Majorette is your local dive bar that provides great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We went for a world cup game and it wasn't overly crowded and so it was a more relaxed environment which we didn't mind at all. They have 2 pool tables for free to play as well as a nice outdoor patio area that has some TVs too. The bartender was very nice as well. I got the Smash Burger and added an extra patty (for only $2). It was super delicious! The burger was piping hot with the gooey cheese and the meat flavor/seasoning really came through. My partner got the Fancy Smash which comes with lettuce, tomato and their special sauce. I really liked their special sauce to dip the fries in. It had a citric flavor to it which was really nice and addicting. Cool vibes, great food, can't go wrong at Majorette! read more

Majorette - The Smash Burger (added extra patty and fries) - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

We stopped by Majorette to watch the Mexico World Cup match, and it was definitely a vibe! They have a spacious outdoor patio with plenty of seating, plus a good amount of seating inside. The atmosphere is awesome and like I said, definitely a vibe. There are multiple TVs throughout the bar, so it's easy to catch the game from wherever you're sitting, and they have a couple of pool tables if you're looking to hang out before or after. The food was delicious, and they have a great beer selection. Even if you're not there for a game, I'd recommend stopping by just for the atmosphere. It's a cool place to grab a drink and enjoy some good food if you're in the area. read more

Majorette - Cider & Hazy at the bar - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Le Bar Majorette identification located on a non-descript section of El Cajon Boulevard, three blocks east of College Avenue, not far from San Diego State University. There is street parking only. Note that a Funeral Home is located very nearby, which seems to have crowds every night, and they can take up some of the available parking. There are natural wines---bubbles, red, white an orange. The Fancy Smash Burger with sweet potato French fries was very enjoyable. There is no coffee available at all for an after-dinner drink. The restaurant is named "Bar Majorette" in honor of the famous neon sign that was at the Campus Drive-in movie theater. That venue is now located at the College Grove Shopping Center, according to the waitress who took care of me on the evening of my visit. read more

Majorette is the quintessential definition of a true dive bar with the standout exception that it also happens to have great food! Tucked away on a non-descript stretch of businesses near SDSU , you enter the main bar area complete with pool tables and an outdoor patio where they allow dogs. We sat at the bar, were they serve many different beers on tap as well as natural wines. No cocktails. We started with the wedge salad, which was absolutely wonderful. Cold, fresh, crispy, covered in just the right combination of crumbled bacon, blue cheese, baby, heirloom, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and the surprise element , fresh dill. Wow! What a surprise. Be sure to get this. Next step we had to try the SMASH BURGER and they did not disappoint. Great brioche toasted bun, juicy patty covered in melting American cheese with some pickles. Great meat to bun ratio, btw. Also, get the double , one patty is not enough! They also offer another version of their Smashburger, which is more like an In-N-Out burger and comes with lettuce, tomato and onion. I'm gonna have to try that next time I go in there. Service was friendly and quick. Don't sleep on this one! read more

Majorette has the makings of everything I like at a bar: great food, generous happy hour, and pool tables (free!) The burger was super solid and ingredients were fresh. I got the fancy smash (veggies is what makes it different than the standard for a $2 up charge), but I would recommend adding a patty for $2 to make the brioche bun to meat ratio better. Like someone else mentioned, fries are McDonald's-esque, and they had a good dill-forward ranch upon request. Lots of space, the outdoor area is great breathing room. Will definitely come back for HH. read more

Location is a bit odd and only street parking but I would definitely come back! Came during happy hour and got a beer for $5. They have a decent variety to choose from. I got a hazy IPA and they had two kinds. Lots of space inside that wasn't too busy when I came around 4. A smallish back patio that was nice. They have TVs all around so I'm sure you could watch games here. Patio was dog friendly which is a plus! read more

Mid bar tbh Whiskey wet , beers cold , I guess that's all you need now days . That's about it when I came in on a slow Wednesday for happy hour, wanted to get food and decent service but you won't get the service part, or any interest in what the kitchen has to offer . I'm sure if you're a local it's easy to walk into and spend some money . I Wouldn't recommend making a trip to this bar because you saw it on king of happy hour or something. You'll save more at your local place finding a happy hour instead of coming here or somewhere you trust . Vibes were weird . read more

Great service. Dope venue. Very spacious! Wish there were more pool tables but I think it helps keep rowdiness/problems down with two so, bitter sweet lol. But yeah nice spot to come grab happy hour. Great beer wine and cider menu, and good serving size bites! We got the grilled cheese and big burger both with bacon and sweet potato and regular fries as our sides. Then there was an 8% ABV Cider on tap and that had me feeling a nice buzz! Super strong for a cider. I got big burger but will likely try the smash burgers when I go back. The sesame seed bun was too soft/soggy to hold the thick burger patty together so that was annoying. All in all, the place has a good deals and is close to home though, so. I'll be back :) read more

No better way to describe this spot than a "clean dive bar". I know. That sounds like an oxymoron but it's accurate, I promise. Majorette gives you all the best things about dive bars: relaxed atmosphere, casual, friendly, all without all the grimey, gross, tables/floor/bathrooms. On top of that, their food is delicious! Their smash burgers are crispy and seasoned to perfection. Their fries are perfectly crisp. Even their wedge salad was fresh and well dressed. A wedge salad?? Your local dive bar could never! I've never been excited about dive bar, but I'm excited about Majorette. I'll be back soon! read more

Majorette - Menu Jan 2025 - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

All the things you love about a dive bar but cleaner. The only thing missing may be cheap food but you get what you pay for and their food is quality. The smash burger was perfectly crisp and the flavors were spot on. The fries were McDonalds-esque, crispy salty and great complement to the burger. The beers are reasonably priced and they have lots of options, alcoholic and non alcoholic. It's a great neighborhood style bar with delicious food. I hope to become a regular with the welcoming and fun bartenders! read more

This bar packs a punch. Great beer selections and plenty of TV's to watch spots. I would say the only thing to be worked on is the temperature of the tap beer. It's not ice cold and it definitely could poor out colder. The staff is very friendly. The highlight is their smash burger. So tasty and no grease at all. Highly recommend!! I'll be back for sure. read more

Described by Jake as a "classy" dive bar with multiple TVs to enjoy sports games. Classy because the food is better than traditional dive bars. Came here on a Tuesday night to enjoy their great Tuesday special which includes A smash burger and a pint of any beer for only $10. A neat tip that my friend put me on is that for an additional $2, you can add an extra patty and $3 for fries. You order at the register, they give you your number and the food is brought to your table. The smash burger was good, not greasy like they usually are and would definitely be back. Close to SDSU campus, so expect a lot of college students. Two billiard tables inside and an outdoor patio. Parking is street, went on a Tuesday night and had no issues, but I could see it being a problem on other nights. read more

Nice back patio. Plenty of screens if you're watching a game. Staff was awesome and helpful. Corn ribs were interesting and the double burger was great! Sweet potato fries were definitely better than the regular fries. Stubby miller high life's were a funny option when you just want another half beer. read more

Majorette is a gem in college area. Great beer selection, amazing sandwiches, friendly service. My husband loves their burger, I get the fried chicken sandwich. Homemade pickles! Did I mention the fries are amazing? They're always playing padres games. Vibes are chill, quiet, friendly. A good place to catch up with a friend, shoot some pool with a small group, or watch the game. Happy to have a chill spot in college area. read more

This place is amazing! It has two pool tables and great prices. The bartender tonight Jake was incredible! Super friendly and attentive.

Great beers, great service. Super local hangout spot with a great patio, couple pool tables. Would highly recommend. Big shout out to Cameron who did not steer me wrong on beers all day. Thank you! Will be back. Side note: y'all could put some more veggie options on the menu. read more

This is my favorite bar and grille in San Diego. They have amazing food (check for availability), solid beer on tap, tv's galore and free pool tables. It's also locally owned and operated by the same folks who brought us Scrimshaw Coffee. Do the smash burger and fries! With a Societe Pupil! read more

First time in here for a trivia night and we were pleasantly surprised about the food we ordered. For a bar, I thought the meatball sandwich we had was delish! We ordered sweet potato fries along with it and they were equally tasty! I would come here again to enjoy a trivia night. There are many competitive teams that night which made it that much more challenging! read more

Five stars, are you kidding! Walked in on a Saturday night, the place was a mess, dirty glasses, dishes all over the bar. Tables and chairs all jumbled around. People playing pool and at the bar, all seemed happy. There was nowhere to sit except on the back patio which was mostly empty. Nobody greeted us or tried to provide service, despite us looking around for a place to sit and talking about where to go instead. This place might be fun for the local college students who don't want a big crowd, but I'd recommend that anyone else take a pass... read more

Very cool place! The classier dive bar. Great beer selection, excellent service, and burgers just like my mom made. Nothing fancy but a great deal. Parking is def a little tricky. Be patient and you'll find one! It's worth it! read more

I like how they have unique and natural wines, plus decent food, and two tables of relatively good quality & space. I don't like how their staff are cold, and the pours are often weak for paying $13+ for a glass of wine. When a game is on, or the trivia, also pretty annoying. It's a gamble on whether you get a pool table or whether college students with no awareness hog them all night. Also CHANGE THE BULB OVER THE TABLE! I'm about to bring in a fresh bulb for you, but I better get a free drink out of it : P read more

First off! Jake- not from State Farm is the BEST tender of the bar- and to the owner- BRAVO on the most comfortable bar stools my little ass has ever sat in Best hole in the wall bar ever. Person. Xoxo Richiimy read more

Came here with a friend on Thursday evening, someone had recommended he stop by Majorette to try their burgers. We both had never been here so decided to give it a try. Their instagram gives dingy dive bar vibes and I think there's a lot of opportunity for them to attract more customers with their social media, but it seems like the place has only recently been re-opened by new management so maybe they're working on it. The actual experience inside was great, we sat at the bar and ordered smash burgers, fries, and got to try a bunch of the beers on tap. There was only one guy working behind the bar, I'm guessing it's pretty slow on weeknights. I would give the burger an 8.5/10, it was yummy and the fries were perfect. We stayed for about 3 hours just hanging out and talking + they were playing Star Wars on one tv and an MLB game on the other (we both love Star Wars and baseball) so that was cool. Check out this place if you're looking for a local beer & wine bar! read more

A casual bar with Two Towns on tap? Say less. There's a few parking spots in the plaza, but mostly street parking off of El Cajon. Check out their Instagram for updates on their weekly hours/event nights. Came in on a Thursday night, and the bartender & one staff member gave the food and drinks. Nice place for a drink, small smash burger, or buncha fries with friends, not to mention the two free pool tables! read more

Place is great so don't mind the review. The problem is I got sur charge for my drinks and bartender did it with intentions. ( proof receipt and charges) but they did reverse it when confronted. What happened to integrity and honesty? Just make sure you guys check your receipts before leaving ! Still 5 stars for me. I won't let one bad apple ruin how delicious their burgers are read more

I discovered this place when looking for a good ol' smashburger, and W. O. W. This place is amazing. Everything on the menu is seriously a 10/10.

Best smash burger in town. Good beer list, fair prices, free pool. The staff and owners are great.

Great food and good vibes, also an excellent beer and wine selection (we can't get enough of the IPA out of Tijuana, La Lupalosa). Ownership did a great job cleaning the place up and still have the pool tables. Recommend stopping by if you're in college area! read more

Went here for the game. Cool local spot. I left my phone on the bar and they held my it so it didn't get stolen.

I couldn't love this place more. They specialize in not pissing me off. Tied with The Friendly for my favorite burger in San Diego. The regular smash burger is amazing and if you're looking for a Big Mac from 1976 try the Fancy smash. Fried chicken sandwich is also amazing as is the steak sandwich and the rest of the whole dang menu. Great beer and wine selection, occasional live music, dog friendly patio, plenty of TV's with all the games, and everyone who works there is awesome. Get on it! read more

Great food, great beer, great staff. Lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood. Try the fancy smash. It's my fave!

Chill place and a good N/A beer selection. Friendly bartender and a cool vibe. I'll be back for a bite!
