The remodel is jarring but awesome, and for certain types of male nerds -- without giving away any spoilers -- the bathroom is Number One and the Best.

Cool bar/restaurant. Bartender was super cool, device was right on point, accommodates all customers with tv's and food was fresh and yummy. A truly fantastic selection of San Diego craft beer!
