48 Best Bars near Lakeside

“I love the food at this restaurant.“

“The karaoke is wild! I’ve been here a few times now since it’s the neon moon. The staff if so cool and this is divey not douchey! As for the people, honestly while here someone paid for the entire tab of everyone in the bar. The woman running the night is the sweetest. It’s awesome to see what is has turned into.“

“Great aloha vibe, cocktail selection and live music. Perfect spot to chill with friends.“

“Retro arcade conveniently located in La Mesa. Don't drink so can't speak to the beer selection but they have a wife variety of taps. If theres a beeryou wanted to try this is a phenomenal opportunity. Played for about 45 min, 2 ppl cost $27 incl good tip. Sundays are free play all day. I'll be back“

“I picked up some ribs and a sandwich for dinner last night and the food was awesome as always. Portions were big enough that I had leftovers. Corbin O'Reilly and Vince always make me feel special!“

“My wife and I stumbled upon Majorette while exploring Rolando Village. It looks like a dive bar, but it has a really good beer selection and great food. I'm a fried chicken sandwich snob, and it doesn't get much better than their fried chicken thigh sando. The only real option for my wife (who is vegetarian) was the grilled cheese sandwich. While it was delicious, it would be nice if they would at least offer an Impossible burger substitute for their smash burger. I also wish they were open for lunch instead of just dinner, but such is life. We will definitely be back soon!“

“What a great place!! We stumbled across this place when we were out to dinner. The staff is friendly and kind. The owner Deano does all the work with the awesome bands they host on the weekends. From Country to hard rock. We haven’t heard one band we haven’t loved. If your looking for a great bar with great music this is the place. Everyone is welcome in this bar. Great atmosphere and you can even order food and eat while while you listen to fantastic music or play pool and watch sports. This is a true fabulous neighborhood bar. Come And enjoy. Char and Mark Handy“

“First time going here! I was skeptical at first because it’s a bit smaller than i’d like, but it turns out its a lot of fun and not as intimidating as the bigger places and $7 for 1 good sized beer, that’s a good deal! I will be returning soon, so much fun and they play plenty of todays hits and songs I know how to dance to, also no cover charge on Wednesdays!!“

“Casual, fun, good music, cool workers.“

“New owners who have revamped the place for the better. More lighting, better TV's and sound system. Also, great place to hang on a hot day because of the AC. Great happy hour specials and nice friendly bartenders. The have free food during special events like UFC and Boxing fights. They occasionally have food vendors mostly tacos on certain days. Don't sleep on this place!“

“I Came Here For Fundraiser Benefit For My Family Member Gabe Garza. We Appreciate The Love And Kindness From This Awesome Little Bar In Lemon Grove. I Definitely Can See Why Gabe Loved This Joint. Oh Yeah The Bar Tenders Are Hard Working & Very Kind. I Seriously Like How You Feel Welcomed Her. I Definitely Recommend This Place.“

“Visiting this fest in particular was a first for me. I thought they did a good job about having variety among vendors. It would be nice to see more authentic oktoberfest food options, although I'm new to CA so- not sure if that cuisine is here or not. Great Brat/Sausage varieties and a couple pretzel spots. That was the most I saw within Bavarian cuisine though.

Could also use some seating or public restroom Options outside of the ticketed Beirgarten areas. Overall a nice visit though.“

“Great little dive bar with awesome live music and reasonably priced drinks. Friendly staff and dedicated owner who has improved the place continually since he bought it.“

“great service.....small crowds. the best part is that they have a fuzzball table. whatever you do, do not do not play against Ms. Tracy Osborn. The women will take your soul! great bar“

“A local fav! Laidback friendly atmosphere.“

“Laidback, good wine and friendly“

“If you like whiskey then you gotta try Woodson Whiskey 🥃 🔥 Back home in Nor Cal, the liquor stores sell out same day it’s delivered and I can see why. My husband is a chef & uses it as a marinade… and let me tell you, it’s 🔥🔥🔥“

“Greatest tasting food and an open bar! Now open at 11:00 AM
You can order online, If you don't like to hooka . but if you like to hooka and play cards or domino's , or want to watch the game with good food and drinks !
this is a great spot. they even can rent this place out for parties and birthdays,receptions,etc...“

“Was ORIGINALLY disappointed because they didn't serve liquor. HOWEVER, they do have wine and 'sporty bombs', which were actually pretty tasty (shot of sake and cider). Otherwise, have domestics on draft plus a few IPA varieties (Elysian 'Spacedust' and Sculpin in bottle). The two pool tables are clean ($.75/game) and even. Although the place puts 'dive' in dive bar, the atmosphere was pretty cool! Good conversation with the other patrons there and the jukebox selection was a good variety. Look... it is not your typical downtown or PB location, but since I only live“

“Been going to Kelly's for a few years now and mad a few friends here. The ladies behind the bar are all friendly, gorgeous and good people. I never have an empty glass when at Kelly's and prices are affordable.

Kelly's has fresh popcorn but doesn't serve food. There is a Mexican Take-out next door though if you get hungry.

“If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, good people, and live music, Poway Irish Pub is the place to be. I’ve been coming here every weekend, and it never disappoints. The live bands always bring energy, the pool tables keep things fun, and it’s super easy to meet and socialize with genuinely cool people.

It’s one of those rare places where you can just relax, enjoy the music, play a few games, and feel right at home.
Definitely my go to weekend spot, highly recommend checking it out!“

“Ive been to many sushi places from SD to LA. From high-end Michelin Star restaurants to hole in the walls. I gravitate to this place the most and I keep coming back after all these years. The food is incredible, fresh ingredients, great service.
All of the above!“

“Lived in San Diego for decades. Rarely went out but always passed Chicos. Finally went there. Just found a neighborhood watering hole. Met a nice regular, a chef from the Grant. Bartender was great. Using the website, he made the unique frappe I asked for. Next it was beer for me. The selection was good and prices more than competitive. There are several pool tables and the Padre game was on the biggest screen. We'll be going back.“

“Great dive bar, easy access off and on the freeway and a great oasis on the way to magnolia to see a concert Friendly staff as well as the patrons“

“Great local bar and always a good time . Pool tables and juke box to play all your favorite songs . Love all the liquor selection they have especially Don Fulano reposado tequila. Great spot any day of the week . They also allow you to bring in outside food , tacos from across the street . Welcoming for everyone, there was people from 25 to older age group.“

Newly renovated inside and we can’t wait to show our facility to you.“

“two times coming to Main Tap Tavern, and i’m loving the vibes it gives. It’s a great place to come too when unwinding after long day at work. I enjoyed the selection of drinks and also the customer service from the bar tender named Hector. He’s a really nice guy who’s attentive and goes above and beyond for customers to have a great experience. I will keep coming back for sure.“
