    I'm bummed. After seeing the reviews I was super excited. The gravy on Grandmas Meatballs was cold, the meatballs have excellent flavor but the crostini was burnt. The Guido Poutine is cold, soggy French fries and a puddle of water under them. I was a bit concerned when the food came out super quick and this is why. Update: The owner came out and apologized and cut our bill in half. I think the place will be awesome once the kinks are worked out. The flavors were definitely there. I'll definitely try it again next time I'm in town.

    Cute sports bar with great vibes and good food in Little Italy! Their french fries are phenomenal. The cheesesteak was also great, and the burger was decent. It is open seating, and can get a bit crowded especially when there's a big game on, but we were able to snag a table that had just emptied right when we arrived. I'll certainly be back!

    Wings
    Alec P.

    I don't make reviews often, but Bar One knocks my socks off every single time I go. I have been living in the downtown/Little Italy area for years, and this place is an absolute staple of mine. The boys and I can come any time, any day, and the food, service, and drinks always hit every damn time. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I figured, let me try the wings for once. I've been coming here for years and never had them. If you're on the fence of getting the wings, DO IT. The wings tossed in Daygo sauce are some of the best wings I've had in the area. I want to give an honorable mention to the beer/shot combo they offer. Nothing beats a Pacifico and a tequila shot on the sidewalk with your crew, watching the Padres game from the outdoor TVs. I'd also like to shout out the quesadilla - do it with crispy chicken, also tossed in Daygo sauce (this is my secret weapon of an order). The fajita bowl is also a certified slapper. But if you're looking for something light, the BBQ chicken sliders are solid. I could go on and on, but figured it was time for me to give Bar One their flowers Trust your gut when you order. It's going to be good regardless. Thank you Bar One for being who you are. Never change.

    Fried ravioli

    Great bar scene with outdoor seating. It was seat yourself and someone came right over. We were there for a drink and snack. The waitstaff was very friendly and suggested the fried ravioli which was so good and the red sauce it was served with was so flavorful.

    Chicken tenders and fries
    Catherine M.

    I really liked this place, they have both indoor and outdoor seating with tvs outside. Service was great and quick. A good amount of beers on draft. The chicken tenders and fries were bomb. Very solid chicken tenders.

    This little Italy bar has a long bar, high tables and several tvs to watch your favorite sporting match. We sat at the bar and the bartenders grabbed our drink order. They made a grey goose martini with a twist. They ran out of martini glasses or didn't have a martini glass so they served the drink in a standard cup. That's odd but the drink was absolutely deliciously made. Their scotch selection was very good. They offered a large ice cube for the scotch which is nice. Overall, the bar was very good and welcoming but prices are just a bit high. Parking is always an issue. If we are in the area walking around, we would return for a drink.

    We came here for late night snacks and drinks. I liked the fact that it was open later than most places. The food is average as I can't think of anything to rave about. We had the meatballs and crab dip with tortilla chips.

    Tequila and Pacifico easy day!

    Bar One is located in Little Italy off India Street, providing the community with awesome food and cold drinks. This is the spot to go to for a great time with family and friends to take some stress off from a busy work day or just to enjoy some sports playing on multiple Tvs inside. The ambiance inside is modern and trendy, and the customer service that they provide is second to none! One of my favorite things about this bar is that they have patio seating outside of India st with multiple tables and chairs with umbrellas protecting you from that lovely San Diego Sun shine. They have multiple beers on draft, and the menu is always changing. The menu is written on a chalkboard with the brewery and make of the beer, and they also provide the alcohol content. They usually have great specials for a shot and beer that you can't beat in the neighborhood. Overall, Bar One is a superb bar for the family, and kids are also welcome but are not allowed to sit at the bar. They make a mean Shirley temple as well, and dogs are also welcome.

    What time is happy hour?

    3-7pm!

    It's hard to tell from the pictures. Is this place big enough to accommodate 40'ish?

    Absolutely! It would probably require a “buyout” for the time you and your party would like but we can accommodate! Just give us a call and ask for a manager to help coordinate. Thank you for your question and hope to hear from you soon!

The SERVICE 4/5 stars. Our server was truly amazing. She deserved the 5/5. Great recommendations, super genuine and fun, had the best energy and was CONSTANTLY checking in on us; however, a couple of the other workers could have been a little bit more open with communication. We were sitting against the window at the high top wraparound bar tables (feels like an extension of the bar), so the bar is easy to order from and was our go to as soon as we arrived. The bartender took our order, but was standoffish as if we were doing something foreign or a big "no no". Finally the server in charge of our area told us that the bartenders are in charge of the bar and there are other servers for all the other tables/zones. If we were told that from the beginning, we would have made sure to follow the order of the place and order from the correct server. A few of us truly felt bad, but now we know when we go in next time what to expect. Barleymash is always a great time, so we always want to make sure we are doing it right! I truly recommend sitting anywhere else but that window/wall on a packed night, but sometimes you have to deal with what you are lucky enough to get!

Our bartender Mike was great, and may Mai Thai ($14) defiantly did what it needed to do. It was sweet, strong and served with the cutest bear-shaped glass with a beautiful purple flower on top. One drink had a girl feeling tipsy. We ordered from the late-night "midnight Bites" menu, which was the only thing we could choose from at the hour of our visit. Everything we selected was really good. Wed got the Frito Pie ($12), Chicken thigh tenders ($7), and Tots ($7). The frito pie presentation was my second favorite part (after the bear glass drink), It came in a all-clad style bowl with the chip bag cut open inside, loaded with Texas-style chilli, melted nacho cheese, and shredded cheese. It was so good I even started adding tots in there too. The tots and Thigh tenders had the perfect crisp! They have sweet and sour chili sauce for dipping with the chicken which was fab! The retro decor made the place even better. I loved seeing the old Blockbuster VHS tapes and music cassettes displayed around the bar. My little eye also spot the Dallas Cowboys flag! Texas energy is definitely in the house. There's also a small arcade area in the back, and my eyes instantly lit up seeing PAC-Man. We didn't get to fully explore the game room because we were trying to make it to Ghirardelli Ice cream & Chocolate shop for dessert before they closed at midnight too. Thankfully everything worked out perfectly since our car was parked right in front of Ghirardelli. NO military discount was honored here even though the owner is a veteran, but overall I still had a really good experience and would definitely come back whenever I'm in the Gaslamp district in SD, Cali. (Oops posted it on a smoke shop in Texas. This review was meant to be shared here) Update: Response to owner: Joe V. That was the best response from any owner I have ever received!!! I love that you mentioned yall haven't been mistaken for a smoke shop in Texas, that Mai Thai last mea bit. Yes sir I reckon it did.

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness!
