Great place for drinks and food. Came after a Padres game and was served promptly. We had ubered to Downtown so we had no issues with parking. The BLT with house made chips is so good and the Knotty Burger with tater tots was made perfectly. The waitress was really nice and attentive, a really nice experience overall.

Great local spot! It may be referred to as an east village location but it is just a few blocks from heart of Gas lamp area. $10 Bloody Marys are very tasty and a great value!

Love this place! It’s our east village spot. Excellent food options and drinks, a great outdoor venue, fun indoor bar, great service…and a fun happy hour. Monday HH was a $12 burger. See photo. If you want a single patty, I believe it’s $8….plus: They have one of the best French fries IMO.

Quaint restaurant. Good choices on the menu. Good wings, fried pickles, fish and chips, sausage and cocktails. My hiccup😔...the windows, like sliding doors, were open to the outside patio seating. It brought in a real nice breeze.😮💨 But.... If you allow smoking outside(and you have a chain smoker sitting there facing inside), and your windows are wide open to that outside patio, then smoking is allowed inside too. That nice breeze helped with that. We had to get up and slightly close the door without seeming rude. When you don't smoke the constant smell of cigarettes can be nauseating, cause a headache. (There were no other tables available to fit our party).

Food is okay at best and menu never changes. Service is always pretty good and it’s generally a good vibe/decent beer options.

Ordered a drink with tajin and the bartender rolled his eyes. Won’t be coming here after that attitude.

This was truly one of my favorite places to unwind after class. The customer service here is not only extremely friendly but also welcoming and engaging. It always felt like a warm and inviting spot to relax. I wholeheartedly recommend the Knotty Barrel for anyone looking to enjoy a fun and laid-back atmosphere.

I wanted a COLD beer 🍺 because I had been walking it was hot outside and needed to cool off. The beer I got was warm and I mentioned it to the bartender and he did nothing about it. I will not recommend going there.

If you’re a fan of pickles def check this place out. Pickle beer and pickle bloodies.
It's a friendly Brewery with a hometown feel. The Amber Lager was excellent.

This place is not great when it comes to food. I went with family after a ball game and ordered beer and wings. The wings were sent to the wrong table where a man died on my order and left. When the server realized she made a mistake she brought me out my wings. I paid and left not realizing that she made me pay for the mistake she made. I called back and asked to be refunded my tip and the wings. They refunded the wings only. I wonder how typical it is for these servers to not be account for their mistakes and have unsuspecting customers pay so they avoid correcting the issue. Where is my tip money? I don’t tip incompetence and people who clearly screw over customers to cover up their mistakes.
