Overall, I would say it was a great experience for the kids and definitely worth a visit if you've never been to a virtual golf center. The staff was very nice and was able to explain everything for us and I would say my kids had a lot of fun because there was a variety of games that you could do with a soccer ball baseball and a football. The place overall was clean and well kept an interesting, so there was enough virtual screen bays that you could play and it seemed like it was not too busy at this location. I did try using my Groupon at the Clairemont location, but they were packed. We have a fun time. It wasn't too hard to get the hang of this but overall I would say you should use the Groupon and it makes that one hour worth it.

We went there for 60 minute experience. Kids enjoyed a new experience of playing different sports and adults got to enjoy some appetizers and drinks. Food was decent. Kids especially loved the pretzel and service was friendly. It was $60 just for the experience and another $60 for food, drinks, and tip.

Everything Jumbo Pretzel with Warm Queso

First time at this location. Facility appeared new with nice ambiance. We had a group event and took up all three simulators. They had a private room too with two simulators but it was booked. Service was excellent and very accommodating and special thanks to Judy who was our main server who was always enthusiastic in assisting us. Food was typical bar food but had healthy options too. We ordered 10 different items (including three different pizzas) and my favorites that I tried were the #CrunchyGarlicWings #TaterTots #EverythingJumboPretzel the #ChickenBaconSliders looked amazing but I was too full to try. Only thing I didn't like was the #Nachos, The chips and sauce didn't go well together. We were able to bring a cake which they kept refrigerated for us until we were ready and also the wines ($15 corkage fee). They also had an assortment of wine and beers. Great place to sit at the bar too and watch a game, Great place for a group event

Mushroom pizza

Awesome spot! Came here with my office for a fun night of golfing and drinks and it did not disappoint! Pizza was yummy, super nice bartenders, fun games! Would definitely recommend for a fun night that's a little different than your average dive bar.

Sat early eve, 2 of the 5 simulators in use. Quiet shopping center, easy parking and clean. Friendly helpful staff, very attentive. Cool vibe if u like to golf, because u don't lose your balls you can finish game quicker than if on a real course. After about an hour all simulators were in use. Boys had fun, even newbies. You can play other games as well. Great deal if you buy on Clipp or Groupon, 50% off. Food is ok, we bought a pizza and wings, fine to snack on while playing, but we ended up going elsewhere for dinner. Would recommend if you want to practice and hang out with your friends.

Tater tots & Chicken bacon ranch sliders
Sena Y.

Incredible food & drinks at a good price with great hospitality from Chris! With the golf simulators, there is fun for everyone and overall great atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon!

Go see Clint at The Golf Bar. I went in to purchase some gifts certificates for Christmas and received outstanding customer service by Clint. He explained the details, had suggestions and made me want to come. They have food and a bar. Fabulous concept and looking forward to my family opening the gifts. Naomi was very friendly and helpful too!

Cool place for an event. We had 30 people and reserved the back room. It has 2 screens to play. One was the golf and the other had various sports options. The teens had a good time. Plenty of seats. Service was good but food was mediocre. We ordered pizza, buffalo cauliflower and tater tots. Wasn't anything special. This is a cashless bar so make sure you bring only credit cards!

Listen. I have NEVER left a review on any bar I have been to…read more But I honestly felt so compelled to do it tonight. IR has the NICEST freaking people there just hanging out. I have heard that IR is always a good time but I have heard that before about a bunch of spots. What I never hear is that a dive bar is full of just cool, nice, & generous regulars. Lots of smiles. Lots of joking & banter & it seemed the regulars knew one another kind of well. We had fun tonight. John says to come on a Sunday for football. I don't watch football at all, but maybe I will come anyways. All the bartenders are cool af. There is a lady bartender there, & she is incredibly sweet. There is another bartender (other dude with a hat) who served us so well tonight. I made special requests & instead of him being annoyed, he was just happy to do it. I don't even know what we ordered, but he made something fruity & we loved it. Be patient. They seem to always be busy. Our drinks were worth the wait. Will we return...... But only for the regulars, the drinks & the bartenders. I owe Rich a drink. I won't forget. PS Idk how this place has 3.7 stars. They deserve a solid 4, at the very least.

Hello again, Karl! We have been long time loyal Karl fans, and this place used to be our favorite…read morebrewery. They had the best servers who would stop by at the tables, give samples of their beers and chat a while about the beers and other things. Then, things got changed, and the vibe of the place became too corporate, the service became minimum, and we stopped going. Long story short, we went back last Friday night the first time in a long time. The vibe was back just like the old time with friendly severs and flowing beer samples. It was good to be back. They have a good selection of burgers. We had turkey burger and Ahi Tuna Sando. Ahi Tuna Sando was a gourmet burger with a good combination of flavors. Bitchin sauce was mild, not spicy, which I liked since everything these days became too spicy. The food was delicious. We were excited to see O.G. Amber Lagar on the beer menu as it seemed like an honest effort to re-visit Karl's lagar roots by re-making its original amber lager or Columbia Street Lagar which sadly was discontinued. Lagar is back these days, and Karl should bring Amber Lagar back as a regular beer. (Please!) More nuttiness, less hoppiness, and less carbonation.

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.

One of our friends came here before, had Gavin as her server and SWORE the best pizza ever was a mushroom and roasted garlic pizza. We quickly got in but I don't recall if my friend made reservations. I'd suggest making them just in case because this place was booked and busy, justifiably. FOOD: We shared 2 salads and 3 pizzas. It was a perfect amount of food for us. We also got a charcuterie board that we devoured before I could snag photos DRINKS: Both co their mocktail options (passion fruit and cucumber) were amazing. A few in our group got beers as well as a gin & juice which they loved. We didn't feel rushed and Gavin, our server was incredibly attentive. I had asked for the bacon/meat on the side for the pizza and when we asked to get the best salad, he already knew to put the bacon bits on the side for the salad too. He even snagged us more roasted garlic when our group needed a clove for each bite. He was so great! We'll be back for mor! Ask for Gavin, he's one of the best!

I can proudly say I have tried quite a few things on the menu already and have not been disappointed. I'd say at this point my brother and I have been here over 5 times. We even brought our parents here twice already. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. My brother and I have done breakfast, lunch and dinner at this point. The first item I tried was the Sun-Dried Tomato Rigatoni. This was so creamy and delicious (later found out you cam add another meat). Which my mom tried her first time around with Salmon. She said it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. From that first pasta, I tried the March Month Special, I got the chopped cheese with no cheese (lactose intolerant) but man did I devour it so fast!! There tater tots never miss btw ALWAYS crispy. The Grilled Chicken Sando, mannn was thay superr good too. Chicken was juicy and always love me some avocado. I told my brother I am going to make it a priority to try everything I cam here. Also, the presentation on the plates ESPECIALLY the Fresno 1/2 Chicken *chefs kiss* The service is NEVER misses. Soo attentive no matter the time of day. Tony's drinks are UH-MAY-ZING. We had Mckellen as our server and he was great. The biggest shoutout to James (the owner) seems like he knows how to create a phenomenal work environment and keeps his people happy. We've seen him walk around often and checking in. You can definitely see thay he cares. I HIGHLY recommend coming here if you have the chance. Also, try the Espresso Martini my brother who is far from a coffee drinker even loves it!!

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Visited Phil's for a work lunch with colleagues after having ordered their catering trays for meetings many times before. This was my first dine-in experience at this location. Had the beef ribs tickler with sausage, coleslaw, and fries. The ribs were straight-up bomb! they were super meaty, tender, flavorful, and nicely charred. The sauce has a nice sweet, tangy, and spicy balance. The link was a good portion with a good smoky flavor, and the coleslaw and fries rounded out the meal nicely. Service was efficient despite a busy lunch rush and the staff were really nice and welcoming. The catering trays we've ordered have always been solid, and that same consistency carries over to the dine-in experience. It's a little pricier than your average lunch spot, but the food actually tastes good and consistent every time, which is why Phil's gets 5 stars.

Went to Phil's BBQ with some friends and my daughter and left seriously disappointed…read more We ordered a full rack of ribs with mac salad, fries, and a fully loaded baked potato, a Caesar salad, a kids cheeseburger, a tri-tip sandwich, and two sausage sandwiches. Honestly, everything lacked flavor, seasoning, and any sense of care. The sausage sandwiches came with pepper jack cheese that wasn't even melted, just thrown on top. The kids cheeseburger had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. At that point, I could've gone to Burger King and gotten something more satisfying. The ribs and tri-tip were both mediocre at best. Nothing stood out, nothing was memorable. We all agreed we'd rather just make this kind of food at home moving forward. For a place known for BBQ, this was a huge letdown. Definitely not worth the price, and we will not be returning. I'd honestly expect a refund after an experience like this. Also, went as soon as it opened so you cant even say they were really busy.
