Visited this place for their Pokemon speakeasy. While the interior was nice and we got free Pokemon cards, the drinks were half-decent at best and we had to wait quite a while for the speakeasy. I definitely think it was a bit overhyped, and I hope the cocktails are of a higher quality next time around.

Enjoyed dinner and some drinks here late night. The food was excellent, and the service was fantastic, both quick and friendly. The atmosphere was great, warm and fun, not so loud you couldn't hold a conversation without yelling. Overall, a great place to sit and enjoy a meal, or some drinks.

Been to San Diego several times for conferences and always go to Union Kitchen. The atmosphere, drinks, and food are next level. Bar staff are great and you never have an empty glass. I’ve had the meatball appetizer and would highly recommend it. Steak frites are great and definitely get the nachos. Put this on your list to try when in San Diego.
