    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 !!!

    This spot just gets it…read more I came through recently and was honestly excited before I even ordered food because they had a solid selection of NA mocktails. For a bar, that's not always a given, and as someone who doesn't drink as much these days, that immediately stood out to me. I grabbed a lavender leprechaun and it was super refreshing, light, and just a really nice change of pace from the usual soda-or-water options. It didn't feel like an afterthought, it actually felt intentional. For food, I went with the corned beef sandwich and it did not disappoint. Hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you'd want from a proper Irish pub. The whole place has that classic pub vibe but still feels welcoming whether you're drinking or not. That balance is rare, and I really appreciated it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially knowing I've got solid non-alcoholic options to enjoy.

I ordered the sampler that came with smaller portions of the beef stew, chicken boxty, shepherd's pie, and corned beef and cabbage.i think the stew was one of the ones i liked the best, it was hearty, the meat was tender, and the flavor was good. The chicken boxty could have used a little bit more flavor to the sauce, it tasted kind of bland. The shepherd's pie was the beef version, it was not the best I've had but still good. I feel like it also could have used just a bit more flavor or some salt. The corned beef and cabbage tasted like they added nothing to it to give it flavor, so i was a bit disappointed with it. However, the corned beef was pretty tender and i liked the taste. We also ordered the house burger which we liked. I liked the flavor the irish cheddar gave it. It came with fries, which tasted fresh and we enjoyed. It's pretty dark inside, and it definitely looks older, but that's the vibe they are going for. You almost feel transported to another time for sure. Yeah everything was in there The upstairs looks a little bit brighter, and in hindsight I wish we would have sat up there. I feel like downstairs is more for when you just want to have a drink and watch the game.

I hate leaving questionable reviews.. but also feel when we researched places we didn't get an accurate story. This is a true neighborhood pub.. the place you come so everybody knows your name. Which I love and can appreciate. But as an outsider it was kinda chaotic instead. A bartender came to clean a table for us. The largest grossest bugger hanging out of his nose, he had sweat marks so large there was no need to lift his arms to see them. He proceeded then to do shots at the bar with costumers. Which again... I totally can appreciate having a good time in a good neighborhood pub. The floors were so dirty around the booths. The menus dirty. Just over all couldn't stay and eat here. Did get some good laughs watching a few very inebriated customers, had some good drinks and went on our way. We personally wouldn't come back, but again if you live in the neighborhood and it's just that place you come to for your hang with friends, it's looks like it's a fun place.

His questions guided my indecision towards a Berkshire Old Fashioned that was fantastic despite my fumbling to get there. With the warm up round over and the old fashioned loosening up my creativity, round two was set to be a knockout. I love coffee (specifically strong espresso drinks), so I asked for a strong, coffee infused, punchy cocktail, but with a different base of alcohol from the old fashioned. What came out was the best cocktail I will probably ever have in my life. The bourbon cocktail with coffee liqueur (and a number of other garnishes I will never remember) hit the bullseye. Flavorful, strong, bold, delicious all at the same time. Unfortunately (?), this was a noble experiment so I'll forever be chasing the white whale of what this drink was. But that's the allure.

Felt like I was going inside some continental room like John Wick. Definitely my vibe and definitely coming back. But if you ever get Garrick as your bartender, you're in for a treat!

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.
