“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“Haven't been here in years! Met up with friends for dinner on a Saturday evening and there were lots of open tables on their patio. All the tables against the Japanese pond were reserved.

I ordered the Salmon and quinoa dish and it was pretty good. The portion was a good size. We also ordered the carne asada fries appetizer and I really liked that one too. We don't recommend the Pastrami plate though. It was fatty and falling apart. But the side salad substitution for fries was delicious.

Forgot our server's name but he was great. I couldn't decide on a couple of beers and he offered to give me samples before I ordered. He also took great care of us all evening.“

“This restaurant is located in Mission Valley Mall, a less popular shopping center with relatively low foot traffic, but it offers a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great spot for those who enjoy spacious settings, watching sports games, or bringing their pets. The patio is super large, and there’s an oversized TV outdoors for watching games. The cheese balls are highly recommended—they taste amazing! The Novo burger and Poke nachos are also quite good. The nachos come in colorful varieties and offer bottomless refills.“

“There is no better spot for Cider in North Park (if not the WORLD) than Bivouac. A cozy campout aesthetic ran by the CiderQueen of SD herself, and a warm and hospitable staff to boot! The food and cider options are immense, with a delightful rotation of ciders to keep things adventurous! I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again - if I could give Biv a SIX out of Five, I would!“

“Finally made the trek to PB for an epic watch party.

Surprisingly fun sports bar that offers up great eats and refreshing drinks.

With a wide variety of beers on tap, the bartenders keep it flowing all day long, especially during game days.

The servers provide excellent service! Dina helped me out and was always checking in on me and my friend. Mich appreciated.

With a good amount of big screen TVs, raffles and shota after each score, it's definitely a fun time.

Respectful crowd, family and pet friendly, the only thing missing is parking! I don't knock them for it since it's not their fault.

There is tons of parking available but beware as you do have to pay the meters on Sundays now starting at 10am... Not a big problem, I just hopped down to another meter once my time was up, which just happened to be halftime.

I'll be back again for sure.

Thanks for a memorable day!

Go Lions!“

A very nice way to while away an afternoon playing their games and enjoying the cool breeze. Highly recommended.“

Longball Cocktail Club & Golf Simulator Bar • $$
4026 Hawk St A, San Diego

“Had a 50th birthday party at Longball and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Had to find a location last minute because our original venue flaked out, and I’m SO glad they did! Daniel responded to my inquiry immediately and invited me to the bar to talk and try out some of the amazing cocktails. He worked with me and suggested everything from decorations to food vendors. It’s so hard to find an open, honest, CARING establishment these days, but Daniel, Caroline and Demetri are just that!

We had around 50 people at the party, but we easily could have had 100 and be completely comfortable. The bar seating is great. The tables inside are great, the Leather furniture and all the televisions are great. The outdoor patio is great. And the simulator… you guessed it, GREAT!

Everyone was SO accommodating from the get go. After I confirmed that we wanted to book with Daniel, Caroline was immediately in touch to iron out the details, choosing the cocktails to offer, time frames for set up/tear down, food options, decorations and my favorite part, the customized drink menus. So cool! We had everything finalized within 3 days.

Everyone at the party LOVED the venue. The sound level was perfect, Demetri and Caroline behind the bar were amazing, and Daniel spent a lot of time walking around talking to everyone, making sure everyone was happy and even taking orders and delivering cocktails for those high maintenance friends 🤣 Bottom line, everyone had SUCH a fun time, and were talking about it all week afterwards. 2 friends even like it so much that they are most likely going to book their kids’ graduation parties there in the Spring!

I could go on for days, but I’m just going to leave it at this: if you’re having a party, you need to do it at Longball. Period.“

“The team who works here is amazing. The beer has depth and character and the Hazy's.... OMG! Top notch! It is a San Diego must see/taste brewery. One thing that stands out as well is that the have sours but not traditional ones. They are not sour at all, more like a fruit drink. I can now bring my non beer loving friends with me and enjoy. There are two other breweries attached to this one as well. Three breweries who all have specialties so whatever type of beer you like you will find it it.“
