Good late night spot downtown! Dim ambient lighting, loud music, cool interior. Got there close to midnight on a Thursday and it was still pretty packed, but we were able to find seats at the bar right away. The cocktails were good and strong which is all ya can really ask for! TIP: try the "secret" door behind the beer kegs near the bathroom ;)
If there is a third place in downtown SD it's Neighborhood. Open late 7 days a week you will feel welcome any time you come. Heads up, it can get busy at dinner hour. The food is best described as comfort. It's often rich and decadent and best paired with a stiff drink, I recommend the vodka mule. Get the blooming onion at least once even if it's not your thing. The short rib is one of my favorites. You cannot go wrong with the chicken sando or the young american burger. The sauces here are one of the highlights. Beyond the top tier food and drink, the staff are some of the best people you'll encounter. Something must attract good people to this place. Also, Frank is the best.
Great service. Great vibe. Great food. Great drinks. I highly recommend. We have ordered the blooming onion, steak frites, bone marrow and Hamburger helper macaroni and cheese. It was amazing
Neighborhood in East Village was an excellent pick for a casual stop on a weekday night! We walked in for a few drinks and a light snack before dinner and had a truly memorable experience. Service was amazing! Bartenders at this spot know how to make a great quality cocktail. I started with a margarita, which was well-crafted, and then got to try a unique martini riff they were experimenting with--a savory twist that really stood out. The creativity behind the drinks was impressive and added to the fun vibe of the evening. We also tried the pierogies, which had a delicate, light flavor that perfectly complemented the drinks. It was just the right bite to tide us over before dinner. This spot has a great atmosphere and is ideal for enjoying creative cocktails and light bites. We'll definitely be back!
I came here on a Saturday night and it got pretty packed. I got Steak Frites and the Blooming Onion and it was pretty good. The food came out quick. The staff were really nice but the service was okay.
4 stars... Literally moved into the neighborhood, so what could be better than visiting a joint called.. "Neighborhood"! Good local beer options and fun bar scene. Opted for the chicken sando; crispy, saucy goodness...served with fries and pickles...I'm glad I chose this one! Ambiance is speakeasy copacabana, service was prompt and friendly, and prices were in line with area. Such a cool joint right near my new place...I could see myself becoming a regular. This joint makes the list!
What a cool little spot to have a night out! The place was packed and waitlist on a Tuesday night so I was a little surprised as it was my first time here but was able to order drinks at the bar while me and my friend waited for a table. The wait list took about 30 mins but we were able to stay inside the whole time. Once seated, I got to ordering the blooming onion as appetizer since I haven't had one of these since eating a a certain Australian themed steakhouse and it looked amazing. The servers and bar staff were attentive for it being so busy. I heard the other speakeasy bar, Noble Experiment was just on the other side of this place and I have plans to visit there soon. I enjoyed this night out, food and drinks were great and so was this dessert brownie sundae. Loved it here!
Decided to try something different in downtown with my friend last week and so happy we stumbled upon this place! The vibes and ambiance were immaculate! We were able to snag the last two seats as we got there right before the dinner rush! Even though it was busy, service was fast and I wish I had gotten our waitress's name because she was amazing! Now for the star of the show, the food! The blooming onion was the main reason we wanted to dine in and it was seasoned perfectly with black garlic ranch to dip, but I am so glad we decided to order more food! My friend had the burger which was yummy but that BONE MARROW! *chefs kiss* Can't wait to come back and try other dishes!
I LOVE the neighborhood! I went here early on a weekend and just walked in for a table for 4, which was totally fine. We started the night with caviar bumps which was so so fun! Their food was absolutely delicious! I highly suggest getting the burrata as an appetizer. I also loved the crispy potato because it was a little animal fries vibe. We drank espresso martinis which were so good. This bar is a very cool vibe and is super nice on the inside. Pro tip! When you get there or your food arrives, follow the bathrooms to the secret door and put your names in at the speakeasy. This is a treat!
I recently stumbled upon the Neighborhood Speakeasy in San Diego, and it's like finding a secret stash of hip-hop gold in the heart of the city! From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped into a chic, intimate oasis that would make even Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole feel at home. The vibe is pure magic. The decor is as sleek as Drake's rhymes, and the atmosphere is as smooth as a Nas track. This place truly brings a unique and refreshing twist to the San Diego nightlife scene. Now, let's talk about the drinks. The bartenders are like mixology maestros, crafting cocktails that are as inventive and polished as Kanye's best beats. Each drink is a work of art, perfectly balancing flavors that hit all the right notes. Whether you're sipping on a classic Old Fashioned or trying one of their signature concoctions, you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a spot that combines the chill vibes of Pacific Beach with the trendy elegance of Gaslamp Quarter, the Neighborhood Speakeasy is it. It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some top-tier drinks in a cozy, laid-back setting. This speakeasy is a must-visit for anyone in San Diego who appreciates good drinks and great vibes. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their impressive cocktail menu. Five stars all the way!
