I had gotten an email wishing me a happy birthday and to come in for a FREE ENTREE. I was like,…read morewhat!? Yeah a lot of places give a free dessert but you almost never see a free dinner. I instantly set a reservation (didn't really need it) and we arrived around 4pm on a Tuesday and sat on the patio. Happy hour is daily from 4-6pm and if you sit on the recently renovated patio, drinks are 50% off. I ordered the Ribeye as my birthday entree and we also ordered the Fried Zucchini ($7), Popcorn Chicken ($9), Guajillo Braised Pork Shoulder ($21) and several cocktails ($7 each during HH). Everything was great honestly. No complaints. My wife REALLY loved the braised pork shoulder. My steak was excellent and even though it was free, $32 for a ribeye is the lowest you'll find anywhere. It was nice having not having to fight for a seat. Enjoying a cocktail on the patio in perfect weather is something everyone should try. Highly recommend coming to Mission Ave Bar & Grill for happy hour and to check out the new patio. Make sure to register for their mailing list to get birthday offers too!

This stylish whiskey lounge features pool tables, darts, and live entertainment. It's always a good time here! Early birds are highly recommended, long lines of people form outside towards the end of the evening. There's definitely a trick to getting a drink- it's called push your way to the front (it's all part of the experience). For the most part, bartenders are quick, fast and efficient! Making great recommendations for first timers. We made a late night stop with friends after dinner. First round of cocktails- the legendary Old Fashioned! Because why the hell not? It's a classic- Bonded Bourbon, Aromatic Bitters, Sugar, Citrus Zest. Very smooth! Unfortunately, I did not take pics of our drinks (sowey), just enjoyed livin in the moment with great friends and good conversation! No doubt we'll be back soon and I'll post some pics of some their signature cocktails. Till then, cheers my friends!

I love that there are fire pits and you can reserve them for a fee that then becomes F&B credit so its a great deal.

Holy moly. The worst burger in the world award for you! I…read morereally have no other words. With how small the menu is and how expensive, you would expect everything to be great. Why a disaster. The gunk that was in the middle of my overcooked burger oh man. A thick patty overcooked with some yellow slop. Disgusted all day by the fact I had more than one bite. After the first bite I attempted to scrape it all off but that was where I realized it was over before it even started. Maybe 4 total bites. Yuck! That purple ube coconut drink was however divine along with my server Seth! Thank you Seth but maybe get me some better food for 40% tip. That was clearly not enjoyed but you are a nice man.

We…read moreknew that any bar by tacos el gordo would be too wild for us, so we walked a couple blocks and approached Noble Experiment. I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too.

Service: 9/10 The host was chill, and we had Quintin as our mixologist. There are no menus he told us, he just went off of our flavors, and palate, so I can't really speak for how to order the same drink. First drink: 9/10 (profile) Vodka bases with cucumber and strawberry. Second drink: 8.5/10 (profile) Smokey, deep old fashion. Overall a MUST-GO to if you're in the area stopping by!

Joey Salameh at Drift Distillery absolutely made the experience. From the moment we sat down, he…read morebrought a level of energy and professionalism that you don't see everywhere. He's the kind of person who genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in every interaction. His knowledge of the drinks was on point--he didn't just recommend things, he explained them in a way that actually made you excited to try something new. Every suggestion hit, and you could tell he really understands the craft behind what Drift is doing. What stood out most though was the service. Joey was attentive without hovering, personable without being over the top, and made the whole vibe feel elevated but still comfortable. It felt less like being served and more like being taken care of. If you're going to Drift Distillery, ask for Joey--you'll have a completely different (and better) experience because of him.

We recently took a trip up to Sonoma and Meghan facilitated our tastings with several wineries and we could not have been more pleased with our experience! She has connections to many top wine makers all over and she passes on those benefits to her clients. We feel lucky to have met her and we will continue to use her services for all our future wine country trips as well as local wine maker tastings/dinners.
