3 Best Pubs in San Diego, CA

Ambiance was cozy, a little loud but you are still able to have conversations. Server was friendly and so was the waiter. It was our first time in an irish place so We tried the sampler plate for my boyfriend and I. The beef shepherds pie was exquisite, hearty and savory. Could easily get it again and again. Corned beef not my fave, meat got too dry too fast and the cabbage was just ok. Now the chiken item in the sampler was a little more simple but good as well, creamy. The beef stew was more on the super savory almost salty side, it came with champ which is like mashed potatoes. Super yummy. Overall great experience. Would come here again for all of it!

Best Irish pub I've been to in the US. Great food, beer, playlist, and atmosphere. Has the Kilkenny by Smithwick's on draught, and even total wine doesn't carry it. Food was tasty and had a great selection of it, not just standard American fare with a couple obligatory offerings. I had the Guinness beef stew (pictured), and it was wonderful. The other in my party got the lamb shepherds pie, which was also quite good. Only 2 complaints: Draught beers were suuuper expensive ($9). I can understand this for the odd imports, but for a Guinness? Also, too few mashed potatoes for my stew, although the bread on the side was fantastic, so I won't whine too much.

this place is great! we came on St. Patrick’s Day so had to pay a $5 cover but it was worth it. got seated upstairs, and the service was impeccable even tho they were busy! Nina, our server, was super sweet and attentive and even gave me a free dessert since it was my birthday :) the food and drinks are great too and it legit feels like a pub in Ireland. highly recommended and i’ll be back to try more for sure!

My friends and I went here after Oktoberfest this past saturday. It is such a fun game bar! It's a fairly large space so although it's busy it didn't feel too crowded. We ordered some drinks and also some foods and were able to get a large bench for all of us to sit in the back section. Bartenders are super nice. Drinks and food we're all surprisingly good. This is a really fun spot to come with a date, there's a variety of games to play and just a good vibe!

Nice place, friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices! Had 2 tall cran/vodkas and a Mahi taco for $20 not including tip. Big outdoor dog friendly seating space out back! Arcade on other side of bar. Could use another bathroom. There's only 2.

The hills pub is a fun place to hang out! The food was SO GOOD! I was not expecting it! But I devoured immediately! They have a wide selection of draft beers and different cocktails, that look really good! The arcade is a fun area too, it’s smaller than I thought it will be. Overall, the place is fun and the bartenders are very nice people!
