Moscow Mule Disaster
My experience at the restaurant was an "Epic Fail. " I ordered a Moscow mule and upon taking a sip, I found it to be bitter and containing no alcohol. When I asked the bartender if she had put alcohol in it, she looked me in the eye and confirmed that she had. This was a significant letdown.

Best Cocktail Bar in Normal Heights!
My experience at this cocktail bar in Normal Heights was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ensured a fun night. It's the best in the area, hands down.

Perfect Dive Bar with Amazing Bartenders!
It's perfect, don't come here! This place is a great dive and cocktail bar mix. The crowd is great and the bartenders are amazing! You should definitely order a beer on tap or an espresso martini; the range is top tier here!

Intriguing Ambiance, Eager to Try
I only walked in to check out more options in the neighborhood. It was super busy and live music was playing when I was there, which added to its ambiance. I'm willing to give it a try.

A San Diego Gem with Great Cocktails!
We stumbled upon this gem while visiting San Diego and staying nearby, and what a find! The moment we heard Blink-182 playing as we approached, we took it as a sign we had to check it out, and it did not disappoint. The vibe was laid-back yet full of energy, with a great mix of music, ambiance, and personality that immediately drew us in. I ordered the Pisco Sour craft cocktail, and it was absolutely top-notch — perfectly balanced and so refreshing. Cody, our bartender, made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and clearly knows his way around a cocktail shaker. Being within walking distance of our Airbnb was a bonus, but this place is worth going out of your way for. It’s officially on our list of must-visit spots whenever we’re in San Diego!

Cozy cabin with great drinks!
My experience at this cozy cabin was delightful. The patio was lovely, and the signature drinks were a perfect addition to the atmosphere. Despite the restaurant being busy with limited staff, the drinks were served quickly and were of the highest quality. The food was also excellent, and the service was top-notch.

Fantastic New Patio and Great Cocktails!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The cocktails were great, and the ambiance was equally impressive. The newest back patio is a fantastic addition. I also happen to be a certified God at the ring game.

Great Happy Hour with Live Music
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially during their happy hour, which runs daily from 5-7 PM. I enjoyed cold beer and experienced fast service. The atmosphere was elevated to another level when Eileen played music. Thank you!

Cozy Vibe, Great Happy Hour!
My experience at this restaurant was great! I loved the vibe, which was cozy and retro. The drinks were well-priced, and they had a good happy hour. We were pleasantly surprised to find live music on a Saturday night, even though the website mentioned Thursdays. The patio out back is also a fantastic spot.
