20 Best Gastropubs in San Diego

“One of my favorite local places to eat! Great beer, and great people 🍻“

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

“Bayside Landing has such a fun, casual neighborhood atmosphere and a menu with a surprising amount of variety. It has that comfortable local gastropub feel where you can grab a drink, watch a game, share some food, and easily hang out for a while.

We started with the crispy pickle fries and also tried the teriyaki plate, fish and chips, pear and Manchego salad, and mac & cheese pizza. The teriyaki plate is their top-selling dish, and after trying it, we could see why. We also learned that even British customers regularly rave about their fish and chips, which feels like a pretty solid endorsement! The pear and Manchego salad was a great lighter contrast to some of the richer dishes, while the mac & cheese pizza was indulgent comfort food and one of the most unique things we tried.

The service was another highlight of our visit. The husband-and-wife manager duo were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and personable, and really made us feel taken care of throughout our meal. That kind of hospitality fits the friendly neighborhood atmosphere perfectly.

Great food, relaxed ambiance, and genuinely warm service. We would happily come back!“

“Wow, what an incredible experience! From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The ambiance is gorgeous, and the attentive staff and standout food match the setting perfectly. Don't skip the broccoli side dish it is absolute fire. A must-visit spot!“

“Great service! Jas and Deanna were so nice and friendly. Gotta try the Brussel sprouts.“

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

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

“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.“

“Pricey. Go for the cheaper deals from 3-5 PM on weekdays. I typically get fish and chips for $6. Otherwise, I get the ahi tuna sandwich, fries, and a lemonade for $16. The lemonade is the most notable for me, a great refresher on a hot day. The sandwich is delicious, although I would love more seaweed. As for the fries? They’re on the salty side, and tend to burn.“

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

“wonderful service, warm friendly atmosphere 😀“

“My wife and I stumbled upon Majorette while exploring Rolando Village. It looks like a dive bar, but it has a really good beer selection and great food. I'm a fried chicken sandwich snob, and it doesn't get much better than their fried chicken thigh sando. The only real option for my wife (who is vegetarian) was the grilled cheese sandwich. While it was delicious, it would be nice if they would at least offer an Impossible burger substitute for their smash burger. I also wish they were open for lunch instead of just dinner, but such is life. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Good food. Great service !“

“We were in town for the long weekend and are so glad we found Curryosity! The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was warm and pleasant. Everything came together to make it a fantastic dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“This place is an awesome hang out spot! Everyone is pretty nice there, it’s pretty affordable and really fun!

However, the VIP karaoke room could use a new sound system as the music was super quiet and we could barely hear it. Still really fun though!

Definitely recommend if you want a fun place to hang out!“
