We had the pleasure of visiting this bar last year during our road trip from Nevada through California, Arizona, and Utah – and it truly became one of the highlights of our journey. What made this place so special wasn’t just the drinks, but the people. We had the most wonderful and inspiring conversations with the owner and his daughter about politics, society, the USA, and Germany.
From the very first moment, we felt less like guests and more like family. Their warmth and genuine kindness touched us deeply, and they even invited us to come back again. Sadly, we had to leave for Arizona the very next day, but this bar and the amazing people we met there will always stay in our hearts.
We sincerely hope to return one day and share more moments together. Wishing you all the best and sending warm greetings from Germany!

**No Alcohol / Beer Pub Only** Jamie was the girl behind the bar & it was free pool day which was exactly what my just turned 21 yo son & I wanted to do. We played several rounds of pool & had Shocktop draft & overall it was mellow & chill during that time of day which we appreciated. I will say I'm not sure about food service here. I know when we searched for a nearby place for quick games of pool Maps lists it with photos of food 🤷🏼♀️ I can say there was not a kitchen at this location; however the original location located in La Mesa may have a kitchen although I don't remember cuz it was evening & I got pretty tipsy while there 😆 luckily we got an Uber 👍🏼
***Update about location (04/10/25)*** Okie dokie so, again my age appropriate son & I headed over to this location for round or two of pool. While playing, we noticed a lil lady walking in from the back area outside with plates of food & placing them in front of the patrons sitting at the bar!! I know riiiiiight?! So we got up from our game & proceeded to follow her when low&behold 🥳 we found a nifty lil corner hutch setup with full grill & a menu of listed food items (no worries I took photos). We were stoked!! You'll find the photos included 👍🏻👍🏻 and I gotta say the wings are NORMAL SIZE not them mini weird wannabe chicken wings like everywhere else [& the $$ for everything is unbeatable] ☺️💪🏻🍺🌮🍗🍔🥪🥗🍻🍹🥃

Deano’s Pub East brings the fun, the flavor, and the local love! We’re always stoked to have them as a sponsor of the Santee Street Fair. Cold beer, great food, and live music — what more could you ask for? If you’re searching “best pub in Santee” or just want a spot to unwind with friends, Deano’s is the place to be. Thanks for keeping the good times rolling and for supporting our community year after year!

Finally and East County bar that isn't just flys, dive, or full of trouble. Good community, and Deano is a great soul that adds to everything this place is. Open air, sport sports sports, and beer. No hard liquor yet.

What an amazing place, the atmosphere and vibe here are amazing. Bartenders are friendly beer is COLD, and the locals are fun and inviting. I went in to just check out the changes, and I am impressed! Sports, music, and pool tables. You couldn't ask for more. A few weeks later, it was still amazing!

Such a change from the previous bar, Hi-C-Era. Redid the interior in three days and the bartenders are so sweet. The “vibes” are fun light and happy. Also, this bar is ran by Deanos family. I will be returning to support this new upcoming family business.
