip, potatoes or veg and an old fashion alcoholic drink for $20. Busy! Make a reservation online.

We came here for dinner on a week night, and it wasn't that busy, but there was only one server to be seen and she was helping a coworker out at the bar. So, we were probably waiting at least 20 min before she could come around to take our order. (Not complaining about her at all, because she was so great and apologized for the wait.) but it was definitely understaffed. The food itself wasn't a stand out. The steak was fine, but lacked salt. The nachos were lacking in cheese and carnitas. The crema that topped it was good. Sad nachos overall. And the birria tacos were simply okay. We weren't expecting the best birria tacos ever-we could've visited 664 down the street for that, but we did expect something a little better than what we got. The margarita was fine. The overall vibe of the restaurant was nice. But all in all, maybe stick to the bar of you come here. Shout out again to our waitress, who was busting her butt and doing the best despite being the only one on the floor!

After grabbing food at Maggie's, we swung by to check this spot out. It seems like it's a good happy hour spot, especially with the wings special. The beer was so so, we can try something else next time. If in this area, give it a try

The food was delicious! Great taste and the streak was nice and juicy like it should be. Service was great too. People were very friendly, made us feel welcomed. The Ambiance is nice but the food and drinks is what makes it a great place to eat. We will definitely come back!

Outside of fútbol games (soccer) I'm not sure if I've ever seen more than 5 people in there at a time. Which makes drink service fast and easy. It's a chill spot that is much better when it's sunny then when it's cold especially since it has a garage door opening. As for food.. I really only had the sliders from here. It's quite tasty actually. The bbq sauce on the side didn't match the sliders though. Felt very bland and took away from the sliders rather than adding any depth to it. The tvs are well placed to be able to sit and pretend to listen to friends as you really eye the score of the game. The bartender was fine. Been here a few times and it's always the same guy. Everytime I go, he doesn't have a lot of customers and so he's quick in serving the drinks. Overall I really only go for happy hour and typically only bring any friends or family whose visiting from out of town in order to get a drink and some food in their stomach as soon as they get off the plane because of the cheapish prices. I wouldn't bring any locals here unless it's a long wait for the trolley / taxi before a padres game. Plus one point for the kitchen staff asking if it's okay to give my dog a piece of bacon and for asking if it's okay to pet him. He doesn't like being approached.

Liberty Call is fantastic. The servers and bartenders are all friendly and knowledgeable. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are generous. I always have a great time and highly recommend the steaks and old fashioned!

Friendly servers, laid back atmosphere, and good food at reasonable prices. And the bourbon is fantastic! The Tuesday night steak deal is a great date night idea.

Second time stopping by for dinner. We were greeted right away and told to sit where ever we wanted. I asked for a xmas cocktail and the bartender made me the yummiest peanut butter chocolate whisky they made in house. I got the Cashew wings the were delicious. For an app I got the shrimp very flavorful. Definitely will be coming back to try out more items.

Definitely upgraded their already tasty hamburger! Cant go wrong with a fusion smash burger and some rally competing fry's. If you haven't tried your missing out!

Finally made it! Located in a little food row across from Northgate lies Liberty Call Distillery. It looked like parking could be a challenge, but luckily for me, I ubered. I've yet to make it for their $20 steak night, but since I was planning on going to a jazz show in the area, I figured it'd be a great opportunity to give Liberty Call a try, and I'm glad I did. Upon walking in, I was greeted and told to sit anywhere I'd like. I always love sitting at the bar, especially at brewpubs, as you typically get more attentive service, and people are often more social and chatty there. I come for the food and drinks, but I greatly enjoy meeting new people, and I'm always up for some good banter. The first thing I noticed was that the bar seats are much too low for the bar; it would make a bit of a challenge for shorter people or those with small torsos. I can only imagine that they don't want to invest in new bar stools, because it's obvious these aren't the ones. There's only a few larger tables, so if you're in a big group, you may end up having to push several tables together, which seemed like a regular occurrence here. I opted for the Cherry Smash, which was still $9 on happy hour, as I'm a big fan of cherries. The drink was just okay, and although I ordered 2 more after that, I'd probably opt for something else next time as there wasn't much cherry flavor to the smash. My boy got a draft cocktail, I believe $7 on HH, that was 19% abv and delicious. I'd probably get that next time. I ordered the famous cashew wings, $8 on HH, and the burger, also $8 on HH. I asked for the wings to be extra crispy and that they were; they had a nice little sweet tang, and were very delicious. The burger was a double with cheese, and it also had a beautiful onion ring on top. The burger wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't bad by any means. It had a nicely toasted garlic buttered bun, and was served with bbq sauce on the side. I wish they had asked how I prefer my burger to be cooked, as the burger was served well done. Definitely going to make it back! Thanks LCD!!!

Only 1 waitress for 30 People, Saturday night, something is very wrong here. Feel sorry for her, shame on management!
