ian hallAugust 5, 2013Friendly bar staff and chefs! The crab and avocado app is a winner and the desserts are delectable. Don't miss out on the 1/2 price cocktails during happy hour. Plenty of bang for your buck!
Mark HintzApril 12, 2015Their beignets are to die for! Absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is great and service is punctual and delightful. Currant has a great brunch in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter!
BRINK MagazineJuly 28, 2012Great little American eatery attached the The Sofia Hotel. You cannot leave without ordering the goat cheese stuffed zucchini flowers. Great drinks too, but most importantly, mega-cute bar staff.

Erin D.July 22, 2013The duck burger is not actually a "duck burger" but a beef burger w/ a duck egg on top. Oops! But a great wait staff helped me fix my reading goof. Also try the Old Broadway.
ErnestoJanuary 25, 2012Nice place, cool but not too pricey, in the Hotel Sofia. Back for the turkey burger and thyme fries before hitting the hay after a looong day of work and travel.
@RickNakamaNovember 9, 2012I did a yelp check in for the special for my 1st time because the yelp offer is better than the foursquare one.
- @Ms_Terree Gonzo Gourmands Facebook PageAugust 25, 2010They have THE BEST late Happy Hour Bar Menu prices! Incredible quality fare at prices much lower than you would pay elsewhere in the Gaslamp! They only charge 1/2 price 4pm - 7pm & 9pm - 11pm! They Read more
Softub Inc.February 22, 2012The Sofia hotel may be old, but the flavors here aren't. Each wine compliments their stellar plates, that are filled with nothing but amazing taste, and phenomenal presentation.
Lidisset ViartAugust 9, 2014Unless you like thyme don't order the fries. . Good happy hour ambiance. . Very lively and friendly bartenders
Nicki EscuderoAugust 20, 2012Ask for Peter--he's a really great server! Go for the bottomless mimosa brunch on the weekends--only $8!
Paula GutierrezNovember 11, 2014The servicie it's outstanding and the Happy Hour Menu it's delicious
- Selin DemrenJune 15, 2013"Tater tots" are not really tater tots. They are fried mashed potatoes. Try them they are great.
LeeanneSeptember 23, 2011Why are you waiting in line at Sushi Deli? This place is across the street and has real food that is delicious.
Christy McAbeeMarch 3, 2013Candied leek and goat cheese salad was delicious. Not very vegetarian friendly place though :(
Alan CruzJuly 14, 2010Take your dog to Currant! The dog friendly patio is quiet pleasant, and they feed your dog organic doggy snacks!
AlyssaSeptember 10, 2011Get the tots during happy hr, red wine sangria, and/or the lavender lemonade.
Visit San DiegoApril 19, 2010Currant was the first bar in Southern California to sell the popular European drink, Absinthe. Try it and find out if you see any green fairies. Read more
Kevin is awesome at the bar. Strong drinks, great service.
foods a bit rich (although yummy) so don't worry about the small portions
Don't do the chicken tortilla soup for 6.95 in a small bowl w/o chicken but Chef said should only have a small amount broth I call it.....
