The Ould Sod

I've been coming to the Ould Sod since 2002 and it has always been a great experience. The addition of a back bar area really opens the place up from its 1970s style dive bar schematic to incorporate more types of activities that bar customers expect these days. Also it hands down has the best Guinness in San Diego.

Loved the pictures and signs on the wall. The traditional music was fun to hear. Bar service was slow and people seemed cliquey. Guinness was good, Sprite was very sugary. Went back a month later and woman bar tender was super nice and fast! Tuesday nights have traditional music and it was still going on when we arrived a bit before 10pm!

A cozy local spot, that since the expansion of the back patio has enabled it to serve more people without feeling cramped and believe me on Friday and Saturday nights it gets busy. The owners are lovely and work behind the bar with a team of Awesome Employees shout out to the security and bartenders for always being warm, welcoming, and great at their jobs. The drinks are priced well and they have live Irish music and karaoke on some nights. I honestly never remember when those nights are.... sorry. They also have nightly specials and a happy hour.
