Simply the best spot in Gas Lamp! Where do I start!? First the Vibes are the absolute Best! Mike is the face of the front door! Super warm and welcoming. Ron our Bartender is super friendly and makes the best drinks hands down. If you’re looking for a “authentic” “real feel” chill laid back San Diego Vibe, this is the place! Trust.

Smoking Gun has been our go-to spot for years! The atmosphere is always lively and chill, and the people make it even better. Whether you’re playing a game of pool or heading to the arcade room, there’s always something fun to do. The music is a bit random, but adds to the charm. Drinks are decent, the beer selection is solid, and the food never disappoints. Overall, my friends and I absolutely recommend this place. Definitely worth checking out!

4pm and not busy… I wonder why?!!?
Let’s start off with the warm plastic fake cup they serve their drafts in that suddenly warm my beer up in less than two minutes. Not cool man. With the competition of being located in the gas lamp district you would think they would actually care or put up some kind of a fight to keep up with the competition, this establishment is not worthy of popping up on my google search as a “barbecue restaurant!” Weak by all means. Next let’s talk about the kiddy trays they are trying to serve with child size portions of a soup dish that they try to pass as “smoked brisket…”. NOT EVEN CLOSE- THE TEXTURE ALONE MADE ME WANT TO VOMIT ON CONTACT WITH A MAC AND CHEESE SLOP FOLLOWED WITH A WHOLE DOUBLE SHOT OF BUTTER WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS IF YOU ARE IN BUSINESS TO TURN A PROFIT AND I BET THE WASTE ACCUMULATED FROM CUSTOMERS BARELY USING 1/10 OF IT AND THEN DISCARDING THE REST IS COMPLETELY AN ISSUE FOR RETHINKING. We returned the fatty brisket plate back just to be uncomfortably confronted by the waitress because the chef wants to know exactly what part about their smoked brisket “hoppy meal,” I didn’t like. LETS SEE… I was completely polite and honest because I thought that is what they wanted- some honest feedback- but abruptly confronted by the cook- he angrily snatched the rest of our plates from the table in front of us while taking care of the bill. My wife said, oh my gosh they are aggressive and rude! She wouldn’t allow me to leave a gratuity, and we left from there while we could. I do NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, instead I believe they need a serious BAR RESCUE!!! This place should really receive a zero review, the only good thing to look forward to is them being out of business soon.

Cute place to have a bite to eat and a drink. Sick little arcade in the back and even a photo booth to take pics with friends and loved ones.

Seems like a pretty cool place, just had drinks and food. A little on the expensive side compared to others. I don’t recommend the chix sandwich, wasn’t good. Fries were unique and good though!

Here for a work event. The staff was amazing - personable, professional and on top of everything. Only sampled a little of the buffet but what I had was great. I'd love to come back and try more
This place is awesome. Shuffleboard and good left over food for my friends when people abandon their table.

This place needs to clean house from top to bottom, starting with the manager. The staff is unfriendly and combative. They could not care less about level of service. Unwelcoming stink faces from behind the bar and the hostesses were not friendly at all.
