My name is Bassel. I will talk. I prefer heavy drinks and not beers. Beers consume too much space in my stomach, and from the surgery I had, I can't use it all. I prefer heavier drinks because without the slow trance, I do not feel like I weigh an extra 40lb. I drink Guinness here and this is why I CHOSE this pub. It is hard to find it served anywhere. If you want to see me drink through heavy drinks and be the most stable guy ever with amazing charisma, come to this bar. It's called Irish Tavern.

I have been to the Tony Gwynn Sports Pub twice. The first time it was a regular sit-down restaurant…read moreand was great. But my most recent visit was for one of the special "endless dining" options. On select nights (Wed-Sun), they offer different endless dining options. I went on a Saturday, which was a "Surf & Surf" menu. LOTS of seafood items to select from, including lobster tails! Honestly, I loved this place. It was expensive ($75 per person), so I don't know that I would do it often, but it was a nice treat. The restaurant is not a traditional buffet, so that setup is a little strange. There is a main buffet line, where the staff will plate the food for you. And then if you want salads, oysters or shrimp there is a separate station for that, across one side of the room. And a dessert station on the other side of the room (I almost missed this one!). The over all theme of the place is a sports pub. So there is a bar and tons of TV's showing all the popular sporting events. And of course there are tons of Padre related memorabilia and images on the walls to enjoy.

Come here when bored on a Monday night just for a chance to catch one of his sets.

The beer and drink selection alone is worth the visit--tons of options whether you're keeping it casual or trying something new. Food-wise... the Bacon Mac N Cheese was next level. Rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want it to be. My buddy (who was literally about to move out of town) went with the burger--and let's just say he picked the right "last meal" in Oceanside. What really stood out though was the service. Top of the line from start to finish. Big shoutout to Mitch--young guy, super personable, clearly takes pride in what he does. He was everywhere in the best way, checking in on tables, making people feel taken care of. Honestly, the way he moves, he should be serving--he's got that natural touch. Great food, great drinks, great people. One of those nights that just hits right. I'll definitely be back.

Everything on the menu sounds amazing, unfortunately what we chose was just ok…read more The service was very slow and the seating was challenging for my 8 year old... low with random cushions the kept slipping. We moved chairs around and grabbed blankets and got it worked out without any help from staff. Porkbelly appetizer was overcooked and lacked anything special that made it memorable. The pork chop was also overcooked and the grits were very thick.. cheesy but not creamy. The short ribs were dry.... Strange for braised meat and not enough sauce. The sauce was really good as were the mashed potatoes and carrots. The burger was excellent. Really juicy with a great bun. The atmosphere is very cool and inviting. I would return for burgers and to try the fried chicken. It looked awesome coming out of the kitchen. The burger was excellent.

Second, it is LOUD. It is a bar and grill, and we went on St. Patrick's Day. It was energetic and fun - not for quiet conversation. I did not drink anything alcoholic as I was driving, but food wise, my taco was great - really good tortilla - and service was pleasant, even on a busy evening. My friend and I both agreed we would return.

I ordered a double drink and 10 minues later I was given a to the brim heavy liquor drink, which I was greatful for in order to calm my nerves. I received a heavyly braded fish paddy from The lunch lady" in the back and potatoe slices freshly cut and fried; so I was told. This is a bar that serves food that is all I can say.
