So I checked in and got a free sampler of 4 beers; All were great, then used a groupon and got the pan seared scallops. My cost $15... Are you kidding, I did of course tip accordingly. Simply amazing
Anna JensenJuly 8, 2011Fairly new on the block and way better than the more established "Neighborhood." The chips were carmelized onion dip were amazing! Bartenders were great, friendly to us "beer tourists" and you can b
The steak sandwich is amazing. I'd recommend substituting the truffle fries for the regular fries. The Ahi tacos are the only thing I've tried here that I didn't like.

Matt FerrariOctober 5, 2015Giants bar! Watched football game amongst other fans. Food is good, beer selection is large. Only downside is they only serve breakfast until 11
Matthew TaubApril 8, 2017Solid brewery with a small tasting room. Nice little street patio to take in a flight.
Great specials every night night of the week including Thursday trivia night and half off bottles of wine! This place is amazing!
El DoostyAugust 1, 2017This space is really great with the expansion both next door and open air patio in back
Great local watering hole! Good food and drinks!!
Serious EatsJuly 15, 2013Knotty Barrel makes honest, straightforward burgers that are just plain good.
They are one of the first bars in San Diego to carry 619 Vodka. Be sure to try some if you're drinking cocktails!- For all my beer friends. This place has a good selection of beers and a dog friendly patio
Christopher BeaucheminJune 3, 2011The BLT-A sandwich is pretty awesome! As is the fried Twinkie. Highly recommend both. Ask for Keiliki to be your server. She was great.
- Come to live prize trivia every Thursday at 8 but if you want to get a table come early
- Sarah McQnMarch 24, 2013potato chip nachos are delightful and the hurricane deck double ipa is delicious
Katherine HamiltonAugust 3, 2018The food is a little expensive. I had the chicken strips and they were good but a little expensive for my liking. It was trivia night and the service wasn’t very good.
Dylan ShepardApril 15, 2018Secret back bar next to giant jenga. Ok, not so secret but still tucked away.
NicoleOctober 18, 2013Beer is good. Bartender could use a smile n be in a better mood. If u don't like ur job, quit.- Don't order the turkey sandwich. Everything else so far has been awesome tho! Bison burger?! YUMM!
Great place to watch the Giants! Free shots with every score.
Pint night for the win. That Cooperatown beer. Gnomeagong
