Came here after work one day. Won't lie I felt so welcome by the bartenders after telling them I have never been there before. Hot wings are great! And the ambience is just like any other bar in PB. Fun and friendly

Philly Cheezsteak Sandwich
Grace L.

My boyfriend and I come here a lot to play pool or get drinks. We got food for the first time after a friend recommended the Cheezsteak Sandwich. I thought it was OK. I prefer AZ and Raglan's cheesesteak sandos. Burger was decent and a great deal before 7pm where burger and beer are only $10. A lot of dudes were coming in and ordering that deal. The drinks are like any dive bar but the pool table is free albeit in a small space so you have to use a 'short stick' if you want to shoot from one of the sides. :0) A great locals place and bartenders are very nice and friendly.

Unbeatable $10 burger beer fries lunch special
Charles H.

Is the $10 Burger + Fries + Craft Beer San Diego's best lunch special? I'm making a strong argument for that! Basically an $8 beer, $1.50 for the burger and 50 cents for the fries...come ON! Offer good until 6:00 pm daily, I believe. My burger was good- two beautiful tomato slices and grilled red onions, by God! Fries were sort of the natural cut style with skin, seasoned with Old Bay, which is like a hug from my home state of Maryland. Owner Johnny is very personable and made my (well behaved) 13 year-old son feel welcome.

Thursday evening happy hour, 2 burgers & fries and 2 yummy beers for $23. Unbelievableeeee, we will be back as we live down the street. We've been wanting to come and so glad we did! The deal is from Monday - Saturday! + a outdoor seating in the front and a back patio

Chicken strip basket
Benjamin W.

I had just seen the episode from Community where the group runs a chicken strip business so I was hankering for chicken strips. Pros: the chicken strip basket came loaded with fries that had an amazing seasoning. By the end I was full. Cons: note the size of the chicken strip in the picture. You get 5 of those. They're roughly the size of a finger ranging in size from thumb to middle. It was also tough and chewy. Perhaps the other food is fine, but try elsewhere for chicken strips. Also not a huge deal but I got my meal to go and didn't get napkins. Which again isn't bad, just inconveniencing.

The bar

Heather greeted me with an awesome smile and quickly grabbed my beer and took my food order. John made a super delicious burger. was perfect. The service was beyond friendly and exceptional. Prices are great. It's like coming home. Thank you all for working on 4th of July with such great attitudes. Gonna come back for their $10 burger and beer special and bomb HH.

Wings.  Get them.

Walking in you feel transported into a new world. The lighting is breathtaking!…read moreThey have a great happy hour that'll keep your thirst quenched while you jam out playing video games in the arcade. They even have a picnic table area outside if you prefer. Bar staff fast and friendly and willing to make suggestions. Totally my new favorite happy hour hang out!!

$34.00 (before tax & tip) for two burgers: Patty Issues (3 patties) and This Burger Understands Me…read more(2 patties). I'll definitely be back for the bar, the pinball, and those burgers! We walked in and found out that they have a strict age limit, which I discovered when they insisted on scanning my ID into a machine. I'm closer to the tomb than the womb, so I'm not entirely sure what they were expecting to find. But apparently, the machine needed to verify that I'm legally old enough to be there. Afterward, the bartender thanked me by name. My person who is closer to the womb than the tomb forgot their ID. It could have been Justin Bieber, or myself for that matter, but it wasn't going to happen. The burgers would have to be, to go. First impression is the decor is classic, and the place was absolutely immaculate. Later, I noticed the bathrooms were spotless, and perhaps most importantly, there was no graffiti on the walls. It's a class act establishment where civilization survives. There's a back covered patio surrounded by ferns, a great game room, and then the backyard where the food trailer is located. It was Sunday around 2pm, and while talking to the bartender, they mentioned that they had wings out for happy hour and the games. But I had my sights set on the Wagyu burgers. If I must say so myself, it was an excellent choice on my part. The patties were perfectly seasoned, and the toppings mixed with the Wagyu juices to create a delicious little sauce. I happened to have some chips underneath the burger, and they basically became the lucky recipients of all that wonderful burger grease. Very, very yummy. Walking around while waiting for my food, one can't help but notice that the bourbon selection is fantastic. While my person was booted, I can still say that all the employees were cordial, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. No attitude, no nonsense just good service. While it's listed as a dive bar, it's way too chic for that classification. I love a welcoming bars with great burgers, an excellent bourbon selection, and enough character to keep me coming back. Which I plan on doing in force!

We love a good dive bar, so while exploring San Diego's Old Town we did what any responsible day…read moredrinkers would do... we Googled "dive bars" & ended up at Old Town Saloon. And honestly? This place was exactly the vibe we were hoping to find. The second we walked in, I loved the vintage feel of the decor. It has that authentic old-school saloon energy that can't be manufactured. A genuine neighborhood watering hole with personality - a little worn in, full of character & packed with stories. One of the best parts of our visit was the bartender, who also happened to be the third-generation owner. He struck that perfect balance of being super friendly & welcoming without being all up in our business. You could tell he genuinely cared about the place & its history. He shared some great stories that made the experience feel personal. We settled in for some drinks & soaked up the atmosphere. The history of San Diego Old Town swirled around us as we enjoyed our time at the Old Town Saloon. Highly recommend.

This is a great spot to grab a drink when there is a crowd outside. We were waiting for the Whaley…read moreHouse tour and stopped in for a drink. Liz was awesome and even made recommendations for restaurants for us. She was talkative and engaging while also serving everyone quickly. Looks like a great spot for the evening, but we were just starting out the lunch drinkers for the day!
