“Great karoake on the weekends!! Bingo and trivia throughout the week.Make sure you get some fries. Also have food specials daily. The owners are in the building frequently and make everyone feel welcome regardless of race, sex or creed. There's room for everyone at this bar!!“

“Great burgers. Outstanding customer service“

“this is my spot for the fights😆ufc-boxing or whatever the case may be👍“

“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.“

“Best place to watch the Buckeyes!“

“🙂👍 Rihanna does a great job!“

“Your normal local dive bar.Crowd can be a little so so, however tends to not ever be packed.There was always some sort of celebration that would have a potluck, they were always friendly enough to ask you if you wanted to join.We would go for our quite date nights. Round 8 ish to 10 maybe 11. Pool, cheap drinks, interesting people watching and comfy clothes never stood out.“

“My husband was in a business dinner and they walked some of gaslamp afterwards. After they parted ways, he needed to use the bathroom so he ran in the closest restaurant. They said he couldn't use it unless he was a customer. I totally get that but they were packed out so it made no sense.... Either way, he bought a chicken quesadilla to go. He brought it back to the room for me and our sons to have. It tasted good...until my youngest son spit out a piece of plastic he found inside the quesadilla. My Husband called about it the next day bc they were then closed. Their response was "oops sorry" like wth?! They then said "bring it back along with the plastic." No mention of a refund or investigation of how it happened. And by that point, room service had come and took the box of the rest of the food plus no one wanted to fight downtown traffic and pay to park to have them possibly offer us another quesadilla . 🙄 Again the food we did eat, minus the plastic, was good but the service wasn't.“

“My bf and I came twice to growlers in one week to watch the U of A play in the NCAA March madness games. The first time was during the week. There was a wait and we had drinks at the bar. We were seated maybe 20 minutes later. Our server was Larissa. We ordered food and everything came out relatively quickly. The burger was quality as one would expect paying $30. Overall good experience. The second time we came on Saturday. Again a wait, once again drinks at the bar and then seated 15 minutes later. Our server didn’t come for more than 15 minutes. Larissa recognized us and offered us beverages to start, then our actual server came by and seemed confused when we told her she had already taken our drink order. We ordered food and it took quite a bit longer than the first time we came. We understood as it was much busier on the weekend. Our server checked on us but she clearly was busy with maybe more tables than she could handle. Overall we like the food and cocktails even though it’s over priced. It’s definitely a great place to watch any sports. They actually turn the audio on for the games which was a plus. We will be back.“

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

“🙂👍 Gonzalo and the entire staff are awesome!“

“I love this place I always come here and normally I get amazing service but today I had my first bad experience with a bartender I haven't seen her before but you have to work pretty hard to ignore somebody when you're literally the only person at the bar ended up checking out and left rest of food didn't feel like ordering anything else with her besides that great deals and great food“

“They were so amazing and accommodating. Even though it was busy and the team made us feel like we were the only ones there. You can tell they have great leadership because all the servers and bartenders had the same spirit of top service. Will come back and recommend to friends!“

“Bartenders were great and friendly! Fun place to watch games! Love my girl Jordan!“

“Marina was amazing, for my first time here she took care of us and continued to check on us to make sure we was ok. Being a regional manager from a company I worked for in another restaurant. She did an amazing job with a job I would have liked my employees to do. Thank you for the service & the food.

“Old dive bar! Been goin here for awhile… 25 plus years! Xoxox.. glad they cleaned it up but kept the dive feel“

“🙂👍 Jessica does a great job!“

“Applebee’s Grill + Bar in San Diego feels like a dependable, no-frills spot when you just want something easy. The vibe is casual, maybe a bit dated, but comfortable. Food is hit-or-miss—some dishes land, others feel reheated. Service is usually friendly, though not always attentive during busy hours. It’s not memorable, but it gets the job done when you’re craving familiar, affordable comfort food.“

“Great food and family friendly“

“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.“

“Its a fun little place to go to before Padre games .. Dorothy ( I think thats her name ) is an AWESOME bartender.. The guy on the grill was funny too .. he can grill a burger 🍔 thats for sure !!“

“I enjoyed myself ??? The co-owner was awesome as she moved around the crowd and spoke to ppl and seen her help clear tables ? The dj on Friday night was dope, had me dancing ?? The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?“

“Great Food, Awesome Music, Too Much Fun!“

“So much fun! From Sunday Football games and giant Jenga to Karaoke and Beer Pong. The only thing missing was darts! Otherwise fantastic experience in the Gaslamp District of SD! 4 out of 5 stars!!“

“This was our go-to spot before the game and it didn’t disappoint. Super fun atmosphere with interactive games to play with friends, and the sliders were actually really good. Tons of TVs so you don’t miss any of the action. The best part for me was the open rooftop — gave it that outdoor feel without having to deal with the heat. Great vibes all around!“

“Great beer and service. No food today but menu looked great“

“We had a wonderful time at Cays this weekend. I was joined by two sisters and my daughter. We sat al fresco. We ordered the following: 1 bottle of Pellegrino, 2 teas, 2 martinis, a Tito Mule, an order of brocolini, 2 patatas bravas, 1 pan con tomate, 1 burger, and Spanish cheese and meats. Total without the tip was 151.93. Yes, a bit steep, but you are in Coronado and the views are very nice. Our waiter was efficient and he was friendly. I have had many meals at this hotel (I am a local) and I have to say most of the time I have been very satisfied. I would highly recommend Cays. I wish to stay in this hotel one day...“
