Outstanding venue. First time visiting the establishment for lunch with some co-workers and I will be back for a more social setting!
We had lunch with my wife today at this place, and let me tell you, the food was amazing, the place looks great on the inside ( can’t talk much about the atmosphere,because we literally show up almost as soon as they opened for the day so it was empty), but the food ( once again) is to die for, not lie, so so good. Very impressed! 10/10 I’ll recommend it.
I love the happy hour here. Several TVs for Padres games. Amazing appetizers

Common Theory is a cozy and unique restaurant where the vibe combines a lounge and library feel. The service is prompt and attentive, and the food often exceeds expectations. The kitchen offers delicious meals like the Mac & Cheese and the birria on Tuesdays. It is also a popular spot for craft brew enthusiasts with a great selection of beers, including a variety of sours, kombucha, and ciders. The place is upscale for a beer-centric venue, with plenty of large tables and options for groups. Customers appreciate the decent happy hour prices, like $6 beers until 6 PM, and the pretzel bites and flatbread are highly recommended. The atmosphere is enhanced by trivia nights and classic rock music, making it a great spot for a night out. However, the parking lot is tight and limited, so visitors should be mindful when driving. Overall, it’s a great place to feel at home away from home, especially when looking for a comfortable spot to enjoy a variety of craft drinks and tasty meals.
