50 Best Sports Bars near Lemon Grove

“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“

“Great food and drinks! The service is superb!“

“They have a great Happy Hour! We went here to grab something to eat before our movie started at the AMC theatre next door.
Service was good. Our waiter took our orders soon after we sat down and she checked on us often. The portions were large too.“

“We had our pregame, Puerto Rican Heritage Padre, celebration there yesterday and the staff and food were AMAZING!!!!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“Good spot reasonable rate for tables but only two full-size tables and the table I played on the felt was like playing on concrete. Service was very good. Music was extremely repetitive gangster rap that I couldn't listen to for more than 30 minutes.“

“Great atmosphere and fun for everyone, especially those who don't golf. Our party of 7 had a blast with all of the different games available and it got even more fun after a few delicious cocktails ;) Would recommend to anyone looking for something fun that's casual and has great food and drinks.“

“Great atmosphere. Staff is friendly and helpful, food is great. Travis is outstanding host. Welcoming team!! Definitely recommend Bar One.“

“A San Diego institution. Neighborhood and destination bar\\lounge. Friendly staff, pool tables, stage and dance floor with live entertainment, sporting events on the bar TVs and Touchtunes jukebox. There is easy access to pizza, mexican and Foster Freeze to take-in very close by. Loved by locals for generations.“

“Home away from home. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“Met up here with some friends before going to a SDFC game at Snapdragon and then met back here after. It was busy but service was solid both before and after the game. Chicken tenders were a solid choice and good value, too. Live music was starting when we left. There's a smoking patio, too! Quality establishment.“

“atmosphere was great server was super friendly had a variety of appetizers all where off the hook definitely will revisit“

“I came here after work on a Friday night. It just so happen to be a Padres vs Dodgers game and this place was packed! I mean, for your regular local bar... it was poppin'!
Everyone had a good, positive vibe watching the game regardless of the rivalry (there was a mix of both fans here) they didn't have the jukebox playing, so it was strictly game time vibes!
But as soon as the game ended, Jaqui, the bartender at the time, turned the music UP!
Jaqui was the ONLY bartender serving the patrons all night! She not only was running around like crazy but she kept such an inviting, friendly smile the whole time! She made sure to keep a conversation going with her guests as well.
While I was here, I didn't hear of any complaints about the service. Jaqui made sure my refreshments 😜 were always full as well. She's by far the best I've seen yet!!
Overall, it's a cool bar to chill at during baseball games or even to have a night cap after work! & with Jaqui as your bartender, you'll leave here on a positive note and I bet you'll be back 😋😉“

“Buenos momentos en el bar…..“

“Great food fast and yummy.“

“Great food and beer 🍺 kid friendly ❤️“

“Good food, good service, fair prices!“

“🙂👍 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.“

“I love their chicken wings mostly, with buffalo sauce. Other recommendations include their mac n cheese, chicken alfredo, and loaded fries.“

“11 friends and I arrived for a pre-arranged event with a planned 2-12 lap 6 person qualifying (fast lap) and 1-16 lap main event. We arrived at the pre-arranged time and found several people on the track. We waited ~45 minutes for the first qualifier, had additional individuals on the track prior to our second qualifier, and again waited for others on the track prior to the main race. The qualifier times were to be combined, but weren’t. The main event went well, but at least one more flagger would have allowed less issues during passing manoeuvres. Complaints aside, I would return. The carts were quick considering the track setup, and they seemed to be very similarly setup regarding acceleration/top speed. A final FYI - consider bringing your own approved helmet. The ones provided were pretty much done, and additionally poor fitting.“

“I found Angry Petes Pizza on istanstgram and had to try it out. The Pizza was good but the sauce was a little sweet for my taste. The onion rings was out of this world. looking to return soon. the Mackinaw island fudge is a plus.“

“Needed a great spot for our alumni event, and T+BEV was a great fit! From getting things setup with Michael and Robyn to the execution by Devin and the team on the day of the event, this was a wonderful experience!“

“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.“

“Best place to watch the Buckeyes!“

“Muy grata experiencia la pasamos muy bien“

“Valentin was our waiter and he is excellent, the best!“

“Best Sports bar in North Park! Food is fabulous, great drink selection, and they show soccer women’s soccer (with sound!!!)“

“good food and beer on tap“

“Great please to get charged“

“I went to the Full Circle Saloon and they played this degrading song that said “A lap dance is better when the stripper is crying. Well I find it quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.” More lyrics from this song say ” I told Bambi I wanted to skin her….. and wear her face like a mask. I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.” This is a a song appropriate for serial killers and John’s who rape sex workers who are forced by their situation to work against their will. The bartender was angry and irritated with me when I asked to him to please turn it off. Two other female workers were unconcerned. The Female owner Michelle Bailey said she will not be a song N*** and did not offer to do anything about it. Oh She said there is a guy there that likes to play this song when he plays pool. If people there accept this happening I will vote by not going there.“

“Favorite college neighborhood bar. Their natural wine selection is always on point as well as their beer selection. Food is delicious. I love that they always have seasonal menu items depending on what’s in season. Pool is free, AC kicks butt, and they have a great outdoor space if you ever did have a larger group. Dogs are also allowed which is nice if we ever wanna bring our pup.“

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

“I like the bean burritos.“

“The best food we have had my husband's dish.She said it was the best food.He's ever had a restaurant and trust me.He's very particular . We had Bourbon street chicken and the andouili sausage chicken pasta . Our food was amazing.We're having blondie, always my favorite anthony, our server and our hostess were amazing 😀❤️“

“We came here for karaoke night on a Friday. It was crowded but we were able to get our drinks fairly quick as there are two bar areas. We came in as a group and we were able to find spot for all of us to hang out. I loved the vibes as the guests were singing along. I got tater tots and fried pickles and they were tasty and reasonably priced. I would come back for karaoke night again.“

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

“great local sports bar atmosphere with variety of food and plenty of options for tv watching and drink options“

“The salad, burger and pork tacos were great! My youngest son and I love to go their. Nice tropical atmosphere too. Friendly staff“

“A highly recommended spot for watching sports, great food and relaxing atmosphere. The service is the best, friendly and knowledgeable of the food and beverages.
The pizza was incredible. Burgers- delicious and well prepared.
The comfortable sitting is like being in your living room. Great music on all the time.
VERY highly recommended for an adult evening of watching sports (60 TV's) and enjoying an adult beverages and having some really good food. The parking is a bit tight but worth it.“

“Games take a bit to get used to and pretty difficult for kiddos but as long as you're just having fun, it's fantastic! For arcade lovers, it's a great change of pace. Great assortment of options, golf, football, soccer, baseball, dodgeball, circus games. Plenty of room, didn't eat but drinks and service was great, will definitely go again!“

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

“The service is always the best and friendliest you can find. The food... prepared fresh every time is the extra wait. The atmosphere is decent enough, good waiting space for pick up orders, but the dining area could use a little reorganizing. It's kind of difficult getting by seated tables trying to refill a drink or use the restroom. By the way, they are very friendly and gracious about using their restroom... even if you're not buying anything. I'll go back to this place again and again. Thank you, Albert's.“

“we have been going to this place for years. with that said service was outstanding and the food was great as expected. I had surgery on my Right Knee and still not that comfortable sitting at bench tables. no problem here they sat us at a table with both chairs and bench. Now that is great customer service. They listened and accommodated us for lunch. Thank you Islands for paying attention to detail. we will be back . oh and if you like chicken. Try their Sandpiper. I get it every time .“

“5 out of 5 for stars.... best hidden gem in San Diego“

“Relaxed atmosphere with live entertainment, reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff“

“Great food and family friendly“

“Carlton Oaks is a gorgeous venue with a wonderful staff. Gwen is a cheerful and fun server and my new friend💃…PLUS the food is delicious!“

“Stopped in last week for a quick drink while waiting for the rest of our party. It was mid day on a monday. Very clean and extremely friendly. I wish I would have caught their names but the bartender there was very attentive and inviting. As well as the manager on duty. Very friendly and had great sense of humor. This is out of our location but would really consider coming back!“

“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.“

“A local fav! Laidback friendly atmosphere.“
