If it was just the small church it would be one thing but they also have a nice courtyard with hanging lights that could stand on its own. The beer itself was good but not typically what I like.

Overall a cool concept and a fun place to swing in for a beer.

I get there and they have plenty of seating available. I check out the bar and take a seat. The place itself is huge! Lots of great places to hang with friends and party. They had a padres game in and lots of specials when the Padres play. I had the Ballpark Paloma which has tequila , dragon fruit juice and grapefruit juice and soda. It was very refreshing and delicious. My only knock is I hate drinks served in plastic cups but this is normal for a lot of bars at the pools. The bartender Jason was extremely friendly and courteous and I was extremely happy with my drink. I will definitely be back soon with friends.

Came here the week of Comic Con on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. The Gas Lamp restaurants that…read morewere closer to the Convention Center were the busier restaurants. Was greeted immediately and was seated within 10 minutes which was great, but there was a little bit of wait to order our food. One thing I do when trying new restaurants is to check the menu out before hand and have my order ready to place once the waiter/waitress approaches the table. What we ordered Honey BBQ Wings: Crispy and right amount of sauce. Not drenched or soggy but the perfect amount and was delicious BBQ Bacon Smash Burger: Seasoned very well and the bacon was crispy. The burger was smaller than expected and the fries were really salty. Overall a great place to checkout and come with friends. Nice chill spot to enjoy a meal and has great music. There was a dj there as well that made the atmosphere fun.

The Mothership is a unique cocktail bar in San Diego with a spaceship theme. The front of the…read morebuilding is very unassuming, but once you enter, you are transported to a spaceship that has crashed on an alien planet. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made on OpenTable. The main bar area is just inside the entrance, and has a "inside the spaceship" vibe. The décor is great with bulkheads, overhead ducts and grates, geometric panels and lights, devices and cabling, etc. The back of the bar features a cool color changing and bubbling reactor. When I was booking our reservation, I was on the fence between booking the bar or dining room. While the bar area does look very cool, I'm happy I went with the dining room. The vibe in this area is you're half in the crashed spaceship, but also outside at nighttime on a tropical planet. The back wall has similar décor to the bar area, but there are rock cave walls, vegetation, and stars overhead. Shooting stars periodically shoot across the sky. There are subtle sound effects playing in the background that add to the environment. There is also some tiki influence with colorful tiki lights being replaced by illuminated aliens egg pods. There is also music playing in the background that they custom curated and is kind of a mix of sci-fi and tiki that totally goes with the environment. I started out with the Self-Destruct Sequence (black pot still Jamaican rum, spiced West Indies rum, aged Caribbean rum, grapefruit, lime, cinnamon, cardamom, Angostura bitters, absinthe, $17). This cocktail was excellent, and is probably one of my new favorites. It was perfectly balanced and complex. Every single flavor was there if you looked for it. She started out with the Away Mission (aged Caribbean rum, gold pot still Jamaican rum, crème de banana, kumquat, papaya, pineapple, lime, opal basil, mint, $16). This was another good balanced cocktail, but with a sweeter flavor profile. I was on the fence for my second drink, and ended up going with the Mindkiller (navy strength West Indies rum, white overproof Jamaican rum, Amaro Meletti, coconut cream, pineapple, tangerine, orange, lime, Tang cordial, $19). I asked our server before ordering it and she confirmed it was definitely a sweeter drink. After seeing this drink on many of the other tables, I had to try it. It is definitely sweet and boozy. The pineapple, coconut, and citrus definitely stand out and the Tang cordial on top kicks the orange into overdrive. I probably wouldn't order it again, but don't regret trying it. Plus, I got that cool swizzle stick to add to my collection. For her second, she had the Revival Mission mocktail (papaya, kumquat, mint, basil, pineapple, lime, soda, $13). We goofed and didn't realize this was the mocktail version of the Away Mission. It had a similar flavor profile but was sweeter. In hindsight, we should have paid closer attention and ordered one of the other mocktails. Be sure to check out the restrooms. They are lit with all red pattern on the walls with mirror on the ceiling, and a mission control type sound track playing in the background. The hallway by the bathrooms is also fully themed, with décor and bulkhead doors. We were initially greeted and served by Anthony, and another server who's name I didn't catch took over for him halfway through. Service was very friendly, and helpful as we asked several questions about the menu. All of our drinks came out in a timely manner, and we were not rushed to leave. We managed to catch the little show that occurs when certain drinks are ordered. The lights dim, special alarm sounds play, and smoke comes out of the spaceships overhead ducts. In addition to picking up some cool swizzle sticks, I also bought their purple cosmic skull mug and a pair of cocktail glasses as souvenirs from our visit. We will definitely return the next time we are down in San Diego.

She was by herself upstairs the afternoon of the My Chemical Romance concert. Their entire vibe matches the same energy as concert goers...and the MCR merch tent was set up at noon with a line so long that people were definitely going to be drawn to a local spot that was playing the same genre music. Unfortunately for the lone waitress it was a sit anywhere you want situation and she had no idea anyone was sitting in her area...until she decided to "do her rounds" as she told us. Then she told us she forgot her tablet and grabbed her phone. So even though we were already sitting waiting for anyone to come out for 30 minutes she could only remember drink orders and had to come back to take food orders. This continues this way the entire time...and we were not alone, more people were seated and at some point there was a hostess that was seating people and it was piling up with a server that could not multi-task. She was so friendly but it was just not going to cut it in that moment. I could continue with more examples but hopefully you can sense the frustration and understand what this was like. I hope they can staff better in moments like this for the future, especially with Petco hosting so many concerts that fit their vibe! Oh and the potato skins were amazing! ....thats what gave it 3 stars! The location and vibes gave it the first 2.

From the spooky, dark, skulls old school ambiance and decor, to the experience of not ordering from a menu, everything about it made it feel unique and curated making it feel like a true individualized experience. As mentioned, there are no menus. We sat at the bar, the bartender makes casual conversation with you regarding the types of drinks you enjoy. He curated something for both my husband and I based on what we shared we enjoyed. The drinks were delicious. The entry was very cool! It felt as if you were entering a hidden spot - which you do. When you enter the restaurant, you let the hostess know you're there for the Noble Experience. She let us know to head to the wall with the kegs (which is actually a door). You enter and there's a small waiting area where you're greeted by another hostess. This place is a 20/10. We can't wait to return on our next visit to SD.
