Good neighborhood bar. Fun and friendly bartenders that are pleasant to look at too. One of the most affordable places to drink in Hillcrest. 5 dollar tall boy and we'll shot. Hard to go wrong there. Thursday is trivia night at 830 pm . Prizes given in the way of drinks. Smoking enclosed patio which is f***ing awesome sauce. It's a small bar so don't expect a meat locker of 100 + people dancing around. It is a good neighborhood bar which is primarily filled with people from the neighborhood who prefer to walk. Good diversity of people because of this fact.

It's better than you think it is. Remember its still a "dive". Drinks are cheap. Cash only. Friendly Staff. Dog Friendly. TV's. Booths. What more could you ask for?

Comfy barstools, good prices, unbeatable atmosphere and locals. Mikey and Syl are stellar bartenders. This is my go-to spot in San Diego.

Stumbled in here on a Sunday night after having sushi down the street. I've driven by here a hundred times but never went in, actually it never looked open. New owners now apparently, lights out front etc so it looks alive. Tons of TV's for sports, fair priced cocktails, clean little place. It was quiet on a Sunday night of course but the bartender was super, super nice. We stayed almost 90 minutes just because he was so cool. Will definitely go back on a Friday or Saturday night to see what's poppin'.

Well duh my fav local bar/ maybe fav bar in general. I love the beautiful stained glass aquarium piece but so wish the roving color led lights were on more often. SUCH an improvement from the old owners, super clean now, comfortable and welcoming, and the alcohol selection has jumped up ten fold in quality. THANK YOU TIM, LEIGHANN, CHI CHI and my fav redheaded bartender, I'm bad at names! You guys are great

CASH ONLY (important to note). Otherwise, its the quintessential neighborhood dive bar, in the best way! Friendly staff, games, fun movies on the TV, and a good drink selection.

You can beat their never endinf drink specials. Beer and a shot for $5. Heavy hands, and the best dang um dive bar around. Under new management, huge improvement. Oh and the TV'S every game. Is always on.

What a fun spot! When the office team said they were going to play ping pong and drink, I pictured a broey bar with ping pong, beer pong, and sports on large screens. To my pleasant surprise, it was high quality tables, endless balls that you never have to pick up, great whiskey choices and good finger food (truffle popcorn and risotto balls were the highlights ). Don't judge before you try it. You might get a workout even.

Sports enthusiasts, you got plenty of screens to choose from. Just like most bars, it depends on who is behind the bar. CHI CHI is a great human, I don't dislike the others, CHI just happens to be usually hap happy. Have cash on hand and order at the bar even if you're sitting at the booths. If you're a beer snob I understand if you walk away dissatisfied but it's more about hanging out here and socializing in the cozy atmosphere.

We were looking for a divey bar. It fit the bill. The bill didn't fit the bar though. I could've spent the same money and got better beers in a better place.

Depends on the day/time and bartender. Sometimes it is chill and the service is attentive and efficient. Other times you get ignored even if the bar is not close to being packed. Clearly a local bar that seems fine only serving their regulars who chit chat with them.

I came in and didn’t get any help until I called the bartender because he kept flirting with a client which is fine but don’t have me waiting 20 mins to get a drink

First time going to a bar alone as a woman. Was treated like utter garbage and sexism. They threw away a full beer I paid for when I went to the bathroom. Hate them and I’m disgusted and would never go back.

Walked in with about 10 people and after standing for a few mins had yet to be acknowledged. Person behind the bar said the bartender will serve you, but when they came over they looked over then away. Didn’t feel a welcoming vibe.
