    Karaoke was fun on Friday. Good setup. Salt and pepper chicken wings I got from the kitchen were good as well. Mixed crowd of regulars and first timers like myself.

    Good pour on drinks. Dog friendly. Outdoor patio. Interior bar with karaoke. DJ Chad does amazing job. Hope he never leaves! Crowd is more local regulars, but tourists were made to feel welcome. Already returned since our first visit. Only karaoke we visited a second time. Well worth you checking it out.

    Went here for an after-party of roller derby, fun times! Several choices of draft beers, including local craft beer, and a large choice of liquor available here. I ordered a pint of a local IPA. Did not eat here, but the kitchen was bringing out food quickly to several people. Will come back for drinks and food.

    This place rocks! Great vibes. We sat out back on the outdoor patio. We ordered Philly cheese steaks, and mozzarella sticks. They turned up the music, up on our request. The service was great, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious.

    A little divey, a little loud, but always a good crowd! Even though it can really carry the party scene it still kindof has a local bar feel. The staff have always been rock stars! Did i mention 7 days a week karaoke? On top of that some of the bar tenders are very good singers! The drinks dont cost an arm and a leg, and they have a good pour too! Woul recommend for a chill night with good people any night of the week. Its a smaller venue, but there is a big covered patio that adds to the overall size and there are a couple lawn games such as corn hole. The food is pretty standard bar fare, but its pretty good and pairs well with the wide selection of drinks.

    Advertised happy hour and even had signs stating happy hour every day. Woman behind bar said no happy hour because of football season. Come on.

    This is a place you go to when you're over 30 and just want to have fun without dealing with all the B.S. kitchen is separate from the bar and cash only with an ATM on site. The food is excellent with a touch of the chefs personality of the day. I mean that in the highest regard. This is my favorite place to go in SD for food that's always good and the drinks are very reasonably priced. Pool table outside in a covered patio and pet friendly. The bar hosts karaoke often as well. Just genuinely love this place.

    This burrito is soooo good! It was very warm, the salsa was nice and spicy, and the ingredients were so yummy. It was 10$ and so worth it. Would eat here again. The cook served our large group by himself, it looked like, and all the food looked so yummy!! The seating looked a little scarce (maybe because our big group took up all of the outside?) and the building was a bit hard to find. Other than that, good place!

    This place is so much fun! There's so much to do and cool people to meet. Cornhole and sports on in the back, great food and great drinks! Karaoke is a must and it's almost every night, Tuesday - Sunday! The DJ's are great! Kara and Chad tear it up and bring life to this place! I bring my friends here and love telling people to come here! I hope you go soon!

    Been going here for years. Luke and Brandon and Sarah and I think....Ashley? They are all so effing awesome. Karaoke is fun. I go after work to chill and on weekends to wild out. The food is also really good. The chef is really nice and very accommodating. Pool table out back. Good music good happy hour. Can't go wrong!

    Always a great atmosphere at JTs, a great place for an after work beer and a Friday/Saturday night party. Music is excellent, food is delicious. The bartenders are friendly, make great drinks, and provide a welcome place to become a member of the JTs family. Best bar in San Diego hands down

  • 3/5 Jamie F. 7 months ago on Google
    Decent tap selection but lines were probably dirty because beer wasn't crisp. Cool atmosphere but coulda use a little friendlier service.

  • 5/5 Armando Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing neighborhood bar. The staff is very friendly, the karaoke host is extraordinary!

  • 5/5 Calgary J. 1 year ago on Google
    Really had a great time. Good vibes from patrons and staff. Drinks good. Non pretentious good people.

  • 4/5 cali R. 1 year ago on Google
    JTs is a great little dive in my neighborhood. The patrons and tenders are friendly. Drinks are cheap and strong. They serve pub food which I've heard is decent. I go for the karaoke which is pretty consistent. One improvement would be to have a dedicated stage area.

    The quintessential neighborhood sports bar with an amazing selection of great food. The service is top notch and drinks were right on point. Thanks Sarah

  • 5/5 Rebeca V. 1 year ago on Google
    Classic dive bar. Good drink selection, clean, prompt and good service. Nice mix of people. I like that they have a back patio with a pool table and a couple TVs. Will definitely return!

    Well we were having a good time until the game started. Happy St. Patrick’s college day???

  • 4/5 Dan 1 year ago on Google
    Great dive bar, awesome drink prices. They do have food but it's cash only or Venmo for the food as it's a separate business from the bar. But the food is definitely worth it 👍

  • 4/5 Victoria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Havent been here in years when I use to live in the area. Met up with some friends, old and new, for football Sunday! Had a great time and the bartender James is a hoot! Ask him about his Vikings helmet when you visit the place.

  • 5/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome hole in the wall night spot. Karaoke was great, bartenders were attentive and on point. Patio was good for games and taking a break from the inside noise. Can't wait to go back.

  • 2/5 LaRae H. 2 years ago on Google
    As we are sitting enjoying our food we noticed the bartender petting and hugging a dog, then went straight to the bar with washing her hands and continued to pet the dog in between making drinks 🤢 that is disgusting and very unsanitary. We closed our check and left. When i notified someone about the nasty behavior he simply said ill let her know and she continued to make drinks

  • 1/5 Richard Vigil J. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to love coming here. I came by and the bartender was soooooo rude I’ll go down the street to camels or longhorn now

  • 3/5 Mario V. 2 years ago on Google
    The crowd and bartender are awesome. The security? Not so much. They allow the locals to publicly beat and humiliate females all while security pretends it didn't happen.. be mindful when visiting this spot.

    I Came Here To Watch The Niners Game With My Cuz. I Stayed After He Left To Watch My Raider's Beat The Charger's! Yup The Beer Was Ice Cold & The Bartenders Kept Them Coming Without Missing A Beat. Oh They Also Have Great Food! Yup If My Family Not Having Any Superbowl 🏈 Parties I'm Stopping By.
