Amazing service and great food/drinks. Enjoyed watching the thunder win that night!

Solid food and good atmosphere. Downside are the prices, $11 for a beer is absurdly high for a neighborhood spot.

I was out on a business trip, and what a gem of a place. Friendly staff and.patrons. the staff made it enjoyable, and if you're ever in La Jolla, try to find the Mautilus Tavern!! You won't be disappointed.

Dive bar, lots of TVs for viewing sports. Fair amount of beers on tap and good cocktail list. Service is a bit slow, but now bad, they move at a slow pace. Food was really good, decent portions and tater tots!!!

The bartender was great. He was working the whole bar of about 8 tables. I didn't wait that long for my food. Best fish sandwich evah!! Good place to meet friends & hang out.

An Incredible Spot – How Did I Not Come Here Sooner?!
I’ve lived in San Diego for 21 years, and I’m honestly wondering how I never made it here before! I stumbled upon this place by chance—I just needed to use the restroom—but as soon as I walked in, I was completely impressed by the ambiance. It has the perfect balance of style and comfort, making it a great place to unwind.
I ended up staying for a drink and some food, and everything exceeded my expectations. The cocktails were top-notch, the food was flavorful and well-prepared, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.
This isn’t some hidden gem—it’s a well-known spot for a reason! If you haven’t been yet, make sure to check it out. You’ll be glad you did!

Cute neighborhood Tavern vibe and great wings, but that’s where it ends. French fries were mediocre and a simple vodka and club soda tasted like crap. Didn’t finish it paid and left. Save your money there’s plenty of other places.
This place has good food, good drinks, and great staff. Sarie was there the first night I went and good god that woman is amazing at her job. She was bussing tables, slinging drinks, taking orders, and serving food. On a busy Sunday night she was everywhere and was kind, efficient, and doing great in a stressful situation. Whatever you pay here, she deserves double at least. That kind of effort is rare and valuable. She needs to be payed accordingly. The second night Cassidy was there along with Sarie and they are the actual dream team. Once again the food was great, the drinks were exactly right and the vibes were great. Cassidy was very good at bartending and serving and the two of them made a full house feel like light work. Keep those two as long as you possibly can!

The bar was fine and chill. The band that came on later destroyed the chill vibe, it was way too loud for a small bar.
