Alyssa was so great!! Bar service and food 10/10! She recommended the Tavern Sliders and they were so so good!

I went here alone. The two servers running the bar were amazing and attentive. I had their brisket grilled cheese and holy cow it was stunning. I don't usually eat meat at gastritis and this was superb. Sadly I also saw other patrons test them poorly and try took it all in stride. I tried to leave a tip to compensate and they were so kind. Seriously. This place is opposite the corner of the Melting Pot and I'll visit here every time I come to the Gaslamp Quarter. It was an amazing "corner-in-the-wall" and they deserve your business. read more

The bartender was a dousche. Condescending like he was on a pedestal. We decided to pop in after lunch and watch the padre game. We left after one beer. Too bad as we probably would have had a few more. We will be back in 2 weeks for 3 weeks and will not be going here. Peace. Thank you for responding Richard. Sunday May 17th at approximately 5pm. It was Mohawk guy. read more

3.5 stars! Pretty nice little spot located within Gaslamp. They have a strong selection of beer and some pretty decent grub. This place has a great TV selection for watching the game and the servers/bartender was hustling! read more

First of all, the food is amazing, actually a lot better than we expected. It was a five out of a five we asked for well-done french fries, if you look at the picture, they were well done. They were beautiful. So overall, Food qualities 5+. And this is kind of a bar place, unexpected, but perfect. The atmosphere is exactly what you expected. A bar or a tavern. Nice bar great bartender nice atmosphere half between a regular tavern and a sports bar in downtown San Diego gaslight District. Service was excellent, it was our bartender, His name was Kalek ! read more

We didnt get food but while in Gaslamp we wanted to get a drink after a Padres game without having to deal with the young college crowd and/or pay cover fees. Great place for a post game beer and cocktails. Bartender was awesome and friendly. Will definitely be back again. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I've been in here a couple of times before Padres games. It's your typical Gaslamp bar. They (obviously) don't have their own parking lot. They always have a drink special(s). The staff are always friendly. My only comment (not even complaint) is that the place looks just a touch worn, but that's not surprising considering the traffic they get being in the Gaslamp. I really like the outdoor area they have that overlooks the street. read more

Gaslamp Tavern - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

I watched the USA beat Bosnia Herzegovina! Besides the hard fought win, the bar had immaculate vibes and plenty of screens to watch the action. We had a phenomenal time and Alyssa saw to our every need. If there's a game you need to see and fans to celebrate with, go to Gaslamp tavern. ​The food was fantastic, we really enjoyed enjoyed the pretzel and the sliders!! read more

Cute little selection of food and beers but Damn the bartender Alyssa gotta take a hit or something before she start her shift, literally sat down at the bar not more than 30 seconds and she yells "food drinks or both ???" Um probably both but one of us may not drink, not sure yet... "ok well you have to be 21 to hit at a bar...I need some IDS". Like babe I'm 26 my mans 30 I bartended for a long time ik I can't hit here if I'm a Minor and trust I don't look 26 but I don't look 14 either. we ordered my man's drink and I decided on a drink, she goes "oh so you are drinking then because you said you didn't know". Like ok I'm sorry I had time to look at the menu for 4 seconds while you were squinting at my ID. She said "ok close or keep it open then?" Um we'll close but we're still going to get food?? She didn't say a word, brought our ticket and no sorry after working years in service I know when to tip I hope you're night gets better Alyssa. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Had a great experience here the service was top-tier. Alysa was an awesome server: super kind, accommodating, and went out of her way to make sure I was good. I sat at the bar with my dog, and she even brought out a water bowl for him without me asking. Little touches like that go a long way. Definitely recommend this spot especially the brisket grilled cheese. That thing was bomb. read more

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. read more

We didn't have a good experience here. My husband wanted a beer after walking around the city all day. We sat at the bar and he decided on a hazy IPA. Bartender went to get it and came back with two. Husband said he only wanted one and that I was ordering something else. Bartender was super annoyed - made a dramatic show of taking the extra beer and putting it in their refrigerator. He came back, my husband apologized for the misunderstanding, and I asked for a Pinot Grigio. He brought it over and my husband again apologized. The guy muttered, "it happens." Husband said we would be paying cash and paid. Bartender grabbed the menus away from us while my husband's wallet sat on top of them. We felt entirely unwelcome. The bartender should have apologized for bringing the extra beer, not us. Why would he assume that I wanted the same thing as my husband? He didn't ask me for my order. Nor did he ask if we wanted to order some food. There are plenty of places in this area to choose besides this place. We will not go here again. read more

While walking to Petco Park, we saw this place and decided to stop for a cold pint. Great service and happy hour pricing was nice, but being out of any stouts listed on the menu wasn't. Instead, I got a Cali Creamin' Nitro on tap which was good. Probably the most sticky bar top I've ever experienced, and that is saying a lot considering the amount of dive bars I've been in over the years. Also with my knees I'm not a big fan of having to climb a flight of stairs to get to bathrooms, but I had to go up to wash my hands/arms after coming in contact with the glue-like bar top. read more

Gaslamp Tavern - All Day Specials Menu 6/10/2024 - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

This tavern is located in downtown San Diego. They have metered street parking and commercial lots nearby. There is bar seating available inside and they have a relatively small dining area. The place is two levels, but the second floor only has the restrooms and a small lounge/waiting area. There is also a nice patio here with seating that over looks the sidewalk and the bar, which has windows that can be opened up. We came here to watch the game and eat lunch since they have a ton of televisions. I do not know if this is a thing here or they were just short handed during my visit, but they do not have table service. We had to find a table then go up to the bar to place our orders. They serve typical pub food including fish, chicken, burgers, salads and sandwiches. I ordered the Inferno Burger with tots. It took about 12 minutes to get my food. The burger was hot, fresh and delicious. The tots were pretty good, but some of them were overcooked. The portions are huge and everyone in my group was very satisfied with their lunch too. The staff just did their job. They were not rude and not overly nice. They were just down the middle. One issue that I have was that all the windows and door were open in the tavern and it was a chilly day. I would say in the 40s, which made the inside of the place very cool. It was not unbearable, but was noticeable. This place has some savory food and drinks and is the place to be if you want to watch the big game, which ever game that is for you. read more

First timer and have to say it was a great experience. We went to watch UFC fight #318 and sat upstairs. Alyssa and Karen tended to us and were absolutely amazing!

Gaslamp Tavern - Salt & Pepper wings, made fresh in house, no frozen bs. Come in on Wednesday where they are on Special! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Outside ambience is super cool. The bartenders are not super attentive. You kind of have to flag them down and it wasn't really that busy. The food was just OK. We ordered chicken fingers and the rub on them was more like a creole rub. Not my favorite! But the bone in wings if you get them dry, you can get your dipping sauce on the side which made them super delicious. They were extremely juicy and a good size wing for the price. The fries were gross! The young bar back PARIS was most helpful as we sat at the bar. Go PARIS!! I'll come back because of this extraordinary young man!! read more

This Tavern was located about a 5 minute walk from my hotel. Loved the openess of both the inside seating area with ample TVs with sports and family guy, and the fact you can pull up to the bar from the outside. I was unsure what to get as this was my first meal after the San Diego Half. The bartender promptly greeted me and advised me on what might be good. I was between the flatbread and tots. He said if I was hungry the tots. He wasn't joking. You can tell from the picture it was a ton of food. As a true potato addict I was happy. I will say there was something within the flavor I didn't love. Something about the Marinara just didn't work for me. However, id even give these another try as maybe my taste was off from being tired lol. I will say the California Rhubarb Mule was incredible, and it was near impossible to not order another. Plus, my diet soda was never empty, which I always give props for as a bar setting can be busy and chaotic. Give this spot a try. I can only imagine the atmosphere on Padres games or during football season. read more

We came here after having a rough experience with some of our accomodations and this spot might've been the highlight of our food choices.

Needed someplace quick to grab a bit to eat near our hotel. Service was poor. Bartender barely looked at us and seemed like he didn't want to be there.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. They make you buy a drink to use the restroom and when you do buy the drink, they end up kicking you out after ten minutes anyways. Security guard was on a power trip and it was insane to see their bartender defend the loser. Do not support this place , staff is rude as hell and doesn't deserve to be in business. read more
