This summer they have been hosting the sour spot tournaments at this venue and this place has an attentive beer tapper who has extensive knowledge on the craft beers that are brewed and made here locally in San Diego. They also have other locations. I believe one in Ocean Beach as well, but this place right here is kind of hidden deep in warehouse territory, but nonetheless, after having tried the stout and the barley wine, it is so worth having during a hot summer session with my pals and trying to get further into the bracket for Super mash Bros Melee!

The upstairs was closed, but the downstairs was packed with people both inside and outside. The bartender was great. The beer selection was solid, and I really enjoyed their hazy IPAs. We also tried their bbq pizza, and it was a standout. The crust was super crispy, and the flavor overall was really good. Overall, this is a lively spot that's perfect for watching a game. Tons of TVs throughout, great beer, and excellent pizza. It's got a fun, social vibe and is an easy place to hang out with friends for a game or a casual night out.

Limited snack options but they had individual Chex Mix bags at the time so no real issue there. I've had their beer for years and had no idea it was nearby.

Just a note that whereas this bar apparently used to be dog-friendly many years back (based on…read moremultiple pre-Covid reviews), their current policy is that only service animals are allowed inside. My experience here has always been a good one, with great beers on tap, very friendly servers, and just a fund place to hang out for foosball, pool, or darts (albeit I think they only have one of each of those, so on a crowded night there might be a line to get to your game of choice); if memory serves they also have a stack of boardgames people can use while there.

Extremely friendly and personable. Gave our dogs a dog treat and also offered to move the community dog bowl over to a woman with her dog who was on the other side of the sitting area.

For a divey location, this bar really delivers. They did a good job with the space for being…read morerelatively inexpensive yet being situated in a not-cheap suburban neighborhood. They call it " The Hole in the Wall" and I guess there's literally a hole in the wall aka a door, but the venue itself is more like an underground courtyard which makes me curious about what it was before. Right as you enter, you walk down a colorfully lit staircase onto the open air patio. There's usually a karaoke dj to your right and a good amount of people watching zones to choose. I haven't eaten anything here but there's usually an outdoor cook/snack compiler standing near the entrance to the bar. If you're from San Diego, you wouldn't list Point Loma on your itinerary for a queer night out yet The Hole in the Wall exists to surprise you and I love it. I've gone on empty nights and I've gone on packed nights. Both experiences are lovely. If you love a good string-lit outdoor patio and watching people have a fun night, this could be your place.

Unfortunately, my group & I had a poor experience at this establishment. We were a group of 8…read morefemales coming for a fun night out. It was my first time here so I was looking forward to it. I was happy to hear they offered karaoke too so my friend & I put our name down for a duet (the iconic HSM, "Breaking Free"). Upon coming to the bar, there were a few other groups but it wasn't crowded yet. It was about 30 minutes later, and several more people had come to the bar now. My friend went up to ask the guy (leading the karaoke) a question. At this point he tells her: "well, I already played your chosen song an hour ago...and it's the same crowd, so...". There wasn't a conclusion if he was asking us to choose another song or if he was just giving his personal opinion. We also simply disagreed that it was the same crowd as an hour ago, and also I didn't realize there was a rule about playing the same song per hour? Given there wasn't a conclusion from the conversation, my friend & I decided to keep our chosen song since we were looking forward to singing it. 10 more minutes passed and we were next in line. My group came up to the stage to get ready for when we were called. But then, we were skipped! The audacity! Someone else from my group went up to address why we were skipped. He said "I just won't play that song!". Honestly I'm wondering if he just had a personal issue with that song lol. Like bro just play it for three minutes and make the customers happy? Since we were upset about his power trip, we took our buisness to Redwing. I am happy we made this move. I will say, the drink pitchers are worth the money & the bartender was nice. The cup pong was fun entertainment.

They also offer a great happy hour special Tuesday through Friday with $5 off pizzas. I don't remember the exact hours, so you'll want to check those before visiting. One of the things I love most about this place is the variety. There are three different brewery stations throughout the venue. I got a flight from the back room, where they serve mead, which is tough to find around San Diego. I ordered a flight, which came with six selections, and every single one was excellent. The staff here are fantastic. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and one of the chefs even came out to give the pups some pepperoni, which was a nice touch that definitely stood out. The space itself is huge with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place for groups to gather, relax, and enjoy a few drinks without feeling cramped. Overall, this is a fun and unique spot with great food, excellent drinks, and outstanding service. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

The main food available is from Pizza Cassette, which has delicious sandwiches and wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza pies. Drinks are available from a brewery, a trendy and unique wine spot, and a meadery! Truly something for everyone. It's dog friendly and great for groups to still feel intimate with standing areas, barrel table tops and picnic style tables. There's usually always something happening like trivia night or live music, but heads up, they don't stay open too late - won't be an issue for most, but in case you're looking for a spot at 8pm, double check the hours, especially for food.
