    Nestled downtown San Diego about two blocks from Petco Park. They have drink specials before the Padres game and food. Kids are allowed here and gives them something to do as they have pool tables and cornhole and a foosball table for the children while the adults have adult beverages. The ambience is absolutely amazing because it is outdoors and has fresh air as you're sitting down and it's surrounded by TV's so you can watch several different games at once. The service is good. Nothing that stood out or anyone that went above and beyond, but were friendly.

    This spot is a 3.5 at best but I could have either gone one point up or down. I decided to give them 4 stars primarily because our bartender was so nice and sweet. The overall ambiance and drinks though are more 3 stars - so just know that going in. It seems like a great spot for tourists but if I was a local I can't imagine myself coming here. Since we came in December this bar was decked out with all of the Christmas gear and decor. It was visually cute which is what drew us in but once inside the overall atmosphere was more meh. Huge emphasis on sports and the chargers football team here. Totally fine by me, just not my scene and lots of men here so I guess there's that. This is a spacious bar so that is nice. They have lots of games and a fun at atmosphere to play around with your friends if you have a large group. We opted to sit at the bar for a more chill experience and also once we saw their menu we figured we kind of get in and get out. They have a good variety of beers here on tap but cocktail wise this spot wasn't my favorite. Their primary sales seem to be beer or "booze buckets" and none of them really sounded good to me. A bucket of liquor is kind of a nice cop out to get drinks out quick, get people buzzed and to not really have to be a mixologist. We were already full from having some beers so initially we were hopeful we could get away with a cocktail here but that didn't look to be the case. We ended up opting for a lightening bolt shot. Vibrant blue this shot lived up to its name. It was a shock of flavor and liquor. A good shot if you want something bright blue lol and fun of course. Mainly the best part about our experience is we had a really lovely female bartender. She was nice and made us feel welcome. She was attentive and sweet but also did her own thing when my friend and I yapped. I also appreciated that she didn't seemed annoyed that we basically came in, took a shot, and then were ready to cash out quick. All good vibes. Not my kind of regular bar per se but for a football game and beers with some friends, I could see why this spot is cool. Glad we at least checked it out - it was something different.

    Live in the area but for some reason just have never made it in....until they had a dog adoption event. (I hang in sister restaurant Happy Does more often) Service was great even before the puppies got there. We were all excited. Drinks came fast. I tried the nachos which were huge. Friend had the tenders which were battered well. Great afternoon. Will be back

    Breakfast burrito - FIRE INCREDIBLE
    Olivia P.

    This place is awesome!! Let me tell you why. For starters, I love the inside. This is a great place to watch any and all sports and specifically great for football on Sundays. They have so many TVs and even play the sound of the big one. There is also a massive skylight in the center of the roof, so you don't feel like you're in a dark bar the whole day, you actually see the sun. It was covered when I went but maybe it's open in the summers. Now for the contents. As I said nice big TVs but also a lot of games! They have big pac man and pool and corn-hole and more! It's a fun place. The staff was super nice!!! The breakfast food was INCREDIBLE!!! The BREAKFAST BURRITO is life changing especially when smothered with their delicious homemade chipotle aioli and garlic aioli. I will actually be dreaming about this burrito. It's massive and such a great bang for your buck. The avocado is plentiful and the potatoes are crispy. Breakfast burrito: 11/10 Carne Asada Fries: 9.5/10 Carne Asada fries were massive and also topped with delicious steak and guacamole. Some fries were even still crispy under all of that. I highly recommend these too! The meat could be a bit better but for that price, size, and quality I'm not even complaining. They also have a music venue or club in the back I believe but this review is mainly on the deck.

    Sunny yet air conditioned vibes

    I stopped in for lunch after a 90 minute walk through Seaport and the Gaslight because I was hungry and this was the place that greeted me, had available seating and asked if I needed a menu. I love them so much for not being pretentious or brunch-based. Appropriately, the Padres were on, which suited me well for preparing a scouting report for the upcoming Reds series. Beer: many local taps to choose from, yay! Menu: both paper and scannable Music: a mix, the first two songs I heard were Smells like teenage spirit and Wild Thing so I am thinking there's something for almost everyone? Food: they do have vegetarian options. I went with the brisket street tacos because I was looking for a lunch size portion. I suspect the nachos would be amazing. Design feature: the space is street level yet somehow feels open air due to the largest skylight I have ever seen.

    On the last day of our weekend trip to San Diego my husbands and I came to The Deck for a bite to eat before our flight. We had just came from a Padres game and this was the perfect spot to walk to. The vibes were great, very energetic and lively with lots of fans from the game. We decided to share some wings and fries. Both were pretty good! I liked the crinkle cut fries and the prices weren't too bad either. Great spot to chill and enjoy some day drinking :)

    We were going to have Padres pre-game lunch at a different place, then I spotted The Deck at Moonshine Flats. I remembered that the last time we were there, I saw The Deck Sliders being served to a fellow bar patron, so we pivoted and went to The Deck. We found two seats at the bar where we met Ali H., our bartender. Holy smokes! What a hottie she is! Not just a hottie, Ali was an absolutely outstanding bartender too. She was friendly and funny. She knew the menu very well and was quick with recommendations. Excellent service. Life is better with a great bartender! (That should be a bumper sticker) Ali was a great bartender. I had pretty much made up my mind prior to entering. The sliders. Then I saw the Tri-Tip sandwich on the menu and I was suddenly torn. Ali recommended them both. LOL! I love tri-tip, but I can't pass up brisket... *Deck Sliders: smoked brisket, St. Louis BBQ sauce, coleslaw, fried pickles, Hawaiian sweet roll They were excellent. Melt-in-your-mouth tender brisket. It had a great "bark" and wonderful smokey flavor. Not over-dressed in BBQ sauce. The creamy coleslaw and crunchy fried pickle added great flavor and texture. Ali suggested that I put a bit of their Carolina BBQ sauce on the sliders. Typically I'm not a fan of mustard based sauces, but heeded her advice. Boom! Mind. Blown. The Carolina sauce was a game changer! *Chili Dog: chili, jack and cheddar cheese, red onion So, Becky ordered a chili dog. We were headed to a Padres game so a hot dog seemed apropos. She ordered a side of fries too. She thought she'd receive a regular 'ol hot dog with some chili and cheese on it. Hahahahaha!! It turned out to be one of the biggest hot dogs on the planet! This thing was a massive wiener! It stuck out a good three inches on either side of the bun. Bex was able to finish maybe a quarter of it. I tried to help, but I had just crushed three brisket sliders. It was a delicious hot dog. The no-bean chili was flavorful and the cheeses were melty and good. A sturdy bun held this monster together. The spiral slicing mad e it easy to cut into smaller portions. The fries were of the crinkle cut variety and were crispy and really good. The Deck at Moonshine Flats charges that annoying, rip-off, totally unnecessary 4% surcharge. Stop with the surcharge!

    Where to even start? My experience is solely on adult entertainment and a small bite. This is like an adult indoor playground! It's way so much fun, there's definitely something for everyone and it's done and arranged in a great tasteful way. Went here with a gal pal to just hang out for a few hours in the early night, solely to hang out. The drinks were well made, and each bar we visited all the bar tenders were super cool and friendly, something that a lot of places lack. When we arrived at 8:30 there was light music playing in the restaurant area which we didn't stick around for long at first, here there was a pool table, corn hole and some other games to play. We learned that there was line dancing classes going on in the back so we checked that out. This place is HUGE! You go down through a corridor and then it opens up to another larger area with more pool tables with another bar and then another even larger area where we found the dance floor, a stage and another bar. Are you lost yet? It keeps going! Jk that's it but nonetheless for downtown this is pretty big. I truly enjoyed to see that the age group wasn't specific to a certain bracket, there was people of all ages all around. Eventually we made our way back to the restaurant area and mingled and played some corn hole. It was very pleasant that the music wasn't obnoxiously loud so you could still hold a conversation with people. I ordered a little snack of chips and salsa and a side of guac, the guac was ON POINT! Overall it was a very good time, I think the cover at 8:30 was a little unnecessary being that the place wasn't even packed or anything like that. Most crowds don't come out until later and they were also still serving food from their full menu. Might come back again to try out their food as it looked pretty yum!

    We've done brunch here a few time and it pretty good. We tried the carne asada fries this time and it is a large order. The flavors are all there and the fries are crisp and not soggy. Give it a shot if you've never been. The skylight was not handling the rain very well, so that something to consider when going and where you seat yourself.

    Baked Mac and cheese ~ $4
    Jean S.

    The Deck at Moonshine Flats is a fantastic hang out, located in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. They have many different specials throughout the weekdays and weekends, but one of my favorites is Monday night because not only do they have a great happy hour, but it is also $1 rib night! Of couse, we came on a Monday night and ordered a bunch of their baby back ribs, baked mac and cheese, and a pint of Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. The ribs were really good and you can't beat the price! They have four different types of barbecue sauce, which are all very tasty, but I ended up sticking with 2 favorites, the St. Louis and KC. The baked mac and cheese was a great side, but not very large. All of their sides are only $4. The Deck at Moonshine Flats has an extensive beer selection and they have some great specials, especially on pints for happy hour. Also, once a month, they have a music competition where local bands with come out and play or sing on stage. Everyone gets a voting sheet when they walk in and the audience votes for who they think is best. Winner gets $500! The Deck at Moonshine Flats is an excellent hangout spot in San Diego, filled with good eats, good beer, and good company. It's a great place to watch sports, listen to music, and play arcade and other bar games. I would definitely recommend going when they have one of their specials going on.

    Nice Open bar

    The Deck is a great place to hang out with friends during the day. The bright and open bar has lots of fun games and things to do while hanging out. It's bright clear roof top and open screen like walls to the street side makes you fell like your truly outdoors in this indoor bar. The bar felt like someones big backyard, which had a ping pong table, pool table, 2 corn hole station, supersized beer pong, jumbo jenga, video arcade games, and much more. We had a ton of fun playing corn hole and other fun competitions. This would be a great place to watch a football game, especially if you were a Rams fan. The bar is considered an LA Rams bar on Sundays so get your gold and blue out. The bar is very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly but at times it took a long while to order a drink from a table. Bar staff was very good and made consistently good cocktails so sometimes, we simply walked to the bar. We loved our visit here and it's a fun place to hang out!

    Latitude 33 Blood Orange IPA
    Barry H.

    Looking to get a quick bite to eat, we stopped into The Deck @ Moonshine Flats. Fun place, good food and friendly service. I ordered a Latitude 33 Blood Orange IPA along with fries and the Hawaiian Tri- Tip Flatbread (smoked tri-tip, marinara, mozzarella, pickled jalapeno, pineapple).

    What time do you open today and will there be a cover to watch UFC?

    Is it 21 and over even for breakfast?

    Yes.

    What time does the kitchen close?

    Can anyone tell me if you have to be 21 to enter? We are having a bachelorette party and the brides sister is 19 (and our DD)! Is there a cover on Thursday nights?

    Yes, they check ID before you enter even if you're just trying to eat there or in your case of being the DD.

    Do you have to be 21 years old to come in?

    Yes they usually card at the entrance. Very much enforced on days of events like baseball games

    Is this a Rams bar?

    No wouldn't say that - no. Like the football team...right? No.

    During Football do they play sound on TV's?

It was so good I even started adding tots in there too. The tots and Thigh tenders had the perfect crisp! They have sweet and sour chili sauce for dipping with the chicken which was fab! The retro decor made the place even better. I loved seeing the old Blockbuster VHS tapes and music cassettes displayed around the bar. My little eye also spot the Dallas Cowboys flag!

Thankfully everything worked out perfectly since our car was parked right in front of Ghirardelli.

    My son and his friends wanted Bbq and Gaslamp Bbq closes late, so thats where I decided to Treat…read more them. They have a few outdoor seating and plenty of tables on their indoor seats. The Bbq was easy and quick to order and I ordered: *2 Sets of FULL RIBS with a side of beans. *BRISKET PLATTER with a side of Fries. *CHICKEN PLATTER with a side of Potato Salad. *PULLED PORK PLATTER with a side of Garlic bread. *LEMON DROP cocktail. My Son had the FULL RIBS, and my husband and I also had another set of FULL RIBS that we shared. They were tender and delicious, lots of Bbq Sauce on it. Our side was Baked beans, I like baked beans cooked with Bbq sauce, here the bake beans are lightly seasoned but still good. My son's friends had the BRISKET PLATTER, CHICKEN PLATTER, and the PULLED PORK PLATTER. They said that they were good and tender. It's good bbq here, but I had much better ones at other bbq restaurants, and with more of a really strong smokey smell and taste on their Bbqs. Here all of the Bbq sauce did not have that bbq smoked smell and taste, but as I said they are still good. Customer service here is Fun and very friendly. We had 2 cool servers Marfy & Jason who were always very attentive on anything we might need. Parking as alway is a pain here, it's Gaslamp so it's very busy downtown 'coz it's close to the Convention center and the Stadium and there's lots of restaurants around here. Mostly dinner time is always busy here in Gaslamp especially on the weekends. It's less busy if there's no Baseball Games or Comic-con, so plan ahead when visiting the Gaslamp.

    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

    Got a paloma and the flavor was more intense than I expected, but it was pretty good…read more Tater tots are nice and crispy, great texture. 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.
