50 Best Sports Bars near National City

“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.“

“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 and drinks! The service is superb!“

“Nice place, all staff nice guys , Every time we go we have a great time“

“Off to mission valley an visit to yard house restaurant. I met a few friends at the yard house restaurant for a birthday lunch. Menu was large with many great choices. I ordered a BBQ chicken salad- it not only looked great, but tasted great too. My friends had a taco plate, fish and chips, an a chicken dish- all of which also lookes great! Prices were reasonable too. If you're interested the area, stop by an grab a bite!“

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

“These are not just your average wings! Phenomenal and in my humble opinion the best in San Diego. Honorable mention to the smash burger, so good. One thing to know about this place though, extremely loud. The TVs speakers are blasting inside.“

“Great burgers. Outstanding customer service“

“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!!“

“Home away from home. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“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.“

“Great bar. They have pool tables, plenty of TVs, food, and cold beer. I've never had a problem with the service, they've always been really nice. There's not a lot of options in the mission valley area for a bar and grill type of place and out of all of them I really enjoy this place the best.“

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

“Buenos momentos en el bar…..“

“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 😋😉“

“whiskey & pinball...nuff said“

“Great food fast and yummy.“

“I came in to try the $2.50 steak from a coupon I got in the mail. Love this place. Very nice bathroom for a dive bar. The bartender Shay is 24, gorgeous and friendly. I will be a regular. Kudos to the cook Tino. Food was fantastic and very inexpensive. The steak was good and usually sells for $14. Dailv specials. Come anytime and meet some new friends.“

“My partner and I have been here a few times and it's always such a blast. As soon as we walk in we're greeted by the human embodiment of a ray of sunshine, Annika the hostess. The drinks and food are delicious and a great deal, the vibes are always right, and they always have the best games on. Definitely recommend!“

“Great food and beer 🍺 kid friendly ❤️“

“K1 is great fun for the family. Clean, good, competitive fun.“

“Always an excellent experience“

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

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

“Great local hangout!!! Great food!!!“

“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.“

“🙂👍 Rihanna does a great job!“

“We are from out of town and decided to stop by since it’s close to our rental. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is so good and the service is amazing. I ordered “To The Bitter End” that was created by our bartender, Janeli. That drink is fantastic and she (Janeli) took great care of us. My husband had been traveling all day and was so hungry. We are so glad we stopped in. Thank you so much!“

“Best place to watch the Buckeyes!“

“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.“

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

“The OFF SHORE TAVERN AND GRILL located on Morena Blvd in Bayshore San Diego is very good place. All of the staff are exceptional. MGRs have welcomed me & all others since day one and continue to provide fantastic service. Doug & Dan just could not try harder to make this establishment succeed any better. Them and all the servers could receive a higher rating as personable and attentive people. They ALL make Everybody welcome . Major Kudos to Doug, Dan, Ramy and ALL of the crew“

“Good atmosphere!!!! Great people so much fun!“

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

“Great please to get charged“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Love their food & drinks 😊“

“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 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!“

“Good food, reasonable price, friendly servers“

“This is the first time I’ve been somewhere quite like this. It’s a classic brewery and restaurant but it’s set in a massive space with multiple seating sections with large, excellent quality TVs. Beyond burger was a little uninspired but that’s my fault for getting something uninspiring. The beer was good, especially the coconut haze, and the spot looks like it would be electric during a major sporting event. I ended up watching curling. :-)“

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

“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.

Chris“

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

“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 🤙🏼“

“A cozy and community focused experience nestled in little ol' North Park known for it's impeccable vibes and open-mic karaoke. You want a brave patron to bust out their kazoo for a musical break down in a song their singing? You want some SCRUMPTIOUS wings with a side of random conversations about philosophy? You want an LGTBQ friendly neighborhood bar to sing and drink your worries away? Stop on by! Karaoke starts at 7pm every night and make sure to get their early cuz the queue fills up quick! Not to mention their open-ceiling back patio with both a smoking and non-smoking section, exceptional staff and security (always tip your bartenders!), and great karaoke stage. Come on by and sing along!“
