This place is super cool. TVs all around, plus a pool table and shuffleboard. The beer menu is…read moreamazing, and they've got solid food options too. I had a Trillium IPA, which you almost never see on tap around here so that was a great surprise. They're dog friendly and even give out dog treats. The space is big with tons of seating, dim lighting, and a really relaxed vibe. Staff were friendly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

So much so, that she has a beautiful tattoo of them on her arm! Obviously, we're hitting the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden! It was whelming. Not quite a full bloom this year. (we'll see a better one in a few reviews...stay tuned). And what better way to satiate your appetite after a brisk walk around the Cherry Blossom trees? The staple. The spot. The Prado! Only here for some morsels, as other plans have been made. Luckily, the Cantina Menu works perfectly! Guac and chips are a perfect pairing for the margaritas that are about to be ordered. Eating light, because like Remo Williams, the adventure beings! (nobody's going to get this) However, how can you say no to this intoxicating enchantress who guides you on a savory side quest? And it paid off! The food was delicious! We shall return to explore more of the menu. The drinks are here! Blood Orange Margarita for your amigo, because you can't say "tajin on the rim" & me NOT want it. My lovely lady doesn't miss a beat with her Spicy Mezcal Margarita. She likes her drinks like her man, strong & spicy. *flattery will get you anywhere* I cannot complete my review without saying how nice everyone is here. Our server was delightful & so ready to suggest any alternative as we were about to ask. "Gl..." Yes, we have a gluten free option. "Um..." Yes, we can put this on the side. Mind readers, I say! Lovely pitstop when you're on the go. Or if you have time, come check out the happy hour. TL:DR - The right one makes anywhere the right place.

I love that this place is dog friendly. The servers and hostess are nice and their food is ok. I…read morelove the atmosphere so for this they get 4 stars. I was here for happy hour, otherwise I would not pay 17$ or 23$ for fish tacos. I loved their birria queso dip and their fish tacos were very decent. The carrot cake was also pretty mild and good. I did not like the mole chicken wings, but then again I dont like mole anything. The rolled tacos lacked a good bit of meat and the happy hour prices were hardly "happy" hour prices, but again, this place was awesome to chill at and the atmosphere is quite cool. Sometimes thats all you need. An awesome vibe amd environment and good servers!

Hands down my favorite new pizza spot. Far Corner Pizza absolutely nails it. The bread alone is…read morenext level it somehow tastes like it's made with East Coast water (IYKYK) and like a hint of sea salt. 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'm not sure about this place yet. I don't know why but the bartender couldn't get my card to work…read moreand he kept telling me that it's not working and I told him it should be fine because well why wouldn't it be and he struggled for a bit eventually he got help from another bartender. As soon as that bartender helped me it went through. I went during their happy hour, and I got their blonde. The glass that I was served in had this egg like smell - that threw off my pallet a bit by the time I received my food. For food, I ordered the pizza munchkins. Which was basically just like a little round breadsticks with Parmesan cheese on top and on the side it came with spiced shakshuka sauce, poached egg and cilantro. The bread was very tasty. It was warm. You can tell that it was fresh. I felt like the sauce needed a bit more acid and salt. Especially the poached egg. I felt like it needed some salt. And I could tell that they had just poached the egg and they were keeping it in warm water because it was really firm. Texture wise the bread was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the egg or sauce. The ambience it seems like there's a lot of seating once you walk in. It was pretty empty when I got there, but by the time I received my food, it filled up pretty quickly. And there's even an area for families to dine in the back area where the coffee shop normally is. I wasn't that impressed but I'm gonna try and come through one of these days for the coffee and see if I have a better experience.

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.

Started out with a hazy while perusing the menu, and decided on the Patty melt. It was slightly overcooked, but still had plenty of juice to the meat. Fries weren't crisp so they could have been fried a bit longer. Tried a Vienna lager and a few more of the hazy's. Ambiance is rustic industrial, service was at the counter, and prices are in line with the area.

My brother-in-law and I were looking for places to drink....And we just wanted somewhere chill. We…read moreknew that any bar by tacos el gordo would be too wild for us, so we walked a couple blocks and approached Noble Experiment. I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too. Felt like I was going inside some continental room like John Wick. Definitely my vibe and definitely coming back. But if you ever get Garrick as your bartender, you're in for a treat!

You walk into the barrels, down the mirrors, and into the skull room...IYKYK no less. The waits to get very deadly so make sure to put your name on the list early. Service: 9/10 The host was chill, and we had Quintin as our mixologist. There are no menus he told us, he just went off of our flavors, and palate, so I can't really speak for how to order the same drink. First drink: 9/10 (profile) Vodka bases with cucumber and strawberry. Second drink: 8.5/10 (profile) Smokey, deep old fashion. Overall a MUST-GO to if you're in the area stopping by!

Harland in South Park is hands down one of my favorite spots. I've always come here for coffee, but…read morelately my go-to drink has been a hot yerba mate with strawberry syrup. So good and such a comforting combo. That said, Harland is way more than just a coffee shop. It's also a brewery and a full food spot with solid options from breakfast through dinner. Today I stopped in for lunch and ordered the chicken tenders tossed in hot honey, to go. Wow easily some of the best I've had. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. I also love that you get fries with your meal... I know that sounds crazy but the majority of the restaurants in the area are expensive for what you get. Which most of the time is just the entree alone without any sides. This place lets you pick between a salad or fries. Both solid options and they give you generous portions. What really stood out was the staff. They were incredibly thoughtful and made sure to put the hot honey on the side (and plenty of it!) so the tenders wouldn't get soggy. That extra attention to detail made the meal even better. Not to mention how warm and inviting the location is as well. It is in the heart of South Park, which alone is already such a cute little part of SD. Between the drinks, the food, and the consistently great service, I keep coming back and at this point, I'm definitely a regular. Can't wait for my next visit!

First timer! This is…read morea really cool, popular S park spot. We visited around brunch time and there was a steady stream of people. And for a good reason, great beer and very tasty food. Start w michelada and of course Donna's pickle beer. The food was delish, chicken sandy and double smashed. Small suggestion: The kale Cesar needed something. Might I suggest a current or dried cherry w either crispy pork belly or nuts. this is a great spot and the server was really helpful and very nice, shout out to Gulia!!
