Well, If you are my friend, or have ever met me, you know that my favorite bar in San Diego is the one i'm about to speak on. I can't count the times ive been here, actually i can, 25+ times...Im trying to oust some dude on foursquare as the mayor =).  

But anyway, the staff here is top notch. Bridget and Rick are my two favorite bartenders. they always take care of me and my friends whenever i come in. ( which is often) i have to say, i probably come here 4-5 times a month.  

Bourbon night is amazing. Great food pairings. I love my beer though. Karl strauss and im happy. The DJ is always a treat here. they play everything from a tribe called quest to phoenix and so on!

The dim lighting makes me look like a model and vibe is very very laid back. You can wear a suit here, or flip flops and shorts and still fit right in. One of the main things I love about this bar is that there is never a cover or dress code.  

I wish they still had movie Mondays =(..maybe someday it will return.
You have to take advantage of happy hour. 5$ appetizers are great. The menu is done by a great chef as well. I highly recommend the mac and cheese Du jor and the chicken an asparagus  ....they are truly mouth watering.

This is the only bar that i usually go to by myself because i feel that i can have a convo with other patrons and the staff effortlessly. Thats somewhat rare nowadays.

WCT . I love thee.!

    Sooooo, since I now live within walking distance I feel that this will be my new regular spot, after having to depart from the slums of Point Loma, and now residing in NP, this bar has everything im looking for. good music , food, and  the maximum number of 3 black people per night, i love being the pepper in a sea of salt =]

I love beer and i love good music. This bar is a combination of both. Im not one to usually get up and front of strangers and sing without being intoxicated, but here, you can sing , be horrible and still have people cheering you on because that's the type of crowd it is. Everyone is here to just plain out have a good time. Im kinda disappointed that i didn't get a chance to sing my song because i was on a pub crawl, Maybe next time.

The bartenders here are great, It was packed the night i went. i was expecting the bartender to ignore me just a little bit, but no!!!..as soon as we made eye contact he nodded, finished helping another person then came to me. To me, thats great in a crowded bar!

Definitely a place to come back to when i want stay low key and still be around good people who know how to have good time.!

Hash House A Go Go

There is not much to say about Hash House that already hasn't been said. The food is on steroids and it taste gooood. First things first. Beverages. =]
They have a full bar for the functioning alcoholics ( ME) and a great drink menu that everyone can find something delicious .

This morning I opted for the regular O.J because I was on painkillers the previous day and wasn't sure mixing them would be visually pleasing . That last time I mixed the two I woke up with a diaper on, but thats another story for another time.

I ordered the waffles and potatoes and patiently waited for my food to come. I love to people watch and this morning i felt that everyone in the joint was checking me out ( have you seen my picture!! HAWT!!) but then I realized that someone had written my name with a marker on my forehead (weird cause i didn't even go out the prior night??..hmm ..Ill have to look into this later on.)

Anyway. After cleaning my face, my food was waiting for me at my table and I felt like Uma Thurman when she said the exact same thing in pulp fiction!!! Crazy right?? I know. I started to dig into my food, I love powdered sugar as much as the next person, but my waffle was engulfed in it. No biggie , i'm not picky. It could of been a little crunchier too! I feel soft waffles are just like pancakes ( Im pretty sure i'm the only one in the world who made this connection as well )

All and all the staff was great, very quick on the hop. biggity bebop and they don't stop.

Amazing customer service! A++

I would of thought i was in a strip club with the amount of attention I received here. I came in to get a new sim card for my negroberry because I was always in SOS status. As soon as I walked in i was greeted and helped by a consultant instantly.

I explained what my problem was and she told me that usualyy it is the sim card, she brought out an envelope full of sim cards and inserted into my phone for me.

On top of that while she was reviewing my account she notices i had a few third party charges that i had no idea were on there. She called HQ and got them to remove the chargers and give me a refund credited to my account.

THEN...After where I told her where I worked she said i could be getting 15% off my monthly bill just by working for the county , so she set that up for me also.

SO all and all i shaved $35.00 off my monthly bill and got a $30.00 credit just for trying to fix a simple problem.

Its a dive bar, nothing bad or good to say about it really. Nothing really unique about this place. they have leather padded underneath the bar so your knees don't hit wood, that cool!!!

Other then that, if i live in the area i would prolly come for connivence but other then that ..ehh.. OK bar in my opinon

Update - 3/27/2011
Came back after a very long hiatus to meet up with some friends. Line was loooooong....i was dreading having to wait in it but this is one of the few places that are worth it. I got a text from my buddy telling me to just go up front and tell the bouncer my name since he had bottle service upstairs. I go up to him and he pretty much tells me to fuck off, so im like whatever, no biggie. then 5 min later he comes and pulls me out of line and says i can go up!, IN YO FACE BIATCH.

So i make my way up front feeling all the hateful stares from the others in line and just smile back. I get up to the roof and it packed but not too crowded.

The bottle service was cool. waitresses were coming back in and forth. a lot of purrty people. I highly suggest bottle service if you have a group of 4 or more.

    What can i say?!  this has become one of my favorite places for hanging out with friends after along day at work.  Drinks are a little pricey but the view is spectacular. Music is great and the vibe is just welcoming.

UGGHGh...I came here for like 3 min for a pub crawl with some friends. As soon as i walked in I felt right at home. unfortunately i was a little late so i had to down my beer and then we were off to the next place =[....BUT, from the 3-5 min I was there, i could tell it was great place to just hang out and meet other people without any other motives. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Will come back ASAP.!

Ehhh. food was lacking flavor. I like my macaroni salad cold, not sure if it's suppose to be the same temperature as the meat? maybe im so use to eating L&L but this place was close by and i was recovering from the night before so i said why not !

I didn't even finish my food, either too hungover or not enough flavor. either way i wont be back . sad because this is so dam close to my house.

AMAZING. I came here after reading all the reviews and because it was right around the corner from my house.  This is the most honest and customer appreciated repair shop around.

I brought my honda in after months of neglecting the check engine light and was worried i had did more damage then the pre-existing problem.

Ron told me to bring the car down and within 20 min he told me that the problem was, how much I was going to be looking at paying and asked me what i wanted to do every step of the way.

The shop does look like trash but don't let that fool you. They do great and honest work here.
