    Had no idea this is a dedicated Eagles bar, but thank goodness we weren't rooting for the opposition when we wandered into this space full of kelly green and organized rounds of "Fly, Eagles Fly!" at every commercial break! Note: the loyalty is so strong that despite multiple TVs, NO OTHER GAME will be shown when Philadelphia is playing. While awesome for the fandom, it's not ideal for a neutral observer. Order at the bar, and your food will be brought to your table when it's ready. As you might expect, Philly cheesesteaks are the right call here - our Aristocrat Cheesesteak (rib eye steak, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, provolone cheese, served on an Amoroso roll) was hearty enough to split in two since we were only snacking rather than looking for a full meal, and very tasty. Unfortunately, our Mini Churros were served without the advertised cajeta (Mexican-style caramel) with no explanation. It was only when we ourselves brought it up that we were then told the kitchen was out. To Goodbar's credit, they did remove the churros from our bill as we wouldn't have ordered them had we known beforehand.

    I had just finished attending an event, and they had these little appetizers. I didn't want to gorge myself because than people would talk...LOL! So I was still hungry, and since I was in the area, my first thought was the Goodbar Kitchen! I was lucky to get a space in their shared parking lot. I ordered the Goodburger with bacon, and it came with fries. This is a good burger! It really hit the spot! Friendly service! So glad there are places like this to grab some good food!

    This is a good cheap option in the area especially during happy hour. The food is just okay, but good for a happy hour price of less than ten dollars. The service was good and helpful. It's a good bar for live music, trivia and catching a game.

    Went here for the ASU Baylor game... WHAT A NIGHT!!! We used to go to The Local downtown to watch ASU but wanted to go somewhere more cost effective and are incredibly happy for that decision. Awesome friendly and fun bartender, we got there right before kickoff and he immediately turned the volume on. We sat at the bar and more fans started to trickle in. During halftime we went over to a table of fans and started chatting.. turns out one of the guys is an ASU legend!!!!! He made the game winning interception against Harbaugh in the 1987 rose bowl, is really nice, and let me wear his ring and take pictures! I guess that's not a direct review of Goodbar but it speaks to the crowd they attract. The ambiance is great, you can order food at the bar and their food truck is just outside. It's also an Eagles bar so if you're an Eagles fan this is the spot.

    Burger was sooo good! Its also on their happy hour menu and comes with fries!

    I actually really like this bar. Was my first time here. Place is small but quaint. I will say that Britney was a sweetheart. She's a good bartender. Service was good, food was very good. Just great place and great bar overall! They have a really good happy hour. If you're outside and you go up to the food truck and you're attempting to order food thats on their happy hour menu you won't get the same price as if you order inside when you do the happy hour options for food. Just a word of advice. Parking is the only I'd day that is going to be a small pain. But this place is worth visiting.

    TL;DR: inattentive and understaffed. Servers tried their best but couldn't keep up with the dinner rush. Was budgeting an hour for our meal. Ended up staying for 2.5 because we couldn't get food fast enough Took 30 min just to get our order in and because of that, we missed the end of happy hour. Really disappointing how service isn't staffed accordingly. The food is above average for a food truck/parking lot kitchen...which isn't saying too much. Ordered: - Goodbar burger (2.5/5): average. Nothing special - Chicken burger (4/5): caught off guard by this one. Far better than the regular burger. Good deals on drinks if you can catch the waitstaff before HH ends... Anyway, might be back for the drinks and to hang with locals and listen to live band. Won't be back for the food or service.

    Welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order?? Throwback to my 90s people. All joking aside, my wife took me here for a Yelp event, so I wanted to try their burger for myself. This little bar in Point Loma has a very small parking lot that it shares with a few other stores. Good luck finding parking! We came here around 2pm on a weekday and there was plenty of seating. Around 10 seats at the bar and maybe 10 small tables. The bartender/waitress seated us and took our orders. She was very friendly and checked on us regularly. They have a happy hour menu but it's only from 12-6p for beers and 2-6pm for food. They don't have a kitchen inside the bar, just a bar and bathroom. They do their cooking outside via a food truck. Food came out quickly, but we were only 2 of 7 people in the place. The burger was a little too charred, but overall it was tasty. It wasn't a great burger, but it was definitely a good one. The fries were a mix of soggy and crispy. For the price we paid, I can't complain. It's definitely a good burger for the price. I would recommend this place.

    Food Don't seek yourself short, Good Bar, you are a great bar! The food was delicious for a bar. The burger was juicy and cooked to medium rare, how I prefer. The cheesesteak was packed with meat that it masked the onions! The fries were well seasoned and crispy. No complaints here. The best part is their happy hour! It goes on from 12p-6p, even on weekends. The Pilsner was strong for what it is but still smooth. I'd say the draft menu was small though and majority pale ales. The well drinks were great as well! Service Bartender was very welcoming and nice. She greeted up promptly and had our drinks out quick! She even checked up on us to see if we needed any refills and to pick up our empty plates! Atmosphere Quaint corner spot in Point Loma. Chill vibes, even during Saturday happy hour. Clean tables, plenty of different games going on the television. Music is not too loud. They host events like trivia and karaoke.

    Cool bar away from the hustle and bustle of Liberty Square. The service is friendly and quick. You can sit at the bar in the back where a lot of locals do. There are also bar tops and table seating. The stage is small and they offer a variety of entertainment. When we went, there wasn't a cover charge. We ordered the hamburger and it was really good. The kitchen is a food truck in the parking lot, but you order through your wait staff and it is delivered to your table. It's located in a small strip mall with parking. It lives up to its name - a good bar!

    Stopped by on a weekday early evening... honestly didn't realize it was an actual bar n it was getting pretty busy inside lol, we just came for the food! Haha. The food truck is situated right in front of the bar, and there are several tables outside. Obviously very casual dining. We ordered at the truck window and our food was ready in about 15 minutes. We were seated at one of the tables and they were nice enough to go out of the way to bring the food and condiments out to us. Overall the food was good, fresh, and filling. Amongst other things, I ordered a salad and it was plated so nicely! Hmm what more can I say about the food? The chicken strips were large pcs and juicy. Fries were seasoned well and crispy. Wings were typical.. burger/philly were satisfying. Limited parking.

I loved the stained glass lights at the booths we sat at, they were super cute! We played foosball for a dollar which was fun while it lasted but it didn't give us enough balls to play an entire game. It's been pretty hot in sd and this place has a lot of large open windows that were all open, I usually love that feature but it was an abnormally humid night so we were all pretty hot and sweaty inside. Food was good with affordable prices too, we came here quite late at night, so we were limited to only their late-night menu, but everything was quite tasty, typical bar food. Our standout favorite was the maple sriracha wings for $10.61, their flavor is exactly like described and was a good balance of sweet and spicy! The Butter Burger $10.57 was good too but I think too rich and heavy for me. The prices were great tho! Parking is pretty terrible as is typical for downtown, but we walked from Punch Bowl Social and had Ubered to there at the beginning of the night. ---- Overall: a cool place to hangout, drink, and grab a bite late at night, I'm sad about not being able to play a whole game of foosball, but a generally great time

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. I am so lucky because these people didn't pay their deposit and we got the time and the lane.

    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! Live long and prosper. End log. Captain 619
