We had our pregame, Puerto Rican Heritage Padre, celebration there yesterday and the staff and food were AMAZING!!!!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷
Had a couple drinks here. Bartenders are mid
I visited the Knotty Barrel while exploring San Diego and it was satisfying on every level. The bartender was friendly, the Space Dust IPA paired perfectly with the BLTA, and it was nice to just sit and watch the sights and sounds of the city while I rested and refueled for the next part of my adventure.

The $10 Bloody Marys are tasty and a great value, and the happy hour offers excellent deals like $12 burgers on Mondays and French fries considered some of the best around.
