    Once you find the place, you are sure to have a great time. The music is fun, the drinks are yummy and the bartenders are kind. It is not their fault that they do not have amazing parking options, but they are a bar and you should Uber anyway. Some reviews say it is not "gay" enough... which is weird. Go to Hillcrest if you want over-the-top gay atmosphere, this is a gay dive bar. So much fun.

    Great local bar to hang out at. We were there to watch a Brazilian band perform which was fun. The drinks were good and they have an outdoor area for live events as well as overhead heaters.

    For a divey location, this bar really delivers. They did a good job with the space for being relatively inexpensive yet being situated in a not-cheap suburban neighborhood. They call it " The Hole in the Wall" and I guess there's literally a hole in the wall aka a door, but the venue itself is more like an underground courtyard which makes me curious about what it was before. Right as you enter, you walk down a colorfully lit staircase onto the open air patio. There's usually a karaoke dj to your right and a good amount of people watching zones to choose. I haven't eaten anything here but there's usually an outdoor cook/snack compiler standing near the entrance to the bar. If you're from San Diego, you wouldn't list Point Loma on your itinerary for a queer night out yet The Hole in the Wall exists to surprise you and I love it. I've gone on empty nights and I've gone on packed nights. Both experiences are lovely. If you love a good string-lit outdoor patio and watching people have a fun night, this could be your place.

    Good drinks, good service, good food. Casual local bar to hang out with all walks of life. Everyone here is friendly and welcoming. Our bartenders were great! free pool and beer pong, corn hole, karaoke on Fridays. Try the sausage dog it's crazy good. Fun atmosphere with a a patio-vibe. Don't let the location or exterior fool you, this place is fun!
