“A place that makes you feel right at home!
The beer selection are their own brews and covers lagers to IPAs! The Japanese Lager is a personal favorite! They did bring back an old fave too of Mango Toasted Rice Lager!
Their burgers are full of flavor! A choice of 4/6/8 chicken strips that are a kid pleaser!
The swag and beer collection are a must to check out!
The place does get a little packed at end of school due to parents enjoying a pint while they wait for their little ones. I definitely did when my son went to Albert Einstein!
Come in and enjoy a pint or two! Oh yeah, they do have coffee til 3pm!“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“Really delicious and reasonably priced food. Love the fusion style. The Tokyo fries are one of my absolute fav things on the menu. As well as the fried kale and Banh mi 🤤 Decent beer, wine, teas, and specialty drinks.“

“My sister and I were craving Japanese food, so she suggested Kumi Sushi Grill. I ordered a bento box with chicken teriyaki, yellowtail sashimi, and mixed tempura. My sister also got the chicken teriyaki bento box with mixed tempura, and fried gyoza. The Bento boxes come with miso soup and we also ordered Green Tea.
All I can say is everything was excellent. They give you 3 big pieces of yellowtail sashimi that melted like butter and their tempura was awesome.The portion sizes are huge. We should split a box. You can swe hiw much food my sister had in her to-go box. Mine was just as much food but not as pretty. I highly recommend this place.“

“Love the food joint that’s been added to this bar. Amazing food and people!“

“Cheddar shrimp and grits were so good!“

“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.“

“Very tasty beverages. Nice big ice cubes, made from tasty water. Friendly staff, and a back room shrouded in mystery...“

“A refreshing quality Hard Yerba Mate made to taste in a nice garden atmosphere! The staff is superb and knows their Mate!“

“My wife and I came in last night before the padres game. Awesome atmosphere and location. The cold IPA was honestly the best beer I’ve had in a long time. Brandon the bartender was super friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area“

“Acceptable poke. I told the counter service person I don't like spice so hold the spicy house sauce. It was still spicy even after I removed the red onions and cilantro. But that's my taste preference. Clean restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. City noise not too loud. Service level perfunctory. Clean bathroom.“

“Finally made the trek to PB for an epic watch party.

Surprisingly fun sports bar that offers up great eats and refreshing drinks.

With a wide variety of beers on tap, the bartenders keep it flowing all day long, especially during game days.

The servers provide excellent service! Dina helped me out and was always checking in on me and my friend. Mich appreciated.

With a good amount of big screen TVs, raffles and shota after each score, it's definitely a fun time.

Respectful crowd, family and pet friendly, the only thing missing is parking! I don't knock them for it since it's not their fault.

There is tons of parking available but beware as you do have to pay the meters on Sundays now starting at 10am... Not a big problem, I just hopped down to another meter once my time was up, which just happened to be halftime.

I'll be back again for sure.

Thanks for a memorable day!

Go Lions!“

“This place serves 85 years of proven deliciousness. It is simple. It is hearty. These days, it is even out of the ordinary. Just go. You will be glad that you did. If you are like me, you’ll remember how Mom would heat the oven to 450 degrees and place the block of ice Hungry Man pot pie in the oven for one hour till it transformed into a cauldron of molten lava. My mother would even crack open the hood of the pie and load it with an extra cup of frozen peas and carrots that would cook to perfection in the heavenly inferno of scrumptious delight, which made me the muscular hunk of love that I am today. The San Diego Chicken Pie Shop serves up a pie that is an even better recipe than the one in my memories of my dear Mom. If your are nearby, give it a try.“

“Singularly the best brewery in San Diego
Been going there for 10+ years

The owners are are family to me & my husband, have been awesome friends for a decade.

The beertenders are fun, educated about the beers & are all family to me

The beer is some of the best i’ve had in my life, my desert-island beer lives on the board, Drink this or the Bees Die

Being gluten-free makes the beer healthier for me, less pain in my joints, no bloating, & tastes amazing.

Overall 100/10 for me, now & forever“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“Great restaurant! Food, service were on point!“

“Passed through while on tour and had to stop at the Philly bar to feel like we’re back home! Best vibes and even better staff and brews and pretzels!!! Such a great environment, wish we could have stayed longer! Can’t wait to come back :)“

“Outstanding venue. First time visiting the establishment for lunch with some co-workers and I will be back for a more social setting!“

“I love this place so much it’s my second home!! All my extended family thats there and the wings!!! Gotta have the wings haha!! Make sure to stop in and say hi, everyone will welcome you in like you’re family too!!“

“They have the best Kombucha & usually incredible IPAs & Stout. Best brewery in SD. I host Kombucha or Beer & paint parties at this location. Join us, Search original art cafe nova on Eventbrite or Allevents for workshop times & location!“

“Hodad’s!! It's an iconic burger joint in Ocean Beach, but even if it wasn't, the burgers are fantastic! The onion rings are definitely worth the upcharge. And it's a great value, too. You will probably have to wait in line to be seated, but it's worth it. And you can see some really interesting characters on Newport Avenue. Try going during an off time, if you don't want to wait. The food is freshly prepared. 100% recommend!“

“We had a great lunch and the waiter was very polite and helpful. I highly recommend this place.“

“Had a quick lunch here today. Yummy salad ( a bit heavy on the blue cheese, but fixable) fun ambiance and very helpful friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place! Also, kind on my wallet which makes going here a no brainer!“

“This was the perfect little place near the fishing docks and on the harbor. We were at a conference at the Manchester Hyatt, and it was definitely worth the walk to come eat here. I got the steak nachos, and they were perfect! The steak was fantastic, and the toppings were great! My friend had the pastrami burger and loved it as well.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and the staff is the best.“

“Good food. Great service !“

“What an awesome place. Staff was super friendly. Jean (or gene) i applogize if i misspelled that but he was the most knowledgeable and friendly guy. Highly recommend if you hit the San Diego craft scene especially if you're limited for time. If i come back to the area I will definitely be back. Shoutout to North Park Beer Co. for the recommendation. Cheers 🍻“

“I got the kebab fries, they were very tasty and the staff was super friendly. If anything, the prices are a bit high but I guess that’s just inflation and the cost of living. So it’s definitely a cool little spot but almost everything is $20+. But the taste of the food is worth it :)“

“Food was theeeee best!!! The wings were hot n perfectly crispy and juicy sauce on both buffalo and bbq were delicious the Stromboli was the best we have ever tried food came out fast. The decoration on wall made it exceptionally fun for my son oh and the meatballs and sauce were sooooo good“

“A great chill place and outside they allow dogs. Usually decent bands on the weekends and no cover charge. It’s a great find and I recommend 🤙🏼“

“I am late to reviewing and forgetting the servers name. She was from Maryland, and the reason we ordered more than just a pick me up coffee before the Japanese Friendship Gardens. Our server (delightful as can be and a great conversation partner) encouraged us to try the Spicy Calamari and Aquachile. It's not the best flavor pairings with coffee. So, stick with a bubbly libation when ordering these delightful dishes. The flavors, however, are divine. Fresh ingredients that remain high quality! We enjoyed a table overlooking the gardens and lucked into it without a reservation. Although, I recommend reserving in advance for optimal seating and table assurance.“

“I was expecting more. The calamari tasted bland. The muscles were good but my toast was burnt and bland. The desert with the coconut and lime was tasty. Our service was average.“

“This place is a real Gem, excellent coffee, tea & pastries. Cigar friendly, with a nice selection for sale. Even as a tourist you get that local neighborhood vibe and they treat ya like family! Staff was so friendly and hospitable! Loved the decor and atmosphere, this place will definitely be one of my go to stops when we visit again!“

“Eddy's an awesome bartender!“

“They have a great happy hour with 1/2 price bottles of wine 🍷 on Wednesday's. It's a great place to watch the game.“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“Loved coming here for the jazz nights on Tuesdays. Starts at 7 pm. They serve food though haven't tried it yet. Lots of different beers, ciders and sours on tap. Also, have a couple options for non alcoholic beer, which was a huge plus!

We'll be coming back for more music and drinks“

“Love this place!! And great 🍕 pizza“

“I attended an event at Meraki last night and absolutely loved the space! It’s beautifully clean, open, and so versatile—you can really make it your own. The food was delicious A++ (my favorite was the Fettuccine Alfredo) and the service was truly top notch. Such a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!“
