Hooleys Public House

Food was good, albeit a bit on the heavy side. First time having Scotch eggs and enjoyed. Good appetizer to share as I think it’s a little heavy for one person. The white cheese potatoe pancake was too heavy for my liking but I wouldn’t mind trying other flavors. The shepherds pie was good. Service was attentive. Ambiance is interesting… it is a dark bar, which is rare for San Diego! The patio was quiet and very shaded. Worth a trip out for this, not really but definitely good food option in the neighborhood.

That is $49 worth of sweet potatoe fries, chips and Onion rings. Im certain was defrauded and ripped off on my to go order. Definitely open your food containers and confirm before taking your order. I would not recommend and would avoid to go orders.

Very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Laid back and friendly environment. Staff is attentive and welcoming. Beer prices are good and the food is tasty. Definitely a family friendly place. I recommend this place to anyone with the time to sit back and relax while enjoying a cold one with their loved ones. Stop by and see for yourself!!

Corned beef and cabbage was alright. The corned beef was shaved in slices rather than in chunks, but it was still good. Rachel recommended the butterscotch bread pudding and it was fantastic. Expect a wait, it's very popular and seating is limited during nights when they have a band. All in all, I had a decent time. My only gripe is the mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if it's the seasoning or maybe the kind of potatoes, or if it was just a bad batch, but they tasted like cardboard. I would sub it for the chips next time. I saw some of the dishes with their chips and was thinking about how lovely they'd be instead of my sawdust mash.

I frequent this pub often as a patron since its do close to home, but also sing there 3-4 times a year .I love Hooleys Grossmont! Just love it.. The Owner and Mgr are wonderful, as is their staff! The food and libations are consistently delicious! The layout and cozy wood interior truly creates that Irish pub vibe ...(bit larger than pubs in Ireland!l But they truly capture that feel. The tables and bar and most of the booths have a great view of the stage! And as a performer whose show is all about interacting with the audience ...this place / that stage is a gem!!! I love Hooleys Grossmont!
