I was there for a private party. Therefore, I can't really make an overall judgement as a regular patron. The atmosphere seemed to be great.

This place deserves a negative 400 star. Its taken me a few days to collect myself and write down all my thoughts about this establishment.
My friends and I(latina female) visited this bar on Saturday September 17, 2022 before and after the San Diego Wave FC game. When we returned after the game most of the crew got in line to enter however my best friend (white female) (who I have not seen in a few months) and I moved to the side and sat by some chairs in front of McGregor's to continue our conversation since we had been been having an emotional and important conversation. We spoke for a few minutes and due to the nature of the topic I teared up a bit and quickly wiped the tears away. No one close to us would've been able to hear our conversation because of the private nature of the topic.
While we continued to talk, a McGregor's bouncer approached us and said that he would be unable to allow us into the establishment due to my "emotional state" and that he would be unable to serve us. I could not believe my ears and frankly did not understand what he meant because it made no sense. My friend, very calmly, asked him to repeat himself an explain why we would not be able to enter the establishment if we were a. of legal age, and b. in a perfectly normal state of mind to enter (Not falling of the table drunk, yelling, nor causing a scene). He just repeated that I was too emotional and he was not allowed to let us in.
As I mentioned, we were quietly and calmly having a private conversation, far away from the entrance line, and not disrupting ANYONE. My friend mentioned our other friends were inside and asked if there was any chance we could be allowed in since we were both calm and of legal age and there was no legal reason that we should be barred. He later came back and said he would let us in.
We went in just to tell our friends what had happened and we all quickly decided we would not continue to stay in such a MISOGYNISTIC establishment. Had we been men, this wouldve been a non issue. Men are allowed to be loud, (especially at sports bars where this is the norm) and to express their emotions. Funnily enough, as soon as we entered this clearly inebriated man threw a glass to the floor and shattered it and yet he was allowed to remain and a server cleaned it up.
McGregor's clearly thinks being an "emotional woman" (barf) is worse that a drunken and potentially dangerous man.
This bouncer and this bar targeted us because we are women and they clearly are prejudiced and do not deserve any woman's hard earned money. We did NOTHING wrong and yet were belittled by this man and this bar.
tldr: This place is run and managed by misogynistic pigs and if you are a woman or an ally you should't spend your dollars there.

Stopped in for happy hour. Nice beer selection and the eats were very good. Friendly servers and clean restrooms. Several pool tables available too.

The Baja fish tacos were pretty good but the fish and the tortilla were very oily. The mahi-mahi taco was much better and had more flavor. The garlic fries, cheese fries and the crispy zucchini were all very tasty and not too greasy but the zucchini would be much better if it had a dipping sauce with it.

Biggest garbage dive bar with terrible service. Roaches in the food, expired beer and this guy is the reason

The Bathroom here always smells below the average restaurant in town. Plenty of pool tables to play which is cool but also bugs in the bottles. Music is ok but mostly Ghetto crowded. Disgusted by the lack of sanitation and cleanliness and I’m not even a Germaphobe. Watch your drink when you play, someone could snatch it. Seriously.

Came for trivia night. Arrived a bit late, but joined in with the group I usually come with. Waitress comes over and asks my friend if she needs anything more, my friend asks for water for me. Waitress never came back to ask me if I wanted anything else, but checked on almost everyone else at the table. I've been here several times previously for trivia night and had a fine time, so that's why it's still 4 stars.
They also have pool tables for those who are interested.

Amazing combination! Soft and crispy patato chips. Outstanding!
The fries were amazingly cooked right. Everything from the taste a bit salty and soft just like fries should be.
The bar seemed to get half my order a bit messed but they were amazingly fast and reasonable on correcting it. Great customer service
The buns were just the right softness. The meat was medium rare and it was just cooked perfectly. Tender and juicy would be the right description. The cheeses were just rightly melted.
They have pool for a dollar and after 10pm it is free. Outside patio sitting and a tune player.
