Monday night, so it wasnt too crowded, but our server, Jared, was absolutely fantastic. Not to mention the food was incredible. I had the Philly cheesesteak and I was very impressed. If you are looking for solid food, solid service at a fairly reasonable price, Id recommend this place for sure.

My two favorite dishes are the Tamarind/Peanut curry and the Coconut Curry. I have never tasted such a delicious coconut dish that had a wonderful balance of flavor, richness and taste. Excellent.

I was there Saturday night and everything was amazing. The Whiskey burger was so big and really good. The best part was the service, Caitlyn and Veronica were amazing. They were so sweet and really fast even though the place was really busy. If you come here ask for them!

When we first stopped at this establishment it looked like a great place for some food. I saw some of the burgers going by and they looked so good. Maybe bad judgment on my part but I ordered a New York strip instead because I was craving some meat and potatoes. They steak I thought was delicious however the broccoli was under cooked and the potatoes were just off almost as if they added to much sour cream and butter they were almost runny. I wouldnt recommend getting this meal however there burgers did look good as they should for a bar.

Stopped in for a low-key late lunch on a Saturday. Many of the tables were full, but we were seated immediately. We then waited over ten minutes to be seen by a server. She took our drink orders, and the. We never saw her again. We gave up waiting at just over 20 minutes. The place wasnt busy. The rest of Gaslamp has figured out how to cope with COVID. Get it together.

Ordered chips and salsa, and wild turkey on the rocks. The chips and salsa took forever to come out and tasted really stale and old, and the whiskey had a piece of something floating in it.Would not recommend at all. Theres much better places to eat and drink all around this place.

Minus one star because on a Wednesday night, it started off slow but more and more people started to show up and yet they only had one waitress serving every table on both sides inside and out. Not the best.BUTFood came out fast and had lots of flavor. I’d say the Whiskey Burger is a Must even if it looks rather large (and add bbq sauce on the side to dip/pour, it adds tons of flavor).The BBQ bacon burger was very tasty but to my satisfaction, did not beat the Whiskey burger.Garlic fries were better than the tots as well, which were a little plain.Overall, only disappointment was service.Maybe next time there will be more servers.

Order steak tacos. Taco meat tasted old. Rice and beans were cold. I nicely told the waitress and she was extremely rude about it. She never checked on us after that. Horrible service and horrible food. Do not eat here.

Great atmosphere, great crowd, plenty of TVs showing sports. Service was a little slow but I was in no hurry so it did not bother me. The spicy chicken sandwich was really good and a large portion. Great selection of Whiskey and beers. I had 2 beers blood orange and stone ipas. They were delicious and cold. I used a groupon and it was a great deal. Will definitely return when I am San Diego.

The restaurant was empty at 4pm but the food came out VERY slowly. The waitress and hostess are pleasant. The pretzel and churro donuts were better than anything in the appetizer platter. The takeaway boxes are poorly made and don’t close up correctly. My first ever meal in San Day, this was not a positive and memorable dining experience.

Review №15

Nice outside, ok inside, has alot of big screens for watching sports, ok place to bring a date also, food and service was not that good, waitress acted like if she was a hot celebrity and as if I was so, so lucky to get her, I asked for some wings with jack daniels sauce, when I got them they came with some horrible bufalo sauce, also menu said they came with celery and carrots but all I got was what looked like leftovers from the chopping board, at least the beer was ok and not watered down like alot of places.

Typical American Sports bar. The food was good and the service was excellent. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and my wife the fish tacos. Minus one star for my wifes cold tacos.

Good food, good portion sizes and good price.We inadvertently went on live music night, and it was very loud and difficult to hear others at the table.Our server was great. She was kind, quick and accurate.It wasnt too busy, which made it easy to enjoy the space and enjoy the meal.I would definitely go back!

I cant give a higher rating at the moment because they have a tendency to over-charge and under-pour their cocktails. I once walked out more sober than when I walked in.Ended up here randomly because there were no hot dog places open on a Sunday. Had the Whiskey burger and it was delicious! It comes with a shot of Jack, so you cant beat that. I asked for my fries to be crispy and they were perfect and delicious. The wait staff took great care of us and were very attentive.I will be trying Whiskey Girl again. If the food, spirits, and service remain this good, I have no problem raising my star rating.

If you are ever after a burger that it is pointless to wipe your hands, or face, until after you eat the whole burger... this place ROCKS! The bbq burger is where it’s at! And the fries are very good!

Tried to go on a date Friday night with my wife while we were in town and was disappointed with our choice. It wasnt busy at all, but since we didnt seem like a young couple getting ready to start our night of drinking, we werent given service others received. The food was bland (I had the buffalo chicken sub) and wasnt anything special. Im sure if youre there for just a small bite and a beer, its not a bad place.

The service here is exceptional. First of all, I was going along my way on the sidewalk and the hostess at the entrance, Alicia, stop me in my tracks offering me there happy hour drink menu. When I said well Im going down the street, Alicia responded with and heres our happy hour food menu. I was impressed by her willingness to be bold and ended up going inside. My server, Darline, a beautiful young lady, came right away to ask me for my order. I asked her about the beer menu and she told me everything that was on top and then I asked her about the snack menu for happy hour and she pulled out of menu and pointed to it and explain each of the appetizers available and then went out to put my order in.While I was still sitting there waiting for my drink to arrive Jerry, the manager,ask me if I had been taken care of yet. Which I appreciated.

My husband and I ate here tonight with our 9 month old baby. It was a great experience.The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We asked if they could steam some broccoli for our baby and they gave us a huge portion at no charge.We had the nachos and black bean burger and both were super tasty.I would highly recommend checking this place out.

They really need to update their online menu prices. Their BBQ burger is $17 about $5 or $6 bucks more than the internet price. Glad I didnt purchase the Groupon deal before hand.

Review №35

While the service and food was great, management not so much. I there a few days ago, as a stop in on my vacation on the way to LA. I ate and had a 2 of happy hour beers. I lost track of time and had to rush out to get back on the road. When i got back to Michigan i was going through receipts and noticed charges that werent mine. I called to have the charges refunded and the manager was rude, saying i shouldve checked before I paid and there was nothing he could do. Im a restaurant manager myself so I know all he had to do is go into the system find my card and adjust the amount. I will be in San Diego again an although the service and food was good, Ill pass on this place. Managers are supposed to take care of these type of situations not be rude and basically tell you to get over it.

In the bathrooms there is a person expecting a dollar tip to help you wash your hands. Really? No thanks, I know how to wash my own hands. Intimidating and ridiculous. The bar server was unfriendly and didnt deserve a tip either. Overall, not impressed.

We heard there was a pole for dancing, and so we came here. But we didnt see such a thing!The place was very spacious. They have at least 2 bars to my knowledge. My friends and I had some drinks and danced the night away. We ruled the dance floor, too. Drink prices were typical; they werent as expensive as they are at clubs.According to my friends, I got down and had men lining up to dance with me! I just have fun dancing with my girls when the music is good, and it so was. Plus its always easier dancing in flats!

Review №51

This is your typical American sports bar. It had an open atmosphere with plenty of televisions with one them dedicated to Chive. So it provided plenty of laughs while eating brunch. Mimosas are bottomless here for $10 which my girlfriend had while I had an American mule. She had the chicken and waffles and I had the San Diego breakfast burrito. Both came with breakfast potatoes which were delicious! My burrito had eggs, potatoes, steak, salsa and sour cream on the side. The steak was full of flavor. This is a good place for brunch and I will be back in the future.

This review is for the security guard that had me step out because I made a “swift move” as he claimed. I tried to get him to explain the “swift move” but he could not. My fiancé was dancing with her friends and then I decided to get up from the table and start dancing with her. The security guard (white male bald/shaved head) decided to tell me to step out so I followed he stated that I wasn’t getting kicked out. So I asked him the reason why I was outside then. I was not belligerent or any such. I hadn’t had a drink all day. He then told me I made this “swift movement”. I said what is a swift movement. No explanation just kept saying a swift movement. So I then emptied my pockets held what I had in the air and said pat me down since you believe there is a problem. He said he didn’t need to. So I said why did you take me out when all I did was get up and start dancing with my fiancé. He again said swift movement. So I again asked him to explain this. He couldn’t. So I decided by my own decision that it was better for me to leave the location than continue to support a business let alone a club that has me step outside for no reason. So lesson is don’t sit and then get up and dance with your partner. You’ll be asked to step out and claim there was a swift movement.

Good food. The lunch special was really good. $11 for a salad and a chicken quesadilla. The Caesar Salad was actually really good! The quesadilla was too. They have a fairly good beer selection, but not as big as I was expecting. The waitress was really cute too.

Some guy on the street recommended this bar for serving really good burgers and he was right. We were asked for ID at the main door and opening a tab (they hold your credit card) is required inside prior to order. The place has the walls covered up with big tv screens so you can watch football games from every angle. It is a very busy and noisy place, I think more suitable for groups of young people for drinking and have fun rather than a place for couples.

I was in here on a Tuesday for lunch. The bartender was blatantly rude for no logical reason. It was like she was trying to cost the establishment business. Thats how bad it was. I mentioned it to the hostess on my way out, but she couldnt have cared less.I dont like assuming racism, but there really isnt an explanation that makes more sense. I was alone, so I guess they thought they could get away with it.

Heres why you need to listen to my review: I just arrived in San Diego three days ago and found this place through Maps. The service is great and for $30 you can start the day off right. Cant mention the service enough, it was great for a sports bar. 20 beers on tap.

This is a nice spot for dancing. There is a side bar and also a gated patio for smoking which allows space for socializing beside the dance floor. I go after the dinner crowd, they clear out tables to create the dancing area. Not as good as the old location.

This place is ratchet.I havent been to this bar in years, I go online and look up their dress code and get well dressed. As soon as I went inside I saw people in shorts, sport jerseys, hats, beanies and ladies with torn up clothes. Might aswell not have a dress code. Idk what happened but a couple years ago that bar used to be good.
