Great entree prices! Cute dive bar interior and friendly service! Our server told us slay and asked for our names so we love that. Bit of a longer wait time for our food which I notice is a pattern for other reviews here Breakfast balls were crispy fried potato balls w/ bits of bacon. This rolled in the gravy is so good. We shared this bite and had zero complaints Cinnamon pancakes were so delicious. These are more soft and fluffy with no crisp edge. They are super sweet, it'd be hard to finish this by itself but perfect if paired with something savory to balance it out Country fried steak was yummy! I don't have too much to say about it but my friend said that she'd return and she was able to finish most of it Pork Belly Benedict had a sweet maple bbq sauce on it. It was on top of fried potato cake, eggs were all cooked perfect. Each had satisfying broken yolk. This was just alright to me because of the glaze read more

Werewolf American Pub is a HOWL in the heart of Downtown San Diego! From the minute we rolled up, the energy was popping! Some tips before you go: 1. Hop on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time! 2. You can park at Horton Plaza Parking garage for up to 3 hours for $12.00 with ticket validation from the restaurant A huge kudos to the general manager for hiring wonderful staff! Sooooooo......Huge shoutout to the lovely hostess working this morning (she knows her stuff and was extremely informative and friendly and im sorry but I didn't catch her name.) And....Taylor was super attentive and kind, offered to take our drink order, he checked on my friend and I while we were waiting (get yourself on the YELP Waitlist early....trust me it's a game changer) even sparked up a conversation and quickly brought us back to our table. Once seated, Brian took amazing care of us from start to finish. Good service and just a good vibe all around. We also chatted with Fiona and she was a total Vibe too. Everyone here has an admirable personality that's adds to the experience. Food was delish, drinks were pretty tasty, The DJ was throwing it back with some Classics and we found ourselves reminiscing about the good ol' days while grubbing. Such a lively, fun, no pressure atmosphere. The kind of place you could easily spend a couple hours and not even notice the time by fly. I will definitely come back with my adult kiddos :) Thanks for making our first experience a memorable one. read more

Stopped by during New Year's eve to check this place out and to get a drink. Karaoke seems to be a big deal here at 9 PM and they had a lot of food options that you could get late in the night which was cool! They also are open for breakfast and lunch where it seems like lots of people really enjoy their food. The bouncer outside was really nice and told us about the karaoke right away. It was a cool place but wasn't very lively around 7-8:30 PM (definitely earlier in the night). So it was super easy to get a spot! My Mai Tai was good and I loved the cute glass it was in. The bathrooms are also super cool with comic book pages all on the walls. It was also really clean! They also had popcorn in a popcorn maker which was cool! read more

Great local spot with a lot of personality, walkable from the cruise ship without feeling touristy. Lots of wonderful local beers on tap and our party got a great variety of salads (beets/brussels & another buffalo chicken), burgers, and specialty pancakes (a huge hit). Super friendly staff and reasonable pricing for SD. I'd go again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Having been to werewolf quite a few times, I will say the vibe is always great. Everything I've had there always hits the spots, from drinks to food. The bartenders are super friendly, quick and attentive even when super busy. read more

Came into Werewolf for a Sunday brunch date! Devoured the pork belly benedict and hushpuppies which were so good. Loved that they had a cake of the moment which was peppermint with a scoop of ice cream on top. Portion sizes had us stuffed and we still left with plenty of leftovers. DJ spinning at 10 AM, because nothing says brunch like beats before noon. Great service by Angie! read more

Fun place for breakfast. The pork belly Benedict was delicious. It is not a traditional hollandaise sauce, but rather a sweeter, saltier accompaniment for the Rick pork belly. The eggs were perfectly poached. Sitting atop a potato cake instead of an English muffin, it was a nice change to my typical brunch choice. My partner had the country fried steak and scrambled eggs. This felt very much like eating at a diner of my childhood (1970s-1980s). We got a cinnamon pancake that was covered with icing. It was light, fluffy, and sweet. Brunch would not be complete without trying the spicy Bloody Mary for my partner and bloody Maria for me. This wasn't the spiciest I have ever had but it was very lemony and refreshing. There was a DJ spinning breakfast tunes, a Blondie poster on the wall, and an absolutely delightful server named Fiona who made the experience that much better. Great vibe. Family friendly and couple friendly and brunch with pals friendly. read more

I'll start with the good things: service was good, friendly, and attentive. Menu pricing was very reasonable for the downtown area. The elote dip was pretty good. My entree was the BBB salad (beets, brussel, bleu cheese) was so disappointing. I was looking forward to a delicious salad. I love Brussel sprouts, but not this. The brussel sprouts were BURNT. Not charred, BURNT. I Inedible but I tried to eat it, I didn't want to waste food but I only could eat a third of my plate. So heavy on the dressing underneath the brussel sprouts, the light spring mix never stood a chance. read more

I loved this place!!! Everything about this place was amazing. I especially loved the atmosphere, from the decor to the DJ, it was great. The DJ had an amazing play list going. I ordered the pork belly benedict, doesn't that just sound amazing?!?! Well it was, pork belly was nicely cooked, good sauce, over potatoes, just YUM!!! We came for brunch and didn't have to wait long since it was a weekday, but it quickly filled up! But in any case, it would be worth the wait. I can't wait to eat here again!!! Service was super friendly, they actually like to conversate with their guests and get to know you, loved that!!! read more

Great spot in downtown San Diego! Hubby and I popped into Werewolf for brunch after dropping friends at the airport only a 5-minute drive, parking right out front. It's an open-air bar with a fun view of the sidewalk, clean, and family friendly. He had a Bloody Mary and a breakfast burrito (a must!), and I went with the pork belly Benedict, even though I'm not typically a pork belly fan. (everyone was recommending it based on the yelp reviews ) It was really flavorful and looked amazing. The best part? The CUSTOMER SERVICE The bartenders and servers were so friendly and on it. Great energy all around. It is what makes the five stars. read more

This place is a wonderful stop for a night out. The free popcorn is always a great touch, the drinks are delicious- especially the cocktail list, and the ambience is great.

Came in for drinks on a thirsty Thursday. I think I like the idea of Werewolf more than reality. Decent amount of spirits for cocktails and bar staff was friendly, but music was so loud I couldn't talk to the person sitting across from me without screaming. Also came during a karaoke night, vibe looked fun but only for a really specific crowd - apparently club music and country was all they could queue up that night. Wasn't really the vibe I was hoping for. That being said their breakfast menu looks super fun, but I wasn't in the area when it was live. read more

We came here on a holiday for brunch around 11am and the restaurant was almost about full! Luckily there was so bar seating so we were able to get seated immediately. We then ordered food at the bar, which went pretty smoothly. We ordered a Country Fried Steak and the Steak Scramble. It's fun they also have a live DJ here too. Although, the wait for our food took wayyyy longer than it should have. We waited about 30 minutes for our food to get to our table, and it just soured our appetite for it. We got the country fried steak first, which was my bf's dish, and he said it tasted like it was "sitting out for awhile"... This was really disappointing as we had waited for a long while for our food. Then came the steak scramble, which felt like it was freshly made compared to the first dish. Taste test, I mainly had the steak scramble, which I thought it was pretty good. I feel that this type of dish would taste even better with alcohol, but I just wanted food lol. My bf's comments about the country fried steak was that it was just "okay", maybe because it wasn't as freshly made. Overall, we wanted to like this place, but the wait just made it not as worth it. I would say, it's a good place if you want to come here for both drinks AND brunch. You'll probably get through several rounds of drinks by the time the food comes. As a brunch place alone, you're not missing much. read more

In town for a day and saw that this place has a tiramisu martini, which I'd never had before and oh my it was so delicious! The service was good, though the server got one of our drink orders wrong but we didn't want to make a fuss about it. The atmosphere wasn't the greatest. I did notice a sewage smell when I walked in, which could be from outside since it's close to the street.. read more

This place is an absolute blast. We came on a Thursday night, and they had karaoke going. I'm not exaggerating when I say everyone could actually sing. It made the whole night even more fun. They played a great mix of music so there was something for everyone. The place was packed and full of energy. The inside is super cute and has a fun, welcoming vibe. They even have complimentary popcorn and a charging station for your phone. The bartenders were exceptionally friendly and impressively quick with service, even with how busy it was. Overall, such a great time. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a fun night out. read more

The husband and I felt like a night out but also wanted food. We found this place in Instagram and decided to give it a try. Our bartender Jasmine was great! She made our drinks exactly how we wanted them, got our appetizers out in a timely manner and she even made recommendations on brunch menu items for the next time we want to stop by. Ambiance was great, laid back, good music and karaoke started at 9pm! Highly recommended! read more

Ordered pork belly Benedict, Oreo cookie cake, and chilaquiles roja. Coffee with refills. The pork belly Benedict is the top choice, which I'm not surprised it was extremely delicious! Oh we also ordered breakfast shot - if you certainly want to start your morning, I would suggest this shot. Dangerdorf herbal liqueur- butterscotch snaps, OJ, bacon garnish. To our surprise, came here on a Saturday at 8:30 and it was quite empty to sit anywhere. Looks like they have karaoke nights. read more

Came in for some food and cocktails in the early afternoon. Saw that the reviews were pretty good. The second I walked in, I was greeted very kindly. My boyfriend and I had amazing service from start to finish. The highlights for me were the Juicy K cocktail and if there's one thing you must order here, it's the garlic fries. Honestly eating those fries was an out of body experience. They were some of the crispiest perfectly salted fries ever. Their biscuits in their bisquits and gravy are heavenly. So soft. And their house made sausage gravy was spectacular. Unfortunately I ate so many fries I was unable to finish the biscuits but everything we ate was outstanding, even the cheesy chive scrambled eggs. The playlist was great, the decor was nice, highly recommend. read more

Amazing! Service was above and beyond, food was delicious and the cocktails were great! We used to come here a lot before covid, but don't live as close. We did a little staycation this weekend and decided to stop by for brunch. They had multiple games on the tv, and were able to put the packers on for us. Music was popp'n too! (Kudos to the DJ) Everything was still top notch and we're sad we're not closer! We split the country fried steak and triple threat burger with garlic fries. Breakfast with lunch :). We also ordered the tiramisu martini and carajillo... SO GOOD (especially the carajillo). Jasmine was our server and she was perfect! Enjoy! read more

The food is great, I loved the breakfast burrito! The best part is certainly the mimosas, you can order bottles of champagne with fruit juices for as cheap as $15 a bottle (their version of "bottomless"). Awesome wait staff as well, and very attentive despite the busy place! 10/10 will be returning :) read more

So glad we decided to come here for Brunch on our last day in town! We knew we picked the right place as soon as we saw/heard the DJ! The host greeted us with a smile then came Mike who took our drink order while we waited outside. He also ended up being our server once we got seated. This guy can run for Mayor and WIN! What a personality! He was funny and made us feel so welcome. He took care of our group and was so attentive! The food was great, the drinks were deliciously put together and the overall service from all the staff made our visit so worthwhile. You can tell the staff enjoys each other and what they do - it reflected in their interactions with each other and with the customers. Thank you Werewolf! Will come again!

After all these years, and almost 6,000 reviews later, yes you read that correctly, 6,000 REVIEWS, Werewolf still reigns supreme for me when I make my way downtown. If you're visiting our beautiful city of San Diego, I'll direct this review towards you. Werewolf is the fun bar without an angle or a gimmick. It feels like you've walked into an upscale house party, but it's also not divey. It's hard to explain because it has a friendly vibe, it's casual, but the food and service are more elevated than you'd expect for a place that is so casual. You should be warned, Werewolf can get busy, but that just brings more energy to the room, especially when karaoke gets going. Yep, they have a great karaoke setup so be sure to look up the days and hours that they break out the mics. I want to say they do karaoke most days, if not everyday? Dig in, you'll find out and don't skip this bar if you're staying downtown... you're sure to have a great time! read more

Phenomenal breakfast place (and karaoke bar???). Not too busy in the morning, so I got a table easily. Curious by how many pictures of the same order were posted on Yelp, I decided to follow suit and ordered the Pork Belly Benedict. They give you three small Benedicts with a flavorful egg, juicy and fatty pork, and a sweet-tasting biscuit that amazed me. Never had a benedict like it before. Chicken Fried Steak was pretty good, standard tasting. Would definitely come back for that awesome Benedict dish. I think each dish is around $10-20. read more

We originally had reservations for brunch, but our party was about 6 mins late or so and our table had been given up for the next group walk-in since it was during NYE weekend, it was busy. We were still able to walk up to the bar, order drinks while we waited. A bar table was sort of emptying out and we slowly migrated there where we later were able to order food and more drinks. What I ordered: Pork Belly Benedict Espresso Martini (x2) I'm not much of a benedict fan, however omg the pork belly benedict at Werewolf was so good! It was a popular dish that was recommended by our waiter and I am glad I gave it a try. It comes in 3 pieces and was the perfect size meal for me to have prior to heading into Petco Park for Proper. I would say, my meal came out later than everyone else's dishes, so I felt like I needed to rush eating as we were trying to make it somewhere in time. The ambiance here was WILD! There were a lot of people - groups, dancing, talking, TVs, screaming (b/c sports), laughter, lots of light, craziness, it seems a little chaotic, but it works. Drinks upon drinks always coming out from the bar, waitstaff running around, food serving up out of the kitchen. Some of my friends had luggage with them and the staff was nice and allowed them to hold their luggage in this room for them until we all left. I had a fun time here and would recommend / come back. read more

Had a fun brunch with friends on a Saturday around 1pm. Had a reservation but it wasnt too overcrowded. Group of 5. We enjoyed our drinks and food, tried some different plates and shared some apps. We enjoyed the DJ playing music, definitely had me get up and dance a few times! Overall a fun spot to meet up with friends and enjoy some music, drinks and food. We also got to tag their wall!

My wife and I (from Ohio) and loved this place. The staff were friendly and efficient. The first person who greeted us, Taylor, asked us our names, and must have shared them with the other server because they called us by our first names for the entire time we were there. Impressive. The atmosphere was upbeat but not over the top and the PINEAPPLE-JALAPENO BURGER was one of the top three burgers I've ever eaten. And I'm 71 so that's a lot of burgers! And the garlic fries were top notch as well. Well done, Werewolf! We'll be back!! read more

One of my favorite places to come - during Comic Con. Let me explain. During Comic-Con you can come here and not only have the chance to see a plethora of people sing karaoke (that's a normal Saturday, right?) but they are also dressed like their favorite super hero, anime, comic book and obscure fandom characters. It's fantastic and I love it. (why yes, I might even be wearing a Dr. Who cosplay myself when I'm here then, why do you ask?) Yes, there can be a line, and yes, you might have to stand, but the drinks are great, you'll have a fantastic time, and if you can't get into the fandom party (who can?!) this is a fantastic second option. I've heard they have food too...I haven't tried it yet. Maybe one day.... read more

We arrived at 8:45 pm and we got the last open table. The music was loud and there were many choices of sports to watch on the television screens on the wall above the bar. You have to order food and beverages at the bar, so you have to wait in line for a while. But we did not wait long in line, and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. My friend liked the Buffalo Chicken Salad. The chicken tacos were very flavorful. Karaoke started around 9:10 and it was really fun, slough it was difficult to hear your name over the loud music. It was a fun and lively atmosphere. read more

It was our first time here and we LOVED IT! We arrived early for brunch on Saturday and were told by the NICEST hostess Ruby that it would be about a 45 min wait for our party of 4. She offered us the option of ordered drinks at the bar and sitting outside to wait for our table. So we got some mimosas and bloody Mary's and chilled until our table was ready. Ruby did a great job communicating where we were on the waitlist (there was a party of 17 and a party of 8 in front of us!). When we got seated, we ordered the san le crute (which is a pb and J French toast with powdered sugar and OMG it was amazing. We also ordered the pork belly Benedict which was also fantastic. The service was good as well. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. We loved everything about this place, especially Ruby! read more
