Both had never been,…read moreand were speechless (delighted) when we wandered through Balboa Park to arrive at this perfectly picturesque restaurant. We dined on the patio, under the most beautiful bouganvillea, the three of us for three wonderful hours. The food - always California spectacular, so different and fresh - the cocktails and service were sublime. This was the quintessential San Diego experience - even my New York City guest has gushed about this, to this day. Please do not miss this wonderful place. Special thanks to April Mergy - this was as good as it gets!

If it was just the small church it would be one thing but they also have a nice courtyard with hanging lights that could stand on its own. The beer itself was good but not typically what I like. What I go for usually is the super hazy ones and these were mostly hoppy but my wife liked them. The staff was super friendly and let us try a few before we picked. Overall a cool concept and a fun place to swing in for a beer.

How have I not reviewed Pure Project? They may be my favorite San Diego brewery (and that is saying…read moresomething). I prefer beer (and food) with flavor. PP definitely features some bold brews like triple IPAs and bourbon barrel-aged imperial stouts. If you prefer more crushable beverages, they also serve pilsner, blonde ale, and pale ale. They even have hard seltzers and smoothies, wine, cider, and more. Just check out their website: https://www.purebrewing.org/ They are a 1% for the Planet company. Bring in outside food. They also serve empanadas from Empanada Kitchen and one appears to be vegan. Bring your dog, too, so I can say hi. Check out their other locations. Joe's tip: whenever you see them at events, see if they have any half-price flight coupons!

She proceeded to harass me and call me a f*ggot several times, which while hilarious if I know you, is simply poor decorum amongst strangers. I alerted the bartender that I would like to be closed out because of my unpleasant experience. He proceeded to tell me that my check had been taken care of. I deeply appreciate the sentiment behind the gesture and will be back with friends to demonstrate my appreciation for how they handled the situation. Thank you!

I ordered the Margherita and it was incredibly flavorful, not bland at all like some places tend to be. The crust was perfection: crispy on the very thin outside, soft and airy on the inside and tasty, with that subtle sea salt coming through in every bite. It's honestly hard to explain, but the pizza just tastes phenomenal. You can tell real care goes into it. This place is a must-try, and I'll definitely be back.

I love all their brews from light pilsners, triple IPAs, and everything in between. They serve really good pub food so despite being surrounded by amazing food in San Diego, I still find myself ordering a burger, wings, or 24-hour brined chicken tenders. Service is always top notch with friendly bartenders and cooks who bring the food right to your table. Banker Hill is my favorite location as they always have a nice laid back crowd and overall great ambiance. A perfect stop when visiting Balboa Park.

From the spooky, dark, skulls old school ambiance and decor, to the experience of not ordering from a menu, everything about it made it feel unique and curated making it feel like a true individualized experience. As mentioned, there are no menus. We sat at the bar, the bartender makes casual conversation with you regarding the types of drinks you enjoy. He curated something for both my husband and I based on what we shared we enjoyed. The drinks were delicious. The entry was very cool! It felt as if you were entering a hidden spot - which you do. When you enter the restaurant, you let the hostess know you're there for the Noble Experience. She let us know to head to the wall with the kegs (which is actually a door). You enter and there's a small waiting area where you're greeted by another hostess. This place is a 20/10. We can't wait to return on our next visit to SD.
