Kyle PetzingerApril 18, 2013Best place in North Park to watch a game. Huge, square bar surrounded by a ton of booths and tables. Lots and lots of TVs.
Brian MercadoJuly 31, 2015Good place to come hang out with friends at night both during the week and on weekends. Great vibe and music. Good place to come catch a game too. Place is very big and gets crowded on weekends.
Mark GahaganAugust 19, 2014Good sports bar during the day, take care at night as the clients get a little more...rowdy
Joshua LivecchiOctober 6, 2014The tatter tots are pretty good. Great place to catch some sports in the weekends too. Other then that not to much special about it.
Tuesday night is d+b, dubstep and moombacore. The crowd is a little different from normal (but still a little douchy) and the music keeps you on your feet all night long.
Matt MMay 18, 2013Tater tots suck ... Just a bag of frozen tater tots deep fried like you would get from a truck stop breakfast (cheese optional). Rest if the food was great but but tater tots took away from everything
Lot of pub food but really good. Great place to have a beer and a huge plate of tater tots
Ray ElkinsJanuary 27, 2011If you want to avoid the "feels like PB" moments, hit the off nights. Say no to Fri/Sat nights. Cool setup, LOTS of TV's and fairly hot women. Good place for "asiaphiles" ;-)
Marcus MillerSeptember 30, 2013Loaded tater tots are awesome, and so is the "tee shirt and a drink for $12" they have every day!
BrandyJune 20, 2012June sun exposure starts at 2:30pm on the patio. Get there early, this placd fills up. The staff is super sweet!
- joe bobJune 7, 2012Why go to the douchiest place in North Park when there are dozens of cooler places within walking distance? Hell, just go to Bar Pink next door.
Jason CopelandApril 20, 2013Food is excellent (they share the same kitchen with Urban Solace next door). Isn't so bad during the day, but the popped collars come out at night. Drinks are decent, about average price.
Swagnificent MorganAugust 27, 2011The hummus and flat bread appetizer is great! Its a must try and don't forget to ask for extra flat bread.
David is the best bartender here! Ask for him....and tip him well ;) He'll earn it!
Freda MoonDecember 23, 2012The place for Sunday football. Lots of jersey-wearing dudes and big screen tvs.
Only douchebags say this place isn't for locals. If you aren't a cheap tipping dick muncher, great service! Also great tots.
Really digging the CU-BANH MI.. Nice take on the Cubano.
Ann AOctober 11, 2011Great place to watch Monday Night Football! Drink specials all night long and not overly crowded.
Hailey CutlipFebruary 3, 2011The broiled portobello sandwich is to die for! Nice open place with TVs everywhere!
the chicken caesar salad was delish! the bloody mary's are legit too
- Kirsten JensenAugust 17, 2010I like this place. Great food , lots of room to move around, nice back patio.
- Get the Widmer Brothers Rotater IPA - it goes good with the tots!
Amazing bartenders n security staff. Uber fun music and videos. Luv this!- The tater tots beyond rock and the jengas have amazing dares! :)
The music is God-Awful sometimes, but the bartenders make it super worth it!! I <3 my hubby Neil!!!
Don't ask for them to put on a Padre game there. They will look at you like you're crazy.
Carlos De LeonMay 14, 2010They use an ID verification system called IDScan that takes a picture of your whole ID & stores it indefinetly. If you care about privacy and/or are paranoid beware.
James EllisMarch 17, 2010Ask for the special menu item when you want to eat. Not on the menu and always good.
Great garden burger. The tater tots are a great compliment.
Juan CarmonaOctober 2, 2010Pugas mom still cleans stalls #2 and #3 in the boys bathroom.... Dont b a dick, Leave HER a tip:)
Becker BeckerJanuary 1, 2012Confiscated my noise makers for New Years! What a bunch of jabroni-sauces!
