Society San Diego Reviews
They are strict with their processes. You need to have your id and can not enter ever without being checked first. Once in, pool is a separate tab from the bar/food. Its all pricey. $18 an hour for tables. They have five 9 foot tables downstairs and four 9 foot tables up stairs.

Been coming here for 4 years. Atmosphere is great! Food is good for bar food options. The service has always been very fair for as busy as they get. Recently had an issue over a misunderstanding and it was resolved quickly. Thank you to Jeff (x2)
The staff there is the best in town. Food is great and you have lots of drink choices. EXCELLENT Pool tables and vibe.
Enjoyed the hourly pool. Tables are solid but fill up fast. Definitely a PB vibe and could get a little rowdy. There’s TVs everywhere and they play games over the sound system. There’s shit tons of beers on tap and their specialty cocktails are around $14.
I have such a pleasure every time I come into this prime establishment! The staff is phenomenal and they all do an incredible job at keep the energies fun and attractive! Thank you Society! Each and every day you keep our spirits high! Jez Ron Bryan Geoffrey Jeff Kitchen floor Staff and Security are top dawgs PB!
Fun and friendly pool joint, great place to hang out and socialize. Wait staff didn’t visit often, but that meant I drank less which was probably good anyway. I waited for the taco special on Tuesday, they were excellent and inexpensive.
Great place to go and chill with your friends. Good drink prices, they have pool, shuffle board, and ping pong as well. Wonderful bartenders, managers, and security; they all are very friendly.
Amazing! Just amazing! Pool tables were prompt. Tori was the greatest server I've had at a bar in a very long time. She made us feel welcome and treated us like family. We gave her a 50 dollar tip. She deserved a 200 dollar tip!!! She's amazing!!!!!, I never had to wait on a refill

Went here for a Channukah celebration. Great pool tables & staff is very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for pool / to host a party.

This place is exactly what it’s trying to be, and it does it well. The bartenders? Total pros with personality — you’ll be tempted to order something just to keep chatting. The food is exactly what you’d expect at a buzzy PB spot: solid, satisfying, and designed to soak up the good times (and tequila). It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it doesn’t have to. The vibe is lively, the service is top-tier, and it’s absolutely worth a stop — or a few rounds.
THIS PLACE IS A MUST SEE FOR !ALL BILLIARDS PLAYERS!, local or visiting. Vegas quality tables. Central location in Pacific Beach, large, open space (as contrast to most of Pacific Beach), very writer friendly (bags must be checked). Fifth Star for faster service (the wait times did not match the crowd size, in my honest opinion).

I love coming here for the Bubba's BBQ! The service is great, all the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Bubba's burger might be low key one of the tastiest burgers in San Diego and I am very picky about burgers. It's always an internal battle between the burger, the pulled pork and the baby back ribs!! I would love to see the bar add an amber lager (Dos Equis Amber comes to mind) or more traditional lager (maybe 805 to the taps! Other than that very minor complaint I love this place!!!
This is a great place to play Billiards in pb! They have multiple pool tables on the first and second floor. My boyfriend and I went this past saturday, we did go around 6:30 p.m., so we missed a lot of the crowds. It is definitely becomes more challenging to get a table further into the night. You'll also have a server that comes and attends to you at your pool table, which is super convenient to avoid getting stuck at the bar. You pay per hour for pool, and you can pay by card, so you don't need coins or cash to play!

Disappointing that it’s 2025 and they still charge a “4% surcharge” on credit cards. Tried to pay cash but they still charged an extra 4%. The potato skins were ok but the pecan pie was the best ever. The service was great but the service charge is ridiculous and shows poor ownership.

I’ve been a customer society for several years and then I came to the front door with a cup of water and a security guard wouldn’t let me in because he said that he had to assume it was alcohol and I’ve been here plenty of times so I’m just leaving this review to let you know that if you come to this place, just be careful. Don’t bring any water and watch out for a guy with no, it’sdouche orange hair.

Bouncer is horrendous. He’s a security guard who acts like he’s running the whole building, barking orders, puffing his chest, and trying to control everyone. He acts like a dictator, demanding respect, but no one takes him seriously. In reality, he’s just a guy in a uniform with no real power. He needs to chill out. Weak sauce bouncer. Btw, the Philadelphia Eagles are garbage.
Your bouncer is a fake eagles fan. Making up fake rules to disallow people in the bar on Eagles gameday. He wanted us to show a birth certificate to get in. Dont give this bar any business.
Ron, talk about the worst experience I’ve ever been to. We enter and ask the bouncer if there is full size pool que’s and he said yeah you must of had a kid size last time you were here . Proceeded to find out all the pool cue’s were short! Second off when buying the hour pool session, we tried to reconfirm that we would have an hour long pool session, and Ron nodded his head and forgot to mention that we have 10 min left to play! Then Ron had the audacity to come to the pool table and ask you want another crown thanks *ron*. The bouncer after less than one game tells us we need to finish up. California hospitality is second to everyone. Please for how beautiful their pool table and bar is stay as far as way from this place and Ron. Side note all of the girls were amazing and would have never lied to us like this. Great establishment ruined by one guy, hate to see it
