California Tap Room

In what I can only assume is some sort of sociological effort to put all of the Philly fans in one place and thus save the rest of San Diego from them, this place exists via, I think, some bizarre portal to Eastern Pennsylvania. The denizens of this establishment have an intricate series of rituals for every possible positive outcome during Philadelphia sporting events, which mostly involve loud communal chants and banging on furniture. A woman named Lykheng (which I think I spelled correctly) glares at them in constant protective judgement, a comforting bulwark whose continued side eye and beer service keeps these degenerate lunatics from total barbarism. A man who I can only assume is the owner wanders about with two main responsibilities: 1. Turning excellent music on during the commercial breaks (which he does with astonishing precision), and 2. Running through the establishment with two cowbells after a Philadelphia homerun. Everyone is friendly, which means they are equally willing to fight you or purchase you a citywide special, according to your tastes. They sell some insane, delicious canned beverage that seems equal parts irradiated apples from three mile island and tears of William Penn, and it is 5 dollars. They offer a wide variety of pretzels so that you can experience real Sixers-fan-level regret after you order something other than the Philly. There were literally several dozen witches here, and they fit in perfectly. I think I'm a Phillies fan now. I blame this place, the best bar in North Park. Don't come here or you won't want to leave.

Went to Pretzels and Pints for school fundraiser and was not sure what to expect. Turns out that this is a great place to enjoy some pints. The food menu has something for everyone and the pesto chicken sandwich was really good. Plenty of space, outdoor tv’s, bar was quick and the place was packed. Great service!!

My wife and I went to southern CA for our honeymoon in January of this year. Both of us being big Philly sports fans weren't going to miss the final Eagles game of the season and after some searching stumbled upon Pretzels and Pints. We loved it. The pretzels were fantastic, the atmosphere was great, the service was a little slow, but that was to be expected given the amount of people there. It was so much fun to watch the birds win, sing the fight song with such a big and enthusiastic group. We enjoyed it so much that we came back by a few days later to watch a Sixers game. They didn't initially have it on but were more than happy to accommodate. We were two of the maybe four people in the restaurant and it was a much different environment, but just as awesome. I would recommend Pretzels and Pints to anyone visiting SD, especially if you're a Philly fan.
