    SOCIETY @ PACIFIC BEACH Parking is available on the street or along the surrounding neighborhoods for free. It can get a little tough to find a spot, but Ubers are super easy if you prefer a quick drop-off. Society is another great bar spot in Pacific Beach, and walking in, the space immediately felt open with really good energy. I loved how everything was set up, from the long bar area to the patio seating, high-top chairs, and the tables in the back. There are TVs everywhere, so we were able to watch a soccer game while hanging out. The bartender and staff were honestly amazing. My boyfriend ordered a couple rounds of beer, and they were so kind. I mentioned to him that I loved cherries, and the bartender surprised me with a whole cup of them, it was the cutest thing! Incredible staff, fun atmosphere, and an overall great area. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

    1/4 chicken platter with garlic mashed potatoes

    The place has a large open area and plenty of pool tables for anyone to play with. Plenty of tv screens to watch sports or music videos. The place has their windows and doors open to try to attract people outside so if it's cold, be sure to being a jacket. The waiters are pretty attentive and come around often to take orders and plates. They seem to have a welcoming vibe. Their well drinks are pretty good, quite strong for meq The chicken is cooked well and has good flavour. There's even extra BBQ sauce in case it's not enough. The menu says "Corn Bread" but it's clearly Texas toast. Not that it matters cause it's tasty. The garlic mash potato was very tasty and well made. I would love to come back here when I get the chance.

    Stopped by here to watch the game the other day. We've always wanted to check this spot out because we've heard a lot about Bubb's barbeque and like the fact that they have a of pool tables. We ordered potato skins to start and the brisket sandwich since they were out of pulled pork on the entire menu. the potato skins were good and flavorful. The brisket sandwich was okay - we had a lot of fatty pieces in our sandwich and the bread was fairly soggy when it arrived so we just ended up eating the brisket. The main reason I won't return here is the service. The food did take a while to come out, but the service was not great either. It was incredibly hard to get the server's attention and we'd even try waving right at them to get their attention and their focus was strictly on the game and at one time rolling silverware. We watched other patrons as well struggle as we did trying to get the attention of the waiter.

    Do you see fizz???
    Mike G.

    This place is like a bunch of clowns working together. All the employees look and act like they hate there job... My beer and no fizz and when I ask for another one the bartender called Me out and told me it dose seam to her that is has fizz. How stupid can you be. When I asked for another beer, they gave me a different kind same thing no fizz ... As you could see from the photo, no fizz at all... do not buy beer here. Do not come here. The only good thing here is the food is a little good that's it. Service and attitude the worst ...

    It's busy as hellllllllll. College kids galore! I guarantee the night I went was a regular night and if they had something going on, this place has to be a mad house! The venue is nice and spacious unless overly packed with college kids. I loved the TVs, open seating along with pool games and shuffle board. The service was actually pretty damn good and our server was more than helpful in taking our order and getting things to us. Now you would think a place like this the food would be "meh" fear not their actual dishes were ! I opted for the penne pasta with chicken and man oh man packed with flavor! Chicken was a little over cooked but I was still in shock from the presentation of it and the drinks they offer! Definitely give this place a go as it's a nice area and has a nice people watch and see the street vibe to it.

There is plenty of space, and a fairly open air location, so we didn't over heat, and had plenty of shade. Our server was super kind and gave us all the best recommendations! They even showed us where the SDCC menu corresponded to the normal menu. We ended up splitting the Big Boss burger, French fries, Mac and cheese, tots, Caesar salad, ribs with sauce on the side. It was recommended to mix the ribs with the Mac and cheese, and I have never been happier with a recommendation in my life. This is precisely why I like to ask for the servers favorites!

I loved the stained glass lights at the booths we sat at, they were super cute! We played foosball for a dollar which was fun while it lasted but it didn't give us enough balls to play an entire game. It's been pretty hot in sd and this place has a lot of large open windows that were all open, I usually love that feature but it was an abnormally humid night so we were all pretty hot and sweaty inside. Food was good with affordable prices too, we came here quite late at night, so we were limited to only their late-night menu, but everything was quite tasty, typical bar food. Our standout favorite was the maple sriracha wings for $10.61, their flavor is exactly like described and was a good balance of sweet and spicy! The Butter Burger $10.57 was good too but I think too rich and heavy for me. The prices were great tho! Parking is pretty terrible as is typical for downtown, but we walked from Punch Bowl Social and had Ubered to there at the beginning of the night. ---- Overall: a cool place to hangout, drink, and grab a bite late at night, I'm sad about not being able to play a whole game of foosball, but a generally great time

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness! Live long and prosper. End log. Captain 619

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay. Also, can't say I'm a huge fan of the tiny lettuce whenever I see it. Overall, this joint is not bad, but I can think of very little about it that stands out. I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.

The tots were crispy and only slightly oily. There was a decent amount of chicken and other ingredients involved and the portion size wasn't too bad. Getting the beans on the side was the right move because the tots stayed crispy the whole time. Honestly, I would come back here for the totchos again, but would enjoy it more next time if they had a sour to pair with it.
