We stopped in during one of the World Cup games and they have both an interior space and outdoor patio space in the back. We sat at the patio and it's a really nice area with TVs and some nice shaded seating. They didn't have any servers walking around and so you have to go up to the main bar to place your order. We were standing around for a bit before being helped even though there were no other people waiting to order. I ordered the Ground Chuck Norris burger which sounded really good. While it was a good amount of food, it fell short in terms of flavor and execution. The meat was slightly dry and I don't think I tasted any of the Louie dressing or bacon jam. Not sure if I would get it again. The Rabbit Hole is a cool hangout spot, but the food and service was definitely a miss.
This place gets packed on Wednesday trivia night, to the point of even requiring a reservation; the first time I tried coming as a walk-in I was denied, which was very surprising to me. We were able to get seated and have dinner with a reservation the second time around. I had the burger with fries, seems like it's a rotating menu every month. It was not bad, the beef was juicy and oily, and came with pickles and tomatoes, but I don't think it was anything special. The style and types of trivia questions were not my favorite either with a lot of focus on pop culture, but it was enjoyable to participate and learn some new things. The service was good, our waitress checked in pretty frequently despite how busy it was.
My first time to The Rabbit Hole and nothing like a little Summer House reunion to introduce you to a new spot! My friend and I met up to watch the final reunion episode that was being streamed at The Rabbit Hole. They leaned into the theme with Summer House themed cocktails and the "Amanda's Side Eye Spritz" was great. We shared some appetizers like the cheese curds, pretzel, and tacos. We wish the volume was a little louder but such a fun experience!
My friend, her family & I came to watch the NFL season opener. I'm glad we made a reservation because when we showed up, they weren't taking walk ins. We ordered lots of food to share- almost everything on the menu haha. They have a good happy hour menu where the food is $5-8 and drinks are $6-8. The happy hour food portions are small but tasty. The pesto ranch that comes with the cheese curds & fried pickles is really yummy. After happy hour was over, we still ordered more food and drinks. The poke nachos were good but the poke itself was kinda lacking seasoning. The meat flatbread and wings were my top 2 foods we ordered. For the wings, you can mix and match and the jalapeño butter were outstanding. Brownie sundae was devoured immediately. Drinks were good. Service was great. They also have trivia on wednesdays and lots of people were participating. You do have to stay the whole 2 hrs (7-9pm) if you wanna win a prize. Top 3 teams get a prize. We ended up winning 2nd place and won $20 to spend on a trivia night and a bottle of whiskey. The 1st & 3rd place I think got bourbon and rum but I can't remember. I wish the prize was a gift card and didn't have restrictions of being spent during trivia night. I'd definitely come back here tho.
We came to the Rabbit Hole to watch the Padres game and get some grub! We tried a few different things amongst the table, the wings were super good and so were the sandwiches. The corn dip I would pass on next time. Our waitress was super nice!
Nice local bar with great food and drinks! Went last weekend when I was hungover and needed a little hair of the dog, lol. Orion was the bartender and made me an amazing Bloody Maria -- perfect consistency, not too thick. His margarita was perfection too -- not too sweet, with tajin on the rim. Went back a couple days later and Hannah was an awesome bartender as well. Definitely try the elote dip -- so freaking good!
Came here with a friend just for a couple of drinks and was reminded why I've always liked this spot. Drinks are solid , nice without being overly "upscale," so it keeps that casual, fun vibe. The indoor/outdoor setup is perfect for a beautiful San Diego day, and the atmosphere just pulls you in. What really stood out this time was the music , totally catered to millennials with all the nostalgic jams that had us vibing the whole time. It felt fun, familiar, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'll keep in mind when I want good drinks, good vibes, and a little throwback soundtrack.
Arrived late on a rainy day after a street fair was packing up. The place is more bar oriented and it was busy. Even though we could see empty seating, we had to wait about 15 minutes for a seat without reservations. Loud and lots of sports fans for the TV show. We wanted the flat bread, but they were sold out. The beer was good, limited wine options, but some good cocktails. ended up sharing Poke Nachos and another appetizer. Staff were very busy and kept up, but often would yell as they passed by instead of coming to our table. It was ok, the food was better than expected and had more options. I could see how this may be overwhelming when they have live music or weekends. It is not upscale, it is casual and local feel. Indoor and street seating. Parking may be very crazy and limited. Best for drinks, food and Sports or live music.
Great place to watch football with their many TV's. Atmosphere is cool. Service is always great. The food is also very good. In particular their dry rub wings are the bomb. They are dog friendly for the front tables and they have an open air vibe with the large windows up front open.
We were hanging out in Normal Heights with a group of friends celebrating a birthday. The Rabbit Hole was our first gathering spot. Becky and I had heard good things about the place. It lived up to the hype. Upon walking in we were immediately impressed. The place is pretty damn huge. Booths lining the walls, four tops galore and a great front patio. The entire front of the building opens up with giant "garage door" roll-up doors. It was a beautiful San Diego Saturday, so we found a spot on the patio to accommodate all 10 of us. Service was bit slow at first, but there were just two women working the entire place and one was the bartender, so it was all up to Leya (not sure if I spelled her name correctly) to handle the rest. It was pretty busy too for 11:30 in the morning. After our initial wait and order, Leya was spot on. We were never left waiting. It was mostly just drinks for everyone, but Bex and I ordered wings for the group. We chose the Jalapeño Garlic Butter with sides of ranch and bleu cheese for dipping. WOW! Fantastic wings! Some of the best we've had anywhere. So flavorful with a great char on them and a nice heat from the Jalapeño. We loved that they were dry rubbed and not dripping with sauce. Jalapeño-y, garlicky goodness! We don't find ourselves in Normal Heights very often. I have a feeling that might change. See you at the Rabbit Hole! Dry-Rubbed Wings $14.00/6 wings$22.00/12 wings Our Semi-Famous Dry-Rubbed Wings. Choose from Jalapeño Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper or Garlic Parmesan.
Rabbit Hole hosted a middle school graduation party recently and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, with great variety and quality that kept everyone happy. The drinks are great and flow easily with the service from the back bar. The back patio is spacious and comfortable, perfect for a large group celebration with plenty of room to mingle. But honestly, the standout was the service. Everyone on staff was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure the event ran smoothly. Highly recommend Rabbit Hole for any big celebration!
First off, there is only street parking, so you may need to park down the street. Also, there are parking lots close by, but don't park there or you may get towed. The place has a good bar type vibe with high top seating throughout and some seating around a small fire pit outside. We were seated promptly and had our drink and food orders taken right away. We ordered various wings, the sweet corn elite and 5 cheese mac. The food came out pretty quickly and all of it tasted great. The lemon pepper dry rub wings are very lemony and peppery lol. The only issue we had, which wasn't really as issue, was we ordered the elote dip, which comes with tortilla chips, but what we got was a side of sweet corn elote, that doesn't come with chips. We asked about it and they were willing to give us chips and switch it out, but we elected to just stay with what we got. Make sure if you want one or the other, that you clarify because I can see how it gets confused. Other than the at, everything was great, the service, the food and the atmosphere. Even after we finished our group hung around to chat, and they were cool with that (the place wasn't full, so we weren't taking up tables). When I'm in the area again, I will definitely eat here. The servers were all so friendly and it's just an inviting place.

I recently visited The Rabbit Hole for a friends birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the food but it definitely looked delicious! They have a big selection of drinks, they're very pricey though! So keep that in mind. We went on a Friday so the had live music, and wow! The band was amazing!!! Make sure to bring earplugs if you're too sensitive to the loud noise because it gets pretty loud! The service was okay, as you may expect, they get pretty busy so they take a while sometimes. Overall a good place! I will definitely come back! read more

I stopped by on a Monday night around 7 PM for their free bingo event. The place has a great vibe with indoor seating, a front patio, a back patio, and a solid bar right in the center. Service was excellent! Our waitress checked in on us regularly. They have a good beer selection too. They also have a dog menu with a chicken or beef patty. I ordered the ahi poke tuna bowl based on our waitress's recommendation, but unfortunately, it was pretty bad. It was drenched in sauce, which made it taste heavy and low-quality. I could barely eat it. That said, this is still a fun spot overall. Street parking can be hit or miss, but it's usually just a short walk. Worth stopping in for a drink and the atmosphere. read more

Came for some food,drinks, and watch the basketball game with some friends. The Calamari and cheese curds seemed like small portions for their price. We joked at the table that they were European portions. The pretzel lived up to it's name. The food itself was ok, that's about it. As far as drinks everyone got beers and they were solid. Service was slow, but to be fair they were pretty slammed. Parking can be a bit of a pain for the area, but not impossible. I would only suggest this place for happy hour and that's about it. read more

Decent spot with lots of seating and a front patio for dogs. Our server was nice and patient since our dog was hyper after seeing another dog at a table nearby. She gave us a pup cup in attempt to calm him down. The burger and fries were good. The tuna poke with wonton chips were also tasty and surprisingly huge (in the photos it looked tiny). The elote was just okay. Nice selection of beers. read more

Husband got the Cubano Sandwich with a side salad instead of fries. He said the sandwich was nice but it could have been a little less salty. The pork was cooked well and the flavors went well together. Maybe some letters or more pickles would have made the sandwich better. The raspberry vinaigrette was very flavorful. He went with a friend who got the duck wings. He seemed to enjoy the wings. read more
