“I love it here and love the bartender Jess and Bernie and the djs“

“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure to dine at Juniper and Ivy for our 33 year anniversary. Not only did they have special menus for us, but we had a complete and very special experience start to finish.The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. We had what I would consider the best seats in the restaurant. We sat up at the kitchen bar, and were treated to an amazing dinner and “show “ The kitchen crew were so impressive and friendly to each other and us. We had such a great experience, that we canceled reservations at another restaurant on the same block for later in the week, so we could come back and try more. Same amazing experience at the next visit. Highly recommend, when we come back to SD we will prioritize another visit. Thank you so much for such a great experience!“

“Simply the best!! Highly recommended!!“

“Had lunch with my sister. Great food and portions. Kyle our waiter was friendly and attentive.“

“We had great time . Cocktail were very good 👍🏼“

“Wonderful place for a special occasion. The food was delicious. Everything we ordered was good. I like that they will split the soup or salad order between the two of you so you don't have too. Of course it's a bit pricey however the portions are large. The birthday recognition was top notch. They had decorated the table with rose pedals and a card. And the birthday special dessert was delicious and plenty to share. This will definitely be in the rotation for fancy special occasion dinners.“

“Some of the baddest cats in town show up for this jam!“

“I’m visiting San Diego and stopped at this bar and it was awesome vibes and a great place! It was 80’s night and everyone killed it! Kaylee was the bartender who served me and she sat and talked to me about some different types of whiskey and was very knowledgeable. She ended up getting my pallet down and got me hooked on EH Taylor Single Barrel!
My new favorite drink and she was awesome!“

“We are from “the beef capital” of Australia and discovered The Lion’s Share during SDCC 2023. My husband has very high standards when it comes to meat (his family owned a cattle property) and he could not fault a single dish. We tried camel sausage for the first time and were amazed at the flavor. Every dish was delicious, and make sure you try the brussel sprouts. A restaurant that specializes under exotic meats that can make brussel sprouts that delicious is doing something right! It is our must visit restaurant when we visit San Diego“

“Go the Duck Tacos and checkout the voodoo/ black magic background“

“Every time I have dined here, the atmosphere is warm and inviting but most important, the food is always amazing. The flavors and quality in every dish has not disappointed.“

“We had a nice meal here for my moms 80th birthday! The food was great and the service was amazing! They even let us bring our own cake! Our servers name was Dez and she went above and beyond! Our family has enjoyed Anthonys since I was a little kid, over 40 years! We love the atmosphere and will definitely keep coming back!“

“Chillin’ by the pool with drinks!“

“The Whiskey house isn’t just for whiskey! We enjoyed a great brunch outdoors. The cinnamon pancakes are to die for! Great service from Jackie!“

“My wife and I went to the restaurant thats inside the Sheraton Tower 3. It’s called Shorelight. Best decision ever! Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of the food that we ordered. We had the hot and honey jumbo chicken wings. Unbelievably savory! We also ordered the meatball sub. Huge sub! Fresh mozzarella, marinara sauce, and comes with either a salad, fries, or fresh fruit. Dalton is the bartender who took our order. Great guy and very helpful!!“

“One of my favorite bars in the city! Great cigars, deals on drinks, and a vibe that’s always chill but never boring. Staff makes you feel at home every time. I even love bringing in my board games here it’s the perfect spot to relax, hang with friends, and just enjoy the night. Easily one of my favorite bars in the city.“

“Casual Poolside Dining. Friendly Staff. Amazing Lobster Rolls. Nice Beer & Cocktail Selection. Comfortable Seating. Great Music.“

“Great service and a mixture of up scale and simple dishes. The menu is great and the bar has a good selection. Plenty of space in and out. So seating is not an issue. I Had a well cooked dish, but it was salty. My friend ordered the same and it was too. They took care of it and re-ordered. The 2nd day my food was perfect. Rations are big compared to other restaurant in the area. It’s a great experience and has a decent schedule for those staying at the hotel. Will comeback to upgrade this to a 5 stars.“

“Loved the space, the sound, and the people's energy. I look forward to djing and performing there again.“

“Overall excellent steak dinner“

“Just the best place in SD ❤️“

“angel was a gem, he went home before we can give him his tip. Give this man a raise! Period, king period! Thank you so much our engagement and sister in laws bday was 10 more times enjoyable because of you!“

“Went there to see my good friend DJ Yodah spin, and enjoyed the views and rooftop views for photo opps/selfies…“

“Walking back into SRO after years away felt like slipping into a memory you did not realize you missed — a soft, familiar glow, the buzz of conversation, and the kind of warmth that settles into your shoulders the second you walk in. This isn’t just a neighborhood bar; it’s one of those rare community anchors where the energy feels lived-in, loved, and completely unfiltered.

SRO has long been a haven for San Diego’s transgender and LGBTQ+ community. It’s the definition of a classic dive: no pretense, no attitude — just real people, real stories, and that easy, comfortable vibe you cannot manufacture. The pool league keeps things lively, the bartenders keep things relaxed, and the regulars create a sense of belonging that feels almost immediate.

After working in another gay bar in this neighborhood for over two decades, returning to SRO was surreal in the best way — I recognized faces I hadn’t seen in years. That kind of continuity is rare. It tells you everything about the heart of this place: people come back, and they stay connected.

If you’re looking for velvet ropes or curated aesthetics, this isn’t that bar. But if you want authenticity, comfort, laughter, and a place with a heartbeat — SRO is the kind of spot that becomes home without you even trying.

Highly recommended, especially if you appreciate a bar with real soul.“

“Just go to the Top! The view is amazing!“

“A neighborhood gem! Owners are wonderful people and have created a place with a lot of heart as well as being one of the best bottle houses in San Diego.“

“Cody, Bellman a fine hospitable team member. Inflated 🚲 tire. 🎩 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Overall excellent steak dinner“

“We were in downtown San Diego yesterday for a bachelor party with 19 of us, and the night completely changed thanks to the guy outside. A tall, tattooed gentleman approached us, super friendly, confident, and genuinely engaging. We were actually headed to another spot, but he had such good energy and made us feel so welcome that he convinced us to give his bar a shot. Best decision we made all night.

He personally hooked us up with champagne bottles and great drink deals (we ended up spending a lot of money there), you could tell he was single handedly packing the place with his hustle. I’d been to this bar a few months back and it was pretty dead, but last night it was buzzing, clearly because of him.

Huge shoutout to him for making the night unforgettable, and props to the bearded bartender and the blonde bartender as well, they kept the vibe going strong. Thanks for an epic night!

We will also be back to try his favourite dishes there, aguachile and wagyu burger.“

“Great place to hang out and watch a show. The staff were helpful, friendly, and professional. We didn't have any food but the drinks were good and reasonably priced

Parking: Plenty of parking but the best bet was the valet for us, reasonable too

Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy for wheelchair to get around“

“Stayed for a week at Hotel Republic. Trade restaurant is right next to the reception area inside the hotel. The hotel charges a daily 25$ fee and one of the perks from that is you can eat either at this restaurant or Topside on the floor above, with 25$ daily refund, even the morning you checkout - just need to charge it to your room. I was always having proper meals outside, but showed up 4 times during my stay here just to get something extra. Really liked their soup of the day - it was creamy potato the night I went. The steak fries plate is very oily and a huge size too. The breakfast burrito was okay. The hummus was really good. The staff are all very friendly.“

“My favorite dive bar no doubt ! Great drinks, great atmosphere, love the kareoke and dj nights. Pisces is the best bartender, she is always so welcoming, makes excellent drinks, and makes every visit to Shooters a good time. I always enjoy coming here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great local spot.“

“Having walked to the end of the promenade we called in to the Hilton and asked at the restaurant where the best place to order a drink would be. We were directed to the Pool Bar – a delightful area outside with comfortable seating. We ordered iced tea and when we asked for the bill we were told that there was no charge. Most impressive.“

“Great views day or night of the water and the baseball stadium. Our bartender, Toni, was very nice.
The mixed drink and beer selection was good, but they were a bit limited esp for heavy red options. (Cabernet Sauvignon).
We did not eat here.
Great spot atop the Marriott, for a nice pre or post dinner drink.

“Uptown Tavern never disappoints. Great food and excellent drinks. Cheers!!“

“Good food and fast service. Fair prices and expert help.“

“Food was unbelievable! Customer service was great. They brought us complimentary Michelada's as we had never had them before. Had to take a cab home after walking there because we had so much food! Will definitely return next time we are in San Diego!“

“Great spot, with Great employee's, I rented the Entire Club for a 50th Birthday Party that included food and drink. I highly recommend this Place.“

“Where is the 10 star option for service? I was at the hotel for a few nights for work. The entire bar staff was so hospitable and professional — it’s Elijah who really distinguished himself. By my third of three nights, he knew my name, what I was drinking, and what I wanted to see on the TV (hockey). That young man embodies hospitality.“

“Let's go walking Yes ok.“

“The Shamrock drink I had for St. Patrick's day was DELICIOUS!!!! My kids don't eat meat off the bone; however, my son devoured the bone-in wings. The XL pretzel was my favorite. Shrimp cocktail was also good, as well as the Carne Asade taco.“

“A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Very nice cocktails in a fun environment.“

“Excellent drinks.. beautiful view…come on down!!“

“Great music,vibe, and scenery“

“Such a great venue! Loved it!“

“This is my favorite spot to eat, drink, and dance in San Diego. I’ve had mixed experiences here due to how packed it gets. I think they could improve on how they treat customers who throw down $700 on food and give them better treatment and access to the nightclub. It was my birthday and after we spent $700 upstairs on food and we would have likely spent another $500 on drinks in the nightclub. However, they made us wait for 2 hours in line for the nightclub then asked us to pay another $120 to get inside. We were so livid that we went somewhere else. If they get more organized and give bigger spending customers priority, then this wouldn’t have happened. I work as a marketing director in Los Angeles in the nightclub scene and customers like this keep the business going. Their priorities need improvement.“

“Had a great meal with great service. The rigatoni was excellent as were the drinks. Also enjoyed eating outside in their little side patio, great for breezes and people watching.“
