Service was super friendly just like our first time there. We got a couple beers and they let us try them before committing to a glass which was nice. Was also able to order a patty for our dog. They didn't add any salt and cut it up into smaller pieces for us. They charged it as a side patty (~$6). They don't have a dedicated dog menu.

My name is Bassel. I will talk. I prefer heavy drinks and not beers. Beers consume too much space in my stomach, and from the surgery I had, I can't use it all. I prefer heavier drinks because without the slow trance, I do not feel like I weigh an extra 40lb. I drink Guinness here and this is why I CHOSE this pub. It is hard to find it served anywhere. If you want to see me drink through heavy drinks and be the most stable guy ever with amazing charisma, come to this bar. It's called Irish Tavern.

It's not fancy and I don't want it to be. It's technically a British pub and I love that as well. The staff are the same sweet folks and the owner is always at the bar and chatting with us regulars. Come on down - get a pint and check out Friday fish fry night! Oh and the pot pies - you can take home frozen ones. Yes please! Oh I should mention this is a spot for football fans (soccer for yanks). :)

For dinner I ordered the tri-tip sando. It was excellent but the chimichurri was a bit too strong so I wasn't able to taste much of anything else...the hubs liked it more than I did. The hubs ordered the Pig burger. Two patties...one beef and one pork with bacon jam, white cheddar and bread/butter pickles. The patties were cooked perfectly and the sweet bacon jam was a perfect addition (I'll be ordering this next visit) Both sandwiches came with thin sliced fries. We sat at the bar and Sean was again our server...very attentive and friendly!

The old Good Guys tavern was sold and morphed into this new place. Let's just say I miss Good Guys…read moregreatly. When they first opened under the new name, the place had super bright lighting. Really it was weird, like medical operating room brightness...They ended up shading the lights and painted the walls dark?? Better, appropriate ambience. It's a lot more modern and cleaner than ever though. Well, so they call it a taphouse now. Which means they are a craft beer bar. With less than average beer selection on tap for a taphouse in my opinion. They do have a large can selection that pushes them up a star. Many one-off beers and smoothie styles which can be difficult to obtain. There's only one person working the bar, which has always been a friendly female. Which is appropriate for the 90% male clientele. You gotta figure this works everywhere. Take it from someone who knows, as I worked as a bartender and barback for many years. Serving beer is one thing, but it's tough getting a male bartending job in general. The selection could be better. However, the problem I have with this place is the exorbitant prices of the draft beers. This is considering the area, which is on Broadway in Lemon Grove. I mean we are talking 9 and 10$ beers here. For example, Frank the Dank- a double IPA is 10$ here. And I know where I can get these for $5 a pint... and I'm not telling where either! Actually if you do really read my reviews, this information will be eventually leaked out if it already hasn't been.. But yeah I'm sorry, but this why you are empty 80% of the time. Who can afford this in this permanently depressed area/neighborhood? The working men of course, who aren't ready to go home and deal with that nagging significant other..

My biggest complaint would be the prices. I paid $10 for a pint of Two Towns cider, and $15 for a 19oz can of Boochcraft. The staff is always very friendly, and happy to help with beverage selection. With this being the only real craft beer option in Lemon Grove, it's a good stop, it's just going to cost you a little more.
