On Saturday night I was at this bar and there was karaoke. I got 2 beers, each costed $7, and I was asked to pay $21 or $10.50 each. I asked the reason, they told me that they charge entertainment fee! It’s ridiculous. Also the beers were small cans. In general I didn’t like the vibe here. So I definitely cannot recommend this place.

Came and visited this location on a Saturday night and it was so much fun! They have a huge open area outside for games, lounging, and drinking of course! Staff was very friendly and the place was surprisingly very nice. I think they had karaoke inside but I did not participate. Cool place to check out!

  • Steven Denke

Super fun bar with a great atmosphere. I was walking by here with some friends and immediately had to check out. We weren’t disappointed and glad to see a fun new outdoor bar space. Didn’t get to try the food but the drinks were solid. Great DJ and fun games around as well.

  • Andrew Kub

Fun atmosphere with yard games. Good food, beer abs cocktails. They have a large outdoors area I recommend sitting in. Fast service and friendly staff. It was really great to enjoy a few games of tic-tac-toe and Jenga with a beer while we wait for our food.

  • Aubri Bourge

Love the atmosphere! It has great potential. But they need a new Dj guy. There is no reason to play 2-3 video songs between every karaoke song! So weird. Never experienced that before. But the space is SO GOOD for karaoke if they get someone better!! More

  • p j

Only for karaoke. I came in Saturday evening slightly before 9p and put down 3 songs and only got called once. I saw 3 other people behind me in the rotation, yet they got called 3 times. I wasted 2 hours waiting for nothing. I will never be back again.

  • Eddie Rosas

Kj who wears flannels and thinks he can sing Spanish songs sucks. Threw away my song for no reason and had me waiting almost an hour for nothing. Get off your high horse, homie. edit: bartender is hella nice though, but eat a bag, kj guy More

I went here for a pajama party contest. I showed up, but no one else did. I should have won by default, but they were too cheap to give me my prize. They were also selling hot chocolates at half that day. The manager went behind my back and

I went there on Saturday to celebrate my friends elopement and I was super impressed with Jack the person who helped us manage our reservation. He was super professional and helpful and I was also super impressed with the DJ doing karaoke.

  • k i

Only for the Friday night karaoke. I was with a group and someone from my group who was behind me in the rotation got to sing one more song than I did before me after our group waiting for a VERY long time. I gave the KJ the benefit of the

if i could write a 0/5 star i would. chandler, the manager, came up to me and told me i wasn’t allowed to drink (even though i’ve only been drinking water) because i was “falling on myself” and tried taking off my 3 inch heels… never once

  • Melissa Caron

Server was super upbeat! Service was quick , cool place to grab a bite with games. Unfortunately was offered fires as if they were included with my meal then charged extra. Server asked for a card to hold onto but not to charge until our

  • Makayla Schneider

Such a fun karaoke bar unfortunately had an awful experience with the bar “manager” Chandler. He said I was falling over myself and could not stand even though it was just from me taking off my heels since I had blisters. When I asked to

Came here with my partner to San Diego for a week. We were walking by and Cailyn approached us at the gate as we were reading the menu and we truthfully were going to carry on and go elsewhere but she approached us… invited us in as she

  • Eric Rosas

Staff is super awesome & HAPPY to be there! Some of the best chicken tenders I have ever had in my life! The smiley face decor makes me so happy. Love the outdoor hangout and vibes on the turf! Great addition to the Gaslamp.

  • Kendra M

Like the vibe. Don't like the small print saying 4% will be added to every bill because they don't want you to see them raising prices. Also you should know they add an additional charge on game days

  • Shelby Pfeifer

Great bar except for the sneaky 4% fee they add onto your check to “offset increased costs” Management- don’t be deceptive to your patrons, increase your menu costs if needed

  • Claire Healy

I didn't eat anything, but had a few drinks. Patrons were diversed in terms of race and age. I stayed in the Karaoke section but had so much fun joining in the singing. More

  • Elijah Gonzalez

Great environment! Cool bar staff had a good music performer who kept the crowd entertained. Good place to go to hangout with a group or just to grab a cold one by yourself.

  • Dusty Jeffers

Do SOMETHING about the homeless crackheads.... good gawd... don't let them set up shop outside your restaurant. They scare kids and women away Most of them are cracked out

  • Beth

They are great in service, food, and drinks but they add a 4% charge in fine print. I don’t think most guests would notice and it felt deceptive.

  • lance meyer

Atmosphere is cool and staff are friendly. $17.50 for 5 "chicken strips" that are the size of my kid's chicken nuggets is a horrible deal. More
