    A group of us came here as we waited for others to arrive in the area for dinner. We each got a mixed drink. Total was $20 which isn't too bad. Forewarning the place is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM machine in there. There is also two pool tables and art on the wall that can be purchased. Overall, is a chill spot.

    If this is what a cool dive bar is...I just don't like dive bars at all. I have passed many times by the door as a have friends living just by the corner and never really wanted to take a look at what is inside just by seeing the outside sketchy people. Still, that photogenic facade (from the other side of the street, check my pic) convinced me to go and see what was chee-chee about (by the way, someone commented that chee-chee in Spanish means tits, at least in Spanish from Spain means vagina, so I actually initially thought that this some sort of strip club). Not recommendable for women (unless you are into this type of place). You actually won't see many. I would not say is unsafe, but if you have been taking a shower, put a nice dress, put perfume on, go to the salon to do your hair and your mani-pedi to go out on a Sat night, socialize and get a drink...well, your effort to beautify the nocturnal landscape with shock with the dramatic reality of urine smell at the door, toothless people asking you for something, people at the bus stop offering sexual favors, homeless drunk woman yelling 'i love your dress, bitch', a rat passing by all well fed...hell not even fun. Not even for the cheap drinks. I did not see any hipster as other comment, but only really old patrons, most people very drunk and all the above at the door. Again, if that is what I dive bar is...I like pretty, clean, light and positive. So won't come back and probably won't be missed either:)

    I thought this place was a strip club for at least the first six months I lived here. After stumbling in one drunk night I was pleasantly surprised. The dirty bar and giant brown stains on the pool table were made up by a simple conversation with the bartender that went something like this: Me: "do you have any specials?" Him: "yeah, we're the cheapest bar in San Diego" Me: "ok what's your well vodka?" Him: "shit." And then we got two PBR tall boys and two vodka drinks for $13. Will come here forever. Edit: I take back what I said - they have not one but two new pool tables. This place rules. Also I'm here right now and "lets get it on" is playing.

"Would I like to open a bar at 6 a.m. beside men who look like they know three different ways to lose a fishing boat?" "Should I buy a cheesesteak at Jersey Mike's and proudly eat it at the counter cuz the Fox can't be trusted with a fryer?" "Do I enjoy low inhibitions, lower beer prices, and conversations with cougars named Tammy who smoke Misty 120's and call everyone 'baby'?" Then the Silver Fox is not just a bar, it's a sanctuary for the gloriously untethered. Like a Robert Frost poem if Frost had chain-smoked cigarettes and played pool until sunrise. When you come to the fork in the road, and to the left lies reclaimed wood, Tulum inspired bars, and rosemary craft cocktails, and to the right lies the cold silence of your apartment. Dare to go straight. Straight into the Silver Fox, for one last five more beers.

What I truly appreciate is how inclusive it is; when they say "all are welcome," they genuinely mean it. You feel like part of the community the moment you step through the door, no matter who you are. The folks working behind the bar are absolute superstars. They're not just great at mixing up a delicious drink, but they're also super friendly and always up for a bit of banter. It's the kind of place where striking up a conversation with someone new at the bar is effortless. There's a constant buzz of friendly chatter and laughter, making it such a wonderful place to just relax and be yourself. And let's talk about value - they truly know how to pour a proper drink, and their prices are incredibly fair. You definitely get a fantastic drink without feeling like you've splurged. It's just an all-around great spot to unwind, meet some cool people, and enjoy a top-notch beverage in a relaxed, friendly setting. Highly recommend giving The Loft a visit!

Situated on 5th Avenue in beautiful Hillcrest, The Loft is a small, but mighty place that is near and dear to my heart for a variety of reasons.

The drinks are strong and well priced, which is not a combination you can find many places these days! They don't serve food, but they are fine if you want to bring your own, which many folks do. We have enjoyed a cocktail and UberEats'd something so we didn't have to leave. Overall, while I am not a San Diego local (yet), I consider The Loft my local spot. Love this place!

This place was exactly the vibe we were hoping to find. The second we walked in, I loved the vintage feel of the decor. It has that authentic old-school saloon energy that can't be manufactured. A genuine neighborhood watering hole with personality - a little worn in, full of character & packed with stories. One of the best parts of our visit was the bartender, who also happened to be the third-generation owner. He struck that perfect balance of being super friendly & welcoming without being all up in our business. You could tell he genuinely cared about the place & its history. He shared some great stories that made the experience feel personal. We settled in for some drinks & soaked up the atmosphere. The history of San Diego Old Town swirled around us as we enjoyed our time at the Old Town Saloon. Highly recommend.
