An unexpected two-timer during my stay in SD. I initially went rather late and sat at the bar. I was greeted by the oh-so-wonderful Laren. She gave me her recommendations, and I went with their hot honey chicken sandwich with fries and started with a very generous kale salad. The salad didn't look as good as it tasted, and it was good. I took most of it home, making sure to be mindful of my incoming sandwich and fries. Laren actually prefers the burger to the chicken sandwich, but I fell in love. I notice a hot honey sandwich is not foreign to restaurants and bars in San Diego, but I don't think I can find a better one than here at Counterpoint. Of course a deciding factor are the (French) fries, and let me tell you, I was completely satisfied! Let's not forget the great cocktails and beer! Plus, there's really cool glass art and a semi-private area upstairs. I think the bar manager gave me a different name each visit (my first time here, there was another guy working too), but he and Laren know their SD pubs and grub. Counterpoint has good tunes (can't go wrong with multiple Prince hits), great staff, and cool people, making this my new favorite watering hole. Thing is, I live in Miami. Well, if I make my way back, I hope to see this crew again. I think this might be my first five-star review, wow. Make no mistake, this is a bar with good food, not the other way around. Relax knowing you get the best of both worlds and if you venture here, tell them Diana from Miami sent you. read more
