Haven't been here in years! Still a great place to grab drinks. I didn't have anything to eat, but others nearby did and it smelled good.

Good to see this bar return. Great place to grab a bourbon and a burger. Chicken wings and flat breads are good too. My neighborhood needed a bar focused on bourbon that has bourbon priced for drinking not status. I hope to see their collection grow, Prices and pours are good Cheers

Menu continues to change and amaze. Chefs Vera and Adrian put out the best dishes in Pacific Beach. (They are chefs not cooks). Happy hour is an incredible value. The shrimp, quesadillas, hamburgers and chicken strips are to die for. This place is a can’t miss. Everything is great and the menu is always changing. Different specials all the time.

I had a work party at Froggys and we all had such a great time. The bar staff was so warm and gracious (Shoutout to photographer Marcos for getting great pics of our group). We really enjoyed putting tunes on the jukebox and hanging out. Drinks were delish, food was good, service was outstanding.

In town to meet up with friends, wanted to grab a quick bite and drinks before starting the night and found this spot around the corner from our Airbnb. The place was nice and pretty chill, their fries were really good and their salad as well.
