    My first visit was wonderful. I loved the decor (Xmas decorations were a plus), vibes and their happy hour deals! The bartender Jessica was very friendly and I loved her White Russian. There's enough space for group gatherings. A bonus when they have either Dj or Karaoke nights. I'd go back when I'm in the area again.

    We love this place! Great drinks, great atmosphere and of course, great bartenders! Oh yes and can't forget the yummy popcorn! Always have a great time when we come here. Some nights they have a DJ and others they have karaoke. So fun! We absolutely love Angel!!!! She is so friendly and such a sweet soul! Bonus-Angel makes an AH-mazing dirty martini....she shakes it to the point to where the container sticks to her hand! Thank you Hearth House and the lovely Angel! Can wait to go see you all again!

    I'll probably remove this rant eventually, just thought ownership should know . I haven't been here in years. The remodeling looks great, but I miss the old bartenders. After a quick look around, I took a seat at the bar. The bartender had her back to me; I could see her texting, then switching to Instagram. A woman in a Christmas sweater greeted me before the bartender did and had to remind her--twice--that I was there before she finally put her phone down and acknowledged me. Bartender: Hello, thanks for waiting. How are you? Me: Thirsty. Bartender: What can I get you? Me: Bourbon and water, please. Bartender: What kind of bourbon? Me: The well is fine, thanks. Bartender: Jack is-- inaudible Bartender: Do you want a double? It's only $3.50 more. Me: No thanks. Bartender: You know, be nice. The bartender walks away to make the drink and immediately complains about me to her friends sitting directly across the bar. One of them rolls his eyes at me. Me: Hey, I was nice enough to wait while you were on your phone. Bartender: No, you weren't. I slide my drink back to her. Me: You can just give my drink to your friends across the bar. Bartender: I will. I walk out. The eye-roller stares at me as I leave. Acknowledge guests, stay professional, and don't complain about customers to friends sitting right in front of them. Promote the girl in the Christmas sweater. And if Eye Ball wants to talk about it sometime, we can meet elsewhere for a drink. My treat.

    Ok, this was the best place I ever experienced. Such a cool karaoke spot. Staff is super sweet, super welcoming, and attentive. Even the people who were there was so nice. Went out for a little birthday outing and it was so worth it. I haven't had fun at a bar in so long!

    Angel is truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment you walk into Hearth House, her warmth and vibrant spirit are infectious. She's incredibly personable, making everyone feel like a regular, even on their first visit. But what really sets Angel apart is the way she goes above and beyond her role behind the bar. She doesn't just serve drinks--she serves the community. Angel recently donated over 400 Easter eggs to our Run Club, helping bring joy and fun to a local event that meant a lot to our members and their families. That kind of generosity and community spirit is rare and deeply appreciated. Hearth House is lucky to have her, and honestly, so is San Diego. If you're ever there, do yourself a favor and say hi to Angel--you'll leave with a great drink, a smile, and probably a new friend

    Mango cart at the bar
    Michael B.

    Came here on a Saturday night at 10pm. The crowd was already starting to get lit with karaoke. It didn't feel like a bar where it was a bunch of locals which was a relief because being in those crowds can be hard to navigate. But there were definitely a few people that the bartender knew that got served over me and my homie as we were sitting by the bar with my dog. But after they fell over and were escorted out by security, the bartenders did pay attention to us more. It looks like they just split the bar into two sides with one side being served by one and the other served by the other. They said my dog was okay but he barked once because he was excited with all the clapping from the karaoke and the bartender threatened to kick us out because patrons were afraid. Even though everyone was coming over to pet my dog. Didn't eat any food here. Just alcohol. The beer selection was okay. Nothing special. Your bud lights. Mango carts. 805s. Etc. The mixed drinks were strong. There is a back patio and two pool tables.

The pulled pork was delicious and the smoked meatloaf had just the right amount of smoke. For sides, I got the bacon, potato salad and the Street corn. I've had both of these sides before and they hit just right each time. I also ordered the bourbon pecan pie to go. This is the first time having the bourbon pecan pie. I did find some shelves in it, which were a little unpleasant, but at least I know that it's real pecans. It does have a strong bourbon flavor so it may not be the best for kids. To drink, I got the guava lemonade. I arrived with my pup and we sat outside. Everybody was super dog friendly. They brought a nice bowl of water for my guy. I ended up taking 2/3 of my meal home because the portions are big enough for two.

Definitely try their homemade "thousand Big Mac Chic Filet" sauce on the side, it's way better than the original. They also have spicy and reg BBQ sauce on the table, and the burgers are legit. Our server Maki (pronounced like the fish) was amazing, but honestly, the whole staff is top tier. She checked on us at least 5 times, kept the beer coming, and stayed on top of soda refills. Could not ask for better service. Between the World Cup specials and using the cohen DRg app, I did the math and you save about 7% for every $100 you spend. Great value and great vibs. If you want a solo test drive, definitely check out their Thursday all day burger, fry, and beer combo special also fire.

The staff is super attentive and nice, and really seem to enjoy working there, which makes the ambience very comfortable and pleasant. I had a really tasty patty melt with a side of fries, and it was a big enough serving that I had to take half of it home.

    We arrived at the venue at around 5:10 PM on July 6th to watch the World Cup match. We went to the…read morepatio but couldn't get a table because an inconsiderate guy was using one merely to hold his drink while blocking in the way; he was chatting with a couple at another table and blocking a third table located right in front of the TV to prevent anyone else from sitting in front of him. So, we sat at the round table with the central fire pit, but a few minutes later the waitress asked us to move to a smaller table because they needed to keep that one available in case a large group arrived for a meal. We completely understood and moved. Later, a man arrived with his dog and tried to sit at the table we had originally attempted to use, but the inconsiderate guy wouldn't let him, so he sat at the large table with the fire pit. A waitress came over, treated him and the dog very well, and then brought a piece of meat, feeding it directly into the dog's mouth with her bare hands. Another waiter saw the situation and did nothing; another waitress also saw it and did nothing (keep in mind that, during this time, the two tables the inconsiderate guy was blocking, as well as other tables on the opposite side, were available for the staff to ask the man to seat with the dog). A group of three young women also arrived and seemed to want to sit at one of the tables the inconsiderate guy was blocking. The dog was also sitting on the chair and drinking water from the tabletop, not the floor, in violation of the rules posted on the wall. We watched this absurd situation unfold, and NO, at no point did anyone ask him to leave that table or put the dog and its water on the ground. Everything was so wrong and no one was doing anything about it, yet they treated the guy and the dog much better than us. We had the distinct impression that the dog was receiving better care and attention from the staff than we were. I didn't want to have to write this. I rarely post reviews, but this situation is important because the staff's lack of effort to make us feel better after we expressed our disappointment is simply unbelievable. They really didn't care at all. They just apologized but did nothing to show they cared. In fact, their attitude implied that we were wrong for complaining. We felt genuinely offended at being treated with less dignity than a dog. This is unacceptable, not to mention the serious hygiene issue. If the staff saw that dog and didn't care, what level of hygiene should we expect from the kitchen, where customers aren't looking? We have nothing against pets, but we understand where they belong. If the owner wants to treat the animal like a human being at home that's their business; however, in a public place, one must respect others, and it is the staff's duty to intervene if the rules are broken. What is the point of having rules if they are ignored? If you cannot manage it, do not accept dogs. But if you want to keep accepting dogs no matter what, you just lost both of us as customers, plus people around us that we will make sure they know how you treat dogs x people. In the end, we didn't know who annoyed us more: the inconsiderate individual, the man with the dog, or the venue's staff. All in all, we feel deeply saddened by a world where pets are treated better than human beings and people are losing empathy for their fellow humans. We didn't go only to watch the game. The had meals and drinks, but unfortunately we couldn't enjoy either the meal or the game. The others had good time though (including the dog).
