If I could give this place a 10/5, I absolutely would. Amazing little (dog friendly) dive with a super friendly staff (looking at you, Thaddeus and Carly) - AND they carry Jeppson's Malort!
If you're not coming here, you're doing the wrong things in San Diego. Seriously.

Live wire would be the best beer ever if they opened regularly at 4p instead of 5p

This is one of the best bars in the country, doubly so if you love craft beer (oh, you know, just multiple Russian River beers on extremely well-kept draft lines). Divey feel, but not quite a dive, as there is a touch of sophistication in its beer and liquor choices, but also completely lacking pretention. Pool table. Solid jukebox with a great variation in tunes. The place clearly cultivates a dedicated local crowd. If I were local, I'd be a regular, too.

Don't go if you're black. Went to this place years ago and they were playing bingo on like a Saturday. When it came up, they asked for n's... then after no one had that letter they looked at me and laughed saying, 'no n's'. This was back in like 6 yrs ago but will never forget.

Bouncer was very cruel and offensive. Ruined our night
Small cool impressive dive bar off of El Cajon Blvd. a lot of beers on tap. Pool tables and old jukebox as well. Looks like it could get crowded on a Friday or Saturday night, but that's what a dive bars are all about!

My favorite local bar. It just seems to attract good people and the staff are great.
