Wow, these benedicts are good and the hollandaise sauce was really good. Other times I've come here the sauce wasn't really good but this time it was awesome. I would really come back back to try this again and would really recommend this 👌.

My favorite local! The food is always good and they offer a good variety, the service is super friendly, great atmosphere - especially when they decorate for Halloween and Christmas! I've been a regular here for nearly 5 years and on my last night in town they took such good care of me, it's a fantastic spot.

Food was very good; I got the Tennessee hot chicken sandwich and would definitely order again. The wife got some gochujang wings and they were delicious!

Great beer selection and looks like a great happy hour menu.
We love this place. The food is very good and the all-day Happy Hour on Monday is great! The location is awesome. There are indoor and outdoor seats. We will be back!
Amazingggg food! The Gochujang wings were fantastic, super crispy. They weren’t at all spicy like it says but the flavor made up for it.

Great find! We randomly popped in after an event in Balboa Park. My husband got the poke bowl and I got the hummus plate. Both were amazing. Service was great - feel like an urban corner bar but not a dive.

Great neighborhood pub for locals and visitors.
Kid-friendliness: Okay for kids during day but certainly an adult place during night.

Came here to grab a drink and some appetizers. We enjoyed the variety of appetizers and appreciated the extensive beer tap list. The food was 4-stars only because we didn't venture into the entrees (definitely planning on coming back). The service was great. Despite the bar being busy with football viewers, the bartender stayed very attentive to us sitting at a table. The atmosphere was a little loud due to the football game, but still a very enjoyable place that will stay on the list!
