After a quick elevator ride from our 7th floor room, we strolled in just as they were opening up at 11:00 AM. It was a beautiful sunny morning. We found two seats at the bar in the sun. JulieAnna was our bartender. Wow! So pretty. JulieAnna had such an exotic beauty. She was super sweet too. We were just having one before heading to Petco Park for Padres Opening Day. I was happy to see that they had Ketch Brewing's Mexican Lager Alta Mar on tap. One of my favorites. High Noon vodka based seltzer was the only seltzer offering. Not Becky's fave, but not the worst either. 5 o'Clock Somewhere is open to the public and can be accessed via an elevator that opens up to the sidewalk below (on Island Ave.). You do not need to enter the hotel at all. Just head right on up.

It really feels like you've stepped onto another planet. The whole space-themed concept is so fun, from the drinks to the food. Every cocktail we've tried has been delicious and surprisingly strong. The cups are super cute too, and we somehow always end up buying one to take home. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially if you can't decide what to order. It's a really casual and fun spot for date night or hanging out with friends.

We ordered a few bites to share, and each had two drinks during our time there. Service was a little slow, but mostly friendly. Good suggestions and helpful answering questions. The only issue we had, which I know they needed to do on a busy night, was how pushy they were with getting out of our table right at the time limit. I am sure people try to take advantage of it - it's just not my favorite to feel that the whole experience is on a timer. Overall I am glad we went. I think I am just more of a Kindred person than a Mothership person. If you haven't been though, definitely go check it out.

Pretty clearly lots of the folks there are regulars. The regulars were happy to give us a couple of barstools.

But if you are looking for a legit neighborhood bar with that's dark and moody, this is your kind of bar. The bartender was friendly and helpful. We're shared the poutine fries with corned beef. It was amazing delicious. The gravy was savory, the fries were crisp, and the corned beef tender and yummy. We will go back.

Villain's brews their own beer, and they have a lot of good IPAs. I visited with a hop-head who knows SoCal beers, so I took his word that a Villain beer would be great, and it was. I got the Fashionably Late, which is a hazy IPA. Very tasty! Our server was super kind and gave us all lemon drop shots, on the house. Way to win my heart! I never drink shots, but I tell you what: That lemon drop went down a treat. It paired nicely with my IPA, which was citrusy. We sat on the patio, which is large and overlooks the seedy downtown San Diego streets. The weather is almost always perfect in SD, so I suggest sitting outside. But if you sit inside, that's kind of where the magic is happening. Because it wasn't until I walked around and looked at it closely that I realized that Villain's Brewing is horror themed! All around the restaurant and bar is horror movie paraphernalia, like Chucky paintings and a life-sized Freddy Krueger mannequin. I love a good themed establishment, and this one is very fun.

Our original plan was to grab some drinks at this bar downstairs then head out around the night life of our fine city.... But we ended up staying at the bar most of the night! They have large Jenga, shuffle board, connect four, and a bunch of other card and board games. The drink menu is pretty good too! I feel like we tried nearly the whole menu and I was a fan of everything I tried. Love the location too. We did also go to Coin-op just a few yards away but still ended up coming back to end the night back at Bar Moxy.

I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too.

Service: 9/10 The host was chill, and we had Quintin as our mixologist. There are no menus he told us, he just went off of our flavors, and palate, so I can't really speak for how to order the same drink.
