Considering this place is in the heart of downtown San Diego and is usually busy, it is my pleasure to recommend this place in regards to one of their servers. Cielo has been one of the best if not THE BEST server i've ever had. read more

Woweeee!!!! The Garage Kitchen is the Business!!! . Came here during happy hour a little after 3p. Now be mindful the $6 burger and fries happy hour is between 3pm and 4pm and after 4pm the drinks are 51% off excepts specialty drinks and tops shelf. There some other specials but you can check them out in the pics below. First let me say that Amanda I believe her name was; her customer service was warm and welcoming. She was so awesome. She seated me immediately and knowing it was so so hot outside, she came to the table with a glass of ice water already in hand!!!!! Baby let me tell you she definitely knows how to treat the customers. This made me smile as I knew I would be back just because of the hospitality. Ordering the happy hour burger and fries with everything on it (I wanted to see if a friend of mine who recommended it was telling the truth). When Amanda named what all came on the burger!! Omg it sounded like it was going to be heaven!!!! And Was!!!! When it arrived to my table the kitchen server came to the table and the plate looked amazing!!! You know the burgers you see on tv and you go the place and it's it far from it?? Well not here honey it was a beautiful burger lol brought a tear to my eye no seriously tho take a look at the pics below and if your mouth ain't watering and you don't want to go tomorrow... you ain't living your life right!!!! The taste baby!!! The beef patty was seasoned to perfection and needed no additional salt at all!! It was perfect!! I had to cut the burger and take the rest home but it was just that good and the fries were so crispy and delicious!!! You can't beat this Happy Hour!!! Don't walk run ‍ they have happy hours listed below in the pics. Now don't say I didn't put you on to a cool hip atmosphere with great food and happy hour!!! The establishment was spacious and I love the layout. It appeared like they not only had a downstairs but an upstairs too. The bar was nice and it had enough room for large groups. It was nice to see they had caption tv that had the sport games on. I believe there was 3 or 4 downstairs alone not sure about upstairs. As always you can thank me later when your tummy is grateful you came here read more

Stopped for dinner with friends before a concert at the Rady Shell. My little cheese head heart was crushed to see this is the local Minnesota Vikings restaurant and bar haha! The restaurant was pretty empty as it was early for a Friday night to get dinner. And we were able to get a round or two in for happy hour before we had to make our way to the show. We didn't realize it was connected to the Shout House right next door which was pretty cool. The food was delicious! Sliders and burger was very filling, the fries perfectly crispy! The drinks were good, service phenomenal for a party as large as ours, and a great atmosphere to hang out with friends read more

Came here specifically for happy hour before a concert at Petco Park. My friends were excited to enjoy a few cocktails and wines during happy hour. Unfortunately, we found out that not all drinks are 51% off. Only beer and select drinks are discounted, and none of the specialty cocktails qualify. One friend ordered a mezcal margarita, which was $7.50 after the discount, while another ordered a canned watermelon drink for $8 with no discount. It's definitely worth asking which drinks are included before ordering. For food, we ordered the sliders. The patties were a bit dry, but the brioche buns were decent(3/5). We also had the short ribs tacos and brussels sprouts. While the short ribs were flavorful and well cooked (4/5), but the brussels sprouts with the crispy ham bits were just okay (3/5). One tip: if you want to try Bob's Burger for just $6.50, make sure you order it before 2pm. After that, the price jumps to $18. read more

One of the best happy hour spots in Gaslamp especially if you're hanging out for a Padres game. We made it out here just in time to get the end of the early happy hour around 11am and try their $6 burger special. Pretty good burger, cool bar on the inside with lots of TVs for the variety of sports playing. From the inside decor I believe this is Minnesota Vikings fan bar. Out front they have a patio area as well. I was out here in San Diego a few weeks ago bar crawling before a padres evening game and this was by far my favorite place we came to. They had great service, didn't make in difficult to figure out they're happy hour times or specials read more

Upon entering this restaurant, you are surrounded by red brick walls and lots of warm lighting signs and lamps. It truly does look more like a garage man-cave. I ordered the following below: *Avocado/Bacon Burger: 3.5/5 - Its a solid burger. Generous portion sizes with the bacon and avocado, you can really taste the flavor in all the supporting condiments, however, the meat patty did seem bland. *Truffle Mac n Cheese: 2/5 - I usually love and crave mac n cheese especially with a truffle topping. This was not it. There was rarely or any kind of cheese taste, the macaroni was okay. I was a bit disappointed as this looked appealing but was mediocre. *Truffle Fries: 4/5 - Honestly pretty good. These were crispy good sized season fries. Definitely the highlight of my meal. *Buffalo Chicken Wings: 4/5 - Solid chicken wings, tasted very fresh, buffalo sauce was tasty. Spicy yet tangy. It's a solid spot if you have a group of friends that are picky eaters, they have a variety of many foods there. They do have a special called crazy bob's burger during happy hour where the whole meal is $6. Honestly such a steal of the price if you're on a budget. The restaurant was very accommodating with our group size of 9 individuals. The service was exceptional. read more

Home to the Minnesota Vikings fan during football season. I'm surprised I haven't ate here at this restaurant. My Bestie and I went here before our comedy show and we were not disappointed. There was no wait when we went , I was able to see the ambience of the restaurant. It is so cute when it's stressed up for the Minnesota Viking fans All we ordered was Parmesan truffle fries, and pork belly fried rice and even though it was just a little appetizer we had before our show it was so delicious. We also had some of the cocktails. My favorite is the " young, dumb and broke." That Drink, it is so tasty. This bar is also connected to the shout house, so definitely this is worth coming back again! read more

How can you beat a six dollar burger and fries for lunch? Not only is it a good deal, but it's also a great burger. I was pretty surprised on how big the burger was too, coming with two patties 8/10. The place is also a fun and quaint bar with cabin or lodge like vibes 7.5/10. Service was great, seems like they work in teams, so someone was always asking if we needed anything 9/10. read more

My friends and I came for the lunch special on a Friday: $6 for burgers and fries! Servers were helpful enough, though they didn't seem to pay much attention to any of the people there for lunch other than to take the initial order, which was fine. The burger and fries were fantastic for $6, would definitely come again. It came out pretty quickly so we made good time on our lunch hour. The restaurant itself was clean and had good bar vibes. read more

Stumbled upon this place in Downtown SD for brunch, we were seated right when they opened and they took care of us right away. It's such a cute restaurant, the door is literally a garage so there is an indoor and an outdoor. It has some western vibe to it, they even have an upstairs which I assume they open later in the day. They play some good music too, it was nice to just hang out with some breakfast and dranks while watching the football game. My husband enjoyed it! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was delicious, it was very filling and my husband ordered an omelette. We both enjoyed our food and our drinks, we stayed there for awhile while waiting for our massage appointment. Servers were attentive as well, even though it started to get busy. Highly recommend this place for brunch in downtown SD, hope you enjoy your time as much as we did! read more

Wow, pleasantly surprised how good the food was. We went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and expected typical bar food, but shocked how good it was. The menu is small which makes sense if everything is good. We ordered the tacos sampler and ahi nachos. The tacos were really good and flavorful that we ordered a second serving. The ahi nachos with the edamame paste was also great. Others in our party ordered burgers, steak salad, and wings which all looked very good. As for service, good service overall. Drinks were reasonable good and priced. read more

Girls weekend in SD and we chose the Garage for our Saturday get up and go. Such a fun place! Wait staff was nice, attentive, and welcoming. If you love Bloody Mary's...just get the 32oz. It was perfect! Only thing missing from the accoutrements, was bacon and or pickles. All of our breakfast choices were DELISH! The atmosphere was fun, and they play fun, dance in your seat music. Don't forget your photo opp on your way out. read more

We stopped at Garage Kitchen + Bar for our Wednesday pre-Padres game lunch. We'd heard about the "Crazy Bob's Burger" deal. A burger and fries for six bucks! Served only twice per day between 11:00AM-noon and 3:00PM-4:00PM. It is a screaming deal! A juicy burger topped with white cheddar cheese, LTO, pickles and Thousand Island dressing all in a fantastic brioche. A very generous helping of hot out of the fryer fries, perfectly cooked and salted. Even a pickle spear on the side! Deb was our bartender, and she was outstanding! Super friendly, super cute and attentive. Four of us started at the bar, but decided a 4-top would be better. Deb happily helped us move to the table. We would absolutely return. read more

Having a great happy hour/ burger special hour here on a Saturday! Specials on a Saturday are rare, so we came to check this one out and they did not disappoint. Leo took great care of us, we didn't have to wait for a single thing. Food was generous and delicious, came out fresh, fast and hot. Great drinks. Seemed like good teamwork amongst the staff, everyone seemed to be helping each other. The $6 burger is a steal, it is delicious and you almost feel guilty that you only pay 6 bucks. Good vibes, they had the game we wanted to watch on TV right in front of us, and we felt like everyone cared about the customers here. Thumbs up to Garage! read more

5/11/2025 - Garage Kitchen + Bar - Gaslamp Edition Parking? Forget about it. It's Gaslamp--park like a local and emotionally detach from your car for a few hours. Once you survive that urban jungle, Garage Kitchen & Bar makes it worth the trauma. They were going through a theme glow-up, so the vibe was a little "Pinterest mood board meets identity crisis"--but honestly, we were into it. It's like the bar was trying on different personalities and we were here to cheer it on. The bartender was a gem and whipped up a mystery cucumber cocktail that was so refreshing, it had us flirting with sobriety (but only for a second). We brainstormed names like "Cool Runnings," "Spa Water with a Kick," and "Cuke Me Up, Scotty"... nothing stuck, but the buzz did. The chicken & waffles? Golden. Crispy. Sweet and savory perfection. Like brunch and soul food had a delicious little love child. The pork belly hash was hearty and dense so not for the faint of heart. And don't you dare leave without trying the cereal shot flight--nostalgia in a shot glass, with just enough booze to make your inner child feel scandalous. 10/10 would return... if I can parallel park without having a breakdown. read more

Came here on a Sunday after I found out this was also a Vikings fans bar. Their season isn't going well so there wasn't much of a crowd but I still wanted to see myself. There is an upper deck with a big screen to show games so very spacious spot. Not sure if it's every touchdown but they give the Vikings blood shot each time for free. I got their crazy burger deal and oh man! What a great deal and meal! Would definitely go back just for that!! This spot shares same bathrooms as Shout House which is right next to this spot. read more

Heard about this place and wanted to try it out. It's located in the Gaslamp district and is very family friendly. They have happy hour 3pm-6pm everyday. That included 51% off all drinks and $3 off all apps. I loved the ahi tuna poke nachos! They were delicious and will definitely get these again. There wasn't much of a wait and they got us seated within 10 minutes during happy hour. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more casual vibe! read more

We got here 5 minutes before they opened on a Saturday morning and there was 3 parties ahead of us. Once inside, we quickly ordered. We had the cereal shots which were so yummy but definitely felt it later. The espresso was ok but not something I'd recommend or get again. I had the chicken wrap which was so juicy and delicious. A friend had the bottomless mimosas but a couple of glasses in, they ran out of OJ. Service was good and fast at first but then you could tell she was busy. With tables inside and outside it was hard to flag her down for another mimosa and her attitude started to show (at another table) This place is definitely a must try when in town! Music is loud and gets you in the mood to have a good time! read more

Trash racist place asked every table upstairs if they need another drink or anything except our table! Didn't even want to bring out check. The Ethiopian girl from the front had to come and close is out. Overall food was trash and the worst "michelada " I've ever had. Sunday Nov 2nd 11am upstairs. The 2 girls serving one white the other some what Asian were awful. I am middle Eastern my friend is white/Philippino. They intentionally ignored us, and when the white girl came to me grabbed the plates of our finished food didn't even ask if we wanted anything else but asked every other table. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. We were walking around looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon Garage. The gentleman at the door was super nice and asked us where we wanted to sit and we chose the bar. The bartender waited on us immediately and took our drink orders. We ordered the fries with 3 dipping sauces for an appetizer and knew we were in for a good dinner because they were delicious. When it was time to order dinner. My wife ordered the short ribs and I ordered the French dip sandwich ( those who read my reviews know I'm a French dip snob). Both were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! The French dip was maybe top 5 which is very difficult to crack my top 5. My wife's short rib was amazing, the only feedback is the carrots needed a little more time. Both bartenders, male and female were outstanding. The door gentlemen was outstanding and the manager was outstanding. If you are in San Diego Gas lamp area stop here, you won't be sorry. read more

What we had was Okay at best. Wings were "cooked" not baked or fried, just cooked. The BBQ plate was mid. The sausage was cold, the pork was flavorless. The brisket was decent, but you can tell it had been sitting under a heat lamp all day. The platter was listed for "two people" but the sides were literally a sauce dish. Would like to give them another shot for the burger special but other than that, I will not come back read more

Happy hour on a weekend in Gaslamp SD? Yes! On top of that $7 for Bob's burger with fries. Burger was delicious! The pickle was crunchy too. The fries could have been fresher. We also got the coconut shrimp and they were pretty pricey for the quantity and taste. I wouldn't get it again. Service was great! Did wish they served milkshakes. read more

We had such a great experience! Trinity, our host, was incredibly kind and accommodating. I accidentally made our reservation for the wrong day, but she handled the situation with so much patience and professionalism. We still had to wait for a table, which was completely understandable, but she made us feel welcome the entire time. Our server, Cielo, was absolutely amazing. She seemed to be everywhere at once, making sure every table was taken care of, yet she still made our experience feel personal. She took the time to connect with us, never made us feel rushed, and genuinely cared about providing great service. You could tell she was working incredibly hard, and she never let it affect her attitude. Both Trinity and Cielo made our visit memorable. Outstanding hospitality from start to finish an absolute 10/10, would definitely recommend! read more

Sat at the bar and had a few beers a margarita and a Bloody Mary while watching the game. Service was amazing, they were always checking on us. Cool vibes here, we enjoyed it so much we came back the same day but in the evening and sat at a table and had some wings and more beer, jeez I sound like I got a problem. Anyways it was all very good you should check it out for yourself! read more

Great happy hour deals -- $9 beers for $4.50 and a $6 burger & fries. But when the bill came, the 25% tip suggestion was based on full menu prices, not the discounted happy hour prices. In 40+ years of happy hours, I've never seen that -- it's deceptive and not fair to customers. read more

Garage Kitchen and Bar in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. Limited street parking. Private garage parking was under 40 bucks which was ouchie :( and we still had to walk 3 blocks, not happy when inconvenienced. The garage is quiet honestly a sports bar with full bar service, a restaurant with multiple tv screens in a brick walled space with additional seating upstairs, indoor and outdoor. The owner is a Minnesota football Vikings fan and many customers do come here frequently to support the Vikings football team and watch the games. My friend is of Norwegian descent and is a hugh Vikings fan and birds of a feather flick together... lots of Vikings here :) Ironically, it's been since 1992 that the Vikings won at home against the 49ers. Todays game and ultimate Vikings win was a nail biter, exciting and fun. I like to think that Fendi and I being present here were Lucky Charms for the teams win lol The menu offered is Sunday brunch with limited selections. I was disappointed that wings, pizza and pasta were not on this brunch menu. I instructed our waiter to tell the owner, that's what we wanted or we would leave. Evidently the owner and kitchen staff agreed and accommodated my request. Because when watching NFL football, you should be able to eat whatever you want regardless of the time of day, especially wings! Ordered the buffalo wings naked with the dipping sauce on the side. Also tried the wings with asian spices called Beijing wings and they were delectably good. Again, during sports events on tv, the menus should offer popular football foods all day long. Service by the staff was great, our waiters today and from our previous visit were great. Staff were attentive, nice and followed up to make sure we were good. Our table and other tables were cleared immediately. The crowd around me were mostly Vikings fans and they were all loud and vocal. All our positive energy helped the Vikings win. Everyone was feeling good. Go Vikings!! The Garage made it a fun experience. Recommend. read more

The bar is located right next to the Shout House. We went here for Happy Hour before our party next door. They had a great happy hour with 51% off drinks, excluding some specialty cocktails. Some of the food items were $2-3 off. We ordered a lot of drinks and food. It was good bar food. My favorites were the Ahi nachos and Carne Asada fries. The 5 side chicken wings were a little plain and shrimp tacos were soggy that night. read more

Found this spot by accident while hunting for Happy Hour! Garage Kitchen + Bar has an amazing $6 burger special that is a total win--it was huge, fresh, and came with a ton of fries which had some kind of delicious seasoning on it as well. Their margaritas are also spot on (not too sugary, just enough alcohol). I really loved the vibe, friendly service and the high energy of the restaurant.
