First time eating at this spot on cable street, and happy I was able to find parking as it seems it may be a bit tough on weekends/busy nights. 10/10 spicy garlic wings for me!!! I asked for the most spice possible and my server brought a side of the sauce, and it's indeed spicy in the perfect way :) the sauce is a bit cooked into the skin, so it's not a "saucy" wing, but I personally love that & it was cooked perfectly! The margarita fell a bit short but I didn't mind, the wings and dive-vibe this place gave me enough joy :) read more

am i picky... or just wrong? wasn't a huge fan of this place tbh. items on the menu sound great, they have great reviews, and the general consensus is that everyone loves it but i don't. it was fun to order a bunch of dishes and go family style but none really stood out to me. the famous wings were fine, i thought the short ribs were over sauced, fish was good, fried rice wasn't anything to write home about and the noodles felt a little mushy or overcooked maybe it's just not for my palette. fun place to go to with friends but food wasn't for me read more

Wonderful dinner last night. The place is loud as hell but a super fun atmosphere and the window walls were all pulled open allowing in fresh air. Service was pretty good all evening except for a late dish being served. Great people watching, delicious food, an expansive menu and they have their legendary peanut butter whiskey. Delish! My crispy noodle pork and veggie dish was wonderful and I paired it with my favorite beer on the planet. They have Pliny the Elder (IYKYK) at $10 for a pint. Amazing stuff. read more

I feel like OB Noodle House is one of those San Diego classics that everyone has been to at least once. I know people who love this place so much that it is part of their regular rotation. Me being born and raised in San Diego without ever trying it almost felt like a crime. I finally decided it was time to pay a visit. We came with a party of five. The seating setup was a little different from what I expected. We ended up at a long picnic table style booth that we shared with another couple. It honestly was not an issue since there was still plenty of space. It was just a different concept for me. The servers were super friendly and bubbly. They moved fast too. Our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Char-grilled Beef, Eggroll & Cold Vermicelli Noodles, Fresh Spring Rolls, the famous Spicy Garlic Wings plus the Korean Beef Short Ribs. The Fresh Spring Rolls were good. They were filled with shrimp, thinly sliced pork, lettuce, vermicelli noodles, basil plus bean sprouts. The peanut plum hoisin sauce definitely carried them though. Add some of their chili sauce into it too. Delicious. Now for the Spicy Garlic Wings. I know everyone raves about these, but honestly, based on the ones we got, I feel like I would rather have Wingstop. They were really dry. I even asked a friend who has been here before if that was normal. Apparently they are usually not like that, so maybe we just caught them on a bad day or they spent a little too much time in the fryer. Either way, they had definitely lost a lot of their moisture. The flavor was there, but the dryness made it hard for them to really stand out to me. My favorite was easily the Korean Beef Short Ribs. They came out sizzling over caramelized onions with a generous amount of marinated meat. Great flavor. Great texture. Delicious. This was probably the one dish I would order again without thinking twice. The Char-grilled Beef, Eggroll & Cold Vermicelli Noodles were fine. The noodles were a little too bouncy and chewy for me. They almost tasted slightly underdone. The grilled beef had great flavor though. Once everything was mixed with the fish sauce, it came together much better. read more

This place is out of bounds! Crazy delicious! Love coming here with the fam! It's centrally located in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood, OB Noodle House & Sake Bar is famous for its savory Vietnamese-fusion cuisine, vibrant pub-style atmosphere, and energetic bar scene. They provide great service and exceptional food options- The absolute star of the menu are the spicy garlic wings. These deep-fried, house-marinated wings are tossed in a sweet, savory, and aggressively spicy chili-satay oil, often served with a side of ranch 10/10. They are finger licking good! I flock here for their wagyu korean-style short ribs (topped with caramelized onions and cilantro), they are perfectly tender and caramelized- chef's kiss! My wife enjoys their house-special fried rice with beef, shrimp, and chinese sausage 10/10. Absolutely delicious! They also have a great selection of IPA's- my personal favorite is the Mike Hess Into The Sunset Blood Orange. It's crisp, refreshing, and hits the palate every time 10/10. Definitely worth a visit! You won't be disappointed! read more

OB noodle house and sake, this place rocks. This is the smaller location in ocean beach on Cable street. We came in tonight for dinner and as always we were blown away with how great the food profiles are. Started out with spring rolls and bao bun tacos, cuz taco Tuesday, and not those tacos are freaking delicious. Puffy bao bun and delicious meat. The spring rolls are a favorite of mine, fresh and delicious dipping sauce. The chow fun beef and veggies (dry stir fry) was absolutely the best I've ever had. Delicious noodles and the beef and veggies were cooked to perfection. My wife had the #9 special with beef and brisket and it too was full of flavor, delicious broth and noodles and the beat was superb. The place gets crowded quickly and there isn't a whole lot of room at this location. We sat at the bar, the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable on their menu. Overall this place is fantastic and absolutely worth eating there. read more

This place is really good. Our server was Jake, he was awesome. He offered suggestions for menu items. We took him recommendation and we are glad we did. The chicken wings had just the right amount of heat. The fried spring rolls were good. The House Fried Rice and Dry Beef Chow Fun were excellent. The entire stay worked as a team and service was great. It's OB so parking is a challenge, but it's worth it! read more

I liked this place overall! The service was decent. It wasn't stand out but it was good enough. We sat outside and I don't think the heaters were working but that's also alright. The chicken wings were good. I think they could have been a little bit spicier. I also had the rare steak and brisket pho which was pretty good. My cocktail was also good and not too sweet which I appreciated. read more

We have walked by, parked in front, looked inside, but never went in...LOL! But I felt we should try them out since they are dog friendly. Since we were there right after they opened, we sat in the front table so Cako could be in the corner. She watched all the workers from where she was standing. I ordered a Hawaiian inspired cocktail which was very good! Apparently, they have a signature peanut butter shot that I will have to try next time. We started with the fresh spring rolls with shrimp. Great peanut sauce! I ordered the chicken bun vermicelli, really good! Scooter had the chicken teriyaki. It was a great way to try out OB Noodle and they were good choices! It started to get busy. We were lucky we came early. The interior is cool and there's definitely a chill vibe. Our server, can't remember her name, was great! Friendly and excited it was our first time. Definitely worth checking out! Cako Approves! read more

Came here due to its good reviews and thousands of reviews, but what a disappointment. The pho broth lukewarm. That's the biggest red flag. The bowl is also the tiniest bowl I've ever seen for pho. I had chosen the rare steak, flank brisket, and tripe. I had multiple pieces that I could barely chew, not sure what it was. The broth was flavorful, but on the salty side. Would not come back here for pho. Places like a beer garden, very spacious, indoor and outdoor. So if you're here for a drink and some bar food, okay. Def not authentic, sadly. read more

This is the birthplace of Skrewball, the cloying peanut butter whiskey. But you probably came here for noodles, not booze (although they do have quite the beer and alcohol menu). You can get Skrewball here but you shouldn't. Ask for the ORIGINAL peanut butter whiskey. It tastes nothing like Skrewball. It's like drinking a shot of fresh, slightly boozy, blended peanut butter. It is fantastic. (Apparently, they cannot bottle and sell the fresh stuff because, well, it's freshly made and just wouldn't be able to be practically sold commercially. That makes sense, unfortunately.) The food is fine here. It's nothing amazing but it will hit the spot. For an appetizer, we tried the fried dumplings. The menu notes they are deep fried and indeed they were. I would say there were left in the fryer a bit too long. They tasted good but they could have been better. For my entree, I tried the 1502 Special pho, which is supposedly made with kobe wagyu beef. The beef was fine, although it tasted like normal beef to me, and there were a ton of rice noodles in my bowl. The star of the dish was the broth itself which had a good flavor. There are many other places in San Diego with better pho but this one was just fine. The cold bun (vermicelli) noodles with chicken was fine. This is not the most exciting dish but it is fine for what it is. They have some delicious non-alcoholic fruity drinks, like mango and pineapple. Don't miss out on those, if you aren't into alcohol. Parking is absolutely atrocious in this area. Good luck to you. This is a very casual and friendly neighborhood hang. Make sure to get the ORIGINAL peanut butter whiskey. It's a delicious shot of heaven. read more

First off, major kudos to our incredible server Mo - she made the best recommendations, was incredibly kind to our family, and really made our experience a five star. What a gem!! The drink menu had so may great choices. The Paloma and the Dead Ass Delicious were must-orders. I don't know if you can go wrong with anything on this menu! Everything was so yummy! Bonus?

Overdue review for OB Noodle House in Ocean Beach offers asian fusion food. As with many restaurants in the area, parking is a challenge and a pain in the derrière. This restaurant was featured on DDD Diners Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri, whose original name is Ferry FYI. There's indoor, outdoor seating and is dog friendly at this casual restaurant that would be considered a diner dive. Service from staffers was great, helpful and attentive but it should be because they automatically charge your bill with a gratuity service charge, so make sure you do NOT pay an additional tip!! The menu highlighted many selections but we chose the recommendations from DDD's spikey bleach blonde host. The bowl of Pho was our starter, the bowl was hugh and plentiful, after a few sips of the broth, I was not interested in eating the noodles, as I had enough and wanted to eat the other foods we ordered. Honestly, wouldn't order pho again, it was good but not the best pho I've had just solely based on the broth's taste. The bbq wings were very tasty, however, I prefer wings to be crunchy and these appeared to have been baked and not crunchy but very smoky and flavorful. My friend had the pork belly taco made with the soft bun and he liked it. The sizzling Basa whole fish and the sizzling short ribs were both dazzling show stoppers in presentation both delicious. But it seems both the fish and the short ribs were marinated in the same seasoned concoctions as they tasted the same however, the short ribs did taste best, hands down! The upbeat music blasting as we dined added a great vibe. This restaurant attracts all diners with the expansive food selections that there's something for everyone. While I'm not a hugh fan of Guy Ferry Fieri, but the show featuring this restaurant caught my attention enough for me to visit. My next visit will have to include a pan fried noodle dish, after all that's in the name of the restaurant. When in Ocean Beach, a diner dive with fantastic asian fusion foods is the OB Noodle House for Asian fusion foods was highly recommended by DDD's Guy Ferry/Fieri Recommend read more

I dined in here for the first time this past Saturday, as it was walking distance from a friend's place and we were deciding where to go for dinner. Fortunately there was no wait even though there were a lot of people inside. I have gotten takeout here awhile ago back in 2020 for their beef dry noodles, and haven't been back since so I was excited to try some of their other dishes. My group of 3 shared their House special fried rice, 1502 special pho noodle soup, and their sizzling fish dish all with gluten free modifications. Service was very fast, and I appreciate how attentive they were. Everything was really tasty and decent sized portions for us to share. For almost $20 an entree, it is a bit steep in my opinion for Asian food. I would prefer going to Convoy instead, however being in OB this place isn't bad if you're in the area already and don't want to drive out elsewhere. I do appreciate how mindful they are with dietary restrictions and modifications compared to other Asian restaurants I've been to, so that is a plus. They also have a full bar available. Parking might be tricky as I think it's only street parking and it's near a few major streets. read more

Friendly staff fun atmosphere which helped because of some mix ups with orders that didn't get put in that made for long confusing waits for all of our food to come out. Luckily the staff was attentive to issues and helpful in rectifying their mistakes. The delicious food of course helped and the OG peanut butter shots read more

New to San Diego and someone recommended OB's Noodle House Attentive service; lots of seating and good vibes. We ordered spicy wings! Not spicy but definitely have an Asia flair.

This is my second visit to OB Noodle House. It's a fun, super-casual, not quite dive bar atmosphere. Both times I've been here (once for lunch mid-week and dinner today: Sunday 03/01/26) the service has been very friendly and efficient. Tonight they were super busy, but our server still had time to recommend a couple of his favorite things. We ordered 12 wings, the chicken lettuce wraps, the #10 Pho, and the Hong Kong seafood chow fun. Everything was amazing, full of flavor, well thought out, and delicious. The only thing about OB Noodle House that makes me sad, is that I live way up in the North County and can't eat here as often as I want! If you are lucky enough to be in the area, I can highly recommend this unassuming little corner place for some of the best Asian fusion dishes anywhere in California read more

I've ate here once and it was good, but I'm really just here for the OG Skrewball shot TBH. Whatever is in it... Oh my gosh I love it so much. I know it's whiskey and other stuff but oh my gosh, I'm so in love. Hahaha. I don't even drink much at all. But like if I'm in the area (I live in the north county) I will definitely take a few shots! all the servers here and the people at the bar and everyone is just so friendly and efficient. The ambience is great... Super chill! of course, dog friendly. :) overall great vibes. I wish I had a photo, but I have a video of me taking a shot, but I accidentally deleted it. Anyways, this place is great. read more

Even though I've lived in SD for awhile, I've never tried OB noodle house. I had always heard good things about it and also knew that Guy Fieri visited before which helped boost its popularity. Me and my partner ended up getting the spicy garlic wings as an appetizer as we heard that was what they were most famous for. We also ended up getting a pho and the charbroiled chicken with rice to try out. Although the wings had a good garlic flavor and were crispy I would say that they were not that big. I have had small wings before which isn't usually an issue but for the price I paid I would have expected some larger wings. My partner got the pho and we both felt that the broth was somewhat sweet. She commented that overall the pho was just OK but nothing special. As for the rice dish, the amount of chicken to rice was disappointing as the plate ended up being mostly rice. Flavor wise it did have a charbroiled taste to the chicken and the pickled veggies on the side weren't bad either. Service was great, absolutely no problems there. Overall, the food here does not taste bad but it's not exceptional. Part of the issue here is also the price unfortunately since I feel it doesn't justify the amount of protein you get on certain dishes( such as the wings or rice plate). If you wanted Vietnamese food there are other places you can go to in SD to get a better experience that would also be cheaper as well. read more

It's a very different pho experience. I ordered the original pho. The soup did have the full spectrum of unami. Slightly less herbal aroma than average pho, I think. But what made this very different than usual, was the soup didn't feel complete when I tasted it. Until I put the lime juice in it. It added the punch that soup needed, and flavor felt complete. And that's what I thought was interesting. Usually, lime in pho is optional, at least for me. This is a first pho where I have to have lime juice in it for full experience. read more

I ordered the wings, chicken lettuce wraps, and crispy shrimp. The wings were definitely the star. Super crispy, great flavor, and exactly the kind of snack you want with a cold drink. The shrimp wasn't really my taste and the lettuce wraps felt a bit generic, but everything came out hot and fresh. Even with that, I'm definitely coming back. Their noodle dishes looked incredible and I feel like that is where they really shine. They also have a full drink menu and even mocktails which I love. I'm excited to return and try some of their signature items next time. read more

We came for late night eats around 8:30pm on a Tuesday night. The hostess was super nice and got us seated really fast! She was also really attentive about taking our order! House Special Fried Rice - 2/5 - It didn't have that much flavor and was quite oily. It was cool that it had Chinese sausage in it though! Half Order (6 piece) Spicy Garlic Wings - 4/5 - We typically skip the cilantro and ranch. Even so, the wings themselves were still pretty good! They were fried nicely, not too oily, well seasoned, and the right amount of garlic flavor! Tangerine Breeze - 5/5 - It was on the strong side, but didn't overpower the fruity flavor of the drink! So I felt like it was a very well made drink and would recommend! read more

I've been coming here for years thanks to my sister who lives in SD. This is where she usually takes me for a bite before we watch the sunset on the other side where the cliffs are. That's where the view is. This time around, our dad was with us, visiting from Asia for the holidays. We got our usual order. Pho, spring rolls, the fish and that rice that is so damn good. I keep forgetting that it happens to be spicy. I'm always pleasantly surprised when I get a bite that happens to be spicier than usual. Everything we got was so good. All plates and bowls were cleaned. You can tell we were so into our meal because the moment our items were dropped off the table, we all went silent and shifted to chow time. Service here has never been consistent. It's always a hit or miss. We had a super late lunch the day after thanksgiving after spending a few hours at Sea World so we were starving. Our server Dominic was great. He was super busy tending to all the tables outside. We were howe super put off by the runner who dropped off our food. He initially dropped off a set of plates that my sister thought were too small so she asked him for the bigger ones. His facial expression indicated he was annoyed with her request. When he came back with the plates, someone else at our table asked for another item and this time around he was even more irritated. read more

Stopped in again and overall had a solid experience. The house margarita wasn't great, it's premade and overpriced for what it was. The Paloma tasted much better. They have a ton of drink options and new holiday cocktails. The bartender was super chill and friendly. Food-wise, everything hit the spot. The spicy garlic chicken wings were really good, the combo pho was comforting and flavorful, and the combo fried rice with the Chinese sausage was delicious. Service was pretty quick and it was a bit busy on a Sunday night. The seating was uncomfortable and we had a couple across from us, but we still enjoyed our food. read more

I never like to leave a bad review. It doesn't matter if the waiter is awful, the food comes out really, really late because he forgets to pick it up, even though you tell him you're on a time schedule. It doesn't matter if the music is so loud it gives us all a headache. These are the things I never want to put in a review. It is our job as San Diego Foodies and Carlsbad Foodies to tell you what to order when you go. So here it is: even if your waiter tell you it's not that spicy.... If you enjoy very spicy food, order the house fried rice. And please don't ask for less spice because they put it into the mix so there's no room for adjustments. They add so many interesting vegetables providing crunch, so many different meats and when you hit a 'flavor spot' in the rice, you know why people order it.

PARKING -arrive early because it's only street parking and it's likely that you'll have to walk far. We usually get a spot within a few blocks. That's the main reason why I wouldn't give 5 star. GUEST LIST -there's usually a line and list of parties so if you have a group, plan ahead and get there early. We got in thankfully because we came early and there were only 2 of us. FOOD We like the garlic edamame and my personal favorite is the Tofu Dry Chow Fun. Even if you don't like tofu, still try the Dry Chow Fun with your preferred protein. The lettuce wraps are great- I get the tofu ones and my husband prefers chicken. DRINKS My only pic is of my favorite drink. Now that I'm sober, I'm not drinking but honestly, this was my go-to drink. Also, they have a peanut butter whiskey shot that is TO DIE FOR. We would usually get a round of them and even had out-of-town family come in and try the shots and they became huge Peanut Butter whiskey fans. The servers are sworn to secrecy on the recipe for this Raspberry Cali Creamin' and the Peanut Butter Whiskey and I can see why. They're such good drinks! read more

Prices rising faster than a moon launch here.. Seriously, a simple bowl of pho has recently shot up to $17.95. The ribs went up from $24.95 to $27.95. Thus is just after another price increase late last year. I know prices have gone up in this terrible economy, 5-6% on average. But 10-15% increases here seem greedy and it just isn't worth it anymore. I can't find a restaurant on Convoy or East San Diego where pho is more than $15. Sure, they were on DDD and got some recognition, but that was quite a few years ago, and there's not been one single new item added to the menu in years. No food specials, or Happy Hour for food or appetizers. (Decent beer and shots Happy Hour though.) We have eaten here more than 100 times so quite familiar with it. We used to order their famous chicken wings, delicious and garlicky, but can be dry at times as they are deep fried without batter, just coated in delicious spice rubs. However we noticed our dozen wings order started having far more flats than drums. Now, anatomy lesson here lol, all chickens provide the exact same amount of both. One time at the table next to us they got at least 10 drums and just 2 flats. (There drummets have far more meat!) The next visit when we asked for extra drums, they said the Cambodian chefs decide on the ratio, they have no control over it. (Not sure why their nationality was mentioned..?) Our next order we got 9 flats and 3 drums, so that was our last order of this delicacy. We miss it. We also noticed there BBQ Shrimp being super dry and the sizzling bass fish suddenly made my friend's tongue numb, for 2 days. Weird, some sort of allergy, not the restaurant's fault but didn't happen when we previously ordered this. I usually order the cold vermicelli noodles with pork, always good. The spring rolls are delicious but prices raised from $9.95 to $10.95 last year, recently went up to $12.95! Bye, we'll miss you, 30% increase in price over the past year, wow. Positives, well, nice atmosphere, superstar employees, when we used to sit at the bar Wayne was fantastic. All the food is good. I know the owners created Screwball peanut butter whiskey and have done quite well, selling it to a big liquor conglomerate a couple years back. Happy for their success but can't really afford OB Noodle House anymore. read more

OB Noodle House is an authentic feeling Asian noodle house with a lot of family style seating and dishes. Parking is tough in the area as it is only street parking. We were seated quickly on a Saturday evening at a picnic style table with another family of four. They do have smaller tables for individual parties, but they do have a bunch of larger picnic table style tables for larger parties or communal type seating. It wasn't a problem for us. Food came out super quick and was always hot and fresh. We ordered the spring rolls, chicken lettuce wraps and pan seared noodles with beef and vegetables. Everything was good, but I wasn't expecting the pan seared noodles to be fried and crispy. They were still good and softened up with soaked in the brown sauce, but just not what I was expecting. The chicken lettuce wraps were excellent, but I also expected some additional side toppings. It just came with the filling mixture, lettuce wraps and a sauce. Spring rolls were fresh and large. Overall, a good experience and I'd just ask about the noodle type next time before ordering. read more

Just "wingin'" it... Came here specifically to try the Spicy Garlic Chicken Wings after seeing Guy Fieri hype them up on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Honestly? They were just... okay. The heat was there but the flavor profile didn't quite hit it for me. They were a bit one-note, and while the crunch was decent, they weren't anything to write home about. The OB Special Pho was okay too. There was a strange, lingering taste, almost like residual tap water from the bowl or the noodle prep. That threw off the whole broth for us. We grabbed a cocktail at the bar; the flavor was good for a non-drinker, because it felt pretty weak on the pour. The vibe of the place is great, very classic Ocean Beach energy, and the service was quick. If you're in the area and want a spicy snack with a beer, they do the job, but I wouldn't go out of my way just for the wings again. read more

Mediocre experience that was compounded by high expectations. I'll start with the good: the pho broth is pretty solid. The not so good: the music is way too loud. Everyone else has already said this, but it's true. It smelled like actual garbage can juice in the communal sitting area. The floors, tables, and chairs were sticky so everything just felt kinda grimy. We moved inside because it really did smell bad. One pair of our chopsticks were dirty. The pho broth to noodle ratio was off in my opinion. I think the bowl they use is just too small because it couldn't contain the noodles and vegetables and an appropriate amount of broth. Ultimately I don't think I'd return because it was not a unique bowl of food and nothing else in the experience really sold me. read more

Came here right before the Covid pandemic and only had an average experience then. Came back almost 6 years later and my mind has changed! I ordered the pho, which had brisket and rare steak. The broth was delicious. I usually add extras like hoisin and sriracha but it didn't need it. The spicy garlic wings we shared were tasty. The mango sake was great. Egg rolls were fresh. My friend ordered the fried rice but he didn't really like it and I remember not loving it back then either. Service is really nice from each employee. Very busy, most likely a wait, but can kill time at the bar next door. They also have a sister restaurant in the neighborhood so want to try that as well. read more

Fuck this place lol. Paid $22 for this sad box of fried rice! We got there at 920 and they said last seating is at 915 and kitchen closes at 930? What restaurant has stupid rules like this?! Especially when there's a bunch of people outside waiting to come in and eat and they don't close until 10! Never coming back to this shit hole. Hopefully the DDD episode wears off on people so they stop coming here for shit service and portions. Unreal. read more

Came to try this place again tonight and get some of those bomb ribs! Everything was great, soft noodles were tasty, my fried rice had quite a bit of chili flakes, so spicier than I would have wanted but still tasty, and the ribs... delicious. All was great UNTIL... on the table 1 foot away... comes crawling over... Christina cockroach asking to hang out! A cockroach was walking all over the table and when I went to tell a worker she just didnt really know what to do? Took about 10 minutes for her to come back to look for it. She got grossed out/scared and called a guy from the back to come out. He came out and killed it with what looked like a cleaning rag and nothing was really said? No apology for the uninvited guest or anything? I wound up just asking for my check and a box and scaddadled out of there. The food is delicious but I don't like seeing insects where I eat. read more

We had a good visit here while my partner had a conference in San Diego. We dropped by for dinner without a reservation and were able to get seated pretty quickly. The inside is a casual yet comfortable vibe that seems akin to the normal San Diego restaurants that we've visited so far. I came to try their dry noodles, which were really good and my partner was really excited about trying their wings because he's heard amazing things about them online. We also got some melon, flavored sake, and I got a cocktail with Mezcal, both of which were good. The only thing I didn't really enjoy where the spring rolls which didn't taste like much, but I did enjoy the peanut sauce. Service here was friendly and quick so this seems like a good spot to drop by if you really enjoy noodles wings or pho! read more

Great ambiance here, nice servers and I greatly appreciate the outdoor heaters. My issue with this place is the food unfortunately - it's extremely bland and boring. Not a ton of flavor. Additionally the Guinness was disappointing - horrible pour, they didn't let it settle and it didn't even come in a proper Guinness glass. All the other drinks i've had here have been great so if you are looking for a chill spot to come for a drink (i'd just recommend to steer clear of the Guinness) then this is a great spot. read more
