50 Best Sports Bars near Spring Valley

“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.“

“Had a Mishap with my order . But the manager, Fatma had me covered. She had the order redone , cooked all over again, and checked on me during the whole process . She even ensured that the staff left me a cookie and a gift card afterwards. I REALLY appreciate her actions during this transaction and i HIGHLY recommend the staff here despite some of the other reviews. This place is a gem in spring valley and the service was reputable, considerate, and quick! This team is awesome! Please keep managers like her employed!“

“I’m a mediocre pool player at best. However, my friends were excellent pool players wanted to meet up at pocket billiards and brew. The staff was really friendly and welcoming as were the patrons. The prices for pool and drinks were quite reasonable and we had an excellent time.! thank you“

“Home away from home. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“A San Diego institution. Neighborhood and destination bar\\lounge. Friendly staff, pool tables, stage and dance floor with live entertainment, sporting events on the bar TVs and Touchtunes jukebox. There is easy access to pizza, mexican and Foster Freeze to take-in very close by. Loved by locals for generations.“

“Buenos momentos en el bar…..“

“Great bar. They have pool tables, plenty of TVs, food, and cold beer. I've never had a problem with the service, they've always been really nice. There's not a lot of options in the mission valley area for a bar and grill type of place and out of all of them I really enjoy this place the best.“

“atmosphere was great server was super friendly had a variety of appetizers all where off the hook definitely will revisit“

“I came here after work on a Friday night. It just so happen to be a Padres vs Dodgers game and this place was packed! I mean, for your regular local bar... it was poppin'!
Everyone had a good, positive vibe watching the game regardless of the rivalry (there was a mix of both fans here) they didn't have the jukebox playing, so it was strictly game time vibes!
But as soon as the game ended, Jaqui, the bartender at the time, turned the music UP!
Jaqui was the ONLY bartender serving the patrons all night! She not only was running around like crazy but she kept such an inviting, friendly smile the whole time! She made sure to keep a conversation going with her guests as well.
While I was here, I didn't hear of any complaints about the service. Jaqui made sure my refreshments 😜 were always full as well. She's by far the best I've seen yet!!
Overall, it's a cool bar to chill at during baseball games or even to have a night cap after work! & with Jaqui as your bartender, you'll leave here on a positive note and I bet you'll be back 😋😉“

“Great food fast and yummy.“

“I love their chicken wings mostly, with buffalo sauce. Other recommendations include their mac n cheese, chicken alfredo, and loaded fries.“

“I found Angry Petes Pizza on istanstgram and had to try it out. The Pizza was good but the sauce was a little sweet for my taste. The onion rings was out of this world. looking to return soon. the Mackinaw island fudge is a plus.“

“Good food, good service, fair prices!“

“Great food and beer 🍺 kid friendly ❤️“

“🙂👍 Rihanna does a great job!“

“My bf and I came twice to growlers in one week to watch the U of A play in the NCAA March madness games. The first time was during the week. There was a wait and we had drinks at the bar. We were seated maybe 20 minutes later. Our server was Larissa. We ordered food and everything came out relatively quickly. The burger was quality as one would expect paying $30. Overall good experience. The second time we came on Saturday. Again a wait, once again drinks at the bar and then seated 15 minutes later. Our server didn’t come for more than 15 minutes. Larissa recognized us and offered us beverages to start, then our actual server came by and seemed confused when we told her she had already taken our drink order. We ordered food and it took quite a bit longer than the first time we came. We understood as it was much busier on the weekend. Our server checked on us but she clearly was busy with maybe more tables than she could handle. Overall we like the food and cocktails even though it’s over priced. It’s definitely a great place to watch any sports. They actually turn the audio on for the games which was a plus. We will be back.“

“good food and beer on tap“

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

“Valentin was our waiter and he is excellent, the best!“

“Favorite college neighborhood bar. Their natural wine selection is always on point as well as their beer selection. Food is delicious. I love that they always have seasonal menu items depending on what’s in season. Pool is free, AC kicks butt, and they have a great outdoor space if you ever did have a larger group. Dogs are also allowed which is nice if we ever wanna bring our pup.“

“Great please to get charged“

“good food and beer on tap“

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

“I like the bean burritos.“

“I went to the Full Circle Saloon and they played this degrading song that said “A lap dance is better when the stripper is crying. Well I find it quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.” More lyrics from this song say ” I told Bambi I wanted to skin her….. and wear her face like a mask. I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.” This is a a song appropriate for serial killers and John’s who rape sex workers who are forced by their situation to work against their will. The bartender was angry and irritated with me when I asked to him to please turn it off. Two other female workers were unconcerned. The Female owner Michelle Bailey said she will not be a song N*** and did not offer to do anything about it. Oh She said there is a guy there that likes to play this song when he plays pool. If people there accept this happening I will vote by not going there.“

“I love this place I always come here and normally I get amazing service but today I had my first bad experience with a bartender I haven't seen her before but you have to work pretty hard to ignore somebody when you're literally the only person at the bar ended up checking out and left rest of food didn't feel like ordering anything else with her besides that great deals and great food“

“Relaxed atmosphere with live entertainment, reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff“

“The salad, burger and pork tacos were great! My youngest son and I love to go their. Nice tropical atmosphere too. Friendly staff“

“Marina was amazing, for my first time here she took care of us and continued to check on us to make sure we was ok. Being a regional manager from a company I worked for in another restaurant. She did an amazing job with a job I would have liked my employees to do. Thank you for the service & the food.

“A cozy and community focused experience nestled in little ol' North Park known for it's impeccable vibes and open-mic karaoke. You want a brave patron to bust out their kazoo for a musical break down in a song their singing? You want some SCRUMPTIOUS wings with a side of random conversations about philosophy? You want an LGTBQ friendly neighborhood bar to sing and drink your worries away? Stop on by! Karaoke starts at 7pm every night and make sure to get their early cuz the queue fills up quick! Not to mention their open-ceiling back patio with both a smoking and non-smoking section, exceptional staff and security (always tip your bartenders!), and great karaoke stage. Come on by and sing along!“

“🙂👍 Jessica does a great job!“

“Carlton Oaks is a gorgeous venue with a wonderful staff. Gwen is a cheerful and fun server and my new friend💃…PLUS the food is delicious!“

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

“The service is always the best and friendliest you can find. The food... prepared fresh every time is the extra wait. The atmosphere is decent enough, good waiting space for pick up orders, but the dining area could use a little reorganizing. It's kind of difficult getting by seated tables trying to refill a drink or use the restroom. By the way, they are very friendly and gracious about using their restroom... even if you're not buying anything. I'll go back to this place again and again. Thank you, Albert's.“

“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.“

“we have been going to this place for years. with that said service was outstanding and the food was great as expected. I had surgery on my Right Knee and still not that comfortable sitting at bench tables. no problem here they sat us at a table with both chairs and bench. Now that is great customer service. They listened and accommodated us for lunch. Thank you Islands for paying attention to detail. we will be back . oh and if you like chicken. Try their Sandpiper. I get it every time .“

“A local fav! Laidback friendly atmosphere.“

“Great food and family friendly“

“Applebee’s Grill + Bar in San Diego feels like a dependable, no-frills spot when you just want something easy. The vibe is casual, maybe a bit dated, but comfortable. Food is hit-or-miss—some dishes land, others feel reheated. Service is usually friendly, though not always attentive during busy hours. It’s not memorable, but it gets the job done when you’re craving familiar, affordable comfort food.“

“The first time I visited the taco shop. I ordered the ground beef roll tacos, it was an option for small ones or big ones I order big ones and they were delicious. Taco shops rarely sell a ground beef roll taco. The service was pleasent and the food is a good price. I will be returning soon.“

“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 ?“

“Absolutely amazing food and drinks at great prices. Never disappointed.“

“disclaimer, this is a bathroom review, line was short, bathroom was clean, plenty of soap, toilet covers and paper towels, toilet paper. Very colorful graffiti, lots of character in this bathroom. Overall fun and safe vibes, and the bathroom itself is pretty quiet if you even just need a little moment of peace✨️
would definitely come back to hang out with a drink. really lively, everyone seems like they're having a good time, people playing pool and being outgoing.“

“Melissa and Cynthia were absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for greater service. They each checked on my table every 5 minutes. My glass was never empty. And let me not forget about the energy in the restaurant, family all around. You will not be disappointed stopping.“

“Good people and great location. The owner is great . Definitely recommended“

“My friend and I were looking for a bar and grill in El Cajon the other day and came across this place and I'm so glad we did! Food was so delicious, drinks were nice and cold AND they have a great happy hour selection! Definitely going back!“

“Was ORIGINALLY disappointed because they didn't serve liquor. HOWEVER, they do have wine and 'sporty bombs', which were actually pretty tasty (shot of sake and cider). Otherwise, have domestics on draft plus a few IPA varieties (Elysian 'Spacedust' and Sculpin in bottle). The two pool tables are clean ($.75/game) and even. Although the place puts 'dive' in dive bar, the atmosphere was pretty cool! Good conversation with the other patrons there and the jukebox selection was a good variety. Look... it is not your typical downtown or PB location, but since I only live“

“We had a wonderful time at Cays this weekend. I was joined by two sisters and my daughter. We sat al fresco. We ordered the following: 1 bottle of Pellegrino, 2 teas, 2 martinis, a Tito Mule, an order of brocolini, 2 patatas bravas, 1 pan con tomate, 1 burger, and Spanish cheese and meats. Total without the tip was 151.93. Yes, a bit steep, but you are in Coronado and the views are very nice. Our waiter was efficient and he was friendly. I have had many meals at this hotel (I am a local) and I have to say most of the time I have been very satisfied. I would highly recommend Cays. I wish to stay in this hotel one day...“

“Great staff, great atmosphere, great karaoke!“

“Its a dive bar. Not terrible, but very dive bar ish. I've seen a band there, the place is small and can feel a little crowded. But it was fun. Also very loud. But again, fun. Bartender was very busy, so not very fast, but she was very nice. Busy is not her fault. Maybe additional help during blush nights?
IDK. Im just one person. It was fine. Not great or amazing, but fun and fine.“
