Sometimes you find the best places because you're actually looking for somewhere else. Neighborhood is right in front of Young Blood, and after our cocktail experience, the bartender was so damn nice that we ended up stopping back in with her for French fries and another cocktail. Honestly, this is how a night out should work. No rigid itinerary. Just good people, fries, cocktails and one more stop because nobody was ready to go home yet. read more

Super spot for a swanky date night or friends dinner. Intimate space, but the high ceilings keep it from feeling claustrophobic. Excellent bar staff and cocktails. Steak frites are top notch, as is the bone marrow with capers. Laid back swank vibe aided by the reel to reel Mac system read more

Stopped by for a bite before going to a concert last week(party of 4). It was quite busy being mid week and in the middle of the afternoon due to a padres game ending early. Luckily we were seated quickly which seemed to be at the last table that was open so that was nice. We ordered a round of the caviar bump/mezcal shot. I thought that was good but considering how small the bump was as well as the shot was the price was not worth it(which we didn't realize until the check came). Anyways, service was pretty terrible minus the first round of shots we received. The blooming onion was a total bust. Not crispy but extra greasy because all of oil soaked up the onion at the bottom. Def do not recommend. The bolongnese and burger were good so I would get those again in the future if I ever come back. The bone marrow was a bit shady. Barely any marrow in one of the bones(maybe a quarter of the first bone we tried-order comes with 2 bones). The burratta was not the jam. Whatever it comes with did not pair well all together so a nahhh on that as well. Fries that came with the burger was good. Brussels were decent too. We also ordered a chicken sando that was basically forgotten until I mentioned it and even then we ate everything had another round of shots and it still did not come out. Instead of apologizing or asking if we wanted the sandwich still our server insisted it was stil comingl. At any other establishment they would have offered to cancel the order(bc really we didn't want it any more) or just comp the sandwich. Anyways... $300 later($168 of it was for a total of 6 half mezcal shots + teenie weenie bumps) we were full but felt kinda ripped off. read more

One of the most interesting spots in San Diego. On a given day, this friendly "neighborhood" restaurant gives such great vibes and good foods. Don't get me started on the Mac and cheese and burgers here! Especially the service, the staff here is so attentive and welcoming. One of the not so secret- secrets is there is more than meets the eye at this place. Hidden in the back are two speakeasies: Young Blood and Noble Experiment. Both of which I haven't the pleasure to visit yet. But I'm waiting for a special occasion! read more

The restaurant is beautiful and has a trendy, moody atmosphere that makes it feel like a place you'd want to spend the evening. The aesthetic is definitely one of its biggest strengths. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our server took our order and dropped off our food, but that was pretty much the extent of our interaction. We weren't checked on after our meals arrived, our drinks weren't refilled, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention when we needed something. The food was also underwhelming. One thing that especially caught me off guard was the mac and cheese. The menu described it as having cheese crisps, but the "crisps" turned out to be Doritos, which wasn't what I expected based on the description. Overall, nothing we ordered really stood out or made me want to come back. We also tried three cocktails, and only one was a standout. The other two just didn't hit the mark. Overall, Neighborhood has a great atmosphere and is worth visiting if you're looking for a stylish setting, but I was hoping the food, drinks, and service would match the ambiance. Based on this visit, I left feeling disappointed. read more

Came here this past weekend to enjoy a cocktail and some food. I ultimately got one of their specialty drinks that they had going on for the day. The drink was amazing and was very happy with my selection. We also tried their mac & cheese, which was the perfect combo. I did learn one very cool fact about Padres games. I've added that information in the photos that I've taken. I don't want to necessarily share since I need to limit my competition lol. However, what a great way to get people to come in at that time when the place first opens. Within this establishment is a secret speak easy. I highly recommend reservations. That roughly holds through pretty much with any speakeasy bars out here in San Diego. I greatly appreciated our Bartender who was super helpful in selection and knew about cocktails. read more

I can't wait to go back! read more

Came here for a bite before the MCR show at Petco. It's about 3 blocks up, easy walking distance. The entire experience was fantastic from the host to the bartender to the server. Drinks are well made, the food is delicious, and it's NOT astronomically priced. Get the blooming onion! The place is pretty loud and the bathrooms are very dimly lit, but that didn't bother us personally. We will be back to try the speakeasy as well. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and had a great time! Was busy but through the servers did a great job with the space and time allotted to them. Speakeasy in the back was awesome too. Our bartender drew was very kind and helpful designing a drink that best fit us!! Will definitely come back read more

I originally came to Neighborhood for a quick snack but ended up ordering the short rib, Brussels sprouts, sticky toffee pudding, & mocktail. The short rib was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The Brussels sprouts were a bit on the bitter side, so I'd suggest maybe a little more glaze to balance them out. The sticky toffee pudding was good, though slightly overdone in my opinion. The decor is beautiful and the ambience is really welcoming. I loved that we were taken as walk-ins and they have a designated area to hang out until your name is called. We ended up grabbing seats at the bar instead of a table, and it was actually a great spot to enjoy the space. The portions are generous, the food is flavorful, and overall it's a spot I'd happily return to. read more

Very nice bar with a cool vibe...came here on a Friday night and it was pretty busy. They could probably use another server/bartender for nights with Padres games. The drinks were fantastic though, we tried the Rickey, a whiskey sour and a gin martini. Will need to come back and check out the speakeasies! read more

We came here after a padres game and it was great! The food was delicious and the drinks were very good! My favorite was the burrata plate which comes with burrata, prosciutto, asparagus, and bread. We also split the chicken sandwich and pierogies. The service was a little slow but they were busy given it was after a game. Would come back! read more

The neighborhood: 8/10 Came for the speakeasy but stayed for Lauren. Service: 100/10 we had Lauren as the bartender and I would come back anytime just to grab drinks with her! She was fun, personable, attentive and overall just a joy. She really made a birthday celebration feel celebratory - she deserves a raise!! Aesthetic & Ambiance: 8/10 hustle and bustle bar is good, but l if you're coming for speakeasies make a ressy with young blood early, or you might be waiting an hour + for noble experiment. Mixed Berry Fix: 8/10 sweet, sour, strong all the three best qualities. I ended up swapping the bourbon for vodka which made it more like a spiked berry lemonade. read more

This is a great place to grab a drink and a bite at the bar before a Padres game. If you're like me and not into the traditional pre-game bar food, this is a much appreciated elevated experience. Nice, somewhat throwback but classy vibe... definitely has that Consortium group look, which they are very good at. I've had a few different things from the menu here and enjoyed them all; most recently the Pierogis as well as the Young American burger and fries. Highly recommend as a 'neighborhood' bar to pop into if you're looking for a nice classy little spot with a unique feel, good food and a comfortable vibe that is in no way 'divey'. read more

Neighborhood - Young American burger and fries with garlic aioli - New American Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here on a Friday night around 8 or 9 and it was packed! They have food till late which is a draw in the area. I was a little intimidated by the amount of people since it's a small space, but the bartenders and waitresses were super nice and completely unfazed by everyone making do with standing room only. Initially we were waiting to get into Noble Experiment, but a table opened up and we were content to stay there and get some small bites. I had the game day special since the Padres had just played. The hot dog was good! It came with a beer and this medicinal tasting shot/digestive which I did not like though haha. There's a good selection of beers for $8-10 and cocktails for $15. Food was decently priced $20 ish? I'd like to come back again when it's less crowded! read more

Love! Came in early enough to have a short wait time to get seated, once seated we got some great recommendations from our server and food and drinks came out pretty quick. Loved the vibes inside and just chatting with the servers. Food was great and they were really accommodating! Will definitely come back when I'm in SD read more

Walking in, Neighborhood is a fairly small and intimate space with a dark/moody vibe. There's no host stand/area marking where you should wait, and so after standing there for a second, someone came and mentioned that the bar is all open seating (first-come) and that for tables they wrote our name down and would call us back/or we could hang in the back area until a table opened up. Although we didn't have to wait too long, this initial set-up was a bit strange to say the least. The pierogies were a great starter! A lot of flavor from the sour cream and the potatoes. I really liked this one a lot. We also got the Bing Bread which is low-key one of the best things we had! For only $5 don't sleep on this. Airy, fluffy, doughy, it's hard to explain the texture. Maybe an airy pita-like pizza dough? Amazing and a must get. The hood burger was solid and I appreciated the cheese blend of bleu and gruyere. It gives it that extra funk that I don't typically go for but I still enjoyed. The bolognese was a classic home-cooked type of comfort that hit the spot. One other thing that I appreciated were the prices for the items we got. Considering this is a CH Project restaurant, our meal was definitely worth the price and would happily come back. read more

It's been a year since I've last visited, but since I'll be visiting SD again, I'm here to write a very late review. To get to Noble Experiment, you go through the Neighborhood. We had time to kill AND I was hungry so we decided to sit at the bar and order some bone marrow. The bone marrow was delicious! I love when my lips are so oily and glossy from bone marrow. Interior was cute and I remember our server and bartender being so engaging and sweet. Would def come back! read more

Really solid option in downtown San Diego! We came with a group of 4 on a Friday night at 7 and didn't have a wait but it quickly filled up shortly after. The space inside is definitely reminiscent of other CH restaurants but a darker, moodier vibe. A lot of people were walking through to go to the two speakeasies in the back too. They have mostly cocktails and beer for drinks. They do have single options for wine by the glass and a few more bottle options. For beer I was impressed that they had a few sour beer options! You definitely don't see those as much. For food we split the blooming onion and my partner and I got the chicken sandwich and the bean burger. The blooming Onion was pretty good! I like that it's more onion forward than onion rings. The sandwich and burger comes with fries which we weren't expecting. My partner loved his chicken sandwich and said it did come with some heat from the Nashville sauce. The bean burger had really good flavor but was completely falling apart when I was eating it. read more

Why this place doesn't have 4.5-5 stars I can't tell you. It was an awesome experience. From the time we walked in to the time we were seated we had great service. The bartender was awesome as was our greater. The place is a bit dark just so you know. Now the food and drinks. In a word delicious. The wedge salad was really good as was the burger. The burger was small so prepare yourself. It's the size of a slider but delicious. The fries were also really good. The drinks were on point. The only complaint I would have would be the restrooms. Only two "gender neutral" shared between them and a speakeasy Nextdoor. Other than that great time there. read more

Heads up that there is limited seating so be prepared for a wait. If your phone signal is weak, there is a chance they might not reach you with a text message. Went to Noble Experiment first and didn't end up receiving the text measage. Service was very friendly. Bar area is a bit cramped for full meals. Blooming onion was better than Outback's version. It comes with a pair of scissors as the onion is not cut all the way through. Brussels and Hood burger were great, but the real surprise were the fries. Short rib tasted burnt. read more

My friend and I came here for a drink after dinner and it was so cool. We ordered a margarita and a daiquiri which were amazing and came with cute stainless steel straws. The staff were so nice and friendly, and showed us their other speakeasy's, which we'll definitely be back to check out. The aesthetic was unreal, and everything was decorated so perfectly. read more

The perfect date night - I wasn't super in love with the loud music but it was a vibe. It was romantic with the dark lighting, cool low tones of light, two secret speak easy bars in the back if you can get it while You are there go there first to see how long the wait is and then sit down for some delicious food. Obsessed with the blooming onion, had the Cobb salad with no prosciutto for vegetarians and it was simply yet super flavorful. All around great treat read more

Cool, darkly lit, art deco vibed environment... pleasant host at the door last night. .. good music.. neighborhood gets a nice size of crowd.. came here last night and walked over after the comedy show for some good cocktails! Wait list was decent but found great seats at the bar when people were leaving just in time. Chicken brioche burger and the vegetarian black bean burger was a bit on the salty side... the fries were delicious and this is very important! Love the bartenders and the bar.. entertaining to watch them make the drinks!! Come here for the cocktails! read more

Neighborhood absolutely slaps. If I lived in SD I'd be a regular here for sure. Fantastic beer list with some sweet to go options, elevated grub (Hood burger w/ Gruyère + arugula is stupid good), and one of the best store picks of Weller antique 107 I've ever had. Only downside I'd say is the space is fairly small and can get packed very quickly. Service was attentive and food and drinks came out fast. They knocked the vibes out of the park. Seems like every CH spot I visit has its own unique feel and look, but you can still tell it's undeniably a CH spot. Another must visit in SD around the Gaslamp quarter. read more

This was our consistent date night for a very long time. I love this burger, the neighborhood burger, more than any other burger almost ever. It really just hits the spot. It does all the things that you're looking for sweet salty umami. This is a flavor bomb highly recommend it another thing that the neighborhood does really well here is drinks you the drinks here are at another level obviously they have great beers but their cocktail program is something that I seek out I've never had a reservation however, if you go when they first opened or the first hour of service, there's usually no wait and that is my biggest tip. read more

First, the service is great, and the prices are even better. The atmosphere of the place is amazing, and everywhere you look is so aesthetically pleasing. The food is excellent, and I got the Bolognese pasta, which was an easy 10/10. The service was quick, less than 15 minutes. We went to the speakeasy, and oh my lanta, it was so chill. The waiters and bartender were very nice and took the time to explain the chemistry of the drinks. We booked the experience and mentioned that it was an anniversary celebration. Overall, a 10/10 experience, and I can't wait to be back! read more

It was our first time here the vibe is so cute! It is very dim inside and not alot of seating. But a super cool place to grab dinner or drinks with someone. We ended up ordering to go cause the music was a little loud and we weren't expecting it to be a bar bar. We thought it would be your typical dinner spot. Our server was very nice and helped us out quickly. We ordered the blooming onion, wedge salad with fried chicken and the hood burger. Everything was a 10/10! Even if it was to go. Excited to come back and try other things on the menu! read more
