Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Downtown/Bayside in San Diego

This place is the Bomb! This is a great bar with great heart. I just want to thank the staff as well as the manager Nick for the great service and the kind gesture. I live in Oceanside in an area that was evacuated by the Lilac fires. My wife and I grabbed our belongings as well as our children Harry and Tj (our dogs) and headed to the closest hotel that accepted dogs. Fortunately for us everything was booked in North County so off to San Diego it was. We took shifts watching the dogs and guarding our valuables. I stumbled upon the Waterfront bar. Due to the circumstances I had a couple of cocktails to take the edge off. In that short period of time I met some very nice people including Nick. After telling him my story he seemed very sympathetic. I can’t emphasize enough how friendly and efficient the staff was. I ordered my food and as my bill came Nick handed me my bill with a substantial discount. He said "we feel for you brother, I have had friends in the same situation, this is the least we can do”! Wow i certainly wasn't expecting that! Not are they the oldest tavern in San Diego but their values are certainly haven’t changes from the good ole days. By the way the food was fantastic! Hats off to the Waterfront Bat & Grill!!!! Thanks again

Great, old funky bar in downtown San Diego! Excellent burgers. Love the Sunday brunch and mimosas! Four stars because I cannot stand the smoking that goes on at the outside tables.

What a lovely bar! I couldn't find any other bars in the Little Italy area at about 0am, but finally found this bar and enjoyed until 2am. Even though that was the first time to visit, but felt cozy and safe even midnight. Many thanks for the staff and will definitely visit again when visiting next time.

I love this bar! It's one of the friendliest bars in the area. They open at 6am daily, serve an awesome menu too with a killer staff. One of the oldest, if not, of all of San Diego. A great place to enjoy some whiskey, great bloody marys and of course craft beer.

Best local bar anywhere! Food is amazingly good, awesome drinks! Always a diverse crowd, lots of locals mixed with passersby! A fun time is always had here!

Excellent food every time I've been there. Also have ordered pizzas and sandwiches and salad for pickup and was just as good as being there. Give it a try you won't be disappointed!

Came here craving proper Italian food and were not disappointed. The family are Sicilian and it showed. Wonderful, rich tomato sauces, and a fabulous chicken parmiggiano. Not only that, but the service was so friendly we felt like part of the family. A spot not to be missed!

This place is awesome! The food is sooooooooooo delicious you will be in a food coma from heaven. Would recommend this for date night, or large group gathering. We came here multiple times for a family dinner, and most recently for an after wedding rehearsal dinner. Chef came out and introduce herself, and the staff was wonderful. Very accommodating! Trust me, you need to come here at least once in your lifetime, you won't be disappointed.

first time here and boy let me tell you the got what you need when you want to try your hand at Italian food. I went to the store side. Haven't had a chance to try the restaurant, but that's next. Very friendly staff, and very inviting. Thanks for the pesto recipe!!

Love this place! Oftentimes I won't even order spaghetti at restaurants because it can be so hit and miss. The sauce here was authentically Italian with a great blend of spices and tomatoes. Delicious! The meatballs were tender and flavorful, some of the best I've had. Servers were knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely be back!
