“Great service and amazing beer! We got a chance to taste their traditional beers as well as some of their experimental beers. The staff gave us an in depth description of the ideas behind their experimental beers and made for a great night out! Will come again and I highly recommend this spot. An up and coming gem in SD.“
“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.“
“Thank you Mason for such great service while I Hosted our private event. It was fantastic. You want above and beyond to make sure everybody was accommodated. Excellent meal, the salmon was perfect! And a great drink selection. The chocolate cake dessert was fantastic. This restaurant has a super great vibe. An Awesome bar. On. Oh sides. When there’s jazz playing, it’s a lot of fun. Nice big long bar to sit at and have a drink. highly recommend if visiting the San Diego area.“
“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!“
“This was our second visit to this place, and once again, we were pleased with our choices. I particularly enjoyed the Cardiff tri-tip option—it adds a nice local touch to the menu, and the burger was exquisite!One thing that bothered me was the need to pay extra for fries instead of chips. While the fries were indeed really good, shouldn't a burger come with fries?The restaurant offers plenty of wine and beer selections, and the service was nice and attentive. However, despite sitting indoors, it was surprisingly cold, even with our jackets on!Overall, while I wouldn't give it a 5-star rating, I still recommend this place“
“Thank you for helping my wife and I make a great food memory on our recent San Diego vacation! Craft & Commerce was a fun vibe for a couple small town Montana kids... Loved the eclectic atmosphere, the playlist was on point, and service was friendly, unpretentious, and no-pressure. Food was great, interesting and rich in flavor (if unconventional). One of the best burgers I've ever had. Thanks again for an awesome experience!“
“Cool and relaxed San Diego bar close to Balboa park. Free parking in a garage right around the corner! The Ahi nachos were recommended but they were too hard to eat on narrow pasta chips! Drinks were tasty and beer selection was good. Definately will go again and try different appetizers!“
“We recently stopped into Bootlegger for a bite and a beverage. Shasta waited on us and was an excellent server. We decided to split a build a burger and ordered a beer each. The burger was enormous and delicious - Thursdays they are on special and you can get as many toppings as you like with no up charges. It’s a good deal. The fries were a bit disappointing because they weren’t crispy enough and kind of soft/limp. It wasn’t super busy the day we went but I imagine during baseball season or weekends it gets pretty crowded there. Bootlegger has a large selection of brews on top. We will definitely be back again.“
“I really don’t get the bad reviews… I’ve been coming here almost every week for almost a year now… it’s always a great time, any food that I have tried has always been fresh, hot and tasty. The beer selection is immense and delicious (get the bad apple cider… it’s the bees knees). I feel like anyone that had a bad experience… was a Karen ? or privileged. The owner is the best, super kind and has a great sense of humor. The other girl that gets behind the bar is also super nice and attentive.The bar is always clean and the regulars are also nice and welcoming. It’s almost like your family bar. I’ve had nothing but good vibes and energy ANY time I come. Try the fries, wings, tenders, burgers and the brisket… it’s all good… you won’t regret coming here“
“3.5 stars... rounds up to 4? I guess? It's a cute place in cute South Park. Great atmosphere, colorful and airy. Really young clientele when we went, which was just when they opened.The food was decent, but not astounding. The tomato creme based dishes were notably thin and watered down, and the rice could have been cooked a few minutes more. The Naan was great though, as were the appetizers (Samosas and some potato pancake sort of thing, I think?).Service was a bit scarce, but the pleasant demeanor of the server easily made up for it. Also, note to Management: please inform the wait staff that providing the customer with a bill to review BEFORE they pay isn't some extraneous old-timey "boomer" thing, but a standard transactional necessity for customers. People need to know exactly what their bill is comprised of before they pay (you don't just verbally tell them a total and ask for a credit card). That's the point of bringing the bill first. It's in everyones' best interest to make sure there aren't errors!Thanks, Curiosity. We enjoyed ourselves!“
“Loved the atmosphere for date night. We got served quickly despite the busy night. Our drinks were a bit too sweet to drink a full drink, but I know if we asked they would have dialed it back on the sugar next time and nailed it. Seems like it could be a fun place to meet people too - pretty social all around based on the amount of standing room. Get on the list for the speakeasy in the back when you arrive if it’s a weened and they aren’t taking reservations in advance. Would definitely go back for another date night or with friends.“
“Popped in for an afternoon lunch at Bar One with our group of 6 from an event. B, our waitress handled the traffic extremely well. There were probably 25 total from our event that came in for a lunch rush and she was the only waitress on staff. I got a bowl - can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Would 10/10 recommend for a lunch spot!“
“First time here and I'm glad we picked it. The waitress was very friendly with a nice, chill bar atmosphere. The poke nachos was excellent! Wontons as the tortilla chips with poke and avocado. Ended up getting the Swiss mushroom burger. If you like mushrooms then try this burger! Will come again as I enjoyed the food.“
“Great location for our otay ranch community. Some of the food is outstanding. I've had a few dishes. A few of my favorites are the sisig bowl, waygu burger, Brussels and arugula melon salad. The rotating beer list is really good. I'm sure you'll find the beer you want. Since we only sit at the bar the service is always excellent. The parking is very weird you have to literally drive on what seems to be a sidewalk through the park to park in front. The ambiance is very open and airy. The music I thought the perfect level when you can hear it but also have a conversation. A bit busy on the weekends. It's worth it to give this spot a try. I am officially a regular since living just a few blocks away. It's now our favorite go to in the neighborhood can't wait til they get the actual liquor license to try some cocktails.“
