Best places: Bar and grills in San Diego, United States

Elegant fine-dining chain with a seafood & steak menu, plus a cocktail lounge featuring live jazz

Small, casual tavern known for cocktails, burgers & fries, offered amid vintage decor.

👍👍 Excellent food, and the prices are really reasonable for what you get! I was a bit worried based on the BBQ prices the first time I went, but it's an *insane* amount of food: you definitely want to share any of the BBQ plates across 2 people (and even then, it's plenty of food). This time, we tried...
