The definition of a dive bar . Dim lighting , corner jukebox , quartered pool tables and hot pretzel / quesadillas for sale if your lucky. The beer selection is great and the prices are as good as they get. The bartenders are friendly, but not too friendly, and they’re always locals . It’s s great go to for after work or before a night out . You won’t find anything you aren’t looking for here but you’ll find exactly what you’d expect . If you like a classic no frills dive this is the spot for you . Pro tip : 100 feet up the street there is a taco shop to end all taco shops called Oscars . Get a fresh fish taco here with some hot salsa and wash it down with a cheap local beer after .

Awesome brunch spot! Food came out fast & delicious! Honestly avoided this spot at first because it seemed super fancy & expensive— but the menu & vibe is very approachable, and you get an excellent value for awesome food. Coffee was surprisingly rich & really good! (*Not* watered down diner coffee) Beautiful waterfront view of Torrey State Reserve area! Definitely will be back!

Awesome watering hole! Great group of regulars that go there. Billiards, darts & golden tee. Lots of tv's to watch the games, 1 big screen. That is close to the outdoor patio which seats a fairly large number of people, great for the occasions that you may be coming in with a large group. Staff is all super friendly, patient, and willing to help with any and all needs or questions you may have!

One of the best Dive bars in San Diego!♤♡ Visited the West End on Friday after dealing with the DMV to decompress and it's still the best place to go have a Guinness. Kiki was the bartender, might have the wrong name, but she was an awesome young lady, met 2 very cool gentlemen which is usually the norm. Been going there for about 25 years and still has the same cool vibe. Love it.

  • I SAID WHAT I SAID with MIKE DIAMOND

It's a dive bar. If that's what you're looking for that's what you'll get. A motorcycle gang took up half of the bar when I was there. The only thing that saved my experience was the partender who was cool as hell. Her name was Nicole. She also remembered my name by the end of the night which got her extra points. More

  • Audrey Edney

We came in with a large group, about 45, with a short notice, totally my bad, but they handled it in stride and worked with us. One of my favorite bars in SD. Friendly bartenders, great vibe, pool tables, darts, good, cheap drinks! If a dive bar is your thing, this place is for you!

  • jeff chew

Spacious local bar with pool tables and soft tipped dart boards. Fast, friendly service makes this place a winner. An internet connected juke box adds to the ambiance. Free WiFi is available to keep you connected. There's even food to help soak up your drinks.

  • Yi Chiang

It’s what you came for! It’s a dive bar/ it’s a hangout/ it’s got pool tables. There’s usually a good crowd hanging around if you want to mingle. They have non alcoholic beer here too if you’re into that type of stuff

Good atmosphere and good customer service it's right outside the club area. Great local bar if you're not trying to be in the club seen. Only but 20 to 20 per person because beers are 5 each and who doesn't stay for at least 4 drinks lol More

  • K R

The owner, number one in my book.the people that are there and regulars make you feel like you're at home. And the Monday night pool tournament is off the chain

  • Meredith Manning

It does get a little rowdy when there's more younger people than older, but it's overall a great place to be. All the bartenders are friendly and welcoming with classic bitter humor. I can't wait to go back!

  • Falcone Klimpt

This place blows. Or maybe it's the coked out locals who play pool here and threaten you with violence when you beat them. HAHA. Don't go here unless you're looking for trouble and bad times.

  • Cathy Keim

Ordered a vodka and cranberry juice but the cranberry juice was not fresh juice, it tasted like a cheap mix. The female bartender was very pleasant and courteous. Nice outdoor covered patio.

  • Christopher Gorrie

A cool little dive bar at the north end of Pacific Beach. They have a couple pool tables, a decent selection of beer, quite a bit of liquor, and a friendly staff. Not too much more to say!

  • MH Lizerbram A Williams Co.

A long term establishment, mainly a more mature crowd. It an old fashioned bar, in a residential area. Some simple food is served. Did not examine a menu. Not suitable for young families.

  • Jerome Cooper

This is a great place to hangout and enjoy a brew. Lot of locals hangout frequently and the servers are all amazing. I highly recommend checking out this venue if you are in the area.

  • Richard Valentine

Good spot for a late night beer with a dive bar type vibe. They have pool and darts. Seemed mostly locals who are frequent visitors and everyone was friendly enough.

  • Jose C. (Ricky)

Laidback atmosphere, great service, and reasonable prices. Only downside to this little dive is that they don't have the guy with the hot dogs outside anymore.

  • lynae vander ploeg

Awesome little local "dive" bar. Grab some tacos from Oscar's next door, shoot some pool, and enjoy some stiff cocktails. An old locals spot.

  • jeff

It's not really in London, but everyone inside will talk with a funny accent, and if you get drunk enough you can forget where you are.
