    Awesome music, chill place with awesome chill People, drinks were very cheap, best place in poway to watch sports

    Is it just me or are pubs such a fun switch up for a restaurant to eat at? My friend and I came in after we had gone for a long hike so we were ready to chow down. You order your food at the bar and then they bring it to your table. We both got the shepherds pie and it was different than any other shepherds pie I've ever had. I would say the meat part was more liquidy and the ratio of meat to potatoes definitely skewed heavy on the meat side , which is never a bad thing. It was a very hearty and comforting meal to eat. This is such a fun spot they even had karaoke that was just starting and some really awesome decorations.

    We always see off of Poway road, we had a few hours and wanted to try a new place so we stopped by. We walked on around 3:30 Saturday and the place was pretty packed. Everyone was really nice and welcoming, truly like your friendly neighborhood bar. Music was playing and everyone was smiling, chatting, and laughing. We got fries which came in a decent sized basket and had two sides of probably some of the best ranch I've ever had. They have a decent sized menu with some tasty looking bar bites. My husband got a Coors Light (draft) and I got a double Jameson and club soda. Wow, what a drink! I was asked short or tall and of course I chose short and it packed a punch. The bartender was always smiling and was tending to not only us sitting at the bar but to those sitting indoors and outside and she was very attentive to everyone. Super friendly and makes the best drinks. An awesome local place!

The quality of the food is consistently solid, and their breakfast meats stand out compared to other diners. We've also had great experiences with their wings, burgers, salads, sandwiches, and limited-time dinner specials. The desserts never disappoint either. Drinks at the bar are always well-made--I usually go for lemon drops or margaritas, and the balance is spot on. We also love that they have access to pretty much any sports channel, plus weekly entertainment like trivia, karaoke, and bingo. It's a great spot to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy a good meal. Shout out to the amazing servers as well!

    Visited Cork and Craft with my mama tribe the Saturday before Mother's Day around 7pm and were…read morehonestly surprised we were able to snag reservations so easily last minute. The staff was very warm and welcoming, though throughout the evening it definitely felt like they may have been short staffed and stretched a bit thin. Since we were headed to a movie after dinner, we decided to keep things light and share appetizers plus dessert. We tried the Fried Shishito Peppers, Veggie Potstickers, Grilled Broccolini, Rosemary Garlic Fries, Whipped Burrata, Garlic Noodles, Salmon Poke Tacos, and Lamb Chops. Overall, the food was decent but nothing especially memorable. The lamb chops were cooked nicely but could have used more seasoning, and the poke tacos were tasty but tiny -- literally about the size of my pinky for each taco. We were disappointed they had sold out of both the Crème Brûlée Bread Pudding and the Budino, which were the desserts we originally wanted to try. Thankfully, the Butter Toffee Cake completely saved dessert for us -- absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a cute spot with good vibes for a girls night, but the food itself didn't quite live up to the hype for us.

Our server recommended a special habanero roll, and my friend ordered the Hawaii rolls--both were excellent. Another friend ordered a burger and really enjoyed it as well, so the kitchen is definitely doing something right. Where things fell short was the service. Our server started off great--friendly and with a good vibe--but as the evening went on, things slowed down noticeably. The host was not very attentive; we had to ask multiple times for items, and drinks were delayed until our server eventually followed up. It felt like no one else was stepping in to help. There were also a few mix-ups. We ordered crème brûlée and cheesecake, but were mistakenly given bread pudding that belonged to another table. It took about 20 minutes for the server to return and let us know about the error. While it wasn't added to our bill, there wasn't much effort made to make up for the inconvenience. I also ordered another glass of wine that never arrived--though, to be fair, I wasn't charged for it. Toward the end of the night, service became even more inconsistent. We were ready to pay, but the server disappeared for a while, and when he finally took our card, he seemed distracted and took extra time chatting with another table. Overall, it's a nice spot--especially for a summer dinner--and the food is definitely worth trying. However, the service needs improvement before I'd consider coming back.
