It's a great spot to watch a Padres game, sit down and play some games, or just hang out, talk, and try a few new beers They have several beers we already know and love, but one of my favorite things about AleSmith is coming back to see what new seasonal beers they have. We especially look forward to Oktoberfest season every year, and somehow we almost always end up leaving with a new glass too And I can't leave out one of the main reasons we keep coming back: whenever Zoe's Place food truck is there, we're there too The food is AMAZING. Our favorite is the sampler because you get a little bit of everything, and it's the perfect amount to share between two people while having a few beers. You both actually get to eat well without ending up way too full, and everything we've tried has been delicious. The space itself is huge and such a fun place to spend a few hours without feeling rushed. Whether we're there for a Padres game, Zoe's Place, a seasonal beer, or just one of our usual favorites, we always have a good time. Definitely one of those San Diego spots we keep coming back to!

Of I could, I'd give 4.5 stars. Met up with friends who were visiting from out of town. They used to be local, but moved. Part of a surprise birthday party for one of them, and they'd gathered all of us for a reunion. The front area was pretty full. It was loud with activity, but the staff was awesome and brought over a few tables and barrels for us to use for a few hours. It was definitely warmer in this space since the air conditioner is not connected, but it was great to be separated from the crowd and hear each other better. We were closer to the axe throwing and golf/soccer simulator too. I heard there is a small arcade in the main dining/drinking area. There is a charge to throw axes, but it was already reserved/booked until about 4-5 pm and our party was wrapping up around 3 pm. There's no kitchen, but food trucks are parked outside for anyone who is hungry. The nachos, burgers, and pretzel bites were very good. Restroom are located in that area between the main space in front and where we were in the back. Clean rest rooms. I saw that there are some rooms on the second floor, accessible by stairs, but I saw an elevator too. A lot of parking spaces. Handicap parking located close to the entrance with a ramp to access it. Since we did not gather in the main area, I did not get to check out the tables and spacing thoroughly. From this visit, Alesmith looks like a great place to gather and kickback with adults with good eats and brews. Not too many kids or kid-activities, but there's no restrictions on having kids there. Check with Alesmith first before you go.

We ended up brining in our own food from another restaurant which they allow. The beer was excellent with a wide variety of options. This is a great casual stop with a dog friendly outdoor patio if you are nearby. It is tucked away in more of an industrial area though so we are giving it four stars based on the atmosphere.

It's been 18 years since I visited this bar. Me and my friend went here to hang last two days ago,…read moreI thought the pool table was free, but not anymore. So We decided to just order beer. The beer costs went up to $6 each. I guess the inflation rate effect. However, some bars offered less than $6. It was Saturday afternoon and there was no crowd. I wonder why no one is in here. On the contrary, the bowling lanes were full. The ambiance here is totally different now, kinda of boring. But, if you want a place that is less crowded, this is the bar for you. Overall, I would suggest finding elsewhere. Applebees has also a sports bar and lots of beer options cheaper than Joe's 45. I hope the management will offer a free pool table again to attract patrons. Lastly, the parking is free and has plenty.

Service: We were welcomed as soon as we arrived. Everyone was very nice and very attentive. We ordered 4 items: orange ginza roll, una don, inari and the annin dofu dessert Orange ginza: oh yeah!! I usually hesitate getting citrusy rolls because they end up tasting the same as any other place or the citrus part over powers everything, but this was unique and the flavors balanced each other out. Tempura was also nice and crispy. Also love that they used lemon zest(?). Would order again. Una don: Their sauce for this is SO good and the unagi was cooked perfectly. Would order again. Inari set. I LOVE tofu and you don't see inaris in SD. We were very happy with this. Would order again. Annin dofu - this one was unique. Very almond heavy (not a bad thing). This is the only item I wouldn't get again. The tofu was tasty but I think a lot was going on with this dessert. There was a lot of texture, flavors, and color Not sure if this is normal for this dessert lots going on. there were mochi bits, tofu, matcha sauce, granola, raisins, dried strawberries(?). Fun to look at and try but kind of a lot going on. Overall: Would definitely come back. I do hope they get more employees though because I can see this place getting packed and needing more staff!

They offer American and English beers, too, but come on, this is a German beer bar. When in Rome, er, Berlin, drink what the natives drink. I was greatly impressed by the six or seven non-alcoholic selections. We tried a non-alcoholic Belgian that was very nice. Apparently, you can sometimes get German food from a window around the side of the bar but the cook was AWOL during our visit, which was honestly a major disappointment. Like many people, I need some kind of food or snack to keep me going while I am imbibing. Nevertheless, the beers and atmosphere here were excellent. 21 and up only, although dogs of all ages are welcome.
