34 Best Pubs in San Diego

“We are from out of town and decided to stop by since it’s close to our rental. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is so good and the service is amazing. I ordered “To The Bitter End” that was created by our bartender, Janeli. That drink is fantastic and she (Janeli) took great care of us. My husband had been traveling all day and was so hungry. We are so glad we stopped in. Thank you so much!“

“Haven't been here in years! Met up with friends for dinner on a Saturday evening and there were lots of open tables on their patio. All the tables against the Japanese pond were reserved.

I ordered the Salmon and quinoa dish and it was pretty good. The portion was a good size. We also ordered the carne asada fries appetizer and I really liked that one too. We don't recommend the Pastrami plate though. It was fatty and falling apart. But the side salad substitution for fries was delicious.

Forgot our server's name but he was great. I couldn't decide on a couple of beers and he offered to give me samples before I ordered. He also took great care of us all evening.“

“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“Best burger ever. Juicy and perfect, don’t mess with it. Thick slice of tomato and onion lettuce mayo and sesame bun. It’s awesome!!!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“Passed through while on tour and had to stop at the Philly bar to feel like we’re back home! Best vibes and even better staff and brews and pretzels!!! Such a great environment, wish we could have stayed longer! Can’t wait to come back :)“

“Great karaoke! Friendly staff!“

“My wife and I were in San Diego for two weeks and stopped in a couple of times. The food, drinks and especially the staff were all fantastic and we really enjoyed the game room. The day before we flew home we decided to get takeout for the flight home. We ordered one of our faves, the grilled chicken bahn mi burrito, this thing is MASSIVE. We asked if it could be wrapped in foil so we could put it in a ziplock bag to travel with us. Everybody was so happy to accommodate us and asked questions about where we were flying to. We started eating that burrito after take off and did'nt finish it until we were approaching TF Green Airport in Rhode Island three thousand miles later, that was one hell of a burrito. Thanks so much Harbor Town Pub, you're the best and we especially loved the note on our take out bag.“

“Great draft and bottle beer selections. Tom's torta is the best. Extremely highly recommended!!!“

“Was recommended by a friend, the girls & I decided to check it out for our GF's surprise B-Day gathering. Service was great. VENMO & ZELLE accepted for food orders. Good music variety, just didn't get a chance to check out the patio & pool table. It does fill up quick so it's recommended to show up early for the karaoke & parking.“

“A great place to get a drink or a snack before the theater. it's a bit expensive but that's what you should expect at Balboa Park. We arrived 45 minutes before the start of the play last Saturday and were delighted to discover they had created a heated patio where you could sip your drink.“

“I met my Comic-Con friends for a late lunch before preview night. We had to sit outside, which was fine until the sun sank low enough to hit us right in the eyes! The food and beer was first rate. I highly recommend the poke nachos and fish and chips.“

“When the waiter is from Cornwall and the manager is from Scotland it is awesome to be there with my roots.“

“the best brewery in the south bay!!! live bands and DJ are epic, you can chill or dance the night away! great options for beers and ciders!

Vegetarian options: ciders available for those who don't drink beer! like me, im vegetarian ✨️“

“Glad to find some Korean food in downtown San Diego. I’m visiting from out of town and was craving comfort food. Quite expensive for fishcake udon soup but it was good. I got the fried Mandu/gyoza because of a special. Usually I don’t buy dumplings when I eat out since they usually taste solid but never wow me. I was surprised I enjoyed them as much, of course the filling is good, but the texture stood out to me! It was so light and crispy - idk if it’s the skin or temperature they fried it but I looooved it. I just Wish they did not charge extra for kimchi, at least for the Korean dishes 😢 Service was good. Unsure if I’d come again for the traditional korean dishes, but I want to try the sushi and ofc get the dumplings. it was very clean and organized inside“

“We came here for the first time 2 years ago, and now we’re hooked! The locals are super friendly, and the food is inexpensive and good!“

“Great food, great service and cool decor. Loved the menu and the staff. Looking forward to coming back!“

“I stopped by late at night for a final pair of beers, and they really hooked it up. Rosemary, the bartender, is like the most wonderful grandma you could imagine, and I’ll definitely come back to see her next time I’m in town. We arrived very late on a Thursday, and they took great care of us. The place truly embodies everything you’d hope for from a genuine Irish pub!“

“Patrick's is a fun place. We've now been for Karaoke night, when they had live music, and just to hang on our way to the baseball game. It's such a good time. Drinks are cold. Lexi is amazing- so attentive and friendly! I highly recommend checking this place out. Also, order their house peanut butter whiskey shot!“

“Great place for a drink and quick snack after work.“

“5 out of 5 for stars.... best hidden gem in San Diego“

“When I worked there I would hoist the flag first thing every morning. In the evening the commander and I would retire the colors, fold them neatly and shake hands“

“The restaurant has a great location overlooking the beach. Food is also really tasty. The chicken strips are really good if you like coconut and the tuna tartare was delicious. They also have a nice beer selection and drink menu. Service left something to be desired, but overall I liked the restaurant and plan to be back again“
