33 Best Sports Bars near Poway

“Nice addition to Scripps Ranch suburbia with good food and nice staff.
It is finally getting busier and hopefully they stick around for a while.
Wish they had happy hour as this would bring more locals in.
Parking can be a hassle on busy evenings.“

“Our go to mex restaurant…..simply the best!“

“Been going for years..Great, delicious food that tastes so good you can only expect to stuff your face 😋 It's got the flavor of the authentic BBQ w/char, beef pork and chicken meat falling off the bone ..with a perfect sauce that doesn't taste like it's full of sugar or fake ingredients..It instead tastes like years worth of perfected quality. The staff and service is also very caring and helpful, making sure everything is to your exact liking. Super!“

“I’m a mediocre pool player at best. However, my friends were excellent pool players wanted to meet up at pocket billiards and brew. The staff was really friendly and welcoming as were the patrons. The prices for pool and drinks were quite reasonable and we had an excellent time.! thank you“

“Great place! Excellent service! Delicious food!“

“Nice atmosphere with outstanding service, especially from Cameron.“

“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.“

“Can't rate the food. By the time we arrived the kitchen was closed. We had eaten beforehand. But the brewskis were great! First time here. Didn't play in the arcade. We hung out in the patio. Nice atmosphere. Honestly, when we arrived, I thought i had made a wrong turn! When you arrive, don't worry, the strip club totally threw us off too . Followed by the dry cleaning right next to it lol This place looked sketchy at first , not going to lie. It was a great night tho. There's a few pool tables inside. Games on both ends of the bar . If you're looking for a Dave n Busters vibe, this isn't it. This place is more lowkey. The introvert in me was pleased. Not overwhelming. Give this place a shot!“

“Great food great customer service and great 🍺“

“SPARKLING CLEAN. Food and beverage excellent. Half price on all spirits, wine, champagne, beer and APPETIZERS ALL DAY. There is a bar PLUS many tables, wide screens. Very nicely appointed.“

“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.“

“First time trying Burger Joint & Brew. Service was great! Everyone is extremely friendly. The burger was amazing, the fries and onion rings were fresh! The oreo shake was easily one of the best I've ever had. 10/10 would eat here many more times!!“

“Dog friendly outdoor great service good beer nice atmosphere“

“Absolutely the best BBQ food! Generous portions. Take-out was ready quickly. Amazing onion rings. 😋 The staff were great.“

“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.“

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

“Every time I go to Escondido Surfing I have a great experience and the manager is very personable!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Yesterday's early lunch at the Public House was idyllic. This spot never disappoints, in fact, with each visit I am more enchanted. The food was great. Drinks were generous, tasty and chilled and the server was phenomenal. She was friendly, sweet and efficient. She kept a close eye on our drinks and check in with us a number of times to see that we had all that we needed. A delightful lunch.“

“This place was a surprise. I went to watch the UFC fight since it was the closest place to my house showing the fight. This place may become one of my new weekend night without the kids hangout spots. Approximately 7 pool tables, good beers on tap, and a patio in the back to smoke and vape. Atmosphere was good, easy to make a few acquaintances while watching the fight and no issues. Check it out if you're in the area“

“Very friendly environment, bartenders are very nice and inviting, fun karaoke/pool/darts. Great time every time i go!“

“Kelly’s! Local go to. I love being a regular here...“

“Its a locals dive bar.. what you'd expect cheap drinks and plenty of good people to talk with. This is what I look for in bars. If you want bougie overpriced drinks and spotless atmosphere go somewhere else and save this gem for locals. Good place to enjoy a few after work and watch sports and people play pool. Bartender was quick and handled a packed place by himself. Will definitely come back.“

“Great local fun hangout, bartenders are nice, food truck was great, all you need for a good local dive bar !!“

“Food was good, I mean it's an Applebee's so it's not Michelin star stuff but hit the spot honestly. Server was super friendly though, a real gem. The manager saw me coming accross the parking lot and came over to open the door? Not something you would expect as a dude going to an Applebee's on his lunch break... felt nice. 6 stars for service.“

“They continue to keep the quality and taste of their food top notch. Appreciated!“

“I've been going to this particular location for more than 20 years. It's still good, but about a third as good as it once was. Prices up, quality down, just like everything else - I'd still choose Islands over any competing restaurant.“

“The food was good and the service was to. The drink was a little watered down.“

“🙏🍻🙌👍👌🤗✌️yes yes yes yee ha“

“Stopped by the old Applebee’s on Balboa Avenue semi-recently after years of not going to a single location. It’s not that I don’t like Applebee’s, it’s just that it’s hard to choose over some of the other better butger spots in San Diego that offer slightly elevated options at similar price points.

Im giving the Balboa Applebee’s 4/5 stars on food, 5/5 on service, and 3/5 on atmosphere—for a total of 4 flat. Of course, this is subjective, but atmospherically it’s just not really my cup of tea—big TVs, hyper-bright lights, families with small children making noise (no hate to kids at all). Service is really good, though. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and attentive (without being overbearing).

I say at the bar and ordered the Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It was a good size, with a decent amount of bacon, and a large portion of fries. It was a legitimately good sandwich—not mind-boggling, but definitely pretty tasty, pretty fresh, and cooked correctly (both chicken and bacon).

For the price, it’s slightly above average I’d say, and ranks similarly to decent diner chicken sandwiches. Atmosphere isn’t my thing. Might work for people who love sports. Service is good.“

“Great place for gathering with friends.“
