    Tavern infierno fries
    Claire J.

    We stopped by for some food & drinks and to watch the game on a Thursday evening, and to our surprise it was not busy! The Nashville wings were awesome, the dry rub had a greatttt flavor and they were cooked perfectly. 10/10! We also ordered the infierno fries, which were delicious as well. The pieces of friend chicken were really tiny but there were a good amount of them in there. We ordered the old fashioneds which were good & classic. The bartenders were overall nice. I love the high ceilings and the elevated sports bar vibe. We'd definitely return for the wings!

    Great bar right in the heart of Gaslamp!!!! Husband and I stopped here to get some food in our system before a night of drinks with friends. Service was decent - it was very busy. The door guy or security guy was a little rude. He checked out IDs and my husband had to step out really quick for a phone call.. when he came back in he asked if the security needs to check his ID again ( since he was just inside) the security responded with " don't try to play me bro"--- not sure what's he was on but my husband was very confused..he was just asking a question. Lots of tvs to watch sports games.this is a very loud sporty type bar-- but super fun.

    Nice bar in the gaslamp area, they have a good selection of non-alcoholic brews, and the food looks amazing although I can't Recommend it since I didn't try it. Restrooms stairs,, big screen, TVs, and really nice to sit at the bar area at the street level .

    Mozzarella sticks

    My wife are in San Diego and we were looking for a place to eat and saw Gaslamp on Yelp so decided to give it a try. The restaurant wasn't very busy so we were waited on right away. My wife ordered a vodka and I ordered a pitcher of beer. The bartender told me he could not sell me a pitcher because I was the only one drinking it ( California is weird). I usually don't drink it all but it's always a better value than individual pints. My wife ordered tacos and I ordered a chicken sandwich. We also had mozzarella sticks as a. Appetizer. Her tacos were good, chicken sandwich was a g, mozzarella sticks were actually really good. I gave a 4, borderline 3. Reason maybe a 3 is there were about 4 people drunk and being very loud and obnoxious. I also think they were vaping weed as every few minutes we had a huge aroma of marijuana. We don't care what you do but don't do it where it reeks in the bar. We would probably give Gaslamp another shot if we were in town again.

    Gaslamp Tavern serves up hearty eats in a tavern style wood planked homey restaurant. delicious chicken sliders, finger lickin' good! on the smaller side but plenty of seating. bathroom is on the second floor.

    The soda gun doesn't work so the fruit flies hang out here on these soda cans they use when I ordered my vodka diet ...

    So I've been to Gas Lamp before and loved the area today it feels touristy and a bit unkept and now I wish John Taffer was sitting in a van across the street bc this is appalling to me. Like dirty sticky fruit flies every where I ordered a Tito's Diet Coke lemon, I got no lemon and I'm positive the Tito's is not Tito's .... EWWW anyways it's gross I wish it was better bc the menu had promise with a big hot pretzel with cheese and tots covered in brisket and cheese they should update their website to say it's on the menu but we don't have it and we're not sorry bc the bars sticky and I'm annoyed you asked me to wipe it... just ewww don't waste your time. Oh yeah they don't have a soda gun just some pop cans sitting open by the fruit flies...

    Their Cana asada nachos

    The service was great and I really liked the atmosphere, but the food was disappointing. I paid $24 for a dish I could barely eat. It had almost no flavor, the meat--although nicely charred--was extremely dry and lacked seasoning, and the chips crumbled into dust. Overall, the meal just wasn't good. Also, it had this weird fishy smell too. Would recommend just drinking.

    Salt N' Pepper Wings
    Savona L.

    I absolutely love this place! The bartenders, music, food and drinks! I got the Salt N' Pepper wings and pretzel bites. (The wings come with about ~10 and the pretzels are ~12) I apologize for the half eaten food in the picture but it was just that damn good!!! I couldn't wait at all lol! The ranch and blue cheese is bomb for any of the food. I tried this place many times and it literally never disappoints. I'm still thinking about it... WHEW

    The entrance is swarmed with flies, a TON. Came here during a weekday and it was quite empty with soccer on the tvs. They were out of bloody mary mix and when I asked if they had sour mix the bartender wasn't sure. Bartender didn't make any conversation. Wasn't a super cool experience, wouldn't call this a must visit staple in Gaslamp.

    These wings were delicious

    It was a fun place . Outdoor feels good food and drinks . Daily specials were very good

    Pretzel was pretty good
    Frank P.

    I thought this was a Cub bar. I came in and the game wasn't on any of their TV's. I sat at the bar anyways and ordered a pretzel and an iced tea. The pretzel wasn't bad, and the spicy mustard and cheese sauce was good. The bar however was really sticky. It could use some serious cleaning. Next time I want to watch a ball game I'll pick someplace closer to Petco.

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.

I actually ended up calling the Tavern and Bowl to see if they had any earlier reservations and they told me if the person who requested an earlier time didn't pay the deposit I'd get the time slot.

    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!

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay.

I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.
