We’d never dined here before, so I chose the restaurant for my husband’s birthday celebration—eight of us in total. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single table large enough to seat us all together, forcing me to pull up a bar stool at the end. Service began promisingly: drinks arrived promptly, and the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy at that point. The Trio appetizer and fried pickles were both enjoyable highlights. Things took a sharp turn once our entrées arrived. The fries were cold, overly hard, and completely lacking in flavor. By this time, attention from our server had dwindled to nothing. Soon every glass at the table was empty—no refills on drinks and, more concerning, no water served with our meals. I eventually had to track down the server just to request basic water. To make matters worse, as the evening progressed, the lighting was dimmed so low that we could barely see our food. The evening concluded on a similarly frustrating note: I asked for two to-go boxes and never received them, so I ended up fetching them myself from near the bar. Overall, the experience was deeply disappointing for what was meant to be a special birthday dinner, leaving us all feeling underwhelmed. I don’t place full blame on our server—she appeared to be the only one working the floor and likely became overwhelmed as more guests arrived (something any restaurant should expect during a holiday week). At minimum, though, keeping guests hydrated shouldn’t be too much to ask, and a simple heads-up about short staffing would have gone a long way.
Loved it! We got the chicharrones and garlic Parmesan wings to start, and the wings were some of our favorites that we’ve found in San Diego. The chicharrones were super fresh and delicious! Lots of drink options, the service was quick, and we were able to bring our dog on the front patio. For our meals, we got the chicken club and Caesar salad. Both were good, but will definitely just get more wings next time.
I’ve been to The Rabbit Hole a few times in the past and stopped by again during happy hour for beer and wine. The nachos were great and probably the highlight of the visit. The space is open with a fun and laid-back vibe, although it does get pretty loud. There are plenty of seating options, including both a front and back patio. Service was fine. It wasn’t exceptional, but there were no issues. Overall, it’s a solid spot for casual drinks and bar food.
The Rabbit Hole is a great sports bar to watch sporting events. We went there on a Sunday for lunch to watch some NFL games. The indoor & the outdoor areas are well designed and have comfortable seating. The outside patio has plenty of seating options to watch the games comfortably with your group. In addition, the Rabbit Hole has plenty of TVs showcasing all the different games to support your favorite team. They also have a nice fire pit in the middle of the back patio. The service was fast, several alcohol selections available and the food was very tasty, while affordable. Our favorites were the dry rub wings and the side salad. Overall this is a great place to go with friends to watch sports!
Even tho the place was unusually busy, our server was very attentive and took time with us. The elote dip was incredible, the wings were very good (able to mix two sauces/rubs), and the gyro was ok (nothing to write home about in my opinion) Great selection of local beers and they have lots of space inside and a nice outdoor area. With the big open doors you can still enjoy the weather from the bar area. Will definitely be back!
