    Nice local bar in a strip mall we happened to stop at after a long drive. The place was hopping on a Thursday night. It's what I'd expect of an Irish bar and local hangout so stuck to Irish whisky on the rocks. Good pour, but could improve the ice quality to cubes rather thank regular chunks.

    One damn fine shot of Blanton's Single Barrel Whiskey. I had two.

    Where to start? I suppose it was a scorching hot summer Saturday on 2003. My car was in the shop and they'd loaned me a convertible. So I was out all day, top down, wind in my hair, (which I had a lot of back then) enjoying San Diego. I got a good tan that day. On my way back north I was burning up and needed a cold beer. I vaguely remembered an Irish pub tucked away behind the Olive Garden in Carmel Mountain Ranch. I roared into the parking lot and drove straight into a spot, right in front of a sign reading Irish Pub. They didn't call it Conway's back then. Lots of people outside, very friendly. Especially this really nice lady, Mary. She welcomed me like I was a weary traveler or long lost family member. She told me I'd become a regular. And that's about all it took. I become a regular. I got to know all the bartenders, Mikey, Troy, Big Daddy. I got to know everyone's wives, girlfriends, husbands and boyfriends. I got to know the owner, Rob, who always teased me about needing a booster chair to see over the bar! Hahaha. Smart ass. I got to know all of the many other regulars. All of those people, and many, many more, became my friends. We drank a lot of 'Blasters,' a brilliant concoction of Red Bull and Jäegermeister. Conway's was a consistent part of my life for 15-16 years, I can't quite remember exactly. It really was like a family, full of happiness and fun along with the occasional conflict and drama. Somewhere along the line I stopped coming in as much. It was partly a function of me getting older, partly because it became a new, different, younger crowd at the bar. I realized I was too old to be chasing 25 year old girls! I'll never forget the moment I felt like a dirty old man when this beautiful young woman asked me how old I was. I was like a slow death, with my life flashing before my eyes! So my visits became less frequent and I lost touch with my old friends. And that was that. I was no longer a regular. It was a awesome phase of my life, but like they say, all good things must come to an end. So it was especially sweet to return yesterday after grabbing burritos next door, walking in and seeing my buddy Dave sitting there at the bar, smiling at me. Great guy. Looks exactly the same. And guess who I saw next? Mary! And then Mike, who always paid for drinks, super generous guy. And more people. It was kind of like a homecoming of sorts. And it hit me. Conway's isn't really a bar at all. More like a room full of good people, a happy place with beautiful, slightly fuzzy memories. That's Conway's.

    I surprised my wife for our 10yr anniversary last night at Conway's! The bartenders made it such an Awesome experience! They really deserved credit for really going out of their way to make this happen. If you want to go have a GREAT time head over there. Lots of TV's, tables and a very enjoyable atmosphere!

    Great prices! Bar tender isn't an uppidy snob either, just a cool dude! Great for a quick drink before or after a movie.

    Food was not good. Fries had obviously been cooked much earlier in day & sitting out for hours.

    By far the best bar in the North County for one reason....the bartender Mike. Awesome guy. Always paying attention to his fellow drinkers.

    Visited Cork and Craft with my mama tribe the Saturday before Mother's Day around 7pm and were…read morehonestly surprised we were able to snag reservations so easily last minute. The staff was very warm and welcoming, though throughout the evening it definitely felt like they may have been short staffed and stretched a bit thin. Since we were headed to a movie after dinner, we decided to keep things light and share appetizers plus dessert. We tried the Fried Shishito Peppers, Veggie Potstickers, Grilled Broccolini, Rosemary Garlic Fries, Whipped Burrata, Garlic Noodles, Salmon Poke Tacos, and Lamb Chops. Overall, the food was decent but nothing especially memorable. The lamb chops were cooked nicely but could have used more seasoning, and the poke tacos were tasty but tiny -- literally about the size of my pinky for each taco. We were disappointed they had sold out of both the Crème Brûlée Bread Pudding and the Budino, which were the desserts we originally wanted to try. Thankfully, the Butter Toffee Cake completely saved dessert for us -- absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a cute spot with good vibes for a girls night, but the food itself didn't quite live up to the hype for us.

    I arrived to pick up the order and waited 20 minutes, only to be told you don't have it. Turn off…read moredelivery if you're not handling it! Terrible place. I came for the second time--one employee says the order will be prepared, another says you don't have such an order. Why are you wasting people's time?! And you mark the order as ready when it's not. Awful place...
