Knotty Barrel

If you’re tired of the pretense and touristic nature of much of the Gaslamp, try Knotty Barrel. KB is an old school, neighborhood gastropub with great burgers, fries, wings, and beer. Mike Truty was with us and he went on one of his anti-ocean rants. I mean, I like the guy but who is actually _against_ the ocean? I really can’t stress the fries enough. They are thin and crispy and super delicious. Try and sit in Robbie’s section. He’s funny and cool.

Only able to have a drink but had to say the staff was excellent, friendly, helpful and hospitable. Others said food was good! If you are ever looking for a group gathering spot it’s a worthy choice. If anything check out the unique urinals just don’t tap them 😳😂

Great bar we happened to stop by for beer and snacks! MUST try/Highly recommend the cheese curds and jalapeños! By far/hands down the best batter I’ve ever eaten with cheese curds/jalapeños! Absolutely worth ordering!! 10 🌟

Perfect spot before a Padres game to get a beer and some food. It did not disappoint. Burger was juicy and flavorful; best I had on my trip to San Diego. Chicken strips were quick and easy to pair with a nice beer selection. Friendly staff makes it a perfect pregame spot

Love this place! It’s our east village spot. Excellent food options and drinks, a great outdoor venue, fun indoor bar, great service…and a fun happy hour. Monday HH was a $12 burger. See photo. If you want a single patty, I believe it’s $8….plus: They have one of the best French fries IMO.
