Went here on PRIDE the patrons were AMAZING. Really great. The security guard was fantastic, really professional and still friendly this was Saturday @ like midnight. The bar service was … well it was really bad. To the point where everyone was talking about it, shocking. They clearly only wanted to serve beer. Any shot or drink requested was a huge hassle.
One group mentioned it looked like they just hired guys who used to be buff and huge in their prime and all (a word I won’t use) as bar backs for some sort of aesthetic. Could be, don’t know I wasn’t there for the aesthetic of the bar tenders but they did all seem …affected. It’s important to note EVERY other service experience during Pride was top notch - so this really stood out.
Wouldn’t have paid a cover for a beer only joint, but left because I have a spare $10 and so do my friends to preserve the vibe of the weekend.

Fun Gay Bar & Grill with a patio and daily happy hour. Full menu of Mexican food, burgers, wings, and cocktails. I had the grilled veggie salad with chicken, and it was very tasty with lots of garlic and seasonings, and a very healthy alternative to the rest of the menu!

This place is outstanding. I lost my husband of 25 years and your bartender was outstanding. He showed a level of compassion that I really needed. He was an ear and shoulder to cry on. Thank you for saving me. I think I can face the adventure without my husband

New-ish place in Hillcrest and so far it’s a great addition! Their food is good and their drinks are delicious! I really appreciate the service from both the servers and the bartenders. I’m excited to come back!

New to the area and checked out R Place, such a solid spot! First person we met was Hallo (like Hallow) super chill and welcoming. She showed us where to order and even offered to take our picture. Loved the energy right away.
Now the drinks... whew! Tito's vodka was strong and done right. We also ordered an appetizers, great portions and full of flavor.
At first, we sat up front by the entrance/street, but here's a tip: walk all the way to the back. It's massive back there, long bar, more tables, and a really beautiful setup. Totally didn't expect that. If you appreciate privacy this is it.
Shoutout to Hallo for the amazing welcome, and to the short king with the dark beard behind the bar your drinks were fire! Service overall was on point. Definitely coming back.

R Place has easily become one of my new favorite sport bars in Hillcrest! For one, the food and drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is very laid-back, but can quickly level up at night and on weekends, depending on which events are going on in the area. Secondly, I love the bartenders and staff members, here. Everyone is so courteous and polite, which is not always common depending on which bars you go to in SD. Lastly, I would say look for the weekly specials with select food and drink items because they never disappoint and you'd be surprised by the great options! I'll definitely be back to this place! Highly recommend anyone to check it out!

Looking for a place to watch Stanley cup hockey & have dinner. R Place is the place! TVs over the bar, in the back room, & a big screen on the back patio! Had the bacon cheese burger 1 night & Hillcrest Nachos another. Both are delicious, with a good amount of food. Strong drinks & friendly staff, will definately be back!

Awesome place with friendly staff, great food, good drinks, and a daily happy hour. They combined the space of two former restaurants. We had sliders, a quesadilla , and drinks. There's a notice about a pending application for live events, so we're looking forward to more good things soon.

Came here to catch a hockey game, the staff and management were so kind to us. They played the game for us and sound! We really appreciate the hospitality. We didn’t know it was HH until we arrived so that was an extra nice treat! Overall, the experience we had there was amazing, we felt like we were back home in Canada. Truly truly, appreciate the staff! Thank you again!

Tony and Demi are such a fun and friendly couple. They did a great job designing this fun place. So glad to see an LGBTQ Sports Bar owned by a gay couple. Great happy hour from 3-7 pm
