    This restaurant is inside the Gaylord Pacific resort. The food selection was typical for a sports bar. They have huge TV screens playing various sports. We only got appetizers, drinks and desserts. Our waitress, Asia, was very good. The app we selected was fried Brussels, which was okay. The drinks were pretty good. The dessert , again, was acceptable but nothing wowed me. But if you're staying at the resort, it's a good option as it's not as expensive as the other options and it's casual.

    First off, you can validate the first two hours of your parking, and there's plenty of it in the parking structure. It's a short walk to the sports bar. You check in right at the entrance and they ask you if you'd like a table, or sit at the bar. When walking in your jaw sort of drops when you see how large the TV screens are the NHL playoffs were on and it was so thrilling to watch on such a large screen! There's a pretty decent size menu and a nice amount of beers on draft. The food was a little pricey, but the quality was really good, and you have to keep in mind. You're at a resort. The staff were very helpful, delivering excellent customer service. After dinner, we walked around and checked out the resort. Can't wait to check out the pool sometime!

    First and foremost the service is very attentive, great place to watch live sports. Especially with World cup around the corner. Food is a variety of everything you love from a sports bar. Perfect to get multiple apps to share, Recommend the giant pretzel. And or the carne asada fries.The Philly cheese we had was great however if you don't like spice be careful as it has pickled jalapenos mixed in that can make it overwhelming if you are wanting a traditional Philly. Beer and Alcohol options are on point for those wanting to try various draft options or classic cocktails to quality signature drinks. Little bit of everything even for someone not wanting to drink. The outside patio with a beautiful view is a must as they also have heaters when it gets cold .

    Got curious with the newly opened Gaylord Resort. We went on Black Friday noon time, Growlers is the only restaurant opened on that day. Let's start with ambiance. They do have a giant TV monitor for different sports. This place is good for family, friends or even couples. Customer service is awesome. Everybody is friendly! They keep on checking on us. The food? It's American menu. Love the food! I ordered the cheese hotdog minus the chili (i dont eat chili). Im satisfied with it, cuz they toasted the bun. The loaded fries is not as good as the one from another sports bar restaurant. The cheese sauce has the "sour" from a sour cream taste. It's still good, cuz it's bacon is a canadian bacon, so it's lean meat. Overall experience, satisfied! We will surely return to this place.

    First the 76 foot sports screen is awesome. The bar is set up nicely with a nice patio as well. The staff is friendly. I ordered a craft beer from Chula Vista Brewery, it was nice and cold, light and refreshing. Also ordered the carne asada fries which were very good. The meat was juicy and cooked well, the fries crisp and all the cheese, sauce, pickled onions, etc... put it over the top. Way to much for just one person but I gave it a good shot. The Bartender was quick and attentive and he had a full bar. The waitress was pleasant when delivering the food that came out quickly. Overall it was as expected for a place of this caliber. Definitely will come back.

    Growlers is located inside the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center to the left of hotel registration. Very nice sports bar with giant screens filled with sports. The dining area is quite open with a lot of space in between tables so it doesn't feel crowded. Service was attentive and quick. Had drinks and a late night snack one evening there. Ordered a Bulleit rye old fashioned which was served with a giant clear ice cube. It was well-made but just wish it was filled up a tad higher for $18. For the appetizer we went with their half dozen chipotle honey citrus glaze chicken wings for $22. Bright citrus upfront, smoky heat on the finish. I would order 2 of these as my main next time! We shared their huge $26 angus beef burger which included a side of battered fries. This was their premium burger blend topped with smoked cheddar, served on a brioche bun with creamy guacamole, garlic aioli, caramelized beer onions, and fresh lettuce. Messy but delicious! They accept take phone togo orders so you have to walk in to place a takeout order. Growlers closes at midnight so plan accordingly if you stop by.

    This restaurant is located at the Gaylord Hotel, it has a beautiful setting as you walk in to the building lots of fine dining on the first floor, Jocelyn was an excellent waitress. The service was very good. Multiple people checked on me. The ambience here is definitely beer and sports themed. Also, this place is built for a large crowd. I tried the chicken wings, the southwest chicken salad, and banana pudding, it's definitely worth stopping by here

    Waygu Burger and Fries
    Keith W.

    I had a quick dinner bite. Service was very fast. We were in and out in about an hour. We were there before the rush. Plenty of screens and seats to watch any sports. I had the Waygu Burger which was delicious. Decent number of beers to choose from including some local fare. Decent for Pub Grub

    Growlers at the Gaylord Pacific Resort in Chula Vista ended up being a very welcome find during my stay. Dining options at the resort and nearby are admittedly limited, so I was genuinely thankful for this lively watering hole when the other choices were not really calling to me. I ordered a burger and it was delicious, simple, satisfying, and exactly what I wanted after a long day. The space is loud and energetic, and I felt completely dwarfed by the absolutely gigantic screens, which made it feel like dinner and a sporting event rolled into one. It is not quiet or subtle, but it is fun, filling, and a solid option when you want good food in a high energy setting.

    Wagyu burger - so good!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 What an epic wall of TVs! Feet upon feet of big screen TVs playing today's football games. It was truly a spectacle. Couple that with the delicious food and drinks, needless to say, we had a great time at Growler's. We had the fried shrimp basket, the wagyu burger, and the Southwest crispy chicken salad. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. The shrimp basket had 9 huge and crunchy fried shrimp with cole slaw and fries. The wagyu burger was perfectly prepared with the caramelized onions were a perfect addition. The dressing on the southwest salad had a little kick which I liked, but was too spicy for others at the table. The service was prompt and attentive despite the bar being pretty crowded. We will definitely be back to watch more games here!

    Bay far the most popular restaurant at the Gaylord. I am not drinking much so I can't speak to that quality but the food was mid+. We got the nacho fry things and the Caesar salad. The nacho fries were average plus. Cheese sauce, green onion, bacon. It did well being fancy for basic stuff. Wife's Caesar salad was remarkable. Fresh parm all over it. The beer chili was insanely good. Get a cup of that on the side. The venue is huge. 5 huge giant projector or tvs at the back. The patio has a dedicated bar, is also large and has a grass area below for kids to play.

    Kids chicken tendies and fries
    Courtney P.

    Our server was great, Noemi. Very attentive, even asked if I wanted more lemons when she refilled my water. All the TVs were great for sports watching. Food was 4/5. We got the buffalo wings, kids tenders and fries, southwest salad, and one of the burgers. The burgers bottom bun came out soggy from the sauce, sat too long before coming out to us. Salad was ok, crispy chicken was cold not sure if that's how it should've been or not. No booths which is kind of a bummer with kids it's easier to trap them in and control the wild. Prices are high but I wasn't surprised with it being the Gaylord, we've been to the DFW location several times.

    This is the place to watch sports

    Do they have designated parking?

    Hi Jazz! You can park in the Gaylords parking garage, and we validate with a $25 spend.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes! Growlers gladly accepts reservations. It is a big place, so you should be okay without a reservation. Although, I can see Growlers getting packed on big game days.

I chose So Fresh and So Clean, which exactly was the taste when I sipped this drink. The garnishing was minimal, so I was a little disappointed that the presentation wasn't that great. I ordered Just like candy and I loved the candy garnish as this was a fun twist to this drink. I did want the cocktails be a little more alcohol forward since I didn't feel it very much. Service was okay as we had to flag someone down to place another drink order. This place will reopen again soon and I'll try the cocktails again. Nice place to relax and unwind before or after dinner or in the morning with your coffee.

It's just enough food for one and gives you a sampling of different menu items. The Korean-style wings had good flavor and just the right level of spice, though I wish they were a little crispier. The sliders were straightforward -- nothing groundbreaking -- but well made and satisfying. Fries came out crispy, which I always appreciate. My wife had the poke nachos, and those were the sleeper hit. I was skeptical about the pico at first, but it actually added depth and balance. The sauce tied everything together nicely.

From the start, our server was inattentive and seemed completely dismissive when we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. There was no acknowledgment at all, which made the occasion feel overlooked. To make matters worse, on a Friday night they were out of all draft beer, which was surprising for a restaurant and bar that promotes its tropical cocktails and lively atmosphere. Dessert was the biggest letdown. The mango sticky rice was honestly one of the worst versions we've ever had--poorly prepared and lacking flavor. The chocolate cake was so dry that it was practically inedible. The tropical décor and hidden tiki speakeasy "X" are interesting concepts, but the poor service and disappointing food overshadowed what should have been a special birthday celebration. We left feeling let down and will not return.
