Fumie W.

awesome spot for some live music and drinks on friday nights 8-12!! good vibes and street parking available

Christina L.

I will be honest it's a nice bar but I was not a fan of the crowd. That in no way is the bars fault. But the drinks were really over priced even for something basic. The bartenders were nice, place was clean but I wouldn't drive out of my way to come back here.

Jennifer L.

You seat yourself and the wait staff will come to you with a menu. I'm a bit of a fish and chips snob and Hennessey's knocked my socks off. They hand dip their fish in a light breading and fry it to a crispy finish. It was honestly one of the best I've had.

Steve H.

Churro Waffle Sundae w/ Irish Coffee. That's really the important part, whether you eat here or somewhere else. Just came in for some evening drinks, unhurried and low-key, perfect fit. In La Jolla proper, but not pretentious. Plenty of outdoor seating, either out front or near their fire pit. (They do allow quiet dogs at the tables outside). Service (Grace?) was awesome, patient and helpful. They had nice live jazz (Sat night) in the enclosed bar area, and you could pick your volume level just by where you seat yourself. The Buffalo Wings (10pc/16$) were legit -- crispy and traditional, served hot. Hennessey's Lemonade was easy drinking, fresh squeezed. The Irish Coffee was exactly Buena Vista style, not tarted up.

Jan H.

Pretty easy to get a reservation and I like that they have a separate semi private room with a TV and fireplace. The service was good and everyone was friendly. Parking can be a challenge, there are a few lots around, or else it's basically Street parking. For food I wanted to get something a little more traditional so I went ahead and tried the shepherd's pie. The portion was a pretty good size, I couldn't quite finish it. It tasted pretty good, although I've had better. It came with a side of broccoli, which I thought was a little unusual and didn't really fit. We also ordered the flight of fries, which came with three different fries, and three different sauces for dipping. The fries were good, the whiskey sauce was our least favorite. I enjoyed the calamari, it wasn't too chewy and I liked that it had a good mix of legs and rings. Overall this is a pretty good Irish pub, and if you are in the area or live nearby I definitely think it's worth a visit. If you're coming from pretty far like I was, I'm not sure it would be somewhere to repeat often.

Hennessy's La Jolla is a lively Irish-themed tavern serving bar food and drink. There are lots of interior and exterior seating. Happy hour is on weekdays 4-7pm. SERVICE Friendly, helpful, attentive. DRINK 4/5 Hennessey's Elijah Craig Small Batch Old Fashioned: whiskey-bourbon forward, with a sweeter taste towards the bottom of the drink. Wish luxardo cherries were used instead, however I understand this is a happy hour drink. FOOD 5/5 SMOKED BBQ BRISKET SANDWICH Thin-sliced, tender smoked brisket topped with melted cheddar, BBQ sauce & crispy onions, served on a fresh bun, with kettle chips 4/5 Smash Burger Cooked onions that still have a kick, bacon, two beef Pattie's (a little too cooked), melted cheddar in between buns all for $7 on Thursdays is a deal. 3.5/5 Nashville Hot Chicken Bites Flavor is Nashville spicy, honey sweet, served with sides of sliced pickles & ranch dip. Breading texture could be improved

Macarena O.

Very nice Irish style bar with a lot of different areas to hang out. Their happy hour is from 4-7pm. My husband got the old fashion and I got the jumbo house red wine (a Cab). We also got the 3 samplers of fries - very big quantity and I loved all the sauces it comes with. Dogs are allowed anywhere which is a plus. Service was nice but very slow. We had to ask for someone to come take our order and to bring check a few times but I would still come back, maybe for St. Patrick's day!

Went here on a Sunday morning during the 16th Annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival. It was a great spot for brunch since they weren't busy. I've been to Hennessy's in Carlsbad, and both locations have a similar pub-style vibe. I really liked how spacious this tavern is. Service Food came out quickly. The manager was very nice and welcoming. Food We ordered the French Fry Sampler, which included Classic Tavern, Zesty Garlic Parmesan, and Spicy Sriracha fries, served with Guinness Ketchup, Sweet & Smokey, and Chipotle Aioli sauces. I wasn't a fan of the Sriracha fries, but the Classic Tavern and Zesty Garlic Parmesan were delicious! I didn't even dip the fries into the sauces much, but all the sauces were pretty good. The tomato soup was tasty! My husband had the Red-Headed Reuben. I found it a bit dry, and he thought it was okay, but said he wouldn't order it again. Beverages The drip coffee was great. Coors Light on tap hit the spot for my husband. Parking We parked at Air Garage, conveniently located right across the street. Hot Tip Check-in through yelp and you'll receive 50% off any appetizer!

While in La Jolla we were nearby and the outdoor seating was perfect. We had burgers & beers! Server took great care of us and we didn't feel forgotten about because we chose to sit outside. Definitely great lunch spot!

Ash M.

Great spot for karaoke! Came here after a comedy show nearby and the place was packed and they had a great $7 burger and fries deal my friend loved. We had great service and sang our hearts out (with a little liquid courage of course!). Would come back when I'm in San Diego again!

Gaby J.

Came here on a busy Sunday afternoon to celebrate St. Patrick's day. Unfortunately, we didn't get a seat in the patio as it was first come and first served or so I thought until the people behind us kept getting seats before us, which sort of pissed me off. They also had the fireplace turned on at 5 in the afternoon which made the room unbearably hot even with the windows open (that I had to ask on my behalf). Although the server came right away after we sat down, we weren't given a drink menu and she seemed annoyed that we didn't know what we wanted (ma'am you need to give us a drink menu if you want us to order a drink other than a Guinness). Plus, she also asked what we want less than a minute after we sat down. Great for impatient people but not good for us indecisive folks! Like another review said, the servers can feel unwelcoming at times but by a few drinks, I would say I would come back (the food was great!) but only if I get a patio seat. It was way too hot to be sitting indoors with the fireplace turned on and lots of guests inside especially if you're here in the afternoon (It was like they didn't want the indoor guests to stay too long. Just order, drink/eat and leave) Parking: Street parking Price: $$ Service: Was a hit and miss. Sometimes, they were friendly and sometimes they felt rushed but I think it was mostly due to the holiday weekend... Recommendation: Irish pub nachos & burgers. Skip the fries. Try to get an outdoor patio seat in the day. They have the fireplace indoors and it can get pretty toasty on sunny afternoons.

Pool of grease... the whole bun was saturated with grease.

Jessica M.

The burger bun was so saturated with grease I could not even cut it. The bartender/server never checked back so I did not eat. I would not go again.

Hannah R.

I am obsessed with this place. I love it here. The bartender was amazing. I will not lie. I had never done a proper shot of tequila until the bartender took the time to tell me how to do one with salt and lime in the right way to do it. And the food alone could make me come back every day of the week if I can afford it. And the whole feeling of the place is very welcoming. They do have live music. I don't know what days. But I would recommend it to anyone that goes to La Jolla. Do not pass up this place. Make sure you stop by.

Couldn't even send it back bc it took 20 min to get to me and my work break is only 30 min but I will not be stopping in again. I would barely pay $5 for that. How do you butcher a BLT???

Stopped by for drinks with friends and to listen to a jazz band performing. Amazing. I can't believe I'd never been here before. The vibe is very casual and the bartenders were so kind and quick.

... over a year and a pandemic later ... Awesome Brian has been promoted to manager and is running around too quickly to take a drink order. Thankfully Austin and Alex have taken his place! Taken on when COVID started, both Austin and Alex are great additions to the bar team! Austin is an awesome emotional support bartender and They both recommend and mix great drinks and suggest great bar bites. Try out the Strawberry Lemonade and other fresh citrus drinks. They freshly squeeze their citrus and it makes the difference. Additionally, try the cranberry lemon drop martini! Well, back to sipping my 'Sunburnt Irishman'. *slurp* read more

We visited after dinner rush on a Friday night, and found a table. It was a cold night, so took an inside table. There was a musician in the bar, and a fire pit on the patio with people. Smelled like someone was having a cigar outside which was gross. Our server was friendly, and everything came out pretty quickly. The potato "flats" were tasty, but I did miss the crispy mess of having traditional potato skins. The French onion soup was pretty good too - and perfect on a winter night. read more

I was a bit disappointed to be honest. First time visiting, but our experience was not as positive as others reviewing. Saturday night and although there was live music, there were maybe 10 other parties at the location. It was at maybe 20% capacity. The vibe was OK, but overall it seemed a little dead. The BBQ Brisket Pretzel burger was on special, but they were out of Pretzel buns. We had the BBQ Brisket Pretzel Burger, The Dublin Burger and Baja Style Fish Taco Platter. The brisket on the burger was not distinctive in any way. Low on flavor and seasoning. The bun the the Dublin burger was soggy and the bacon was limp and lacked flavor. The fish tacos were OK, but not noteworthy. First time visit, but kind of seems like a location that's on the down slope. Could have just been an off night, but I would try a number of other places before taking the chance of a repeat mediocre or less experience. read more

Decent place to grab breakfast at and enjoy a Sunday Funday with Mimosas!! This is the same Hennessey's from LA County and Seal Beach. Nothing fancy but this place is big. A lot of seating inside and on the patio. Came here with some friends after Kaaboo. We ordered the bottle of champagne (Michelle) for mimosas and it was only $20 and was enough for 4 people. I got the regular eggs breakfast with turkey sausage ($9). Their potatoes were good and were mixed with some spices and vegetables. Tip: check into Yelp and get 50% off an appetizer. Laidback and chill spot....will definitely be back if in the area. read more

The place was lively, but luck was on our side: one perfect booth remained for the four of us sweet seekers. We settled in and immediately starting gabbing (versus checking out the menu). George came over to take our order. Without even glancing at the dessert menu (a bold move, I'll admit), I asked for one of each dessert to share--paired, of course, with a couple glasses of Scarpetta Rosé bubbles (okay so I glanced at te wine menu). Priorities . What arrived was equal parts surprise and delight. First, a charming little glass jar filled with lightly whipped crème fraîche and topped with salted caramel--simple, elegant, and absolutely delicious. And then... the "hamburger." Cue the table going completely silent. Naturally, we had questions. Our server walked us through this masterpiece from the bottom up: a golden caramel cake "bun," topped with a chocolate-coated ice cream "patty," a delicate mango gelée "cheese," and even "pickles" made from matcha cake. Finished with a second warm cake layer and a touch of garnish we were too excited to fully catch--because at that point, we were already diving in. The contrast of warm cake, cool ice cream, and rich chocolate was nothing short of fantastic. Playful, unexpected, and genuinely delicious--exactly the kind of dessert experience you hope to stumble upon. Thank you, The Whaling Bar, for the sweet surprises. We'll absolutely be back--next time for martinis, and I've already been told the duck meatballs are not to be missed.

Reservations are encouraged but not mandatory as I saw numerous people get in as walk ins before my reservation. Walk-ins are seated at the bar and limited to 1 hour. For reservations they do not seat early even if you check in early. No dress code, saw people with tube tops and flip flops. They sell lots of different types of alcohol in their store. I purchased a $33 bottle of Amaretto that said it had a cookie essence. Bar Entry: The hostess will check ID and then you sit or stand on the platform and it slowly spins you around to the inside. Bathrooms are on the left and exit on the right. Our server was great and listened to what we wanted in a drink and offered options. Tried: Amuse $4 - we were celebrating a birthday so these were offered as birthday shots. Amaretto sour $18 - very good. Smooth and not too strong. French kiss - very strong. Didn't like this one. Mint mojito mocktail (aka dealers choice) $11 - this was so good and refreshing. I love the atmosphere inside. We were seated in throne like chairs which was very cool.

We made a reservation and although we arrived on time, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. I agree with some of the other commenters when they say that the revolving fireplace needs some love. It has the look and feel of needing to be updated. Also, for it to be a "speakeasy" vibe, you could hear the loudness of the bar through the walls. It just kind of ruins the facade a little bit. Regardless, we enjoyed the novelty of being slowly admitted to the speakeasy on the opposite side. We were given seats and upon first glance it was a dark lit space with an old fashioned aesthetic. I was surprised to see how casual everyone was dressed- I assumed there was a dress code, but I guess flip flops made the cut ‍. It took a few minutes for our server to attend to us, and when he did you could tell he was slammed. We just didn't get the table side manner one was hoping for an establishment like this. Peeking at their drink menu, I found myself disappointed that much of their options had a lot of sweet or fruit juice ingredients. So, I went for their old fashioned. For the price, it was just okay. Another disappointing moment. In all, it wasn't terrible, but it just isn't worth the hype. Overpriced and mediocre drinks and a seemingly overworked staff didn't make for a memorable experience and ended up not being for us. Glad to have tried it...but look elsewhere if you've actually been to a speakeasy. This just doesn't live up to what it's trying to sell you.

We called to add a couple extra people, and then those people didn't show; they rolled with the punches. The table was set when we got there. Service throughout was friendly, prompt, over and above. Ambiance was great, in a very important way: There was nice music, but you could hear yourself think! Nobody had to repeat themselves a million times. Perfect sound level for a group our size. But the food was the absolute star of the show. Literally everything was perfect. For shareable appetizers, we got both the trio and the mezze plate. It was basically hummus flights, with pita triangles and multicolored carrots. All the hummus types were delicious. But a special shout-out to the truffle hummus--it was divine. It was very truffle-y, but it was also very light and creamy. Somehow that's not a combo I expected. Next, I'm already a falafel fan, but good *Lord* their falafel was unreal. Some kind of perfect crispiness on the outside and soft flakiness inside that I've never experienced before in falafel. I asked the server what he'd recommend, and he said beef kebab. I got the beef kebab. He was not wrong. The meat itself was sumptuous. And I just moved from Texas, where every other backyard BBQ has someone smoking their brisket for 18 hours.

Trimmings are used from the other steak entrees and the jus was to die for. We also really enjoyed the cabbage with fried garlic chips and homemade chili crisp sauce. Do not forget to get their sourdough which was deliciously crispy on the outside with a brown butter wash. It was quite possibly the best sourdough we have had and well worth the extra stomach space. The frozen dirty martini was a bit overdiluted for our taste so we opted for a classic martini up, which was great. Their cocktail menu is fun and worth trying one or two. We also had some bad luck and the fresh Cacio e Pepe we ordered was inedibly salty. Sole was polite in letting us know how it is prepared and that the pecorino could be a bit salty, unfortunately we have had many variations in the past and were familiar. They may have generously over salted the water it was boiled in, or the fresh pasta itself was over salted. We did not want it comped, we just couldn't take more than a bite nor did we want to take it home. Needless to say they worked to have it removed anyway. We would've paid for it no problem. The service and food was fantastic otherwise. It was really thoughtful of her/them to remove it anyway. The drinks came without delay and even their manager would stop by to help out. A great team, a great experience. Would definitely come again.

We stopped in during the day and had a great experience at the bar. The daytime bartender was great -- friendly, attentive, and had good banter (also, not gonna lie, an attractive dude). We ordered skinny spicy margaritas and a few happy hour apps -- highly recommend the chicken bites and pretzel bites, both just $8! The tuna tacos were a little too spicy for me, but overall the food hit the spot. The bar crowd was friendly too, which added to the vibe on top of the cute and cozy ambiance - love the brickwork and feeling like I'm in the mountains. Night service, however, was a bit of a different story. We sat on the back patio and waited at least 10 minutes before being greeted by the inside bartender. She was nice but pretty flat -- no warmth or personality, and the service felt slow. As someone who works in the industry, I have a higher standard for hospitality and some genuine small talk goes a long way. Food-wise, the Frisco burger missed the mark. It felt more like a sad patty melt -- the "parm sourdough" didn't work for me, and I'd definitely suggest grilled onions instead of raw. Fries were solid but could've used a couple more minutes to get crispy. The ranch tasted straight out of a bottle -- definitely skip it. On the bright side, their Toast loyalty rewards are great! You earn 1 point per dollar (not every $2 like most places), plus $15 for your birthday and 20 points just for signing up. That perk actually got us to come back later that night -- plus, we're big fans of the Hennessey's spots in Orange County. Overall, daytime service and the rewards program make this spot worth another visit. We'll definitely come back -- just hoping for more consistent evening service next time. read more

The bar tender was making some very rude comments when my co-worker and i went in for happy hour on Friday. I guess he doesn't like working there and having to listen to peoples conversations. He told one of the servers, "Yea, and i have to listen to these dumb conversations all day". Wow. Sorry!!!! Then we came back and the two women working as waitresses kept staring and whispering under their voice and looking right at us. The women didn't look happy either partly because very few people were in there so they had nothing to do except stare and make rude remarks. As for the place itself, Really nice. The outside bar is so cool. read more

Premiere drug den of La Jolla. Even Jenny the bartender brags openly about how much acid she likes to do. Absolutely classless. I can not even remember how many times some loser tried to sell me cocaine in the restroom. Usually happens on industry night when the place is overrun with the lowest of the low. I approached the manager one time about the drug dealing in the restroom and he replied..."If you did not feel physically threatened, I would not worry about it." Stay away, especially if you have kids. read more
