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.

Simply put, the best! We simply do not come to San Diego without going to Knotty Barrel.

Im in town for a conference, i rode past this place all week. I decided to stop in to try the beer and food at the end of my conference. 1. Beer was excellent, Taylor was such a great beer-tender. She was constantly moving but very attentive. Very knowledgeable on the beers. 2. Next to me another customer had fish and chips, so I decided to order that. AMAZING! SO mad I for l forgot to take a Pic. The tartar with malt vinegar is the most amazing combination. Stop in the vibes are fun.

Great selection of beers. Even had some dark selections. My favorite is Schwartz Bier. I liked their food choices. I went with the fish and chips and enjoyed it. Bartender had a good knowledge of beers and even brought me a taster he thought I might enjoy. Great location! GREAT beer! I’ll be back.

Great bar for a cold beer or a snack. They have happy hour specials. Large beer selection and a full bar. They have a few vegetarian options so there’s always something to eat. TVs everywhere. Second bar wi th table games and multiple outside seating areas. In the heart of downtown

We were planning on going to Knotty Brewing but their tap room was closed (they will be open on Fridays and weekends when the baseball season starts, so we were told). So, we had beer and food at Knotty Barrel. Great and friendly service! They have a large menu and food was great with large portions. They also have a large selection of beers, including those from Knotty Brewing. They even had Pliny the Elder on tap! Highly recommend this place! p.s., You can bring your dogs as well.

Good happy hour for drinks. They have a few food options. Service was really good. On Thursdays they have trivia packing the place. Tons of fun. They have half of bottles of wine too. Cubano sandwich was delicious. Great sports bar.
Great food!! Weekend brunch is excellent!! We've had the French toast 5 star, the chiliquiles, 5 star and today the country fried steak and eggs, the bomb!! Not sure what's in the gravy just wish I could make it taste like that at home!!
