    It's a divy bar for sure, but it's Imperial Beach so... I was greeted warmly by the first bartender and got a drink. She helped me out right away and charged me 6.50. I was asked to close out with her because she was leaving, and the new bartender took forever to get me another drink or even acknowledge that I was there. I finally had to wave my drink at her, which I hate doing because it's so demeaning, but that was the only way to get her attention. Then she charged me 8.50 for the same drink. So not a great first impression, and I wouldn't say don't go, but just know what you're getting into.

    They had 3 people working the floor but it took awhile for the them to come around to the table....and it wasn't busy. Plus they didn't know all that was on tap. The chicken strips were raw and took forever to come out.......which makes no sense. All they could say was sorry. Most places would have offered to comp something to make it right and make sure you become a retuning customer and not write a bad review (word of mouth gets around). The thing that saved them (the reason for 2 stars and not 0) was the prices.

    The Scoreboard is a small sports bar in Imperial Beach, Ca and this is the first time we had ever been there but i can honestly say it won't be the last! The food we ordered was so delicious. I had the Ruben & it came with fries. Both the Ruben and the fries were fantastic. My friend had the Smash Burger and said it was so good!!! The waitress was so nice and friendly. This place is on our list of "must go back" again places.

    Go to this bar! In a 9 day long vacation this quickly became a home away from home! While in California we ate everywhere, Im big on trying food places while on vacation. Never repeating any place more then once we ate at probably 30 resturants, however we ate about 6 meals here, simply because we loved the atmosphere and we LOVED the people. Otto and Celina are awesome and made us feel right at home, so did all of the patrons. If we are ever in California we will definitely be back. If you want a little home away from home, this is the place to be.

    I love the scoreboard for the karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays. They serve excellent food until 10:00 p.m. A long time owner Joe is a well-known figure in Imperial Beach, and he runs a great bar. You can get a great beer, or a really nice drink, they also have other activities offered on other nights of the week. The local crowd is as friendly as they come!

    Great place for Friday and Saturday night kareoke. And they have other events throughout the week. Monday night is music bingo. Tuesday there's trivia. Wednesday is Bingo. There is also a shuffle board and billiards table in the back if you'd rather take part on that. There website tells you more, but this is overall a very fun environment. Drinks are great and at affordable prices.

    Steaks are huge! All the food and service are great. Nice selection of drinks. BLT wedge salad is awesome and the TJ tacos are good also. Great for breakfast, lunch and early dinner. Bring friends and enjoy the televisions for a sports game .

    I was there for the first time this past weekend for the Canelo vs. Charlo fight and loved all of the positive vibes at this establishment. The owners (Otto & Selena) are amazing!! One thing I noticed is despite how busy they all were Otto had a smile on his face the entire time. Normally when it's busy and chaotic people tend to lose their smile because their stressed out. This is proof that when your doing something your passionate about it's fun and you enjoy every minute of it. All of the staff provided excellent customer service. Regina is my favorite!! 😍 Dj's Money Miner & Jay 2 we're in the mix playing all the old school jams!! At one time all the boys took over the dance floor just vibing out Lol!! I know because theirs video footage Hahaha!!! 🤦🏽‍♂️😆 Can't wait to go back to try their food!! Highly recommend checking out The Scorebord if you're ever in the area. You will not be disappointed!
