Sports bar w passable food. It's a packers bar on Sundays. My team's game was on one TV. Foid was good, great attentive service. Great place to take in a game.
Odd, to me, dogs were allowed inside the bar during the whole game, not service dogs. Yuk.

Excellent modern up beat bar and restaurant. It’s 7:30pm and currently there’s a DJ on staff. My popcorn chicken came out fast and extremely easy to eat while drinking. One bit of advice, I’d recommend taking an Uber here. There’s a large homeless village on the other side of the street. Please feels super safe and staff is on top of everything.

After spending 5 and a 1/2 hours walking around the San Diego Zoo working up an appetite, I googled what was open after 9:30pm for dinner and this place came up. I was so impressed with the service and the food was spot on!!
I highly recommend this place if you’re hungry for a mouth watering, Steak burger or Killer Mac N cheese. Actually, they had quite a few items on the menu that looked amazing. The music was on point too! Our server was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I think they call him Kiwi or something like that. I took lots of pics so you can check out the coolness of this place.
Thanks Kiwi! Your service was greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely make it a point to come back next time we’re in town.

I ordered the brussels sprouts which were seasoned incredibly. The hibiscus cider was so good that my girlfriend had to order one after trying mine. They made a mean old fashioned, too. Wait staff was attentive and suggested other bars in the area.

The lumpia was tasty. Our beverages were good. If we lived closer this would become a regular spot for us.

Service was okay, the place was very busy when we went. We had to wait a long time to take our order and then again to pay after we ate. I got the rosemary chicken mac & cheese without the bacon. The mac & cheese hit the spot, but the chicken was a little bit too dry for me. Overall the food and service was average.

First night in San Diego, wanted a quick bite and a drink after travelling for 24 hours. Bar is in central downtown district so near our hotel. Not very busy to start with, waitress did not seem happy! Took longer than it should have done to get our drinks (only 2 bar staff working) and then nachos arrined soon after, they were good. Second beer arrived much quicker. Would have given 5 stars but for the waitress! Nice place, would visit again, great beer selection.

Wonderful huge space with hardworking service.. we went on a bustling Tuesday, when the fine folks at the local eatery had a "seat yourself" type of day. Service and bartender was still quick with handling all the hungry mouths and lushes of SD out on Taco Tuesday. We went before and after the Hasan Minhaj show and oh, good luck to the servers, they were moving fast and competently. We ordered wings, nachos, sausage platter, a la carte tacos (the brisket!, And the Mojo steak), Loco Moco, and quesadillas. We were a hungry table and left at the very very closing time. They are prompt to tell you about last call, and will not be afraid to let you know it's closing time. Loved the food, loved the high action evening, would go here again and recommend for great gastro-pub experience. They do have a Brewery on site, and also a fully stocked bar and a capable bartender.

Spacious and airy, good food to go with the fresh brews including their own as well as a curated selection of local favorites. TVs are placed high for visibility in case one wants to catch the current sporting events. Reliably good, with central location near but not inside the Gaslamp, so maybe not as crowded as some of those places.

All the food we ordered was delicious! Lots of great local brews available. We went two nights in a row and had good service both times. The management is pretty abrasive about wanting to turn tables quick, but we know restaurants are doing what they can to stay open these days. A good place to watch sports and UFC (if you come early and pay the cover).
