“Loved the bar. Went for one of the whiskey experiences on a Wednesday night. Loved the presentation and the tasting.They start the tasting with an old fashioned. Afterwards went to the bar and had a whiskey sour which was delicious as well.“
“Really fun atmosphere with great food! As busy as they were, the service was higher than I expected so kudos to the staff. Food was amaaaaazing. Cocktails were great too. We had the garlic spicy wings and their house special friend rice - a must try!!“
“You know how usually when you go to a new place and try, like, 4 things, usually 2 are ok, 1 is kinda bad, and 1 is pretty good? That did not happen here. All 4 things (shakshuka, Nashville chicken & waffle, Vietnamese coffee French toast & Cesar Brussels) were AMAZING. Seriously some of the best food we've had in a while. Bloody Mary on point, too!“
“This is one of my new favorites. Great burgers, great atmosphere, and overall very pleasant experience. I have gotten burgers delivered several times and have always enjoyed them but this was my first time in. Place is small but very homey and inviting. The server who I think was also the owner, was pleasant and made us feel right at home. There were four of us and we all got burgers except for one of us and she got a homemade mac and cheese. Lots of great stuff on the menu, but the hits were the burgers. First of all you start out with the type of ground meat you would like, then the the weight starting at a third pound up to three quarters of a pound, then lots of toppings or what I called innings to go either on top of your burger or inside your burger. The toppings or innings are endless everything from the basic typical burger stuff to some pretty exotic stuff. They are Char-Broil burgers. Looks like all burgers come with one side and not just french fries there seemed to have been about 7 or 8 different things you could get on the side. Food was quick and hot presented well and delicious. They had what seemed to be an extensive bourbon selection, but none of us were drinking. But the walls were filled with lots of liquor. The owner/server, had a couple chihuahuas running around greeting people as well. Don't let this sway you from not going in, they were very pleasant very clean and very happy dogs making it feel even homeier. I would imagine if it's really busy the puppies do not have free roam. But it was a very nice addition. Someone else brought in their dog later as well. I was very happy as the three people I brought with me were from out of town and they raved about it as well. I am certain that the next time they are in town and want a burger that is where we are going. Very happy that they are close to me as I will be back again soon and tell others as well. A word of caution is that this place is upstairs and does not seem to be accessible to wheelchairs, however, there is a small dining room downstairs as well and I would be willing to bet that you can get served down there as well. The bonus to being upstairs is that we went just before sunset and had a wonderful view of that as well. Give this place a try if you like Char-Broil burgers and good atmosphere. There is a lot of other stuff on the menu so even if you got friends that you're going with that don't want a burger there's plenty of Americana fare to choose from. This place is good for kids there is a child's menu.“
“Went here after a padres game. Had read some of the reviews. I had a gentleman whiskey old fashioned. Ordered the fries and chorizo Mac and cheese. Drink was great, a healthy pour. Good was great as well, although I wished they would add some parmesean to the fries. Service was great, our server kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. The whiskey list was incredible.“
“We have recently returned from a fabulous holiday in San Diego and have loved the great atmosphere and friendly welcome in the Salt & Whiskey Bar whilst residing at the Horton Grand.The cocktails from Tyler and Mike are delicious and the two hosts Ruby and Beth are very friendly creating a perfect ambiance.We were lucky to listen to Alejandro and some guest singers making a wonderful jazz atmosphere.On arrival on our first night Victor was on hand to provide some tips and guidance alongside a friendly smile and during the day time Robert on the door was also happy to chat and give local recommendations. The bar really is a must if staying in the Gas Lamp area as full of charm and well managed by Roberta.“
“I went on Monday and it was such a fun experience! The lovely bartender made the most refreshing margaritas, and the last word was perfectly balanced. She was very helpful and patient with it being our first time and birthdays. We had such a great time we stayed into the next shift, and the crew was equally as amazing and helpful. Thanks y'all !“
