Garlic Parm Burger - Half Pound patty, candied jalapeño bacon, swiss, garlic aioli, arugula, tomato, brioche bun, parmesean crisp - Served w Fries. Absolute 🔥! Our Server "Jordan" was awesome too.“

“Cool spot right off fairmount. Variety of drinks on tap and a kitchen inside if you’re hungry.

Pool outside was free which was awesome, worth checking if you’re on a trolley bar crawl, as it’s a 5 minute walk from the station.“

“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“We used to live around the corner but moved away many years ago. It was great to revisit KSBC and enjoy it just as much as we did last time.

Excellent service (and beer advice) from Taylor and it was also wonderful to chat with Bonnie.

If you get a chance to meet her, be sure to ask about the history of the place, and also “the photo” :-)

Food was terrific, and it was good to see they still cater well for vegetarians.

We often travel through San Diego on our travels, and try to stop here when we can. We haven’t been disappointed yet.

Thanks Taylor & Bonnie for the friendly welcome, great food & beer, plus the added bonus of some interesting conversation.

We look forward to our next visit.“

“I stopped by Lady Carolyn's Pub in Balboa Park and it’s a nice little place to grab a drink or quick bite before a show at the nearby Old Globe Theatre. The setting is pleasant, with outdoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying the park surroundings.

I had a beer and a light snack, and while the menu is fairly simple—mostly sandwiches, soups, and drinks—it does the job if you want something quick before heading to a performance. The prices are reasonable for such a popular location, and the vibe feels casual and convenient.

Overall, it’s not a full dining experience, but it’s a convenient and comfortable stop if you’re exploring Balboa Park or catching a show at the theater.“

“all is good!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“When the waiter is from Cornwall and the manager is from Scotland it is awesome to be there with my roots.“

“Great place for a drink and quick snack after work.“

“There’s no losing in Dice - you can only win: win with free drink or win by buying drinks for your friends. Best to get the “read ahead” on rules from Naval Aviator before “winning” and buying entire round a shout(round).“

“What a great place!! We stumbled across this place when we were out to dinner. The staff is friendly and kind. The owner Deano does all the work with the awesome bands they host on the weekends. From Country to hard rock. We haven’t heard one band we haven’t loved. If your looking for a great bar with great music this is the place. Everyone is welcome in this bar. Great atmosphere and you can even order food and eat while while you listen to fantastic music or play pool and watch sports. This is a true fabulous neighborhood bar. Come And enjoy. Char and Mark Handy“

“If you want a spot to watch a Philly game, this is very clearly the place to be in San Diego. I've watched Birds, Flyers, and Phillies games here. It's absolutely packed for Eagles games, with the crowd spread between two indoor spaces and a large outdoor area. IMO, the IPA choices here have been comparatively weak when San Diego has so many great IPAs to offer, especially at both nearby North Park and Pure Project, but there is a decent selection of other styles. However, the pretzel is the real selling point. Whether on its own or as the bread of a sandwich (the Spicy Turkey was recommended to me and it is quite delicious!), the soft pretzels are the real deal. I saw lots of people coming in just to eat, and I can't blame them.“

“We had our pregame, Puerto Rican Heritage Padre, celebration there yesterday and the staff and food were AMAZING!!!!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“I Came Here For Fundraiser Benefit For My Family Member Gabe Garza. We Appreciate The Love And Kindness From This Awesome Little Bar In Lemon Grove. I Definitely Can See Why Gabe Loved This Joint. Oh Yeah The Bar Tenders Are Hard Working & Very Kind. I Seriously Like How You Feel Welcomed Her. I Definitely Recommend This Place.“

“I stopped by late at night for a final pair of beers, and they really hooked it up. Rosemary, the bartender, is like the most wonderful grandma you could imagine, and I’ll definitely come back to see her next time I’m in town. We arrived very late on a Thursday, and they took great care of us. The place truly embodies everything you’d hope for from a genuine Irish pub!“

“SBTH is one of the best places in San Ysidro to get a good drink at a good price. I come here often for a drink or two and good from the fish place near by and some times from the market. The best part is that you can watch various PPV events, have a great drink and eat delicious food from the shops near by. Customer service is great and very friendly. Like any small shop expect longer queue times when they are busy but they will always take care of you.

Parking: If you come to SBTH while the near by shops are open you can get food from their but parking will be harder to find. Worst case scenario you can't park in front of SBTH so you will need to walk from either end of the parking lot to SBTH but this will take you a minute or less.“

“If you’re in the Gaslamp area and looking for a spot that truly delivers on atmosphere, drinks, and service, Patrick’s Gaslamp Pub is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, lively vibe that perfectly captures the spirit of the neighborhood.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home whether it’s your first visit or your tenth. The drink selection is fantastic—great beers on tap, well-crafted cocktails, and everything served just right. The food is just as impressive, with delicious pub classics that hit the spot every time.

What really stands out is the overall experience: great music, a fun crowd, and an energy that keeps you wanting to stay longer. Whether you’re out with friends or just stopping by for a quick drink, Patrick’s Gaslamp Pub never disappoints. Easily a 5-star experience—can’t wait to come back!“

“Good food, good service, fair prices!“

“Great food and Bloody Mary’s!“
