I love this place! When you can sit up on the hill and watch a beautiful sunset, enjoy some amazing food, feel the breeze in your hair, appreciate life and great ukulele play in the background with a amazing group of customers and staff who want to bring you a great experience! That's what life is all about. Enjoying every moment of every day as much as possible. I love life and this place is full of life and happy people. The pork belly is so yummy and to die for!!

Tuesday trivia here is awesome (6pm start)! Goes great with the taco special and a Hempstead hazy IPA. Great indoor and outdoor spaces, chill vibe. All ages venue

Would come back for the super friendly and attentive service, as an introvert the staff was soo kind, warm and prompt. So happy they have a patio with heaters that work and they have a non alcoholic menu so it doesn’t feel like anyone is missing out. Will be coming back. From the NA menu I tried the Clairemont Drive and it was delicious. The Golden State Cider was refreshing too.

2 for 2! My 2nd visit and my 2nd great experience! Food was on point - elevated pub fare, great beverage selection but more than anything, service! Full house for “trivia Tuesday” which provided unexpected fun but the place was packed and our server Paris & crew made us feel like the only ones there. Great recommendations on food and drinks, super attentive and just over the top hospitality- it was a real treat Fast Times made us feel welcome & appreciated which is hard to come by these days

5 dollar beer great bands love it🤩

Attended an "after party" at Fastimes after the funeral service and "Irish wake" reception for John Walsh, father of several Clairemont/ Fasttimes graduates. Fun time.

Beer was cold, server was hot, food was delicious. Highly recommended, will most definitely be coming back

Great customer service. People are nice, attending and good atmosphere. Great people great music. My first time there and not my last time. I will definitely be back head in amazing time on Saturday night. Thank you thank you to your staff thank you management.

Great venue for food, drinks and live music. We celebrated New Years Eve there where we saw a great performance from Cash Roberts - he’s played there a few times. The atmosphere is always fun and staff is tremendous. Worth checking out.

Fabulous venue. Loads of live bands to listen to. Great place to dine and dance! They make the perfect vodka martini with a lemon twist 🍸

Fun music, friendly, quick service for the drinks especially, bad acoustics, good burger, but I paid $3.00 more to not have fries or tots for a wilted Caesar salad that didn't taste particularly washed. My friend likes her house salad. Stay away from the blue cheese dressing, it was the consistency of milk with no blue cheese in it. Some of the seating was rather high, higher than a bar stool. It was crowded, but there was a friendly vibe.

06-23-23 Ordered: -Sampler Platter $16 -Salmon Taco Plate $14 -Chicken Tender $13 -Calamari $12 -Flatbread $12 -Potatoe Skin $11 Under “About Us” it said, “Chef Pascal and his team work their magic,” I agreed. They sure did! We enjoyed our food. Everything came out piping hot and yummy. Service: 5/5 Kiara took good care of us. We walked in and the place was packed. Mentioned to her that we were here to support the band (Southbay). Managed to secure a table with only 3 chairs, no problem. Kiara brought over two more for our party of 5. Super attentive and loved her pleasant demeanor. Liked: -Kiara’s attentive service -Yummy food -Laid back atmosphere -Southbay Band

Great place to watch football 🏈 on Sundays. It’s got typical bar food and everything is good. I will say that the service here is outstanding and you rarely have to wait for the a drink. I will be watching football here a lot over the season.

Very good grilled chicken sandwich and tater tots at a fair price. Good bun, fresh toppings, and a tasty chicken patty. The quality you would expect from a restaurant or bar, way better than fast food. Due to Covid-19, had to get it To Go. The bartender was very friendly and the service was fast. Update: Got two grilled chicken sandwiches with swiss cheese and tater tots. This time both chicken patties were a little tough and had a slightly crunchy texture, similar to cartilage in spots. I assume they must have gotten a bad batch from their supplier that maybe had been thawed and refrozen. I'll try them again in the future. Update: Got the Cajun Salmon plate and the Chicken Sandwich. Both were very good.

'Fast Times', hidden away in a shopping center, up the hill from Mission Bay on Clairemont Drive, offers locals and visitors a place to meet, eat, drink and dance to some great live music!

FastTimes is a fun, lively spot with a great atmosphere, especially if you’re into free live music! I dance here often. The bands are usually great, and the vibe was energetic without being overwhelming. It’s a perfect place to kick back with friends and enjoy some good tunes and cold drinks. What I Loved: ✔ Live Music – Free and Fantastic! The band really brought the place to life. ✔ Laid-Back Vibe – A mix of locals and music lovers, no pretentiousness here. ✔ Spacious & Comfortable – Plenty of seating indoor and out and a decent, not large dance floor. The Food? Just Okay. The menu is decent, but nothing to write home about. It’s more of a "grab a bite while you enjoy the music" kind of place rather than a foodie destination. That said, it does the job if you’re hungry! Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a fun night out with free live music, FastTimes is a solid choice! Just don’t go expecting a five-star meal. Would definitely come back for the entertainment! 🎶🍻

This review is about the bad food at Fast Times. I went to the Ukulele Night last night with friends. Great atmosphere, the service was decent, but the nachos we ordered were horrendous. It came to us as a muddled mess, as if someone threw up on a plate of small chips. And by the way, I grew up in Southern California. I know how actual restaurant nachos should look and taste. Not only was this plate of nachos super small, with little tiny plastic side cups of sour cream and guacamole (which was the worst I've ever tasted), it came with some kind of awful mix of cheese. It looked like they started with actual cheese, and then squirted some kind of Velveeta cheese on top of it. And the beans were all over the chips, instead of on the side, which made the chips soggy and flaccid. We should have sent the whole disgusting thing back, but my friends didn't want to make a scene. Bad move, I'm paying the price today. I think the worst part about serving your patrons crap is that it shows you don't respect them. I couldn't find any background on the owners, but if they're from anywhere around the Southwestern U.S., they should be ashamed of themselves. And if the cook that put those nachos together is from South of the border, shame on you even more. I'll never go back.
