First time visiting, looking to try something new. Something more than just drinks. I give this a 5…read morestar review and I will tell you why. 1. They have a calendar of events, like open mic, karaoke, country social, trivia night, live music and more fun stuff. They also had two pool tables and TVs for watching sports. 2. The drinks are pretty well priced. While they do not offer food, they do welcome outside food. Which is cool if you have a specific craving that wouldn't normally be at a bar/pub. 3. Tonight was live music and the band had a really chill vibe and had good musicians. (Lunar conspiracy ) 4. It's not a huge place but it had plenty of seating, a dance floor and outdoor seating. 5. Last but not least they have friendly service. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, and they were accommodating. I plan to go back and check out some of the other events. Tonight was not a packed night, but I'll have to compare it to other event nights in the future. If you are in the area you might already know about them but if you don't, I say give it a shot.

My friends and I stopped by The Hills Pub for breakfast, and we definitely left happy!…read more We ordered the all-you-can-eat waffles, and let me just say--they are very much worth it! If you're a waffle lover, this is definitely something you'll want to try. I ordered the Breakfast Burger, and it was delicious! The flavor was on point and definitely worth trying. It also comes with fries, which were a great addition to the meal. And if you're a ranch lover, this is your spot! They do not disappoint when it comes to ranch. Overall, we had a great breakfast, and the food was flavorful and satisfying. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

We've been to Shakespeare's Pub & Grille a few times now and have loved it every time! They're one…read moreof the only bars in San Diego that show F1 races, so they usually get a pretty good turnout of fans. It's nice to find that kind of community, especially when you want to watch a race with people who are just as into it as you are. We came for the final race of the season a while back, and they opened early for it, which was so awesome! It really has that British pub vibe, and I love it. We tried their breakfast that day and really enjoyed it. Recently, we decided to come back for their Sunday roast because TikTok convinced me I needed to try one, and I'm so glad we did because it was phenomenal! The price is great for the amount of food you get, too. The roast was tender and juicy, and I'd never tried a Yorkshire pudding before. I loved the crispy yet chewy texture! The veggies were fresh, and the potatoes came mashed and crispy, both seasoned perfectly. The savory gravy tied everything together. We also got the fish and chips, which came in a good-sized portion with fresh fries. The onion rings were battered rather than breaded, which is my favorite, and these were thick, crispy, and came with a really good ranch dressing. Even the Caesar salad was surprisingly fresh for a pub! The service has also been great every time we've visited, even when the place is packed. Shakespeare's is such a good spot for food and drinks, but honestly, it's also one of my favorite places to catch an F1 race. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the community, it's definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out!

The only reason they get four stars is because I was hoping for mushy peas with my fish and chips…read more The breading on the fish is light. It has flavor. It's delicious. The chips are not french fries they're true chips. They're good. The servers are friendly. The atmosphere is very puppy always catch futbol match or an F1 race And the Guinness is the best in town

My name is Bassel. I will talk. I prefer heavy drinks and not beers. Beers consume too much space in my stomach, and from the surgery I had, I can't use it all. I prefer heavier drinks because without the slow trance, I do not feel like I weigh an extra 40lb. I drink Guinness here and this is why I CHOSE this pub. It is hard to find it served anywhere. If you want to see me drink through heavy drinks and be the most stable guy ever with amazing charisma, come to this bar. It's called Irish Tavern.

Stopped in for a few drinks after doing an escape room in the area…read more Definitely Irish pub vibe from the moment you walk in. Our waitress was very friendly. The drinks were a bit expensive IMO and so was the food, but all and all a good time was had all! Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

My home was only a 1/4 mile from the Fogg when I lived in San Diego. I used to love their Fish and…read moreChips and wings but you were always on edge while eating there because of the owner. He would get drunk and get nasty with the patrons. I always kept my distance from him as his wife would run the place while he sat at the same stool drinking. On more than one occasion, I saw him try to start a physical altercation with a customer. I saw a man come into the Fogg and try to apologize to the owner for an incident that happened the night before. Instead of accepting the man's apology, the owner threatened to slap the piss out of him if he ever set foot in his pub again. The owner and his wife always seemed to be arguing with their suppliers too and saying that the suppliers were trying to rip them off. I guess that I'm not really surprised that the Fogg closed.

We were greeted and seated quickly, came on a Sunday around 8:30 pm…read more Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu, gave us suggestions that at first we thought were just him kinda talking the dishes up, but dang whoever is cooking in the kitchen knows what's up! lol They knew how to sear a steak better than most! and made some amazingly moist/juicy perfectly fried chicken! I promise you it's really that good, please try both. Our cocktails were PERFECTLY made. The staff was on it, I mean you can tell they work as a team. Different ppl checking on us (but not in an overbearing way) clearing plates, making sure the food was to our satisfaction. Always filling waters. Very friendly. I haven't had this good of a restaurant experience in years. Idk if we just got lucky or this is how it always is here since today was our first visit, but we will definitely be back and hopefully capture this magic again lol Ambiance was ok, the other patrons were a little loud but I expect that on a Sunday late at night. Decor was interesting and place has a cool lounge area. Big bar! :) Highly recommend this place! :)

We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.

Came on a weekday for happy hour and had a terrible experience…read more There was no host at the host stand and when we asked a waitress if we should wait, she directed us to seat ourselves. We sat at a table and weren't approached for almost fifteen minutes. Staff just looked at us awkwardly and didn't say anything. I went over to the host stand when a girl finally showed up and asked if we had done something wrong, to which she scolded us for seating ourselves. I told her about what the waitress had said and told her that we would be happy to wait or move to which she rolled her eyes at me, and shoved menus at me before telling me "I guess since you're already sitting there, you can stay there". We should have walked out at that moment. The rest of the visit was awkward. The waitress we had initially interacted with ended up covering our table, and she made a comment about how we just sat ourselves and laughed at us. Really killed the vibe despite the view being nice and the space being chill. We ordered a Fire Dancer and a Wet Whistle, as well as pretzel bites and the guacamole. The drinks were decent, albeit the waitress spilled some of them on us as she was dropping them off. Pretzels were dried out, but the guacamole was good. Wouldn't come back for the service, but the view could be worth it if it improves.
