You never know what you will find in North Park. This was a lucky score hidden in the Arts District. We needed a place to have a quick snack and this place called us over with its big outdoor patio and open air seating. We walked in and could not believe the revolving tap list. They definitely have a beer for everyone's choice. The pretzel menu was also a pleasure to peruse and we knew we had to try one. This is their specialty as these pretzels are hand rolled with influences from Germany, Philadelphia and NY. They serve them with your choice of beer dipping sauce and cheese. We decided on the Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel. It was huge and by far the best tasting pretzel I think I have ever tasted. Soft and great texture. You could tell great care was taken in the creation of this pretzel and so yummy with the cheese. They also offer signature pretzel pizzas, pretzel sandwiches and other pub grub. Service was helpful and the restaurant is very clean. Happy Hour is offered daily M-F 3:00 - 6:00pm. Great place to watch a game too as lots of big screens. Always remember "Life is a pretzel so enjoy the twists and turns." read more

Pretzels & Pints has been one of my absolute favorite spots since they opened (as California Tap Room) back in 2016! It is always a stop when I have friends visiting. They always have an extensive tap list of local beers, as well as seltzers and NA options as well. The pretzels, sandwiches, pizzas are all delicious. On top of that, the staff is top notch and some of the friendliest folks around. Having the outdoor space is great, but when it's really warm out, their AC is fantastic. This is a must stop for any North Park pub crawl or day out on the town. read more

This place has such an awesome, chill vibe! Both food and drink are ordered by walking up to the bar. They have a great selection of pretzels and pretzel sandwiches as well as beer. I came here for Wednesday night bingo. The atmosphere was really fun and it's a very well organized event. I was able to sit outdoors and enjoy the evening out in the fresh air. Indoor seating is fairly limited. read more

I wanted to meet up with a good friend and I wanted a place that had cool vibes and some good beers on tap. Decided to visit Pretzels & Pints in North Park and what a great choice made. The tap list was amazing, a beer for even the pickiest beer snob. Not to mentions their great selection of pretzels as well? Kicked back with some great conversations with my friend, enjoyed some great brews, a pretzel and finished it off with some tastily nachos. The service was unbelievable, I felt both welcomed and appreciated. As an added bonus this place is "dog friendly" and they support the North Park Little League to a large extent! All in All My friend and I had a terrific time and without a doubt we will be back, and hopefully sometime soon. I love supporting local businesses and especially this one for sure. I highly recommend Pretzels & Pints and I promise You won't be disappointed. "Cheers" read more

This will forever be my favorite and go-to pretzel place! I love pretzels and these are the best! The owner and staff are super personable and ready to help. It's clean and there is plenty of seating. read more

Pretzels and pints is always a great time. Their philly pretzels are so soft (my favorite) and they always have a variety of beers/ciders/etc. The ambiance is the best part. I've been for superbowl sunday, trivia nights, and just casually. Service is always friendly. Their cheese for pretzel dipping is great, mustard is very strong but good. One of my favorite spots in SD. read more

This place is cool. I didn't try the pretzels this time around but they have a nice seating area. If you like beer this place has a good selection. I had one of their seltzer's which was actually really good, you get your money's worth. I would come back here. Definitely a place to be at for a game or in the afternoon if your in the area. I'll have to come back a different time and check out the vibe. read more

Nice selection of beer and some satisfying pub grub. Like the pretzels and lean towards the NY style. Their beers are a mix and usually a good selection. Great place to stop if you are shopping or browsing in the neighborhood. read more

God I love a good soft pretzel. Beer selection is good but small. Parking is a major pain thoughtfully

I cannot speak to the pints, but the pretzels are on point! We ordered the NY style and the Bavarian. Both had a nice texture and the Bavarian remained chewy when reheated even two days later. The size of the Bavarian did not disappoint and it took 3 family members to finish it all. Definitely will return for another pretzel treat when in the area. read more

I came here on a Tuesday just in time for happy hour. This is one of those places that I have known about for a long time but never made the time to actually go. I'm so glad I finally did because this bar is such a cool vibe. Upon walking in it feels homey and nostalgic. We ordered the jumbo Bavarian pretzel. It was warm and fresh. The beer cheese to dip the pretzel in was the best part. It was the best pairing to have with our beers. I will definitely be back! read more

Loved visiting on a Friday during happy hour. My husband and I wanted to catch the Padres game and enjoy beers and this place was perfect for it. There are a ton of TVs both inside and outdoors on the patio. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful as we chose what to order. We got draft beers ($2 off during happy hour) and the jumbo pretzel with honey mustard and ground mustard. YUM! If you don't know, this is a Phillys bar through and through. As someone from NJ it kind of felt like home to be transported back east considering all of the decor, pretzels, Italian ice, and overall vibes. The place is very dog friendly so we brought our dog Maya out on the patio while we watched the game. Loved the experience and can't wait to come back for happy hour again sometime! read more

The BEST Pretzel I've had. Warm with the perfect crunch to soft inside ratio. Guy was nice and funny. Place is chill and enough space for family with children. That's a plus being in Northpark. Bring a sweater! We also got an envelope with a surprise coupon inside. THEY (not you...I almost did ) open the envelope in January. read more

Full Philly Bar in San Diego!! Great location right off university in north park! Didn't even know it existed tucked away off the street. So unique all Pennsylvania and Philly themed great spot for sports! A lot of indoor and outdoor seating and lots of TVs and so many options for beer, wine and cocktails with local Pennsylvania beers and San Diego beers! Service was very fast its order at the counter for food and drinks or directly at the bar for drinks. So many pretzel food options including pizzas, sandwiches, and of course a giant pretzel with lots of dipping sides. Beer was very reasonably priced at $7 for a house ipa or Pilsner and then $8 for most all other beers. They have happy hour m-F 3-6 $2 off drinks They have longs of events including Bingo, and an all you can eat and drink pasta nights the last Monday of the month with a sponsored brewery beers only. read more

This place was soooo much fun. The Eagle Fan a real here. If your going to watch the game bring your green on or you will get booed. If all fun though. The pretzels were yummy and the beer selection was fun. The place was super packed when we showed up so get there early if you want a seat during the game. tv all over the place even outside. read more

I should have taken a picture of the TINY little sandwich. Not worth the price at all! Pretzel was good. Beer options are good. It was trivia night and got pretty packed. Someone asked to share our table & we agreed. They whipped out Indian food which smelled really strong. Who does that? It basically forced us to leave. read more

Everything about this place is A+ to me. The vibes, the pints, and most importantly - the pretzels. Not like a generic or average pretzel, but actual authentic pretzel options ranging from Philly style, Bavarian, NY, sandwiches, etc. The actual pub is very cozy & laid back, with adorable decor that further emphasizes & ties the aesthetic together. Staff is always super nice & helpful & Will go above & beyond to get you something you like. Beer & drink offerings are a healthy mix of local & craft IPAs, seltzers, lagers, etc. that rotates pretty consistently. They do keep public favorites on tap like Cali Creamin, and also have wine & cocktails on tap too, along w canned drinks. It is in the heart of North Park, and parking can be the expected bear, but I believe they have a parking lot (not sure if it's for them or neighbors though). But overall, sick hangout spot. read more

If you're an Eagles fan, this bar is a must. The energy on game day is unreal loud cheers, high-fives with strangers, and nonstop excitement from kickoff to the final whistle. It's the kind of place where everyone feels like family the second you walk in. The drinks are always flowing, the food hits the spot, and the staff keeps things moving even when the place is packed. TVs everywhere mean you never miss a play, and the crowd makes every big moment feel electric. Win or lose, the vibes stay fun and positive. Whether you're a die-hard Birds fan or just looking for a great time, this spot delivers an unforgettable game-day experience. Fly Eagles Fly! read more

Pleasantly surprised! The pretzels here are affordable, and filling. We stopped by the day before St Paddy's. They were serving green beer, but that wasn't really my thing. Got our pints right away and our piping hot pretzel came out soon after! This is a fun place to kick back with your friends. I'm gonna bring my dogs next time. read more

One of our favorite spots in North Park. Super casual and low key feel. Great selection of beers and their pretzels are awesome. Usually get the Philly each time because it's so freaking fluffy and the cheese on the side is awesome. The environment is really relaxing, games are usually on in the background. So nice to sit outside and enjoy some sun with good beers and snacks. The staff is always super cool, almost like you are stepping into someone's house hanging out! read more

Hate to be that person but....a few things. I want to start off by saying this establishment is awesome. Customer service is great, beer is great, and food is great. That being said I child should never be allowed to sit at the bar without a parent. Not only is it a violation of the law but it's not even fair to someone going to the bar for solace. The Dad didn't even know their kid was at the bar maybe because he had 4 others but it's the bartenders job to intervene. I have attached a picture of the child at the bar too alone as well as the laws for reference. Thank you Pretzels and Pints but I do not want to sit next to someone's coughing child at the bar.

Pretzel & beer w everyone before the semester ended!! Cheese dip was delicious. Pretzels were so soft. Reminded me of the pretzels I had at Oktoberfest, but I think Oktoberfest was better.

Been coming here since I moved to San Diego in 2016 from the Lehigh Valley in PA. What started as a quick place to check out has become my favorite local spot. More than just a Philly bar, it's an amazing meet up spot for events, before a show, to catch a game, or just to socialize with warm and friendly people. Really fast service, don't need a reservation, and easy to mingle inside and on the outside patio. Also, get their Munich pretzels with the beer cheese and honey mustard. Trust me it's the move to combine them both. Original Sando is another recommendation for their sandwiches. read more

Came to check this place out for their Wednesday bingo nights, and just to relax and throw down some beer and pretzels, although I decided to be "healthy" by skipping the beer and just trying their food this time. The place has a chill vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating areas, with the outdoor space being dog-friendly. Looks like they have other events too like trivia on Tuesdays! MEAT LOVERS PIZZA PRETZEL: Pretty tasty, just the right amount of sauce and the pretzel was a good texture. I just wish there could have been more meat, it didn't really feel like meat lovers to me. Also came with chips, a pickle slice, and a pepperoncini. The chips you get might be random since I noticed my friend got barbeque flavored while I got regular chips. Maybe you can request what chips you get too but not sure! The pizza looked small, but with all the sides I ended up pretty full after finishing everything. Overall not bad, but it's pretty pricey for what it is, even for bar food. BINGO: You get 2 free cards and one additional card for each beer purchase! Each round of bingo progresses with various rules (such as straight line, four corners, X, blackout) with possible winners for each rule. Once all the rules have been cycled through, the round concludes, and you can swap your cards out for new ones. Not sure how many rounds they do as we only stuck around for one round. Sadly I didn't win anything, but my friend won a shirt! PARKING: It's North Park so street parking can always be a challenge, but since we came on a weeknight, it didn't take too long to find a spot within a few blocks. Overall, a pretty fun experience! I'd probably come more often if it weren't for the parking as well as the horrible traffic coming down during rush hour. read more

We saw they were hosting Bingo night and decided to swing by to play! - PARKING - Street parking - either be ready to circle around the neighborhood for a spot, or go to the parking structure on 29th street! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Decent amount of picnic benches outside, and a bit more tight in room for the indoor tables. They have their pretzels on display but you order everything at the bar. The bar had a few visiting breweries on tap! After you order, you get a number tag - there was a mixup for one of our friend's orders but it got resolved. Took around 15 minutes for food to start coming out. Bingo started a bit late, and the rounds went slower than expected so it ended up being later than we'd hoped. - FOOD - I would definitely eat before coming, or plan to eat after. Their sandwiches are not very big at all, and many of our friends ended up wanting more food after eating here. Their pretzels are nice and soft though! The Philly: I only tried two Pretzels, The Philly and the Munich. I prefer the Philly as I liked the thicker dough. I also liked the sweet mustard over the beer cheese! - OVERALL - A nice spot to grab snacks and beer! Wouldn't come to get full off the food, but maybe will return for future game nights! read more

I have walked in here on three occasions wanting to get a soft pretzel because of the sign on the street. Every time I was completely ignored and never did anyone greet me. It wasn't that busy but there were a lot of kids running around crazy. I did see a bartender and I walked over to try and get their attention and stood there for a while but was ignored on two occasions. One occasion I stood at the pretzel bar counter for quite some time... No one ever showed up. I finally gave up. I get it they don't need my business... Pretzels looked great I wish I knew how to get one read more

A must visit when you're in North Park, Pretzels & Pints is one of my favorite bars in all of San Diego. As the name suggests, this place specializes in home-made pretzels for all its menu and has a large variety of beers and seltzers. It's also a huge Eagles bar and I highly recommend attending a Sunday game here during the season for the best experience! Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating with tons of east coast memorabilia to check out inside. Highly recommend the Pretzel Puffs, the Cali Club, or the Spicy Turkey Melt. Thank you Boomer and staff as always! read more

DO NOT GO HERE TO WATCH FOOTBALL. Fans of sports teams are able to bring toddlers to a bar and it is seriously open season. Little kids running around without shirts screaming at the top of their lungs. Staff did not care one bit nor did they make an effort to ask the parents to control their kids. Moral of the story, go literally anywhere else if you are a sports fan, there is a chance you show up here and 10-15 toddlers start tearing the place apart. read more

A jumbo Bavarian pretzel and a pint of nitro Cali creamin is a must try. Love the variety of tap options here and that they have a dog friendly outdoor seating area. read more

Plenty bench seating. Indoor amd out with good vibes. Family friendly with great beers.

Great day for a delicious pretzel or two. The New York pretzel and the Bavarian pretzel I chose taking it home. Since it was early I went for just a cola. They have over 10 beers to choose from in here and I definitely want to come back when someone is driving. This place is very unique inside and takes you back in time. Well, not my time LOL way back! It has a nice little patio and is dog friendly and staff is very welcoming. Since it is in the afternoon there is parking but, not sure what the evening is like. read more

Lost a bet so was dragged to this place to watch an Eagles game. Watching Philly fans be happy is my version of hell. And since this is a Philadelphia bar. There were tons of them. That being said. The bar and atmosphere was surprisingly not too bad. The crowd was spirited and passionate. It could have easily teetered on obnoxious but it was fine. About 16 beers to choose from. Had four of them. I wasn't fond of any of them except for the blackberry jam cider. I could drink that all day every day. Parking sucks. It's nestled in North Park so you'll never find anything good or remotely close since there's a cluster of businesses there and everyone competing for parking. Outside of the bar isn't well lit. If it wasn't for the music, I would have walked past it. Once inside, getting to the bar was odd. You have to line up single file in the middle of the bar which if it's long enough will wrap around itself like the 80s Nokia game of snake. Found myself bump into everyone and ask random people if they are in line for a drink. The food. Don't do it. I rather head to target and get clearance item food than eat here. But if you're too hungry, make sure you get nice and tipsy so you don't have to really taste the food. Only thing I'd get moving forward is the pretzels. It ain't good. Mine came out dry but it's the only average thing on the menu. It's a 2.5 star place. I imagine it's a place I'd go to if someone was late and I needed to kill time. Not confident I'd go back if it wasn't for a game or something to that effect! read more

Friendly service, good amount of outdoor seating and very dog friendly! Enjoyed an Irish red ale from El Cajon.

Pretzel & Pints is a pretty decent place to grab a beer and pretzel! I came here to load up on carbs before going other bars in the area and it did not disappoint. I tried numerous kinds of their pretzels as well as a meatball sub and all were delicious. They also had a solid beer menu. The service was pretty great. It's a causal spot and could be fun to watch a sports game here. read more

The concept is cute - and a few bar tenders were nice. But the female who works there, wow. She tries to be funny but lacks delivery and ability to be funny. We went for a dog event last week and my girlfriend went to close the tab. When the keypad asked for a pin after she paid she said "oh is that for me" asking if she needed to enter anything or do anything and the girl said "no go away". The girl had glasses and pink leopard ish leggings. It was the day a new girl began - who was so sweet & loved seeing her first day announced & celebrated, but this girl turned us all off from coming back. She was smug & had zero delivery & good energy. People from another table said something also when they overheard her say that to my girlfriend. Mouthing "wow" to us. We won't be back, that alongside her eating behind the bar was just disgusting. Maybe a revamp in how to welcome, give customer experience & how to be even just good energy would help. My friends had a similar experience & may post but go for a pretzel, some cold beer & cute decor but don't expect the female with the longer brown hair glasses etc to be too welcoming. Was actually shocked to leave feeling so upset & disrespected. read more

Cool spot for a beer and a pretzel. This was my first time here. This is one of my son's favorite spots and is a regular here. I'm in from out of town and had to check it out. The vibe is cool with Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies colors. I even had to get a t shirt. Love the swag options!!! read more

My better half gets together with her close friends about once a month to eat somewhere and to catch up. I'm usually accompanying her not to hang out with her friends, but to be her Uber driver. This time they were eating at Tribute Pizza in North Park, so I was trying to find a place to eat at and hang out to waste some time. Thank God, I stumbled upon Pretzels & Pints (P&P). Not only is it a cool place to chillax and beat the heat, but it also serves some delicious grub. P&P is located in North Park, which is pretty competitive considering the several popular eateries in the surrounding area. The restaurant is just down the road from Target and North Park Beer Co. It is next to Salvage Salon and across the street from the Army Navy Store Bargain Center and Verbatim Books. As you enter P&P, you see odes to iconic stuff from Philadelphia like Rocky Balboa, Philadelphia sports teams, colleges from Philly, and other knick knacks that hearken to Pennsylvania. There are also other decor that reminds you of the city we reside in, so just sitting in P&P makes for a fun experience looking at everything. There are several televisions that had sports showing, there's a pinball machine, and beer drinkers will have many beer choices to choose from. There is indoor table top seating with comforting AC and outdoor seating. They have a private parking lot and there's street parking. The gentleman who helped me behind the bar on Sunday after 6pm was friendly and provided quality customer service. I've been blessed to visit Philadelphia two times and never thought of Philadelphia to be a city known for its pretzels. When I visited the City of Brotherly Love, I made sure to chow down on a Philly cheesesteak and a pork sandwich. I'm a pretzel fan, so I was looking forward to trying P&P's pretzels. To enjoy one of their pretzels, you order from the bar, the kind gentlemen who helped me provided me with a number, and another customer service friendly employee brought out the pretzel I ordered. P&P has a simple menu that is primarily focused on serving pretzels and they have a good selection of beers, but I'm not a beer drinker. I know my buddies would be interested in their selection of beer. After perusing their menu, I decided to order their Meat Lovers Pretzel Pizza which is two opened faced pretzels topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, bacon, hot calicos, and pepperoni. The pizza is served with a bag of chips, pickle, and pepperoncini. I also enjoy eating pizza, but pizza on a pretzel is on another level. The pizza came out fresh and hot, the cheese was melted, they aren't stingy with the toppings, and it was hearty. From the first bite to the last, it was tasty and yummy. The menu says a bag of chips, but I didn't see the bag when my food came out. I enjoyed the chips, the pickle, and the pepperoncini. I had a great first time experience at Pretzels & Pints. 4.5 stars for delicious food and quality customer service, but I wish there was more of that delectable pizza, more of their chips, more of that pickle, and more of that pepperoncini. I plan on taking my family here, so I can try more of their menu. read more
