The Ould Sod - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. It's the real deal for Irish pubs in Southern California, unlike any imposters. I highly recommend looking for Warren and Sarah, who will take great care of you and your group. They offer the big 3 on tap and an extensive selection of whiskeys. With plenty of televisions to catch your game, great prices, an amazing atmosphere, and superb service, it's a fantastic spot. Erin go braugh 🇮🇪 slainte 🍺.

I didn’t eat anything, so I have no idea how the food is. The atmosphere is fun, with an Irish folk band playing. We sat outside on the patio, and it was so nice with the warm weather and cool breezes. It did get pretty crowded, and there was only one bartender, so there was a wait if you wanted a drink.

What a rare place that has a happy hour on a Saturday! I'm not a sports guy, but if you are, there were lots of televised baseball, golf, etc. The atmosphere was great, rated 5/5.

My experience at this divey bar in Normal Heights was fantastic. It has an old school feel with reasonable prices. I especially loved the great variety of events, particularly the karaoke nights on the weekends.

DO NOT GO HERE. On Thursday (04/10) around 10pm, after buying drinks, we wanted to order more. I called the bartender, a tall white lady with brown hair, multiple times. I even waved her down when no one else was around. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking she didn't hear or see me, and waited. I then said 'excuse me' again. She looked me directly in the eyes and proceeded to talk to the guy next to us, who wasn't even trying to get her attention. Consequently, we left. We were the only minorities there, and she ignored us on purpose; I believe she's racist. I've read comments that the owner is the same way, and I'm not surprised he lets his staff act like that towards paying customers. There are many bars on Adams that are much better and do not treat minorities badly.

I stopped in for a drink with a friend and fell in love with the place! The friendly barkeep and great atmosphere made for a wonderful experience. I will now be a regular customer!

The Ould Sod is my Ol’ Reliable, the perfect spot to grab a pint and make a memory, whether for a sporting event, party, or just meeting up with friends. The atmosphere is rated a 5, and the service is also a perfect 5. It's a quiet place, making it easy to talk. The food quality is excellent, also rated a 5. I highly recommend the Guinness Draught Perfect Pour. The price per person is very affordable, ranging from $1–$10, and there was no wait time.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was great, with good vibes. We went on karaoke night hosted by Michael, and it was a great time! It was judgement-free even if you suck. 😆 However, the service is terrible because there is no table service. You have to push your way through to the bar to order a drink. 😩

I rolled into San Diego from Arizona just in time for the Eurocup final 2024. This place was a great place to watch futbol!

My experience at this restaurant was unfortunately negative due to the service. An older woman bartender did not card any customers in line before me. However, she asked me to leave because I had a temporary ID, as my real ID is being mailed to me after I switched from an out-of-state ID. She was very rude.
