Overall - 4.5 / 5 Vibe - Came here on a Friday evening and they had live karaoke night. It's a pretty awesome scene! They have a live band that plays from a list of music focused on 90s rock/pop of about 50 songs. It's pretty awesome and attracted some great local talent to the stage. Everyone was warm/welcoming and I was delightfully surprised to have stumbled upon this Drinks - Standard drinks including beer/wine/well. They do have some fun drink specials as well including the Dude. It's a fun cold brew drink with whipped cream - dangerous. I'll def come back here for the Friday Karaoke, and may even get up on stage one night. Look out! read more

This place is the best! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and you can pick your own spot. There are TVs everywhere, so it's a great place to come any day, especially during football season--they really do it up, which is super dope! Great beer selection, great music, and the DJ was on point. Hannah took great care of us--she's amazing, attentive, and has such a great spirit. The food is decent too. I really enjoyed the Cobb salad--no blue cheese, NO blue cheese crumbles,add ranch, and OMG... bomb.com! Definitely a great spot to come hang out, watch some sports, grab some good food, and enjoy yourself! read more

Service is pretty lacking but definitely the best vodka martini in town. Insert more thoughts to reach character length. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Pretty hype place to watch the World Cup! Plenty of tvs. I only ordered the chips & salsa and I was extremely disappointed. Chips were not salted. The red & green salsas were bland! I had to shake salt into them and put a few drops of Tapatío to make it taste okay. Don't bother with ordering the chips & salsa. I did bum a few fries off my friend and those did taste good--crispy and salted. We also shared a pretzel and it was good--mustard sauce was nice and thick, and the beer cheese was nice and spicy. read more

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! read more

This has been on of our favorite spots, service was pretty good. Until today's visit, we decided to get food to go. It's took what seemed like forever and the place wasn't that busy. We decided to get it to go after being shut down to eat outside food there. Which was a first for us, places we been too where cool with us or one of us in the group having outside food. We been sitting there and people kept getting food before us that just got to there. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

A lot of the food is just ok but there are some good items such as the cubano, the ground chuck norris, the fries, and the fried pickles with what appears to be a pesto ranch dip. They have a good rotation of drinks, specials, and events (including trivia on wednesday nights). There's both indoor and outdoor seating with a bunch of tvs for various sporting events. I wanted to write this review specifically to highlight Sarah who is super attentive and friendly and made our experience 5 stars. I'm always glad when she's our waitress because she makes sure that we get our food orders correct and on time with a great attitude! read more

Cool spot; stopped by for a few drinks. Drinks were good. Fun atmosphere. Good customer service from the bartenders. Parking is limited around this area; there are street parking and it's located near other bars, shops and restaurants. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I came here the other day with my cousins, and we had a great time chillin & listening to the dj. I started off brunch with The Dude, but it kinda missed the mark for me--it tasted like watered-down coffee with a noticeable splash of alcohol. Not really my vibe. Now Purple Hour? Total game changer. A blueberry matcha dream! So smooth, so flavorful--definitely a 10/10. I'd absolutely recommend grabbing this one! I also ordered the breakfast burger with fries and wow--it was bomb! I'd 100% order it again. I gave the chicken chilaquiles a try, but honestly, they were a bit lacking in flavor. read more

We just had lunch there; it was not too busy, but very slow for the food to come out. I had the Taco Tuesday Brisket tacos; they were pretty bland and oily. My son had the Fish and Chips - I had a bite of the fish, and it was REALLY greasy. The Brussels Sprouts he was excited for were swimming in oil; he couldn't eat them. I didn't even try a taste. The fries were good. It was disappointing; my sons got a bit of a wonky stomach, the guy with the cast-iron stomach. My other son had the flatbread, which seemed to be ok; he didn't say. A bit of a disappointment - Blind Lady Ale House next time... read more

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. read more

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

I really cant say enough good things about Rabbit Hole!! Not only are they a great place to watch a game, with good beer and unique bar food, but during Taste of Adams when they ran out of food, they just pulled something else off the menu!!! How do you not just love a place who loves customers?! read more

While I just reviewed Rabbit Hole in May, I just want to come back and share some additional love after my last visit, last Friday. You'd think a place like this would be overwhelming and to crowded on a Friday night, but this place felt comfortable and busy without being crowded. I say this because in my old age I feel like (in my head) I avoid places like Rabbit Hole on a busy block because I just assume they're going to be messy with people. Not here. We watched the Padres game and sipped our drinks with ease all while carrying on a great conversation... even with the (really good) musician playing. I'm a sucker for some acoustic punk rock and last Friday the guitar player set the scene. It was fantastic. Thanks for being you, Rabbit Hole. See you soon! read more

The Rabbit Hole in Normal Heights is a fantastic spot with a quirky, inviting vibe that makes it stand out in the neighborhood.

Whether you're there for the cocktails, the bites, or just the unique ambiance, The Rabbit Hole delivers a memorable experience. read more

I stopped by last night. I was quite startled when there was a guy lurking in the bathroom hallway. When he saw me in the mirror he disappeared somewhere and I realized that things didn't feel right, I went back to get my friend. When we came out of the bathroom he reappeared. When he saw that I was not alone he disappeared again. He was hiding in the men's restroom. Yikes read more

I got a sandwich here. Good live music! I went for a the street fair. Not the best service

First visit and didn't notice it was a bar but, it wasn't crowded and open air. We had their unique nachos with tater tots with the optional brisket and it was piled high and Cuban Sandwich with uniquely spiced fries (tasted a hint of cinnamon) and both were excellent, hot and flavorful. The bartender/server was excellent. We found another "hidden gem", really how often to people got to a bar for food. Unique, quality food served hot and plentiful, we will definitely be going back and often! 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

Not impressed with this place. Seems they catered to younger people and they put all of us over 60 in other section. Yes we noticed!! The flatbread was burnt on the top and raw on the bottom.

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.

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

I came here for a Pitch-a-Friend event. I had the house margarita ($7 for taco Tuesday pricing) and a side of chips and salsa for 6 dollars. The margarita was pretty tasty.

Overall, it was fine but I won't be back. read more

It was so cold - we sat with our coats on the entire time. Our waitress was bubbly and pleasant. The food wasn't very good at all. My husband had the tuna poke and while it wasn't advertised on the menu as being spicy, it was super spicy and he could barely eat it. I had the cheese curds and they were really greasy. Our friends had the fish and chips with Brussel sprouts that were burnt to a crisp and super sweet. Way too much balsamic glaze on them for sure. read more
