    We stopped by on a Sunday; they have free games all day Sunday. It was very little people inside which was great for us because we got to play as much games as we want. We were greeted by the front counter staff and he explained how everything worked. I got the lime crisis drink; it was decent. I really like the beer dispensers, you can control how much you want especially if you want to sample it; each drink is per oz. We didn't order food that day because we had dinner earlier and wanted to pop in here for fun. It's a small place and I'm sure on the weekends it gets super packed. Wonderful and helpful staff & good vibes here. Make sure you have ID; they ask for it here especially for the tabs. Check out their daily game or drink specials. Definitely worth it.

    Great selection of beers and ciders. Omg!! I feel like a kid in a candy store. They have my favorite cider. I love everything apple and pumpkin. They have one of the best pumpkin cider. I don't know till when but you should go and try it. They also have food made by surf rider pizza. They have a few games. The place is definitely very chill. I also went here during October fest and it was nice to just sit and enjoy a good beer with my large pretzel. The service is superb!! Everyone there is super nice!! Which make the experience so fun!! The drinks is charge by the oz so you can get as much or little. I tried a lot of them so I only got a few oz each. The one I like I would get a cup. Definitely give this place a try. It's fun and super chill!

    Coin Haus is like a mix between Barrel Republic and Coin Op. They have self-serve beers on tap (charged by the ounce) along with a ton of games to play. The space lends itself to a fun time! It's a great gathering space and the set up is definitely stand out. There's a big storage container in the center that houses all of the taps. As you walk around the container, you can find a bunch of different beer options along with a few ciders and kombuchas. You scan a card to pay by the ounce, so you can get as little or as much as you want. Behind the container, there is a wall full of different arcade games. You can jump into Mario Kart or play any of the driving or shooting games. Lots of fun options, but all for adults! This place is 21+ so all the video games and fun are for the big kids! Besides all the activities they have going on, the food itself is actually delicious! Their pizzas are delicious and they have so many unique options. This is a CRG restaurant along with Surfrider Pizza right next door, so the food is quality! Last but not least, the staff deserves a shout out. They are so fun and friendly. Working here looks like a great time! All around stand out spot and the perfect place to enjoy a brew!

    Pour your own pint

    Stopped in around 5 on a Saturday to a relatively empty establishment. In any other city I'd be worried...but in San Diego area, I'm just relieved I don't have to wait for a table. We showed up, traded credit cards for Coin Haus cards and got to pouring. Keep your eyes on that per ounce price, there was a mistake on my pour that was quickly remedied. We ordered wings and pesto bread. I would say...maybe eat somewhere else. It wasn't terrible, but also not quite noteworthy food. I think the draw of the place is more the cool pour yourself a pint aspect. We loved the video games, and the cargo box of kegs. It felt like a funky place to bring out of town visitors. We may come back again, it would be perfect for after a day of walking around and shopping throughout downtown la Mesa.

    Pro tip: Free game play on Sundays! Other deals as well throughout the week. This place is always a good time with many taps (pay per ounce), games, and food available from Surf Rider Pizza. It's not huge but has enough games to keep you entertained, tvs to watch whatever game happens to be on, and food/drink as needed. Staff is always super friendly and helpful.

    What a fun spot! It's an arcade with a good selection of beers and ciders with a few wines to choose from. I love the concept of being able to try so many different ones using a card. We grabbed our drinks and played games while we waited for our food. I wish there was a bigger selection of arcade games. The surf dude salad was very fresh and adding the chicken was great. I wish there were more ingredients in it as it was a lot of lettuce, but still great. We ordered the cheesy bread and that had good flavor and tasted fresh as well. I'm glad it had the marinara sauce on the side as well. The cheesesteak was big and had great flavor. It was a bit spicy and we were overall very happy with our food! The service was great as well and she explained how everything worked. She mentioned that the food would take 25-30 minutes which was much appreciated, but it allowed us to play games. Street parking.

    Such a fun and unique spot! They have beer on tap where you can pour your own drinks, which makes the whole experience feel interactive and laid-back. You can sample as much or as little as you want, which is perfect for trying different flavors without committing to a full pint right away. The staff were amazing -- super fun, friendly, and really attentive the entire time. We ordered the wings and they did not disappoint -- crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. We also got the pizza, and it was huge! Not just big, but genuinely delicious and made with great-quality ingredients. On top of all that, we had an absolute blast playing the arcade games -- such a nostalgic, playful touch that kept us entertained all night. Overall, this place is a great combo of good vibes, great food, cold beer, and fun. Highly recommend checking it out!

    Staff is friendly and helpful for sure. It was my first time stopping by and checking this place out. The have a wide variety of taps to chose from. It is card based at the end you close out with the staff and pay however much you drank. It tells you along the way price per ounce and total spent so far. The drinks were great! Its a cool little spot in La Mesa. I really would not come back. Limited seating and often reserved for events so you have to move and try finding an open chair or stay standing. Limited games to play. Good amount of TVs around the place.

    Coin Haus is a great spot for a cold beer and awesome retro video games. And to my surprise, all video games are free on Sundays. Coin Haus is a great spot to hang out. With over 45 drink options to choose from (mostly beer, but they also have wine options), you will not be disappointed. And the best part is that you have control of the pour. If you want to sample a drink, pour yourself a small portion. If you know what you like, pour yourself a pint. Coin Haus also has other drink options at the bar. Also, you are able to order food items from the local pizza place (Surf Rider Pizza Co) and they will deliver it here. The service here is pretty simple. You open a tab and off you go. Everything is controlled by the card you are given. Coin Haus is a great spot to hang out, have a cold drink, enjoy delicious food, and play awesome retro games. I'll definitely be back.

    CHEESE BREAD
    Jose P.

    If you're looking for a place where you can challenge your date to an pac man game and pour your own IPA, this arcade is it. Picture neon lights, retro vibes, and a self-pour station that makes you feel like a sommelier with commitment issues (beer, wine, or seltzer--why not all three?). The food? Let's just say the cheese and bread options are dangerously good--like, "whoops, we're eating our way through the pong budget" good. Service is solid, with staff who are quick to explain the pouring system and make sure you don't accidentally fill your cup to the brim with something questionable. Pro tip: bring someone who can appreciate a little friendly competition. Nothing says "romantic spark" like crushing them at Ms. Pac-Man. Perfect for dates, post-work hangs, or just proving your Mario Kart supremacy.

    Paloma
    Yael M.

    Fun spot located in La Mesa Village! Great service and lots of variety. They don't have hard liquor but their rice wine cocktails are tasty. They also offer food from their partner restaurant, Surf Rider, nearby. I tried their Paloma and it was very refreshing!

    Are kids allowed?

    Since we are a bar, only people age 21 and older are allowed in. Sorry about that!

    Yes, we always have music on during operating hours!

    Does this place still sell food or do they only sell beer? There's no photos of food and the photos of menus are pretty old. Just curious since I couldn't tell from their website either. Thanks!

    We serve pizza by the slice and have salads and pizza delivered from Surfrider Pizza across the street :)

    Is smoking allowed here?

    Not on their patio. Has to be outside the building.

    Do they allow dogs?

    I believe they do. Sometimes employees bring their dogs in.

    What is the price range here ? How does the beer tasting work?

    Depends on when you go. They have specials when the games cost less. Beer tasting is by the ounce. You get a glass and a card that you tap on the tasting taps to try. At the end of the night, you pay for the games and beer according to the card.

    Do they allow outside food?

    Yes, your allowed to bring outside food in and there is never a problem.

    Thursday $0.30/oz beers. Is there a list of beer that qualifies for these discounts? It's good to know which beers are those that are always on that promotion and the ones that don't.

    It is only a few beers each week. And they change weekly (as far as I know). Call ahead & ask.

    Is it Credit Card/Debit Card only or can you pre pay with cash for games and drinks? If it is Card only, can you use a prepaid visa card with a balance?

    Hello Scott, You do need to have a credit or debit card to open a tab, however, you are welcome to pay cash when you check out. None of the games accept coins, they (and all… Read more

    Can you pay for games and/or drinks with cash? Or is this establishment Credit Card/Debit Card only? Follow up question if Card only, can a pre-paid "Gift Card" work as long as it has a balance on it?

    I'm pretty sure that would be an illegal policy to not accept American currency (cash) as a valid form of payment... so of course you can pay in cash. However a credit or debit card is required to open a tab as a form of collateral. A prepaid gift… Read more

    Are there any gluten free or gluten reduced Beer options?

    They do not have a dedicated tap line for gluten free beer, but they often have kegs from Duckfoot brewery which makes all its beer gluten free. They also have 2-6 ciders or sours on tap that would be naturally gluten free.

    How is the parking is it easier to find one?

    Usually it's not hard to find spots on the street.

    Two questions: How much does it cost to play each arcade game, after 8pm on a Saturday? And do they have BurgerTime (my strange and rare favorite!)?

    The price of each game varies on the game itself. Older games are 50 cents per play while newer games are $1.00 per play on a Saturday night. All games are free on Thursdays before 6:00 pm. Last time I was there (a couple months ago) they did not… Read more

    Is it air conditioned?

    Yes, it is. But one of the walls of the building is a huge roll-up garage door and it's always open.

    How do they charge for beer?

    You give them your credit card when you first get there, then they give you a "charge card" that's linked to your credit card. You insert the charge card into whichever beer (or wine) tap you want to try, and are charged by the ounce (prices are on… Read more

The bathroom was really impressive; huge and spotlessly clean. They have a great selection of beers on tap from light to IPA. Stouts, darks - a beer for everybody. Beer only right now. I enjoyed a very tasty Mexican Lager (La Bamba). Becky begrudgingly enjoyed one as well. She no longer drinks beer. She lost nearly 50 pounds by switching to low carb, low calorie seltzers a few years ago. That was our only disappointment, no seltzers. Not even in cans in the cooler. If we ever return, she'll have to bring her own. Sunny Grove does not have a kitchen, but they do host a different food truck or pop-up nearly every day. Check the calendar on their website for details. sunnygrovebeer.com Definitely a cool spot, just wish they'd add a seltzer even if it is canned.

FYI, since the reopening with all the renovations, Hoffers now has outside heaters, a cool new canopy high above covering the patio to fend off wet weather while vibing to the live tunes, playing games or watching sports events or whatever on the new big screen TV. And there are many unique and fun design features to discover. Yet, still retains the warmth and character of what we know of as Hoffers Cigar Bar in the Village. Gotta add: Various NON-alcoholic drinks are also available: sodas, waters, beers...

But mostly it's now a good hang. The owners are friendly and cool and eager to please. Definitely my new hangout definitely worth a try.
