The Church is a location for The Lost Abbey brewery which is based in San Diego. Of course as the…read morename implies this brewery location (Lost Abbey has more than one location) is inside a church building. And the design and themes on the inside continue with the idea that you are indeed inside a church which is pretty cool as it really adds to the "Abbey" experience. But onto the beer review and what we had here. We had the Moral Codes which is a Double/Imperial IPA. I sometimes don't always have the best enthusiasm for IPA's but this one is very good. It is lively, vibrant, memorable and bitter... as many good IPA'S are (and some so so ones too). Additional flavor features in this beer are citrus, juniper, a natural sweetness and a very strong presence. As I said I have had beers from this brewery before and was impressed before and that continues with our most recent experience. Very good beer and this location is fun to enjoy their libacial enhancements at!

I get there and they have plenty of seating available. I check out the bar and take a seat. The place itself is huge! Lots of great places to hang with friends and party. They had a padres game in and lots of specials when the Padres play. I had the Ballpark Paloma which has tequila , dragon fruit juice and grapefruit juice and soda. It was very refreshing and delicious. My only knock is I hate drinks served in plastic cups but this is normal for a lot of bars at the pools. The bartender Jason was extremely friendly and courteous and I was extremely happy with my drink. I will definitely be back soon with friends.

Came here the week of Comic Con on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. The Gas Lamp restaurants that…read morewere closer to the Convention Center were the busier restaurants. Was greeted immediately and was seated within 10 minutes which was great, but there was a little bit of wait to order our food. One thing I do when trying new restaurants is to check the menu out before hand and have my order ready to place once the waiter/waitress approaches the table. What we ordered Honey BBQ Wings: Crispy and right amount of sauce. Not drenched or soggy but the perfect amount and was delicious BBQ Bacon Smash Burger: Seasoned very well and the bacon was crispy. The burger was smaller than expected and the fries were really salty. Overall a great place to checkout and come with friends. Nice chill spot to enjoy a meal and has great music. There was a dj there as well that made the atmosphere fun.

What a fun spot! So glad we got to try this limited-time concept with its…read morespaceship-meets-futuristic-tropical-paradise vibes. The place was boppin, with lots of fun people dressed up and ready to embrace the whole experience. The backstory is that the Ancient Astronaut Shuttle Crew aboard the A.A.S.C. MOTHERSHIP gets stranded on an uncharted planet after a solar flare fries the ship's electronics. With limited resources to repair the ship but plenty of plant life and intoxicating spirits, the crew eventually accepts its fate and turns the place into a permanent vacation. Honestly, getting stranded in a mysterious tropical paradise with cocktails doesn't sound so bad to me. The drinks were yummy, although I was a little scared by the warning that you're limited to TWO alcoholic drinks! We also tried the zero-proof drinks: Mindchiller, Tracking Device, and X-Ray. All fun and fit the whole cosmic experience. We went a little wild and ordered almost everything on this plant-based menu: potato, sandwich, salad, pancake, rice, donut, bread, and soft serve. You can tell they put a ton of creativity into the concept and presentation. Maybe the menu naming department got left behind during the spaceship emergency? The food was fun, but nothing quite as out-of-this-world as the concept. Our favorites were the potato and the rice, which had that paella-style socarrat, the delicious crispy bottom. The donut was a bit greasy, and the salad was too wet for my liking. We also tried the Thai tea and black sesame miso soft serves. Neither had that super-creamy soft serve texture, but both were tasty. The server was super nice and friendly. Took us a long time to get seated but we can't blame anyone bc the party before us was just having too much fun and didn't wanna head out. A few tips for your mission: Make a reservation on opentable! It's a small space, so better for a small group than a huge crew. Leave time to find parking, or just uber since those drinks are effective! Check out the cool bathrooms too. Even those are part of the experience. Overall, come for the immersive spaceship vibes, creative drinks, fun crowd, and quirky atmosphere. The food is enjoyable, but the real star is the experience itself. A fun little intergalactic escape without actually leaving the planet!

We had such a great experience at this space themed bar! One thing that I would make a note of is…read morethat we did make a reservation for 10 pm on a Saturday night, but still had to wait in a very long line out the door for a good 15 minutes. We were confused, along with many other folks in line. I think they were just preparing their tables way longer than expected. Other than that inconvenience, the bar itself was beautifully decorated and very on-theme. The drinks were very much giving "tiki bar but in space" and were veryyyy strong. They have an alcohol strength spectrum on their menu so you can guide yourself through the drinks. We got drinks that weren't even on the strong side of the scale and they were still pretty strong. This would be a great place for a pregame for sure! They even have some food and seasonal soft serve other than their normal drinks. Overall, great service, strong drinks, and fun vibes. Perfect place for a pregame!

The girl that was bartending was nice enough until we ordered and she misheard my friend. When we told her it was supposed to be 2 of one beer and 1 of another, not the opposite, she said well I already poured it so it's yours now. Wow, okay. We ended up paying for 4 beers and only drank the 3. I mean she's great for the owners pocket I guess but she is horrendous with customer service. Mind you this was a Tuesday so it's not like it's jam packed with people and loud. We each drank 1 beer and played a game of pool and then took off. I wouldn't have minded hanging out longer if it wasn't for her. I don't want to waste money on someone with a bad attitude.

Our group sat in a booth next to the bar on the first floor. Unfortunately, didn't get to explore this 'Gothic looking library' but the booth was comfortable and the food satisfied.

She was by herself upstairs the afternoon of the My Chemical Romance concert. Their entire vibe matches the same energy as concert goers...and the MCR merch tent was set up at noon with a line so long that people were definitely going to be drawn to a local spot that was playing the same genre music. Unfortunately for the lone waitress it was a sit anywhere you want situation and she had no idea anyone was sitting in her area...until she decided to "do her rounds" as she told us. Then she told us she forgot her tablet and grabbed her phone. So even though we were already sitting waiting for anyone to come out for 30 minutes she could only remember drink orders and had to come back to take food orders. This continues this way the entire time...and we were not alone, more people were seated and at some point there was a hostess that was seating people and it was piling up with a server that could not multi-task. She was so friendly but it was just not going to cut it in that moment. I could continue with more examples but hopefully you can sense the frustration and understand what this was like. I hope they can staff better in moments like this for the future, especially with Petco hosting so many concerts that fit their vibe! Oh and the potato skins were amazing! ....thats what gave it 3 stars! The location and vibes gave it the first 2.

They have large Jenga, shuffle board, connect four, and a bunch of other card and board games. The drink menu is pretty good too! I feel like we tried nearly the whole menu and I was a fan of everything I tried. Love the location too. We did also go to Coin-op just a few yards away but still ended up coming back to end the night back at Bar Moxy.

The bar/lobby was fanciful, the beer was cold, and our bartender David was great. He was informative, friendly, and attentive-5/5 for David's customer service. They have a great little happy hour M-F 4pm-6pm that includes $5 craft beers from the likes of Bay City and Ballast Point, $6 wines, and $8 wells and coctails. They also have some interesting looking $8 flatbreads if you're feeling munchy. Why not 5 stars you ask. Well, unfortunately Moxy adds an automatic 18% gratuity on everything. While I'd tip $1 on a $5 beer, 20%, it just feels grimey to automatically "sneak in" 18% to every tab. While I agree that the staff deserves it, and probably more, automatic payments should come from their employer, not their customers. Respetfully. Thanks to David and The Moxy!

From the spooky, dark, skulls old school ambiance and decor, to the experience of not ordering from a menu, everything about it made it feel unique and curated making it feel like a true individualized experience. As mentioned, there are no menus. We sat at the bar, the bartender makes casual conversation with you regarding the types of drinks you enjoy. He curated something for both my husband and I based on what we shared we enjoyed. The drinks were delicious. The entry was very cool! It felt as if you were entering a hidden spot - which you do. When you enter the restaurant, you let the hostess know you're there for the Noble Experience. She let us know to head to the wall with the kegs (which is actually a door). You enter and there's a small waiting area where you're greeted by another hostess. This place is a 20/10. We can't wait to return on our next visit to SD.
