Best pub grub in SD The Spicy Chicken the best anywhere I get the Argentinian, which is a lightly marinated steak with arugula, cheese and chimichurri sauce. Super good. They're hamburgers are among the best in San Diego. This place definitely knows how to make pub grub. read more

Harbor Town Pub - Arcade side - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Harbor Town Pub in Point Loma is one of the places my friend likes to go to because it's casual, offers food/drinks, tv monitors throughout and music blasting so loud you can't have a conversation which is perfect since he's not there to talk. The place is dark, dank but looks clean enough approachable. There's a room with arcade games which attracts adults and children. This pub is also dog friendly. All the female staffers are not friendly and not helpful, despite the fact my friend is a regular..is NOT good service. The polar opposite effect from the male staffers who are friendly helpful and cool. There's limited spaces at the back for free parking. After parking and upon entry from the back door, you order and prepay for your drink and food from the counter before finding a place to sit. The staffers will bring your food and drink, no table service after that if you're in a booth. Service at the bar isn't any better since the one bartender seems to get overwhelmed and service falters :( My friend is a typical swm: single white male who likes beer, whiskey and bar food to his health detriment. He finds this place tolerable and it's one of his hangouts. This pub can be considered a dive to some or just a cool get away pub for others. The menu does have some edible foods: Brussel Sprouts, Fries and Poke nachos all of which I've tried, when I had a minute to seat and stay. My friend has tried nearly everything on the menu but his favorite are the burgers and the fish and chips. Good service is sadly inconsistent but Harbor Town Pub has been here for years and it's a community anchor located close to the harbor. Caveat emptor! read more

Did somebody say Happy Hour?!!!!! HTP never fails, and my recent visit was more of the same. The music is always bangin', the food is always delicious, and the crew is supremely awesome. Here you'll find delicious burgers, fresh salads, and beautiful fish (relying on my +1's for that part). Came out for an afternoon lunch that ended up spilling into a beautiful Thursday happy hour, 3pm-6pm, experience. For lunch, I enjoyed a spectacular, juicy, and deftly seasoned burger with chopped bacon, pickled jalapeño, and you guessed it, BLUE CHEESE BABY! This 1/3 lb burger, $15.95, was thick, cooked to perfection (the standard is medium so if you don't like medium just tell them your preference), and served with beautifully crispy fries. I'm more of a 1/2 lb burger man, so I should have added an additional patty for about $5-6, but I still had my fill. But as lunch waned on, happy hour kicked up the excitement with a straight plinko style showcase that included a recurring drumroll and a rotating highlight of a different special every 30 minutes. Let's gooo! This created a vibrant shift away from my delicious, yet dwindling burger. Can you say $3 whiskeys, with a $2 upcharge to make it an Old Fashion? Or how about $3 Pacificos, or $5 Moscow Mules? Each of which were one of the highlighted specials during the 6-30 minute specials during happy hour. Accidentally or otherwise, I indulged in several, whilst making new friends at the bar-Heyyy Grant and Claire! I really enjoy this kind of happy hour experience and they definitely knock it out of the park with this one. Shout out to bartenders BEN and NINA who not only provided 5 star service, but consistently kept the vibes on 10! Did I mention they play good music hear, from older hits to hip-hop classics, I often find myself singing along to hits from yesteryear. I didn't play any games, but they've recently expanded with even more games and seating. If you're into to pinball or those pop-a-shot type basketball games, this might be your go to spot for food, drinks, and fun. Many thanks to the cast and crew at HTP! You guys rock! Note: If you like Waterfront in LIttle Italy or The Hills in La Mesa, you'll be happy to know they're all under the same ownership and share a some similarities. Enjoy! read more

This place was such a pleasant surprise! Completely unassuming from the outside but right when you walk in you're welcomed by the fun decor, great energy, plenty of games, and tons of TVs. You order at the window and they bring your food to you. We shared the wings and I got the Chinese chicken salad. Both were good but I would probably try different things next time. The waffle fries looked really good I was eyeing the persons food next to me. Will definitely be back again! read more

Gotta admit that the food here always hits the spot each time I come in here. You really can't go wrong with whatever is on their menu as each item is flavorful. I got the Jalapeno Burger and a side of garlic fries, if you're a fan of that you already know what you'e getting yourself into. We also got the Cali Burrito which the meat was highly bomb.com Super cool vibe, friendly staff and food came out in a timely manner. Will for sure be back. read more

What a fun spot! We came here during a game and the place was full of energy. Loved the selection of arcade games for kids and adults alike. Lots of room for a big group as well! I was very happy with the food. Brussels sprouts were such a large portion, and the seared ahi salad was fresh and delicious! Definitely a gem of a spot. read more

What I ate (and I did eat 95% of it because I was starving and didn't dare wait another 35 minutes for another option), was overcooked, and since it was fried that meant blackened crusties and rubbery dried out fish, all served on a burnt bun. I get it...kitchens get backed up, sometimes staff doesn't show up, sometimes you have a newbie. But I did offer to pay for my drinks and cancel my order long before it arrived...but instead was forced to wait on this, overcooked and burnt (the irony). Waitress gave a heads up they were backed up...that was a plus, two tables ahead finally got their food...but then there was nothing else coming out of the kitchen, and those tables had now had enough time to consume their food and were lounging and relaxing. So I went to the front to cancel the order and a fella hopped out of a booth from behind on over to the register. I say it's been over a half an hour let's just cancel the order. His reply was to look up the order time, and then tell me it has been "33 minutes" as though that was a logical rebuttal and I was being unreasonable. He refused to let me pay for the drinks telling me the salad is done and that we were waiting on the sandwich (never crossing his mind that perhaps he could at least offer to wrap it up to go). So not being permitted to pay and cancel I went back to the table and waited. The same guy delivered the food. When the waitress immediately came over after, I had already had a chance to see the burnt piece of fish and burnt bun, and sadly, waved her away...what was I going to do? There was nothing to say. I couldn't complain, I couldn't ask for a replacement, I was forced to wait for burnt food. I had plans, was late and had to make alternate arrangements. Not life altering but annoying...I survived. What was insulting was the waitress brought over a card after I had paid...a free round on the house. First off, nobody was drinking. Second, could have spared me the wait time, and could have just not forced me to pay for burnt food. Host, manager, owner? Not sure what his role was...but missed an opportunity to just cut the losses. I heard the salad at our table was good, crunchy buffalo chicken. There were lots of ads for specials so they do try as a community bar to keep folks interested and engaged. Games on one side for the kids (or big kids). But having driven 90 minutes, wouldn't go out of my way to come back (too many other options). There was a guy on a bench outside who was sipping on a soda, looked like he was passing through with his backpack, so I gave him the card, go in, have a soda, watch a game...hopefully they honored it. I would not say don't go. but I would say to the register gatekeeper...do better. And definitely appreciate your staff, they at least had attentive servers. P.S. Need to keep dogs on the patio. My SD was tucked perfectly at alert under me, and on three separate occasions in the one visit had to physically block dogs from coming under the table (passerby's with drunk oblivious owners). In one instance had to shove my leg out pushing the dog back (ironically this same dog had been sitting with the register guy, so likely a local regular)...I repeatedly told his owner, "no, No, NO!" So that didn't help my experience either...all that after I had to get up and stand and argue about cancelling my order (which the quick position change and standing resulted in an episode with my blood pressure and heart rate). It was just a hot hot mess that should have been better handled. read more

They have really great food. I have the best brunch on Sundays, yummy bacon, and everybody there is so nice and helpful and friendly. The only problem is it's very loud but it's fine especially for the younger people, but a lot of older people go to like me. read more

Food was good, servers, bar tenders were amazing and chill, relaxed atmosphere. You can sit and chill and watch the game or get a little competitive. Dogs are welcome which I love. The only downside is that they have carpet inside which is great to walk on but not so great when our fur babies have accidents :( May be time to switch to tile or something else. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the space which was exactly what was needed to start the weekend. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood bars. Great drinks, yummy food, and fun, friendly bartenders. They'll make you feel like a regular right away. Has a fun hideaway vibe. I highly recommend the painkiller cocktails. (And they count as a serving of fruit). read more

Super fun and loud bar. We stopped in on a Thursday night and had drinks and food. They had bingo at 8:30 and didn't realize how fun that would be. The guy announcing the game was great and got the whole bar involved. They have a great beer and bourbon selection and play good music. Food is better than your average pub and prices are reasonable. We went back for happy hour and pinball the next day. They have parking, but it's a small lot. And when I say loud, the place is LOUD, so you have to want that vibe. It's not great for a sit and talk to your friends night. read more

Awesome vibes here at this local watering hole. This small town Pub has an abundance of entertainment from Bingo to darts & pinball machines to video games. The pub-style food is also very good and their late night hours make it an ideal spot to meet & greet. I stopped in on a Thursday night and it was Bingo night! They also have a great draft beer selection and custom cocktails served up by a super friendly staff that wants to know you by name. My kind of place when in the mood for a rather loud environment that balances a varsity of music with ongoing Bingo announcements. Having the late night munchies, I zoned in on their Pub Burger! Cooked to a juicy medium with a side wedge salad instead of fries. Delicious! Washing it all down with a frosty local Lager, made my night complete. My friend and co-worker, had a fresh grilled Ahi plate that he wolfed down with great pleasure. Definitely in my bookmarks now for Brew Pubs. A Five Star Fabulous night, where the laid back vibe of having fun and a delicious meal, frosty beer & friendly service, made all the Stars align making everything alright! Aloha & Mahalo Harbor Town! In the heart of the inner City that glimmers with Excellence. read more

This spot had been on our list for a while, and we're so glad we finally made it out to watch a Padres game! It's a great family-friendly dive bar with a laid-back, lively vibe. There were multiple TVs throughout the bar and lots of Padres fans cheering alongside us, which made it even more fun. The food was great, and the overall atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for. On top of that, they have a small arcade in the back, which was a hit with the kids... and with us! (Of course, we couldn't resist playing a few games--my personal favorite was the duck claw machine, and we even walked away with two new ducks for our collection!) The service was excellent too. You order food and drinks at the counter, get a number for your table, and they bring everything out to you. After that, you can order another round directly from a server if you want, just make sure to close out your tab either with the server or back at the counter before you leave. Bonus: They have a parking lot in the back, which is a huge plus since parking can be tricky in this area. If you're looking for a casual, fun spot to catch a game, grab some food, and enjoy a great atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Patty and I met some friends here a few weeks back. All in all, a pleasant experience. This pub offers a near--stellar selection of beer, and I like beer. I ordered a sandwich, I can't remember the name, but it was vegetarian. The components of the sandwich were top-notch but, sad to say, the bread was average. Good prices! Lots of video games for those who partake in such behavior. read more

I absolutely love this place! I used to live a few blocks away and would regularly walk here to either eat, drink or just socialize.

The service is always top-notch and they genuinely care that you're having a perfect meal. read more

We love coming here. Great ambiance and food. They have arcade games, lots of seating and our favorite thing to order are the buffalo cauliflower bites.

We've never had a bad experience here read more

Family and I wandered into this place based on a college student's recommendation back in 2016. Is that a smart thing to do, you might think. Well, turns out it was. Not only do they serve good food and drinks, but every single time we've been there since (most recent visit was Saturday, May 18, 2025), staff has been GREAT. I've not experienced a salty, ill mannered, grumpy pants working there yet. All have always had a smile and a greeting attitude. Most recently, Chris was especially welcoming with all. Through these few years, we've seen the pub's format change a bit, but who can blame them for keeping up with the current environment. When we first visited in 2016, there was a host(ess) that would greet and seat you and you'd have a server table side take your order. Then, COVID: no host(ess), masks, outdoor seating, no servers table side, QR menus, pick-up your own order, etc. Post COVID, still no hostess, seat yourself, and order at the window. They do however, have servers that will deliver your food and tend to you while you enjoy your meal and drinks. The menu has changed a bit over the years also but everything we've tried starting with the H-Town Chicken & Waffles, Steak & Eggs Scramble, appetizers, and burgers have been good. Not a complaint to be remembered. Could we nitpick? We all could. But we can do that at EVERY establishment we visit. Although, in recent years (for health reasons) I was encouraged to change my diet (I'm pescatarian now), I'm delighted to say HTP still fits my diet! The Greta! The Veggie Torta! The Farmer's Scramble! The Seared Ahi Tuna Salad! The Fillet-O-Awesome! The Ahi Club (no bacon)! And let's not forget the IPAs...Chasing Awesome and Chasing Citra! All Pho-King amazing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. But I haven't even told you about the BEST part. I can take my scrubby mutt along, sit in the place and the staff will happily bring you water, or chow for your furry buddies! Even better, they all love having your four legged companions visit them. This is most definitely a family-friendly, local pub that's grateful for, and respects their patrons. Something you rarely see at commercialized chain restaurants. I'm thankful to that college student who gave us this recommendation. Thanks for steering us towards this place. read more

Staying in SD and found this place after a quick Yelp search...of course. It was open to the street and had a good bit of volume coming from the inside, peeps starting off the holiday weekend right. Food service is all ordered from the end of the bar. It was quick and the dude working the counter had his system wired. It was fast and easy.drinks and appetizers came out quick. Buffalo cauliflower was lit. My kicking mule was great. We had the jalapeño bacon burger and SD cheesesteak. Both were delicious and well executed. Free shot on Friday night to thank the patrons. It was fireball or something but I thought it was a great touch. Well done Harbor Town Pub crew! You killed it! read more

My boss recently moved our office to Rosecrans St and I was really excited to know that we would be so close to Harbor Town Pub. The first time I had come here was on a date with my then boyfriend, now husband, so it holds a little special place to me! Now that it's closer to me, I've got to order lunch a couple times and I am hooked. I order online, wait 15 minutes and walk right over super easy. Plus the service is always so fast and friendly, I love it. So far I've only ordered the Crispy Red Hot Chicken Sandwich and it is so delicious, it's fried chicken, Franks Red Hot sauce, blue cheese and bacon. I crave this sandwich so frequently, but I have to control myself! The chicken is always so tender and flavorful and the blue cheese is perfect cheese to go with it and I forgot the best part it also has crispy onions, ugh so good. The sandwich does come with fries and they're always crispy but you are able to add to it, I've had it with garlic and it's perfectly stinky. My husband wants to come back where we can have dinner together so I'll have to try something different then. But please check them out, food is delicious and service is so friendly, definitely my new go to. read more
