“The Chicken Wings ..!!!Need we say more!!! They are Amazing…The Mahi Mahi tacos are loaded with flavor. The burgers are big , flavorful and not overwhelming. Their selection of beers on tap are exactly what you will be looking for. Right across the street from the IB pier (about 100 yards ) with patio seating that looks out to the beach. The staff is super friendly. It’s self seating. Don’t forget to purchase one of their famous shirts on the way out….Kid-friendliness: My Kids Love this place !!!“
“I've been here a half dozen times over the years. It's a nice crowd. Fun and laughter fill the place. I've gone mostly for breakfast on Sundays. But I've taken dates there twice. We always had fun and the people there on the weekend nights were party happy.I saw the review from the out of towner who said he left without a drink or lunch. Not sure what happened but as a bar manager myself I drill into my bartenders that the patron always gets an acknowledgement when they walk in the door. If they are busy doing something they let the patron know they will be right there or stop what they are doing and greet or serve them. I can't imagine a bartender in a vet org not doing it. But I wasn't there.“
“Always a great time at the scoreboard! This ketchy dive bar is exactly what you need! The food is really well Priced (check out happy hour) and I love to come for the events! They do Monday night Music Bingo and Tuesdays Trivia. The staff is great and the drinks are strong. They have 5$ cocktails before 6 on“
“Serious locals bar. Great service. Unusually well manicured tap beer selection - nice work. I had a perfectly poured Guinness followed by an HB helles - both in the correct glasses. How often do you get that? Great whiskey selection, if you are so inclined. I was here on a Monday night. There’s a lot of not so ideal bars in this area. This place is an outlier. A true haven of a spot. Look forward to coming back and trying the food.“
“Excellent service and good food! Catalina was exceptional and took great care of us at the bar. She was super friendly and efficient taking and delivering our order. It is rare these days to find good service and she really surprised us! The pork tacos and chicken sandwich were tasty and fresh!“
“Hi Star! I'm Bob Kelly, Back in 1988-91, I worked there as a doorman. I knew your Dad, Lloyd Thompson. Great guy, a legend in downtown San Diego. Big, "John Wayne type" guy! Good businessman. He kept the beer & booze prices low & he reminded folks, "This ain't no Fightin bar!" He was full of stories of the past & loved to meet new, younger customers. I miss him!I came back in 2018...saw VietnameseLonnie at the small bar on left side...Glad your still in business...TheOrient bar is closed on F Street.I'll try & drop in soon, I live in Las Vegas & Philippines now. I'm retired (72) yrs old. Healthy & still sitting high in the saddle! Take care & don't ever forget your Dad. He was a Winner! ??“
“Great food served up by Chef Rose and Chef Kevin! Be sure to try the mango wings and shrimp skillet to start your meal. I haven't been disappointed by anything on the menu. It does get a little loud for happy hour and turns into a nightclub on the weekends.“
“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!“
“I wasn't from the area and was prior researching good spots to ear. I wanted something just enough to last me 9 hours to hangout in Chula Vista and prep for Jiu-Jitsu/gym. The 5 Stars is on the food itself. Wish the water cup was bigger but oh well. Imma make this my Friday routine.“
“I had a great experience at this joint. Sat at the bar and was helped by Brandy. She recommended the Philly cheesesteak and the truffle fries. The food was awesome and the service was fast and really nice. Nice jukebox and cool relaxing place to eat and drink. I will definitely be back and recommend to friends.“
“the best brewery in the south bay!!! live bands and DJ are epic, you can chill or dance the night away! great options for beers and ciders!Vegetarian options: ciders available for those who don't drink beer! like me, im vegetarian ✨️“
“Had such a great time at Johnny WAHOO Golf bar. The simulator has far more than just golf. I am a terrible golfer ?️♀️ an i was just as terrible with the simulator. But i did have a great time throwing a baseball at the screen. We got lucky and got 2 hours on a Thursday without a reservation. The bartender was so kind and friendly. Great beer and alcohol selection. Between the drinks, the reasonable price, and the different sports and games on the simulator this was a great way to spend 2 hours in gaslamp.“
“Kid-friendliness: I go there to watch liverpool games with my kids. Staff are super friendly and professional. Make us feel right at home. They even remember what we normaly order. Fans are the regulars. Chanting and cheerings, hugs and hi fives. Love this place“
“Our bartender really wanted to find drinks we would enjoy. She made me a wonderful drink called the white girl which I am and it was delicious. This is the oldest bar in san diego. Check it out beautiful bar back and lots of memorabilia. Walk onto history and just soak up all those who came before you.“
“I went to American Junkie last Saturday, as part of a Gaslamp Mardi Gras bar crawl ticket, the music was great and it had one of the best vibes in downtown for sure. Also the service was fast, I didn't have to wait in line at the bar to get my drinks.“
“Great music good people. We visited N City Spirts Lounge for a birthday party who received VIP service. It was a fun evening. I would recommend going to this establishment if you are in the area and enjoy listening and dancing to R&B and Hip Hop. The DJ is phenomenal.“
“love the happy hour prices and offerings. the servers were nice. music can be a tad bit lower. did not like that the cigar room doors do not close well and we can smell the smoke. we got respiratory issues. pls seal the room. otherwise thank you for the happy hour and Western Wednesday deals.“
“Went there yesterday with my elderly parents when we attend ASA's Autism Acceptance night with The Padres. I had forgotten to bring my ID . my mom had to explain to the guy that I am a person with autism - he questioned if I was over 021 ( I am -obivously because I am 039 almost 040 -duh ) Then he asked if I would be drinking ( Yeah -but only diet coke - which I had with No ice ) Luckily he let us all in. saw the Women's college Basketball game on the television sets ( LSU Vs. IOWA ) "Go Iowa - had a woody Burger with French Fries - very yummy - kind of loud - lucky I had earplugs ( Which I also brought to the game -even though we didn't stay every long ) - anyways Now we know where good eating is for Padres Baseball.Parking: Get it early“
“Was looking for a local spot to go and this is definitely a good find. It's a Mexican bar at heart and there are tvs to watch sports... mainly soccer. The people there were very friendly and service was good. Honestly I saw the people eating tacos and they looked so good. So if you are looking for a Mexican sports bar, this is the spot to go.“
“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.“
“It's a dive bar so it lacks ambiance as expected and the service is ok at best, but none of that really matters because what really makes this place spectacular are their crispy, juicy, flavorful buffalo wings. I don't know what they do to make them so delicious but if they told me their secret was rolling them on the ground in the back alley before dishing them out, I would still eat them. Wherever you're at in the county when you have a craving for wings, this place is worth the drive. Just don't eat them there. Order to-go and eat them in your car...unless you're in the mood to watch or be in a good old fashioned bar fight, then stick around.“
“To close out our night we stopped here to grab a few. It was a bit chilly as the door are open and there are no heaters. Very nice vibe and I will have to come back another time to fully enjoy. We stuck with beer, but I would like to see what else the menu has.“
“I’ve been coming to Tavern + Bowl for football, karaoke nights, and bowling festivities for years. I always have an amazing time! Keanu and Will behind the bar provide amazing service and delicious drinks. The food selection and overall atmosphere are ideal for a sports fan’s night out!“
“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!“
“What a great location with the lights sparkling around the bay! I had the onion rings (huge and crispy!) And the chicken quinoa bowl that was delicious! Each item in the bowl had been seasoned to be an individual flavor but they all worked well together in the dish. I will absolutely order it again.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian version of the excellent chicken bowl I had.“
