“There's a million and ten reasons I love this place. Friendly service, great happy hour, good and affordable cocktails, pop-ups, etc. they have a great lineup and I love being a regular here. Board games, too! My partner and I love to grab some bananagrams and fight over a drink. But the reason I keep coming back? Homemade pretzels. Their food menus is great, don't get me wrong, but the pretzels are gods gift to the unsober. Mustard AND cheese?! I get to choose! And a few pickles slices, if that's your style!! Seriously a must.”

“I visited San Diego and had a fantastic meal with two friends. We ordered the Full Rib Dinner with Black Bean and Corn Slaw, Chicken Wings, Corn Bread, along with two beers and a cocktail. I wasn't expecting much from the cocktails since they were reasonably priced, but they turned out to have a nice balance--not too sweet and just the right amount of alcohol. The ribs were incredibly tender and delicious on their own, but dipping them in the accompanying sauce took them to the next level. The Black Bean and Corn Slaw was a standout; I was genuinely surprised by how good it was--definitely a must-try side! Even weeks later, I still can't forget that flavor. The Chicken Wings were a bit spicy for my taste, but they were still tasty. The Corn Bread had actual corn kernels in it, which made it even better, and they were generous with the butter. The portions were quite large, and we ended up taking some home, but I wish I could have finished it all! It was a great way to kick off my trip with such delicious food.”

“Had a passionfruit margarita for the first time and it was excellent. If I'm ever here again, it'll be my go-to drink. They also serve a pretzel that melts in your mouth. Excellent pairing with your choice of beverage. The only con is that it closes early on a Thursday night.”
