    Great beer selection, awesome food and sitting outside under the starts watching a large screen video screen made it so fun. Even taking music with the bartender/server was great!

    Great spot for happy hour! Love watching any and all games here with the big screen outside, perfect for San Diego weather. Beer selection is great, cocktails are delicious, with typical bar food. Vegan salad on the menu and some vegetarian options but I pretty much go for the drinks. Vibe and atmosphere are fun, and staff are always friendly.

    We went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't crowded. Had a great atmosphere. Loved the outdoor seating and being able to watch the game on that big screen. Staff was great! Order drinks and food at the bar and self seating. Ordering was easy and fast. We tried a few of their drinks and were all good but the gold rush was fantastic. I had the Spicy surf and turf burrito and it was hands down the best burrito to ever cross my lips!! I definitely recommend a visit!!

    Every member of the staff was so incredibly nice. Kevin especially went out of his way to be helpful and kind to my pregnant wife. Food was awesome and happy hour is definitely worth making it to. Great place to watch a game, especially outside at night.

    Came here for Thursday night football with the boys. I had the Tachos and they went with burgers. Really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and going up to the bar to order. Also there’s no shortage of screens, so everyone has a viewing angle to watch the game. Their outside area was great, especially in the fall when the weather is still warm. Food came out quick and was tasty.

    Everything about this establishment is great. The staff is stellar, knowledgeable, attentive, but still friendly and laid back. The beer and liquor selection was excellent with plenty of local favorites. The seating was spacious indoor and outdoor to suit your preference. The music playlist was on point The menu was extensive and well priced for the high amount and quality of bar food offerings. Everyone with us really enjoyed the vibe, food, and drinks! A must visit in San Diego for sure!

    Great local sports bar. Great vibes at Home and Away. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is a huge outdoor screen and TV's everywhere. We had a smash burger, chicken strips and carne asada sandwich. There were no complaints with the food. The smash burger was fantastic. The meals come with fries or tater tots and of course we all got tater tots. It was a great place to watch sports and tonight it was the NFL Thursday night game. The service was walk up and order from the bar, not much staff walking around checking on tables. If I lived in the area, it would be a place I would visit to watch sporting events and enjoy some good bar eats.
