“Your normal local dive bar.Crowd can be a little so so, however tends to not ever be packed.There was always some sort of celebration that would have a potluck, they were always friendly enough to ask you if you wanted to join.We would go for our quite date nights. Round 8 ish to 10 maybe 11. Pool, cheap drinks, interesting people watching and comfy clothes never stood out.“

“Fun atmosphere, fun drinks and great staff!“

“I had an early dinner with my partner. We had a reserved table on the patio and the weather was perfect. We were warmly greeted by all the staff and made to feel welcome. 0ur waitress/server was so nice and made our evening so special. Several of the staff checked in on as as well and had pleasant conversations. The food/drinks were delicious and very prompt. It was so good we ordered a second serving! The prices were modest and we felt really good about our evening out. I recommend Happy Medium and will be a repeat customer.“

“Hated that my friend who was over fifty was refused to be served bec she forgot her ID. Really guys. I get the need to card ppl but at some point it is more flattering then necessary.“

“What a fantastic place! Food was excellent and great proportions, likely the best flatbread I’ve ever had. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and will return if in the area again.“

“Great all around dining experience.“

“We went in on a Saturday afternoon and wasn't very busy but we got a table and bought a few game cards. Which also yet you drinks. I really love how the center piece is the drink station. It's all self serve beer and wine. Which I thought was very cool. It's not a huge place and they don't serve food but they hook up with the pizza place next door.“

“I dig the vibe here. Nice Long Bar, comfy chairs, big tvs, great service and the beer offerings are on point. My wife was also happy with the wine selections. The real Duece Bigelow here is the food, they have some kind of a magic man hiding behind two double doors in the kitchen whippin out delicious burgers and damn near whatever his heart desires. the menu is small but it'll cash your checks all day, everyday!

Go get in your car and drive to this place. NOW! Wager up to the bar and if you don't find yourself lacking, pick a nice comfy chair, a good beer and eat amazing food.“

“Phenomenal food! Great atmosphere, kid friendly!“

“All good dudes hang out at Clem’s.“

“Great aloha vibe, cocktail selection and live music. Perfect spot to chill with friends.“

“Cocktails are great and the kale salad cannot be missed. I've just found on the last few visits the pizzas and patas are very tired though and haven't been changed in so long. Menu needs a little liven up. Wine by the ounce is so good though!“

“What a great place!! We stumbled across this place when we were out to dinner. The staff is friendly and kind. The owner Deano does all the work with the awesome bands they host on the weekends. From Country to hard rock. We haven’t heard one band we haven’t loved. If your looking for a great bar with great music this is the place. Everyone is welcome in this bar. Great atmosphere and you can even order food and eat while while you listen to fantastic music or play pool and watch sports. This is a true fabulous neighborhood bar. Come And enjoy. Char and Mark Handy“

“Best Sports bar in North Park! Food is fabulous, great drink selection, and they show soccer women’s soccer (with sound!!!)“

“I had the pleasure of visiting BNS Brewing and Distillery in Santee, California, and it was an experience worth talking about. The brewery exudes a welcoming atmosphere with its rustic yet laid-back charm, making it the perfect spot for both regulars and newcomers. On this visit, I was there to watch my friend compete in a lively cornhole tournament, which was one of the highlights of the night. The event was impressively organized, with smooth registration, clearly designated playing areas, and a schedule that kept everything running seamlessly. It was fantastic to see a mix of serious competitors and casual players enjoying themselves and interacting in friendly competition.

The crowd added to the experience with their energy—cheering, laughing, and sharing moments that brought everyone together. Whether you were there to play or just watch, like I was, the enthusiasm was infectious. The staff at BNS played a big part in creating such an enjoyable atmosphere, always attentive and ensuring everyone had a great time.

Beyond the event, BNS Brewery’s craft beers and distilled beverages were exceptional. With a diverse range of flavors to choose from, there’s truly something for everyone. For anyone looking for a place that blends community spirit, good drinks, and quality entertainment, BNS Brewing and Distillery is a must-visit. I highly recommend it!
Shout out to AJ Bell and Emilio!“

“Loved the space, the sound, and the people's energy. I look forward to djing and performing there again.“

“A must-visit if you’re in the area! We stopped by for a beer flight and loved the laid-back, welcoming vibe. To make it even better, we brought over some sandwiches from the nearby 'The Girls Deli' to enjoy alongside our drinks. The combination of delicious brews and tasty bites made for a perfect afternoon. Highly recommend stopping in for a relaxed, enjoyable time!“

“The food and service is magnificent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything about Fernside is great!“

“great Club to play music at. Friendly staff and patronage“

“🙂👍 Rachel does a great job!“

“Fantastic Ramen. It's a must!!“

“Great place highly recommended, amazing drinks awesome, come check them out and have a fantastic time“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Our server (I believe his name was Carter) was exceptional and very accommodating. All the dishes we ordered were delicious and flavorful. They also have a wide array of tasty cocktails to choose from. The only critique I have is the portion size. I don't mind paying a premium and I acknowledge the quality but the value should be commensurate with the cost. Otherwise, we had an excellent experience. Highly recommend.“

“Great little tavern in South Park. Nice area, amazing old school vibe. Friendly staff, reasonable drink prices. Good music!“

“5 out of 5 for stars.... best hidden gem in San Diego“

“Cocktails were good. Service was great! Ordered Brisket tots-chos and it's advertised as $19 on their online menu but we got charged $20, not a big deal but it makes me dislike how we're just asked to sign an amount when you don't know how much you're really paying.“

“I enjoyed myself ??? The co-owner was awesome as she moved around the crowd and spoke to ppl and seen her help clear tables ? The dj on Friday night was dope, had me dancing ?? The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?“

“Definitely not a place that gets going all night like a club would but a very cool and quaint spot to grab a drink with a group friends. Pool tables and a variety of drinks on tap. Bartenders are receptive as well. Juke Box is a plus to play music of one’s choice.It’s honestly kind of it’s own place in the middle of everything, but wouldn’t mind staying here for a night and drink the night away. The Elwood is nearby too.“

“Everything about it is fantastic! The beers are delicious and the owners are so welcoming! Thank you for hosting my 29th birthday!!!💕“

“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!“

“First time going here! I was skeptical at first because it’s a bit smaller than i’d like, but it turns out its a lot of fun and not as intimidating as the bigger places and $7 for 1 good sized beer, that’s a good deal! I will be returning soon, so much fun and they play plenty of todays hits and songs I know how to dance to, also no cover charge on Wednesdays!!“

“This is my favorite hole in the wall bar in Logan. Best michelada, great music, someones always putting money in the jukebox and corridos always playing. Plus they have a small pool table in there. CASH ONLY THO! Plus they have regular beer only no craft stuff like all the other bars do...“

“🙂👍 Gonzalo and the entire staff are awesome!“

“This place is like Cheers. So many fun games to play as well“

“Decided to stop by before my tattoo appointment at good company tattoo. Great bar. Came when they opened at 4pm and it was empty, except for a few regulars. It was was definitely an amazing atmosphere. Cheap beers and great service. If you're in the area I would definitely swing on in.“

“Just the best place in SD ❤️“

“Great selection of refrigerator beer, sours, hard seltzer, and slushy! Bartenders are beautiful, and friendly and provide great service. Venuen is divey, and small, a small back patio, music box, and pool table.... missing a star because almost zero parking. Food pops up with delicious varying menus at reasonable prices, nothing over $20!“

“Guinness. Traditional Irish pub atmosphere. Friendly staff.“
