Opinions de Common Theory San Diego
Went on a cloudy Sunday as soon as they opened. Quite empty which was fine with me. Lots of indoor seating for the cooler March days, and a good selection of local craft beer. Big food selection; shared the Thai Chicken Flatbread wasn't bad, though my foodie friend thought it was a little expensive for the quality. We didn't realize until afterward that one of our 5oz samples was $10 😮. Just a heads up the Mason S'mores Chaos Imperial Stout was good, but we personally thought it was not worth a $10 taster size, and would have liked to have seen the $ posted since it was a little more $$ than others. Otherwise, the sample $s were good. Shout out to Jordan who took good care of us.
Have enjoyed the beer flights and food which has changed over the years. I appreciate they keep several sour options on tap. Indoor and outdoor seating. Large with lots of seating options. Always clean.
Love the speakeasy realm of the 52 remedies ! Perfect for a good night out with more than enough atmosphere and service to make it a special night out. Would suggest planning 1 week ahead to get availability for the reservation. Drinks were on point, food was delicious and service was sharp. I am definitely coming back for more
Don't fear the prices here.... the food is certainly worth the price. The drinks are delicious & the vibe is awesome; they have a speakeasy [52 remedies] in the back but I didn't feel I was missing out on anything. They have trivia which adds to tbe vibe, classic rock music, great & friendly servers, & I even asked them to give the cook a kiss on the cheek for the scrumptiousness they put out. Great option for a last meal for myself & the pals who are shipping off to military bootcamp tomorrow morning; awesome last meal!
It was a great experience because the girl at the entrance and the girl at the bar took very good care of me, even though my English was not very good, they got along very well with me, they were very friendly, I sat in the garden, the garden is very beautiful, it is clean, I liked it very much, the waitress who served in the garden should definitely be rewarded, I would like to thank her also.
Had a great dinner at Common Theory! Was surprised at how roomy inside. Very fun vibe, family and dog friendly. Much better than your average bar food, love the Korean twist. We started with the calamari and had the kimchi fried rice and bulgogi cheesesteak for entrees. Loved our beers too. The servers are very friendly and sweet. The food came out quickly. Recommend!
Stopped for lunch with multigenerational family members. So many great things on the menu to choose from, both drinks and food. Everyone at our table was happy with their choices. I had the Avante Gourde pumpkin beer, which was really good. I also had the fried buffalo cauliflower, which I also enjoyed. Fried perfectly and the the cauliflower was firm and not mushy. What I really loved about the place was the decor. Obviously done up for Halloween, but the touches that are part of the normal decor are so eye-catching. It feels welcoming and relaxing. Can't wait to go back.
A very cool sport bar style new American restaurant with Asian food inspirations. We came to their speaking easy bar before - 52 Remedies which we really loved their drinks, as well as foods. And this time, we tried this sport bar. We came for Sunday lunch and surprisingly it didn’t have a lot of people here. We ordered a Pork Belly Mac & cheese and a Szechuan Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich, both of them are super delicious!!! I will recommend both dishes to you for sure. The Szechuan style fried chicken is so genius. The Pork Belly Mac & cheese has crunchy fried onion chips inside along with the well grilled pork belly, to make the whole texture nice and balanced with the cheesy macaroni.
Loved this place! It was airy and full of life when I came in. Truthfully I was coming here for the secret speakeasy that they have, but they were completely booked up. We got the pork belly Mac and the cauliflower. Both were amazing! Flavorful, crunchy and soft! Perfectly seasoned and balanced. It all went great with the beer that we got as well. This is definitely a great stop for locals and tourists.
Great spot for happy hour (4-6 pm). We tried their duck fat fries, CT burger, chicken sandwich and buffalo cauliflower. All were great, the buffalo chicken especially (very crispy and not overly spicy!). We went on a Friday night and they have ample space - didn't feel too crowded at all. Beautiful patio area
This is a great dining establishment. The food is great and the service is excellent. If you are in area, you should try this restaurant.

We went to the "Realm of 52 Remedies" which is the speakeasy right on back. The drinks are creative and you have the atmosphere to get cozy and have great conversations.
I wasn’t able to try the food but the beer selection was pretty good. Had a lot of sours if that’s what you’re into plus a full bar if you prefer liquor or want a shot with your beer. I’ll have to go back and try the food. Happy hour was $6 beers till 6PM so that’s pretty decent.
Common Theory is always a pretty good time, even if the food is a bit pricey. They have a massive beer selection that also includes some ciders and seltzers. The food is pretty good overall, especially the appetizers, though I do have to take a star off just due to the somewhat unreasonable pricing. It’s a nice spot to hang out with friends and grab some small plates and drinks. The place gets very busy on weekend nights, so you need to call ahead and reserve a table. Update: Came to Common Theory a couple days ago with an old friend. I ordered the Korean fro d chicken sandwich, a side of macaroni salad, and a sour beer from Fieldworks. The macaroni salad was unexpectedly delicious—it had pulverized seaweed on it, which gave it a slight crunch and want overpowering. The sour beer was good but a bit too wild in terms of flavor profile. As for the sandwich itself, it was gigantic, and while the chicken was juicy it lacked flavor and the bun was way too thick. Still a good spot, but the sandwich was way too greasy. Mac salad is a hit though, oddly enough!
The food is good, but don't get the rice. The fries are cooked perfectly. The burger and my fried chicken are excellent. The rice was dry and wasn't cooked all the way? My waitress, Kayla, is amazing! She tried to sub it for something else. The atmosphere is chill and the vibe is amazing!! Trivia night was fun even though it was tough! We won free 🍻 beers. So a win is a win.
It's a fun place to hang out with friends. A lot of interesting craft beers to choose from. Good amount of different food options as well. The staff didn't seem super friendly while we were there but it could be an one off kind of thing. Price is a little on the higher end given what it is. Overall a decent place for groups.
I’ve heard so many good things about this place so we decided to try it out on a Saturday night. I made reservation but arrived early and they were able to accommodate us right away. We ordered Buffalo cauliflower, fried calamari, pork sisig bowl, Szechuan hot chicken sandwich and roasted pear flatbread. They were all delicious. It seems like they’re busy all the time. I would love to go back for the patio seating next time.

Great spot to grab drinks, late night food, or to watch a game! I'm a big fan of their fries which are beer battered and crispy!!

I came in craving a flatbread, and it just so happened that the day we went in-they were out of flatbreads? So that wasn't an option ;( I opted for the buffalo chicken fries, which were pretty good…
Nice drinks, cool vibe. Service was chill. Left my wallet at the bar and couldn't get through the phone line or leave a message

The food is tasty and the atmosphere is pretty fun and lively! However, it seemed like our server had forgotten about us, and after waiting a while for the check, we walked to the front and asked the hostess if we could pay with her. This particular hostess was rather rude and scoffed at us, saying something along the lines of, "I don't have anything to do with that." She didn't offer to help us look for our server, or for someone else to help us, so we ended up walking around looking for our server, to eventually pay our bill and leave.
First things first comment theory seems to be the spot in convoy area for some great draft beer. Great place to gather with your friends or coworkers to grab a beer or two and hang out the Staff and bartenders are awesome. As for eating here? It’s all right. I would consider this bar food with all the other choices around in convoy to eat. It wouldn’t be my first choice. We tried the sisig rice bowl and the Bulgogi cheesesteak. I probably ate here twice but I don’t really remember. I just know the recent food I ate was just all right. I couldn’t even finish it. I took half of it home. But if you’re hungry after drinking, I guess I would suggest getting some of the fries? I would consider this place a good spot for bar food. With a big space. But the main showstopper of this place? Would probably be the 52 realms speak easy make sure you make reservations in advance.
Great service! Spacious long table for your next get together. Mainly bar food that's not really that tasty. Other main entrees also don't standout that much. If you're Just looking for a place to get together with your group of friends, this is the spot. There's also plenty of parking spots. But if you're looking for a place with good food, you probably should go elsewhere.
Wagyu burger was pretty good, but a little soggy. Service was excellent. The vibe was very dull and very boring. Overall not bad but with some many other options not recommended.

While enjoy how this place looks, unfortunately the food and service missed the mark.our server was very short walked passed us multiple times before we finally flagged her down. My burger was burnt dry and awful my salad was ok the cheese sauce for the pretzels had zero flavor and the chicken katsu "sando" was just a sandwich it was on a burger bun. Overall not coming back, but I tried.
