    Cold beers in this tiny local and friendly bar, 1:2 places open in Coronado that closes at 2 am.
    Snowflake J.

    A local place that is not touristy with a very nice selection of beer. Locals is the ambiance and the history of men and women who've served on the Navy Seal teams. Service is friendly and pay a visit to see Navy history in this bar.

    They give proper tribute to Seals and much respect. But if you are only a veteran don't go.: the pool table is for seals only. If Dakota Meyer shows up then he can't play pool. Personally I would make it free for seals, discount for vets, and regular price for citizens. Crazy concept. Oh and when ya ask for WiFi code or. T shirts u are told they are to the left by the exit door. Asian girl bartender was not endearing . Rather pay extra to a seal charity foundation then be told no.

    I promised myself I wouldn't review Danny's.. Its where I escape to when I wanna pretend I'm Maverick in Top Gun. In fact, if you're single, you could probably serenade 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' here and not go home alone. My better half and I retreat here when we want a quiet afternoon Stella served arctic cold in a divey neon haze. An oasis refreshingly absent of waxed mustaches or selective-outrage politics, the Bartenders are engaging, thoughtful, and delightfully lacking in the typically jaded dead-end aura served up elsewhere. Hot fries and savory bar-burgers roll out in those welcoming red-baskets with the red n white picnic-pattern paper we love. I imagine it is one thing you dream of looking out the window on the ride home from Afghanistan. In fact, If the Cheeseburger here were any more American it'd be made of Eagle-meat and have a screaming jet engine. Pro-Tip: If you spot a Serviceman/Woman and the opportunity arises, buy 'em a beer or at least thank them for their service. Much of the important work they do is unlikely to ever reach the headlines. A good story is sure to follow. "The true champion of justice, if he intends to survive even for a short time, must necessarily confine himself to private life and leave politics alone." -- Socrates

    This place always has friendly service. And tons of history! This used to be a Mongols motorcycle club bar until the early 80's. As legend is told, a Team guy along with some buddies were regulars there until there was a fight with some Mongols. Apparently, one Mongol was killed, several other were hospitalized, and from then on it became a SEAL bar. Burgers are great!! I tried the Frank Special which is not on the menu, you just gotta know. It's a combo of the Ortega and Ranger. Decent tap selection with some local and standard brews also and bottle options. Full bar. Great bar food! PS. Don't go there looking for trouble unless you want to lose a fight, or worse .

    Super slam cheeseburger($16) and a $7.00!! side of fries?!

    I don't go to Danny's to drink or to shoot pool; I go to eat a Slamburger (quarter pound) or a Superslam (half pound).

    We spontaneously went to Coronado with a large group and no reservations. We ended up here because…read morethe place was relatively empty. They had good drink options and a menu that everyone could find something. I got the salmon and thought it was good but very plain and therefore expensive for what you got. We split the Brussels which were good, and others enjoyed the pot pie, gem salad, steak tacos, fish tacos and more. Overall everyone liked their food but none of the dishes blew us away.

    It does feel more like a dive bar than a sports bar to me. And yeah, it's partly because it's below…read morethe street, more like a basement, more introverted, and good if you want to be on Orange Ave., but don't want to "feel" like you're on Orange Ave. I only ordered an IPA, so I can't comment on the drinks. The food is good I guess. The wagyu taco had a nice flavor and the greens with the sauce made it work. I don't think it's actually wagyu, but the word is pretty much meaningless at this point. For the crust, I found it to be way too chewy rather than light and flaky. I couldn't even cut it with my spoon anymore and had to pick up a long thing of crust and pull it apart with my teeth. I will allow that the gravy and other contents are bland and generic since if it had as much flavor as I actually want, other customers will be complaining about it. But the crust I cannot forgive. Overall it was not bad though. Surprisingly, my favorite item was the brussels sprouts. Even with all the seasoning and cheese, I found the flavor to be well balanced. Even after most of the plate, I noticed I didn't find it too salty. I really like the menus in the crappy brown folders. I think they might've also done it because it's easy and cheap, but it works well with the aesthetic they have.

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness! Live long and prosper. End log. Captain 619

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay. Also, can't say I'm a huge fan of the tiny lettuce whenever I see it. Overall, this joint is not bad, but I can think of very little about it that stands out. I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.

    We had a very good experience at The Henry. We visited with another couple for a pre-Mother's day…read moredinner. Service was impeccable. Our server was Chris and he was OUTSTANDING...very attentive and very friendly. Both managers visited our table several time to make sure we were good. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that what I had was just a bit underwhelming. We ordered the braised beef potstickers, california roll, and grilled and chilled shrimp for appetizers. The meat in the potstickers was very mushy. The california roll was decent. The grilled and chilled shrimp were fine. My husband had the filet - ordered medium well, served medium...the twice baked potato was very small and seemed to be overcooked. I had the lemon chicken entree - the taste was good, but was just a bit dry...it was served with fries, which was fine. The other couple ordered the skirt steak and the braised short ribs which they seemed to enjoy. My drink was amazing - the Amalfi Spritz. For dessert, we tried the butter cake...again, a bit underwhelming and not really good on flavor...I did taste the toffee and caramel, but the cake itself had no taste. Overall, I would go back because of the service, the drinks, and the ambiance.

I had a delicious granola bowl, a few people in my group had the Eggs Benedict on the house-made English muffins (so good) and there was a very happy avocado toast in the mix. We shared an epic French toast with magical cinnamon syrup - really recommend the French toast!! Loved it enough to add it to the rotation when visiting San Diego.

Our orders were taken quickly, and large waters with lemon were brought out to us. Our burgers came out in about 7 minutes and they were just what the doctor ordered. :) My chicken burger was especially delicious, and I'd asked for extra pickles, and let's just say that the Hodad's chefs did not disappoint. There had to be at least 15 pickles on this bad boy. YUM! Onion rings were crispy and delicious. M. loved his burger and as usual, his only complaint was that he wished it was bigger. Haha. We enjoyed our food and the fun, kitschy Hodad's dining area. I feel like every time I come here, I spot something on the walls, or dangling from somewhere, that I haven't seen before. It's always a good time at Hodad's and it is certainly worth a visit if you haven't been here before. Keep in mind they do have a limited menu (burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fries, rings, shakes & some beverages and beers.) However, the table next to us ordered shakes and they looked hella good. Next time for us, for sure!! Mahalo!
