    Great energy, friendly people, and delicious food for very reasonable prices. The bartenders are some of the nicest I have met and made us immediately feel welcomed. This is a casual, neighborhood type place that seemed to have a lot of local regulars who know each other. Great place for after work drinks!

    We were going to have lunch at Fifty9Fifty in Tierrasanta. Neither of us checked it out on Yelp or Goggle as we typically do. Upon arrival we found Fifty9Fifty to be permanently closed. We hopped back into the truck and headed down Santo Road. On the corner of Santo and Clairemont Mesa Blvd. tucked in the corner of a Vons anchored strip mall we spied JP's Pub. JP's offers food. We were hungry. We stopped. JP's looked like a typical no-windows, dark bar. And that's pretty much what we found. The place is big though. Large horseshow bar, pool tables, plenty of TVs. The obligatory regulars sitting at the end of the bar shootin' the shit. In other words; our kind of place! Our bartender Cynthia provided great service. The regs were welcoming and friendly. We weren't looking for a Michelin Star worthy meal, nor were we expecting one. What we found was some really good Pub Grub that was prepared with pride. The cook even came out and checked on us. He wanted to make sure our food was to our liking. Solid. Becky had the cheeseburger and I was intrigued by the fish sando, we shared some fries.. The burger was a good burger. It was a good ol' fashioned flat top burger, melted cheese, LTO, mayo, ketchup, mustard on a sesame seed bun. A pretty sweet deal for 12 bucks. The fish sando was really good. Was it a frozen Costco filet out of a bag? Probably. But it was seasoned nicely and fried perfectly. A tasty slaw covered the bottom bun, good tartar sauce up top. 8 bucks! This was definitely not a shitty Mickey D Filet O' Fish! Fries were really good. If we lived in the neighborhood we'd be JP's regulars shootin' the shit at the end of the bar.

    Nestled in a TierraSanta strip with an unsuspecting outer appearance, JPs pub is a local gem just waiting to be discovered. With 2 pool tables, a jukebox, and ample bar seating, it is a traditional American dive bar that will make you feel right at home. They are open daily until 2am (kitchen open until 12pm-7pm Sunday/Monday, 12pm-10am Tues/Sat). The food is cooked fresh and absolutely hits the spot. Not to mention $2 tacos on Tuesdays and $0.75 wings on Thursdays! 5-stars all around for being about as local as it gets, fun, welcoming, and having a solid combination of food/drink. Definitely plan to be back.

    Chili dog chicago dog $6 bucks and burger cheeseburger  special $10 bucks with a cold draft !!!

There is plenty of space, and a fairly open air location, so we didn't over heat, and had plenty of shade. Our server was super kind and gave us all the best recommendations! They even showed us where the SDCC menu corresponded to the normal menu. We ended up splitting the Big Boss burger, French fries, Mac and cheese, tots, Caesar salad, ribs with sauce on the side. It was recommended to mix the ribs with the Mac and cheese, and I have never been happier with a recommendation in my life. This is precisely why I like to ask for the servers favorites!

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

You have to be within 7 days of your requested reservation date so as soon as I was closer I set up a reservation through Open Table. They do require a deposit which was fine because it made sure that we had the lanes needed for our party. 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. Cute thing, you can actually have kids come too, my niece who is 5 got to come along and they had a little device for her so she can push the ball, she ended up beating me. Everyone was so kind and service was so smooth and efficient, we got to bring donuts for our party and my husband and I ordered the carnitas nachos, they were delicious. Seriously such a great time, obviously this is before the Padres season so we lucked out on parking but this is a great place to host birthday parties.

    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

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay.

I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.

The tots were crispy and only slightly oily. There was a decent amount of chicken and other ingredients involved and the portion size wasn't too bad. Getting the beans on the side was the right move because the tots stayed crispy the whole time. Honestly, I would come back here for the totchos again, but would enjoy it more next time if they had a sour to pair with it.
