I am so grateful that the locals shared this gem with me. The Smoking Gun has a very generous happy hour from 3 to 7 on weekdays, and the best hamburger in town. They call it the Butter Burger, and it is delicious.
The staff is friendly and attentive, and it is quite the gathering spot. I think they have a late-night happy hour as well for the people in the industry. It's sort of a sports bar with great TVs, pool tables, and ping pong. It's an absolute must when you're...read full review

Based on the reviews, The Smoking Gun is a fun and laid-back spot with a solid vibe. The best burger value in San Diego is found here, with the Butter Burger being a great deal at regular price and a steal at $8 during happy hour. The salted and buttered bun is fantastic, and the patties are excellent quality and expertly seasoned. Other menu items include fried pickles, a corn skillet, a root beer float, a delicious salad with tasty chicken, the Mahi sandwich, and great tater tots. The drinks are yummy and refreshing, though some reviews mention the drink sizes could be better for the price, and game pricing can feel a little steep. The service is awesome, with friendly staff and attentive bartenders. The place has a bunch of TVs playing different games, a pool table, basketball, air hockey, and several arcade games. There is also a lot of Forrest Gump memorabilia. With great energy and a cool, laid-back atmosphere, it is a really fun spot to hang out, and happy hour is highly recommended.
