What craft beer place doesn't allow kids? And they were rude about it too... We only came for big dawgs anyway not their trash beer. No wonder they only had like 4 people in there on a weekend... read more

If you're a Real Madrid fan, Over the Tap is the place in San Diego. This is the home of Peña Madridista San Diego, officially recognized by Real Madrid, and every match day feels like you're part of something bigger. On match days, the atmosphere is something special. The place fills with Madridistas, chants echo throughout the bar, and it genuinely feels like a piece of the Bernabéu right here in San Diego. What makes it even more unique is the attention to detail -- from Real Madrid memorabilia on display, including a seat from the Santiago Bernabéu itself!!! to their signature "Minuto 93" beer on tap, a perfect nod to the club's history of late-game magic. The staff is fantastic -- friendly, and great at handling the big crowds that show up for matches. Drinks are always flowing, with a solid selection that keeps everyone happy throughout the game. Whether you're a lifelong Madridista or just looking for an incredible soccer atmosphere, this place delivers every single time. This is more than a bar -- it's a home for the Madridista community in San Diego. Hala Madrid! read more

So I stopped in here thinking it was actually a brewery. Thrown a curve. Misinformed. Yes, when I did the Yelp and Google search for the area, it came up and, honestly I made the mistake of not reading the reviews.. It's ok though, a beer bar is the next best thing for me! And I wasn't the slightest bit disappointed, as they did have a well-rounded, eclectic selection of beers, ciders and kombuchas on tap. I mean really, this was probably the first place in a very long time that I had tried only 3 of the beers they had on the board. The bar gal was very friendly and offered me anything to taste also. It was somewhat impressive for a small place near the Chick Fil-A and In-N-Out burger in National City. There are plenty of other businesses here too in the same parking lot for the spillovers that are impatient to wait in those long lines, especially when one is hungry. Here, I chose a 5.4% brown ale named "Who's That? Brown!" from Tarantula Hill brewing, that was nutty yet light bodied. A simply fantastic beer like their "Liquid Candy IPA" that I had at Phil's BBQ months ago. Most of the beers were one-offs and overall less commonly found around town. The vibe here was-bring your own food, super-friendly bartenders, 91x type music- and though I was solo, it was a super chill experience and left happy even after just one beer. This is a place I would return to. read more

Really cool bar located in National City between the Miles Of Cars and the 5 freeway, that has a great selection of local beers and plenty of TV's for watching sporting events with friends. It's in a prime location with loads of eateries (mostly of the fast variety and within walking distance), extra parking in the back of the complex and one of the best features of this establishment is that you can bring outside foods during your visit, which allowed me to enjoy an In-N-Out protein style burger while downing great craft beer. The bar has an indoor and outdoor section to chill around but seating is limited though they make the best of it. It was busy too probably because the Padres were playing an important game and lots of locals were geared up cheering them on. Definitely would have to come back and check their beer rotations. Oh they're dog friendly too! read more

I enjoy coming to this bar specially Friday they have live karaoke and Saturday they have food outside they sale

We went here for the first time after seeing this place in the business plaza for a while. Now that COVID restrictions are slowly being lifted, we are starting to go out more. We met the owner, George, who was kind enough to have a conversation telling us a little bit about how he started the business. The place has a standard beer selection, but what I love most is that it isn't too crowded, it is a gorgeous and clean spot, amazing customer service, and it is nearby. It is nice to see spots like these opening up in the neighborhood uplifting the community. I ordered a michelada in honor of Cinco de Mayo. It was pretty tasty and I was pleased. We are thankful for the hospitality and will be coming back for sure!!! read more

Had a great experience for my first time. The man (didn't catch his name but he was wearing glasses) who helped was super nice and didn't make you feel dumb when you mentioned you didn't know what you liked or when you would say you didn't normally drink beer. He was able to find all of us something we loved whether it was beer, cider, kombucha, or seltzers. Loved the music and how chill it is. Definitely will be back! read more

Relaxed chill atmosphere. So many beers on tap during this craziness, so nice to see! Had some bomb sours to choose from, tons of craft and ipa, lady had some booch. My sour pour was HUGE, no bs 6 oz sour, I was stoked! They even had some beers from south of the boarder. Was very knowledgeable and gave the lady a taster to help her decide. Open patio, tons of tvs, good music Good beer, reasonable prices, great atmosphere, will be back soon read more

My husband and I were walking to Chipotle and we randomly passed by this place. We were both shocked to found a craft beer bar in our neighborhood. We usually go to Machete Beer House for our craft beer but this place is so much more convenient. The owner, Jorge, is very welcoming and is very receptive to all our questions. The variety of beers here is very good and they do rotate the taps frequently. The best part of this place is that the pub is quite large and the patio is comfy. Also, there's plenty of parking in the area unlike Machete. We'll definitely be back and become regulars here! read more

The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, from the staff to the customers. It's never a dull moment, with TV's in all directions, to catch any sporting event's that may be on that day.. Most importantly it's the spot where I met my wife, 3 years strong now and we always look forward for our next stop @overthetapnc read more

Absolutely unacceptable service. We went to enjoy the fights. The owner made it clear there was a 3 drink minimum then debates us about getting enough barstools...AT THE BAR! I'm sorry you didn't buy enough chairs for your establishment. I don't know what you hoped to accomplish trying to police who has a barstool at your bar. I brought cash but the owner kept hassling me for a card, telling me about the 3 drink minimum. Yes...we heard the first several times. Friend offers to cover my beers. No big deal. I came back from the bathroom and the owner had double charged my friends for my beer. No problem, easy to solve...but she was so rude! She waved her finger in my friend's face and spoke to us like we were her 5 year old children. I actually told her she has no business serving people. I've never said that to anyone! We all live a block away. She just turned quite a few regular beer drinkers off over one beer. Not how you run a business. We won't be back. read more

Super friendly service, great patio, delicious selections, good music, and most importantly truly dog friendly!! read more

I've been here twice now, so I think a review is in order. I have to say, I live in East County and stopped by as I was in the area. I find myself now coming up with reasons to be in the area! It goes without saying that the weather on the outside patio is nice as it's not far from the coast. It is also well-located within plenty of great places to eat. Great "industrial" type furnishings that go with the early National City theme, big screen TVs and great music. Getting to the important part, they have a drink menu with at least 15-20 craft beer choices along with such standouts as Saki and Kombucha. And, check this out; they have a deal with a local restaurant for Sushi! The craft beer menu is very diversified, so surely you'll find something you like. What I like personally is they have a few craft beer choices from a brewery in Baja. I understand Over the Tap is only one of two places in San Diego County where these Baja brews are available. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. One guy even struck up a conversation with me about my Prius. Now who does that! read more
