Brewski's was always this great, inexpensive dive bar with old arcade games to amuse and entertain…read morethe masses. A group of friends and I ventured in, one Saturday night in June for a few drinks and some good clean fun. We were all shocked to find the parking lot packed! We all kind of agreed that it had been at least four years since any of us had been to the venue. Brewski's got a makeover! More games. Refillable "token" cards. Loads of tables and chairs and a large patio. The bar was redone as well and took up the main long wall of the bar. It is now a cool arcade bar. The bartenders were quick and efficient. They made really good cocktails and even suggested a few. Loved the token cards. They were easy to fill and even worked on the jukebox so that's where all of my money went. I love jukeboxes!!! There were several large parties in the bar when we arrived but it was still easy to get around and find something to play. We had a great time and already made plans to go back for another group outing. Brewski's, you've outdone yourself!

Third time's a charm because we absolutely loved this place! Everyone here was so welcoming, and the beer and food were fantastic. We had an amazing time watching the games. The atmosphere was electric, especially during the first U.S. match. When the U.S. scored, the entire place erupted with chants of "USA! USA!" It was such an incredible feeling and made the experience unforgettable. The nacho portion was enormous! One of the ladies in our group loved it so much that she ordered it twice. The serving was so generous that it could easily feed three people. I tried the chicken sandwich during one visit and the fish and chips during the final game. Both were delicious and did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was tasty and made our World Cup experience even better.

It's a home away from home among friendly friends and strangers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit .. BUT let me highlight the wings in this place --- Wow!!!!! Perfect balance of crisp and sauce... talk about finger-licking GOOOD!!!!!! MAN OH MAN!!! This place is an all around great place to eat, drink, and watch your favorite game. It's a vibe that can't be duplicated, its authentic and real.

I'm a dive bar fan but this spot was not what I expected. First the bar itself is tiny with almost…read moreno seating - instead the place is a huge, heavily lit space filled with lots of tables like a full on restaurant. Next, you can't just order a drink at the bar, but instead there's a line stretching from the middle of the bar back towards the door where you need to queue up somehow and order drinks or food. Nope, not interested in doing that. In sum it's lit and laid out like a Chuck-E-Cheese where there are no dark, quiet nooks to enjoy or any space for at the bar interactions. Instead, there's lots of light and noise from all the competing on screen games and no chance of getting a quick drink unless you want to stand in a dubious line. Not my cuppa tea.

Tom Cat Bar & Grill - Cha Cha Wings- might be my new favorite, right up there with Tom Cat Signature. Not as spicy as Buffalo, but more complex.

RAISED BY WOLVES @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Raised by Wolves is located inside UTC La Jolla, tucked away in the very back of the mall near the Din Tai Fung area. I would definitely recommend parking around Corner Bakery or near 24 Hour Fitness for the closest way in. This was my very first time going to Raised by Wolves. I made a reservation on OpenTable, and if you are reading this right now, I highly recommend booking one. When we got there, the wait was two hours for people without a reservation. I booked for 9 PM on a Saturday night with my friends after dinner. We actually arrived at UTC earlier than expected, so we let the host know and they let us in about 20 minutes early. As for parking, they do not validate here. Parking is free for the first hour and then two dollars per hour after that, so just be aware that you may end up paying for parking when you visit this bar. It is set up like a speakeasy, which is really cool. You get to see where the actual bar is hidden. We ended up ordering a bunch of cocktails and the drinks were super great. I really loved the vibe overall. It was lively and chatty, and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very dark and classy. Keep in mind they do not serve food here. It is purely drinks only. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

LOVE THIS SPEAKEASY…read more Shoutout Taylor and Lexi for the incredible service. The ambiance and drinks are unmatched.

Best Pizza & Brew is a chain and I have one closer to me , if that's even possible lol as this one is pretty close too. This one is more cramped in space but the ambiance is pretty good here. At about 7pm, this place was packed with all sorts of people. Some with families, others with friends, some solo eaters and others are watching the baseball game and drinking beers. It felt quite cozy inside and out. On a Wednesday night, they have $4 pints but only on two select beers so make sure you know that. I ended up with the Harbor View Kolsch and then ordered a slice of the works. My order came to less than $10 but I also tipped. I have no idea how anyone can survive this current economy. Who started this stupid war where we can't afford anything??? Anyhow, I took my beer outside and found a nice seat. Took my number and waited for my slice. There is also another covered outside area and next time I may sit there. They also have outdoor heaters available as its starting to cool down over here. I like the outdoor space, definitely coming back. My slice came in a few minutes and the young man who brought me my slice was very polite and also brought over parmesan cheese and hot peppers for me. I ate my slice happily however I have noticed how much the slice has shrinked. Inflation and the war has made this happen. Now, I pay so much for a slice that doesn't even fill me up. Not the businesses fault really. In any case, I enjoyed my pint and pizza here. I'll be back to this location. Love the neighborhood feel to this place. And solid pizza and beer!
