We want on Sunday and food was excellent (spicy burger) and service was great; we had kids with us and did not feel uncomfortable.

The classic beef sliders are delicious ! Fries are crispy and the draft beer is always ice cold. I love coming here by myself or with family to watch all the sports games . Brunch is also some of the best I’ve had in Gaslamp.

Well for the 3rd day in a row, I find myself here at Taste and Thirst. Like Toby Kieth says, 'I love this bar'! The drinks are 50% off during happy hours. The wings are delicious. What I love most about this bar is the exceptional service. Bartender Stephany is a perfectionist! She provides excellent service and won't give you a drink if it isn't made right. Amazing! Would recommend this bar to all. ESPECIALLY during happy hour!

Believe the hype. The happy hour specials at this place are truly unbelievable. This is the type of venue you feel conflicted on when you tell other people about it. On one hand you want to keep this place to yourself to hoard all the amazing drinks and keep the classic bar vibes. On the other, you want to see a business that offers value to their customers thrive. And here I am, leaving a 5 star review. Needless to say next time I’m downtown and looking for a drink this will be my first and maybe only stop. Side note, I didn’t have any of the food but the group next to us got chicken wings and I was unbelievably jealous.

I have been in San Diego since Monday 12/16 for a Conference. I dined at many restaurants this week. However, my group wanted some good food, and drinks. Taste and Thirst offers a late night Happy Hour, good food, friendly great service. This was hands down the best place with real good drinks, excellent food and an awesome atmosphere including good music. Thanks for the best experience before I go back home.

This is my second best happy hour bar. The service is good and the happy hour is the second best in downtown. All the servers and staff are nice and friendly and the service is always on point. Brandy, Stacy and Nikki are such a good bar tenders. I highly recommend this hidden gem.
