“A San Diego landmark. Used to frequent this classic dive bar and whiskey emporium up until about 10 years ago when I moved. They’ve spent some money and updated it and it’s all for the better. Ashley helped me and was a pleasure. It’s a true gem. A must hit spot and close to parking and the airport.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at The Tower Bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. The drinks were expertly crafted—balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. The food was just as impressive, with every dish full of flavor and clearly made with care.
What really sets this place apart is the vibe—perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying a special night out. Everything felt top-notch, from service to ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

“With all the changes happening in San Diego, it’s good to see an d business that has not been torn down or forced to leave because of high rent. Down to earth and long hours for food and drink. Genuine and friendly staff. Hope this place stays around for years to come“

“good place to eat and relax“
“New owners who have revamped the place for the better. More lighting, better TV's and sound system. Also, great place to hang on a hot day because of the AC. Great happy hour specials and nice friendly bartenders. The have free food during special events like UFC and Boxing fights. They occasionally have food vendors mostly tacos on certain days. Don't sleep on this place!“

“Went in on a Friday night with a couple friends and had a pretty good time. The place had a relaxed vibe, not too loud, and it was easy to actually have a conversation. Bartender was friendly and gave a few suggestions when we couldn't decide what to order. Drinks came out quick and tasted great. The crowd was mixed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Prices were fair for the area too. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid neighborhood bar where you can kick back for a few hours. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area again.“
“Great neighborhood bar. I've gone there off and on for 30 years. One pool table. Touch Tunes jukebox, smoking area. Close to restaurants. Only packaged snacks are available. Affordable prices. An intimate and friendly atmosphere. This is a gay bar and welcoming to respectful non-gay clientele as well.“

“The woman, Kristie I think is her name, that runs this bar is so amazingly friendly and wonderful to be around I love going there partially because of her, but they also have two pool tables and a dart board which is the reason I go. It's an amazing diverse mix of people in the middle of Hillcrest. It's not all gay or all straight. Don't pass this bar up it's been around for a long time and it's a great place to go.“

“Lived in San Diego for decades. Rarely went out but always passed Chicos. Finally went there. Just found a neighborhood watering hole. Met a nice regular, a chef from the Grant. Bartender was great. Using the website, he made the unique frappe I asked for. Next it was beer for me. The selection was good and prices more than competitive. There are several pool tables and the Padre game was on the biggest screen. We'll be going back.“

“I recommend however I feel that guests must temper their expectations for the emo nite experience. The indoor bar is over packed and the outdoor patio does not have sufficient sound. The bartenders were attentive and pleasant. The bathroom had toilet paper and soap.“

“Stopped in on a Thursday night while visiting from out of town. It was pretty quiet with only a couple other people there, but the bartender was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. We had a drink and then headed to another spot. I would definitely recommend going on a busier night for more energy, but overall a welcoming vibe.“

“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.“
