One of the best experiences of my life. Incredible atmosphere, people, food, and memories. Met the owner - what a guy! Shared some life lessons with me that I will forever cherish. Cant wait to go back!

Drove out from Minnesota Duluth. I thought I was going to have a good time in San Diego came. To this bar with a hostel welcome. Honestly, you don't even ever want to come back to San Diego. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. Goodluck

Brought my daughter here for her 21st birthday. She LOVED it. Classic laid back Cardiff scene. Friendly staff and great merch.

It's a great bar for locals and visitors, it's changed a lot over the years but the new owners have really made this place a popular spot for many to enjoy their evenings and weekends. They have an epic outdoor space with a lovely gazebo that has a bomb sushi once or twice a month from Stoked on Sushi (they cater as well). I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good time, great drink, and fun experience.

Had a great time until the worker told us our sweet, barking dog was gonna bite someone. She’d been chill for over an hour. I guess sneaking up behind her wasn’t smart, but neither was the attitude. Would’ve been a 5. Now it’s a 1. Good job.

Stopped by for a beer. Nice spot with outdoor tvs for sports and events.

They don’t serve food but get delivery from a nearby pizza place. Really upgraded. Very popular place.

Fun divey bar with a fun outside patio and inside there’s pool and some other games. It does take awhile to get your drinks unless you know the bartenders or are with a regular sitting at the bar but they are friendly when they serve you.

These guys are some of the most unprofessional staff when it comes to closing the bar. They kicked everyone out 30 minutes early and were completely disrespectful during the whole process. Do not go here.

Don’t stay here past 1:30 AM. They treat you like criminals, kick you off the property, and harass you if you’re on the public sidewalk. We will never go back and I will tell everyone I know to not go here based on how they made every single person leave the bar 30 minutes before close.

Epic music, cheap drinks, bar games.

If you are looking for a local dive bar, this place is perfect. Good drink prices, 2 pool tables, friendly people and nice staff.
