Honestly, one of the best experiences I've had watching a sporting event ever. I'm not one to leave reviews, good or bad, but the service at Home & Away yesterday for the USA Men's World Cup game was exceptional. The place was packed, but never annoying. Our drinks were never empty and the vibes were consistently high. Shout out to Callie for taking great care of us. It's THE spot in SD for big games read more

Came for World Cup. Energy was off the charts. Bartenders were amazing. Huge TVs and great vibe. Always makes you feel like you chose the right place when you here people around you talk about how amazing the place is read more

Home & Away - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

First time visit over the weekend. Located away from the heart of Old Town, so I was able to find street parking. Liked the variety of seating options- inside, covered and full sun. Massive big screen outside establishes that this is definitely a sports bar. Pleasant service. Really glad I only stayed for one draft IPA because it was $9.50! We're past the COVID and minimum wage excuses. Considering how other non-touristy places are holding the line at $8 or even $7.50, this rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not in a hurry to return. read more

Whether you want to watch your games indoors, outdoors (covered patio), or way outdoors as close to Home & Away's huge *ss tv as possible (in which case bring a hat!) this place offers a variety of seating options for your viewing pleasure. The Nachos (Fresh Chips, Chicken or Pork, Cotija Cheese, Peruvian Beans, House-made H&A Salsa Verde, Sour Cream, Onions and Cilantro) are nearly as ginormous as the aforementioned screen, and well worth ordering. Speaking of ordering, you'll need to do so (and pick up) inside at the bar, but it'd be nice if there were also a table service option, particularly if you're sitting outside! read more

Stopped in for a playoff game this Sunday and had a great time! What a great find!! So here we go... ADD 1 STAR Parking on Sunday was great! Plenty of street parking even for a 1pm game start! Unlike places like Gaslamp, PB, Hillcrest I was pleasantly surprised! ADD 1 STAR Great outdoor seating area both covered and also out in the sun. Huge outdoor screen for the game too. Plenty of other tvs around the bar! ADD 1 STAR Plenty of water stations to help keep you hydrated! Even dog bowls for your 4 legged friends! ADD 1 STAR Staff were friendly and welcoming and always came around to clear our table. My only issue was the food. I was so disappointed in the smash burger. What's up with smashing the bun into a hard pancake both top and bottom bun? I've had better tasting smash burgers but I can get a better one at Jack in the Box and for $10 cheaper. It was so underwhelming I didn't even want to take a picture. The tator tots were awesome! Perfect crunch and spice....so flavorful! The women's bathroom is a little strange and quite frankly a waste. Two toilets set up side by side like how urinals are. This only works if 2 close friends are in there. They could easily make this 2 stalls and keep lines to a minimum. So 2 toilets but really just 1 women's bathroom. read more

Home & Away - So weird. - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here for a going-away dinner for work. There's plenty of outdoor seating, which is always a plus in San Diego. Parking is pretty rough, but it's Old Town--pick your battles. The food was decent, a slight upgrade from your typical bar food, but nothing that really stands out or makes you want to come back just for the menu. The drink selection is great, though, and the service has always been solid. Lots of large TVs make it an easy spot to catch games and hang out with a group. read more

Good beer but food is just ok. I'm a little thrown off by the chicken strips, which are a bar staple and should not be that hard. At least get these right if you're going to put them in your menu. I can't tell if they are burnet or just a weird batter recipe...but I won't order then again. I remember the fries being really good but today, just ok. Don't go out of your way to eat here. But nice atmosphere and a good local beer selection. read more

Went for the World Cup finals game, the vibes were immaculate and for how busy it was the workers did a great job with getting everyone their food and drinks. They had a lot of TVs so anywhere you looked you could catch the game. I am giving it a four stars because when it's really busy, it's really important to stay on top of restroom checks which was a bit lacking and having a couple more umbrellas on the patio would be really nice. read more

This is our second time here and last. I ordered ceviche and this is what they serve. I realize it's a bar but this is far from what I would consider ceviche or worth $17.00. In a separate order, some of the fries were overcooked and some were undercooked. Just stick to burgers here read more

Large sports bar with a smaller indoor section and a much larger outdoor area that includes a huge TV. This is a popular hangout for good reason and is packed during NFL games.

While visiting family in the area, we all went to Home & Away for Taco Tuesday. This place is one of my brother in law's favorites. There's a nice outside seating area and pretty good bar food here. You order at the bar, find a seat and they bring your food. I had the Carne Asada tacos, my wife had a shrimp and a pork taco and my daughter had chicken tacos. These were reasonably priced at $3.50 for each taco. The place was jumping with lots of people there and the NBA playoffs on the TVs. Looks to be a good watering hole not too far from the airport. I will return here one day. read more

Loveeee the outdoor space and number of TVs they have. If you're not a chiefs fan, opt for watching games elsewhere when they're playing. But bartenders are fast, friendly and good at their jobs. Food is ordered at the bar, comes out quick and the wings are top tier. Parking lot in front is a bit small but there's plenty of street parking available. read more

So grateful to Home & Away and their team for helping us make this Halloween Themed Going Away Party possible! Everyone had such a good time and couldn't stop speaking about the space of the venue and the convenience of being so close to our place of employment. People were able to stop by after work and enjoy the festivities. We chose home & away so guests could park in our employee lot and catch a ride to the bar as parking is tight. It's mainly just street parking. Home & Away allowed us to rent out the patio and decorate and even have a mariachi band play. They provided a taco bar for us that was delicious ! And the cost of this whole event, venue space & food was so reasonable. To the bar manager that helped us set up and help us get batteries last minute, thank you so much! read more

One of my favorite sports bars to watch games at. There's plenty of street parking and they have a small parking lot in front. Love the indoor and outdoor areas. They also have heaters which is definitely clutch when it's during the cooler months. Food: my favorite are the wings and nachos. I usually get that, but I need to try the other stuff on the menu! This time around, I did order the carne asada tacos; tbh they were a bit dry and didn't have much flavor. The service was very nice and the staff is always friendly! One thing they could add on their menu is guacamole. They have chips and salsa, but no guacamole. :( My most favorite part about this bar is that it is pet friendly! I'll definitely be back again and again. read more

Went today before mexico Korea game, I think their system stinks. I see 6-7 bartenders and 2 "lines start here" signs. You have to go to these lines to order food and drinks. There is no effort by staff to speed up process. They are just having fun hanging behind the bar while there are 2 lines of at least 6-10 people waiting to order. Food is mediocre and some may say overpriced, but maybe not with this economy. I've been twice in 5 years, probably be another couple years before I return. read more

Came here for Thursday night football with the boys. I had the Tachos and they went with burgers. Really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and going up to the bar to order. Also there's no shortage of screens, so everyone has a viewing angle to watch the game. Their outside area was great, especially in the fall when the weather is still warm. Food came out quick and was tasty. read more

Free and convenient parking. read more

The 3 tacos special was very good. The service was prompt and pleasant. The atmosphere inside and out was welcoming and relaxed.

Unfortunately we didn't get to experience much of the inside but we did have their food! Apparently after 9PM they only serve 21 and over. We showed up at 9:03 with our kids in tow and we had walked there from our hotel after a long day of walking everywhere so we were starving and tired. Thankfully they let us order to go food and we ordered the adult grilled cheese, the carbs asada sandwich, and the smoked chicken tacos. The grilled cheese was delicious. It's a mix of cheeses and has sundried tomato spread and basil on it and it was on sourdough bread. Comes with a pickle spear and fries or tots. We got fries and they tasted like skinny steak fries. 4/5 The carne asada sandwich. Comes with peppers, garlic aioli, arugula, guyere cheese. Came with fries or tots. Got tots which were crispy and delicious. 5/5 Smoked chicken street tacos (3) came with cajote cheese, onions, cilantro, avocado verde salsa. They were so flavorful and full of lots of meat. More than enough to fill you up. Came with tortilla chips. 4/5 While we were waiting we got a Home & Away Mexican Lager. Good flavor and smooth enough for a casual beer drinker. 5/5 I would go back to try and try here during normal business hours so we could sit inside the restaurant but the food was good and they made it quickly. read more

Wings were great! Tacos were hit or miss. The fish taco wasn't great, however, the steak was fantastic. I'll definitely stick to steak next time I come here.. it was great! Great drink selection and love the atmosphere of the games playing and the outdoor section with the big screen. Super fun. Perfect for game day read more

Late night dining can be hard to come by on a Wednesday in San Diego, and this place is an oasis.* At the suggestion of a friend (who is a restauranteur himself) we came for the Classic Cheeseburger. A life-sized, char broiled flavored, hand formed patty on a sticky toasted bun, with perfect golden fries and all the fixings you could want, made the $16 go down real easy. We also had a delicious hearty, healthy, hippy salad (The Rocket), which was a pleasant surprise for a sports and beer joint. LOVED Home and Away, and looking forward to going back for live music in the huge community courtyard.

Looked promising. Sports bar, big screen, large outdoor area. Tater tots extremely salty, fries too salty, Carne asada Sandwich meat extremely salty. Classic Burger had offputting freezer or refrigerator taste in the meat. I'm assuming over salting is to try to make you drink more? Great beer selection. Order from the bar take a seat and a number and your food is delivered to you. Service is average. It looks like a great place for drinks, but that's about it. read more

We've been coming to Home and Away for football watch parties for the past few years. They have a great outdoor patio setup with a massive screen and heaters or umbrellas to accommodate any weather. The staff is incredibly friendly. Unfortunately the menu doesn't really accommodate gluten allergies with the only option being an underwhelming yet pricey salad. It's difficult to spend 3-5 hours there on a weekend without options for food, especially when drinking. The parking situation is also difficult on busy game days since the restaurant only has about 5 designated spaces and street parking throughout the surrounding blocks is tricky. read more

hello, I just want to report few problems we found on our recent visit with a party of 8. I will address each concern with a number: 1. while the waitress was courteous, she didn't check the table enough, water was constantly needed, some silverware missing too but we managed 2. you should inform client for a party of 8 there is an automatic 20% nobody told us. 3. you should inform clients there is an additional 3% for using a credit card, which is really unusual in our experience. 4. the 3% surcharge for using a credit card is really ridiculous. because it's part of the business if you want to offer clients the possibility to pay by credit card, in addition don't say "to help paying for credit card charges", obviously if you want to accept cc you need to pay the service, why charge us? it's like ho by the way there is also some utilities to pay because now they increase their service, rental increased too so clients need to help 5. a 3% for cc usage is also kind of high. I do websites with shopping carts and i have never seen a cc charging that much per transition. ok there is an annual fee and some credit card charge few cents for transaction but putting 3% to help cover these fees (which should be on you anyway) is simply ridiculous. 6. if you are struggling then You need to review your business and make adjustments and Not extra charge clients for your lack of business management first all these reason i will put these concerns on reviews and we certainly won't use your restaurant anymore in the future. Hope you find these notes as constructive criticism read more

Solid food, good service and plenty of space to watch the games (inside and out). Critiques would be putting umbrellas outside for game days where it is hot and crowded and making water and water cups more readily available. Water jug was empty every time I checked and cups nowhere to be found. Also the line for the women's bathroom gets really long because it is one locked door but once you get inside there are two stalls but there is no divider in between them (see photos). Honestly REALLY weird - who is this bathroom for? They should make the two toilets in the women's bathroom be two separate stalls that lock and remove the lock on the actual bathroom door. Simple fix that would make a world of difference. Overall, great bar. Just needs to make some easy updates to account for its popularity and create a better experience for patrons. read more

Been here a few times. Four times to be exact. Three times at night when they are closing up shop. Came each time on Thursday-Friday-Saturday night. Usually within the last two hours of them closing down. it's usually quiet and super chill. Twenty people at the most with two bartenders and one barback working. The fourth time I came here was during a Chiefs playoff game and it was packed. To the point where you couldn't find seating if you arrived within one hour of the game. I've had a handful of their food here. Spicy Thai Chicken Wings, Wedge Salad, and Shrimp Nachos. The Shrimp Nachos were my fav of the three. It was a nice blend of sauce, cheese and toppings on it. It also helps that there was a really good amount of shrimp on it. Their beer selection has a lot of craft beers on it and ones I'm not too familiar with. There's a lot of IPA's and light beers on it which aren't my fav. I prefer dark beers and they only have one or two. I did have a nice sour here and a lovely cider. There's two bathrooms inside which by the end of the night is pretty nasty. But there are a few outside which I don't think people really notice since it's tucked away in the back corner and those are much more better. The sink to wash hands are outside of the bathrooms so you have to look for it and you get to call out people who leave and don't wash their hands. For when it's packed there are many spots to sit inside and outside. Maybe I didn't notice or maybe it's special because for the game but I feel like they have additional seating that they roll out and repack away after game days. There's a bar inside and outside for game days. Forget about parking in their lot. They have maybe 8 spots. And because it's in Old Town parking is always going to be tight. I usually have to park and walk 5-10 minutes. Four stars because this spot can be both a place to get lit and be in good company when the game is on or for you to just kinda have a drink and be out but not be overcrowded during the late night hours. Whenever I find myself in Old Town I always find myself at Home & Away read more

Good place to watch games if that's what you're into! They didn't have a ton of vegetarian/vegan options so buyer beware.
