Great bar we happened to stop by for beer and snacks! MUST try/Highly recommend the cheese curds and jalapeños! By far/hands down the best batter I’ve ever eaten with cheese curds/jalapeños! Absolutely worth ordering!! 10 🌟

If you’re tired of the pretense and touristic nature of much of the Gaslamp, try Knotty Barrel.
KB is an old school, neighborhood gastropub with great burgers, fries, wings, and beer.
Mike Truty was with us and he went on one of his anti-ocean rants. I mean, I like the guy but who is actually _against_ the ocean?
I really can’t stress the fries enough. They are thin and crispy and super delicious. Try and sit in Robbie’s section. He’s funny and cool.

Only able to have a drink but had to say the staff was excellent, friendly, helpful and hospitable. Others said food was good! If you are ever looking for a group gathering spot it’s a worthy choice. If anything check out the unique urinals just don’t tap them 😳😂

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.
