    Ramon is the best bartender!!! My best friend and I had SUCH a blast last night! I think this bar had a massive face-lift or something because I came here about 4 years ago but never wanted to come back. The vibe before was different but this time was like a Neighborhood Bar feel. We only went last night as a unexpected finale to a bar hopping night. I'm so glad we went! We drank ALL the things. Strong drink pours. Amazing conversation. Awesome digital jukebox with a gazillion song options for cheap. Small back patio for smoking. Pool table. Cool patrons. I live stumbling distance away and am so coming back. Shout out to Ramon!! Thanks for such a fun night!

    Asshole bartender!!

    I was looking for a local bar to cap off my birthday but how wrong I was coming into this place!! This is one of the worst bars I've ever been to. The bartender is an absolute jerk!! I am a paying customer and you treat me like a piece of crap?! Who owns this place?!?! Sorry, I'm not the regular alcoholic at the end of the bar barely able to speak. Guess I would get better treatment if I was. Remember these faces in case you come in...run!!!! I would select zero stars if I could!!!

    I love this place. Tyler is the best bartender ever. Definitely recommend this place!

    Dive bar. Lots of locals which is a good thing. Bartenders were nice and happy go lucky. Drinks were fairly inexpensive. Thx for a good time.

    If you like dive bars like I do, this is a great one. Good draft selection and friendly staff.

    Great local watering hole. Have a few friends in the area that frequent. Try to grab a drink there when I'm in the area and have a minute.

    Ordered 2 meat plate with cornbread and Texas toast. The cornbread was nice my Texas toast came out…read moresmooshed but was still tasty. I got pulled pork and the smoked meatloaf. The pulled pork was delicious and the smoked meatloaf had just the right amount of smoke. For sides, I got the bacon, potato salad and the Street corn. I've had both of these sides before and they hit just right each time. I also ordered the bourbon pecan pie to go. This is the first time having the bourbon pecan pie. I did find some shelves in it, which were a little unpleasant, but at least I know that it's real pecans. It does have a strong bourbon flavor so it may not be the best for kids. To drink, I got the guava lemonade. I arrived with my pup and we sat outside. Everybody was super dog friendly. They brought a nice bowl of water for my guy. I ended up taking 2/3 of my meal home because the portions are big enough for two.

    Private parking lot, 2 gender-neutral restrooms and space available for large groups…read more We drove down to La Mesa just to check out this place and it was worth it. We ordered the 'That's My Boy' and 'Meet Meat' pizza plus their fries. Their deep dishes were light and crispy. I loved the sweet sauce, jalapeño and ricotta cheese combo on That's My Boy pizza. The Mastiff Fries had a wonderful crispy texture. They are like thinly sliced potato wedges. (Our order is without cilantro which normally comes with it) The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. They did have two tv screens playing the sports channel and had a variety of draft beer options.

I had never had a smash burger before so again my expectations were a little more than the average person. They did not disappoint the flavors were so delicious. I especially enjoyed the garlic aioli more than I thought I would (it is more like a mayo for this burger). The burger came with a a handful of pickled peppers and mini pickles on side. They were good but felt a little out of place for my taste. This place is definitely more of a bar feel than I expected and smaller than I thought it would be, and the seating was tight with most all the tables being bar height. The last thing to keep in mind the parking lot is small but there is street parking, but is leads to residential area so it can be limited to. Overall the burger had good flavor and I will be back to try more on the menu. If you are looking for a beer with your burger there was a lot of choices. Also, if you are into sports, there are several televisions on with a few different events playing.
