23 Best Gastropubs in San Diego

“Mastiff Kitchen is located inside North Park Beer.

The beer at North Park is super good! Great selection of hazys.

I ordered shoe string fries for $7 to pair our food. Fries were good. Nothing too crazy. A bit on the pricier side for how much we received. Still, it is great to have food options inside the brewery.

We found street parking a few blocks away. I'll definitely try other items on the menu next time!“

“The staff is really what makes this place. Im an avid music lover, so the cuban band made it feel like a little vacation. The food was great ( had the pot pie and brie) The bartender was kind, and its owned by a husband and wife, no big corporate owners/groups. The decor is fabulous, lots of attention to detail. it feels very intimate, nice place for an event! highly recommend“

“Beat experience in a long time. Highly recommended.“

“Go the Duck Tacos and checkout the voodoo/ black magic background“

“My wife and I stopped in for a brunch cocktail, staff was very friendly and very accommodating.

Football games were on, volume on one game, which I appreciate.

Wasn't too busy on a football Sunday, although very early in the day, could be a hidden gem for the 10 o'clock games.

Brunch menu looked great, will be back for sure.“

“I'd been here before, my expectations were low, but they've improved greatly. It's now a premium quality restaurant with a lounge atmosphere, complete with the loud TVs and presentation of the check on a plain clipboard. Everything screams sports bar, yet i got a steak dish with a spectacular flavor profile worthy of top restaurants. The cook tender toward rare, they got a second chance at it because of the rest of the flavors. Beer selections were decent, with ample coverage of flavors. Wine selection was very meager, the barrel in the name doesn't refer to wine, no miracles here. It was also refreshing that the help didn't cart around the garbage cart to pick up the spent dishes, kudos for keeping the unsightly refuse out of my face while I'm enjoying my meal.“

“Very tasty beverages. Nice big ice cubes, made from tasty water. Friendly staff, and a back room shrouded in mystery...“

“Outstanding venue. First time visiting the establishment for lunch with some co-workers and I will be back for a more social setting!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and the staff is the best.“

“Very Fresh Sushi !!! Repeat Fresh“

“Zanzibar is a chill above average (for price center) restaraunt. Decent selection if you are not concerned with your health and you eat meat. There is plenty of seating that can accommodate groups of 5 or more. It's an ideal location to host a lab lunch or host some visiting academics.“

“Our visit to Bayside landing was great! Amazing vibe and eveey was very friendly. We were promptly attended by our waitress stella, and she was AWESOME! Gave us a quick rundown of the menú and brought out our drinks fast and always with a smile. Our food was delicious, and my burger was cooked the way I asked. Stella constantly checked on us, and oh btw..huge plus on this. The beer was ICE COLD. It was not cold or fresh, but ice cold, and that made me very happy. It's definitely a place where a lot of locals congregate, but those spots are always the best, if you're in PB this is a great place to chill, have good food, drinks and make new friends!“

“Great beer and operated by a retired SCPO! Gotta try the HONCH Apple Seltzer! It’s the closest I’ve had to a CHUHI since I PCS’d out of Japan in ‘95! I’ll be stopping by whenever I am in San Diego from now on!“

“Majorette is such a great local spot. With delicious food, a great natural wine selection, tons of beer options, & free pool, you truly can’t go wrong. The staff is friendly & helpful. Although it’s a dive bar, it has a homey feel. Highly recommend visiting, and definitely trying a smash burger!“

“wonderful service, warm friendly atmosphere 😀“

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

“Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, food is savory and fresh!“

“Good food. Great service !“

“Fantastic staff and the food was delicious!!“

“Pretty delightful spot to watch a game or holler at the top your lungs at the sports ball. Guinness of course as a debonair gentleman does. Emily is a charming young lady, Maddy & Natalie (not to be confused with Natalia) are cool teux. I’ll be back!“

“We came upon this place while looking for a new place to eat while visiting from west Texas, and we were not disappointed! We got the green coconut curry, butter chicken, mussels, cheese naan, and gulab jamun as well as nimbu pani and spice on ice tea. Everything was flavorful and delicious with very generous servings for the price (although I wish we got just a little more rice). Next time we are in town I definitely want to dine in.“

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

“Super cool spot to hang out during the week or special events! It works great for big gathering. We tried the karaoke room it was very small but it was also very fun & functional we were allowed to eat &drink in there. I had a blast & will definitely be back. The problem in the beginning is we spent over 10 minutes waiting for help & the front desk. The spot was not busy on a Sunday evening...however no one was literally around anywhere! We had to go deep inside to find a random worker over at the bowling shoes station ?‍♂️ well forgiven cause drinks were awesome ! Super different, everything is aesthetic & also the service after that was awesome!“
