    Great little pub with a very local feel. We walked in and noticed it felt really cozy and definitely local appreciated. We were told we could sit anywhere and were helped relatively quickly as it was a busy day. They have an amazing happy hour (check the menu) and some great prices for beer and food during that time. We went with the Poutine ($5.50 HH price/$11.00 non HH), which was great. Gravy was flavorful, and the cheddar curds were great. Really good french fries too. Next, we got the small Shepherd's Pie ($13.50). Solid dish made of beef chuck, ground beef, onion, carrots, peas, mashed potatoes, soda bread biscuit. The two dishes together were plenty for two of us to share. There are quite a few beers to choose from as well. I was surprised with the rotating tap list as they had something for everyone. Of course there is Guinness, and other mainstays too! For a good place with friends, family, to share good food and beer, this is the place!

    What a great place Stopped in after Wednesday night church. Wings were 1/2 off. Company was friendly. Spoke to Ryan for a good hour. Reminds me of my time in Ireland. I got bbq wings that were crisp and extra saucy. Ordered the patty melt to go. Was packaged well and portion was large They have lots of events and specials. It's a real neighborhood place Stop in to watch the Rugby games.

    I've recommended this restaurant before, but it's such a hidden gem that I had to share again! My father-in-law, with his Scottish roots, loved the Irish-inspired dishes here when he visited San Diego. We started with the pretzel bread--fresh, chewy, and aromatic--and a large beet salad with goat cheese and poppy seed dressing, perfect for sharing. For mains, the corned beef plate and beef stew were hits, especially with the soda bread. The shepherd's pie was delicious but super hot! I had the liver & onions, which was tender and rich, paired perfectly with mashed potatoes. The service was excellent, and we even enjoyed live music on Thursday night. If you're into trying new flavors, I highly recommend giving this place a shot!

    Small Shepherd's Pie with Irish soda bread. A bargain at $13 and not salty.

    Never been to Ireland, but the warm, friendly, relaxing atmosphere and menu of familiar favorites made this place seem very authentic to me. Enjoyed my small Shepherd's Pie ($13). Live acoustic music on the patio on weekends. Definitely returning. Perhaps for Monday special Fish & Chips 20% off or Wing Wednesday 20% off.

    Cute little pub off Morena Blvd. Nice indoor seating including bar as well as outdoor seating and fire pit. Menu has nice variety of traditional Irish dishes as well as more "Americanized" ones (ie burgers, fried chicken). Live Irish music sometimes which is fun. Parking is sparse - although quite a bit of street parking available. And check website to make sure they are open...have arrived a couple times to closed for special event. I ordered the pastrami sandwich - great house made pastrami and very large serving. Fries (chips) were crispy and delicious. Others in my group ordered the fish & chips & said it was incredible. Super friendly staff and very reasonable prices.

    Not my poutine.  This is someone's corned beef sandwich, but I think it cost $20.

    I came here with a Meetp up group that likes to attend HHs, so I try many HH's and Early Bird restaurants through this MeetUp. Usually about 12 people show up. The HH menu was mostly different variations on large cut steak fries. I chose the Canadian Poutine with gravy and fried cheese curds. HH prices are 50% off, appetizers, but the 50% was not on the corned beef topping that I asked for, only the menu item. The 50% off was $8 plus another $4 for corned beef topping. The corned beef was shredded. I took that home to make a ruben sandwich out of the meat. I asked for the fries to be extra crispy, and they came out that way, but not too long after, they become soft and wimpy. After all some of the fries has gravy on them. I don't like this Poutine enough come back and order the same thing, again, though. I took most of it home and toasted the fries in my toaster oven as a side in two more meals. Our server was awesome, very friendly and attentive. I think she is wasted as a restaurant server. She could make so much more money at another job, with her personality. She is an older woman with blond hair. Eating out cost so much now, that I appreciate HH food for half price and I can get enough to eat.

    Initially when I saw Dan Diego's was being renamed, I was worried there was a change in management/ownership. I'm happy to report that is not the case at all, just some smart rebranding to have a more accurate name to the type of food and atmosphere to expect. Fortunately, the late great Dan is still honored with his jersey in a case, so the history is still there and he is still remembered. Menu is fabulous as always, I am partially keen for their haggis plate, fish and chips, and shepherd's pie. I was recently here for my birthday and everyone loved what they ordered and Patty's bread pudding is to die for (and still my personal favorite in San Diego)! They are doing more fun events at The Pub too, including things like "Paint and Sip" on the patio. It was such a popular evening event they added a brunch one too! Speaking of brunch, my old favorite is back on the menu: the corned beef hash, so I will be going back soon for brunch to have that again in my life. The Pub remains one of my favorite spots in Bay Park and I'm so happy to see it thriving without losing its family business charm.

    We went to for Father's Day brunch and it was delicious with generous portions. The waiter couldn't have been more accommodating. I ordered the traditional breakfast which was enough for two. We began the meal with the Soda Bread Beignets. Epic and worth returning just on that dish. We enjoyed it all from the black pudding to coffee. The Irish bacon was the only downside ''twas dry" The outdoor seating was very comfortable. The Happy had a very good tasting sausage gravy without being overly peppery. Thanks for making the start of the day so wonderful.

    Rare beer from Traquair House, Scotland. Matching glassware for bonus points!

The largest grossest bugger hanging out of his nose, he had sweat marks so large there was no need to lift his arms to see them. He proceeded then to do shots at the bar with costumers. Which again... I totally can appreciate having a good time in a good neighborhood pub. The floors were so dirty around the booths. The menus dirty. Just over all couldn't stay and eat here. Did get some good laughs watching a few very inebriated customers, had some good drinks and went on our way. We personally wouldn't come back, but again if you live in the neighborhood and it's just that place you come to for your hang with friends, it's looks like it's a fun place.

I ordered: * Steak & Shrimp: this came over mashed potatoes with a side of spinach. The steak was huge, cooked perfectly, and seasoned really well. Everything on the plate was delicious. We hung out by the fireplace, had some drinks, and just enjoyed the vibe. They also run great weekly specials. I believe Tuesdays are buy one burger, get one free, and Thursdays they have $7 smashburgers that looked massive when I walked by. Overall, this place has a really fun, welcoming energy.

They offer tasty food from a window towards the back. I believe the gentleman taking the orders was also the owner of the kitchen. He was so patient and kind making suggestions and helping me make my final decision from the variety of tempting dishes from their menu. I opted for the bacon cheeseburger and chicken wings, sharing with a friend. The chicken wings were perfectly fried and crispy not soggy like some places. The buffalo sauce and ranch dressing were yummy. The burger was cooked well and so delicious! The owner was gracious enough to sub out the onion for sautéed onions and it was the perfect addition. Latitude is kind of a hybrid of indoor and outdoor allowing for good people watching and enjoying the breeze from the nearby ocean. They have ciders in a can which is much appreciated for this girl who can't really drink beer.

Most recently, the bartender deliberately gave me a poor pour and told us to move away from a large table while we were simply looking at the food menu--even though the bar wasn't crowded.

We were also spoken to in a condescending way, being told this is a "shared experience," followed by a suggested tip range of 20-30%, which felt inappropriate given the service. Overall, the service has been disappointing, and the cheesesteaks were equally underwhelming. I would not recommend this place at all.

That said, the food and customer service could use some improvement. I understand how extremely busy weekends can be, so I went back during the week to see if my opinion would change but unfortunately, the food still took a very long time to arrive.
