Cool, little venue offering live shows on a weekly basis. Relaxed outdoor patio environment on a lively street in the South Park neighborhood of San Diego. Check out their website for more event info.

Great spot to dance! The Saturday night events are always a blast!!

Always fun to come here for the 80s and 90's party. The DJ's are awesome, bartenders are friendly and drinks yummy. They have a good beer selection also and the prices are reasonable. Bathrooms could use a renovation and cleaning staff. They are also very small. But that does not deter me from coming back over and over. Love this place. Like if this review helped you.

This is a nice friendly little place in South Park. It is a fun interesting dive bar with a good beer selection, including Hamms. There is a pool table, jukebox, and dance floor. They host lots of cool events and bands. Everyone working there is chill and the crowd is too. Definitely worth checking out.

The definition of a friendly local bar. Great beer on tap. Friendly service.

The whistle stop takes the hip right out of hipster, Leaving only the obtuse qualities of the genre. If you're cool enough to know the bartender you might get noticed and get a drink in under 15 minutes.

We went to a story telling event! It was great!! The drinks could be a bit more generous, though.

I went there after having a very bad day at work, I was welcomed and helped by Alex and I had a great experience. It was clean, bartender was attentive. Will definitely be coming back here.

As a trainer who used to turn up back in the day… well I’ll just leave it at that ? great neighborhood spot, good music, drinks, and staff.

Had a bad experience with staff.Came in Saturday 11/13/21 to have a drink on their street patio, a friendly employee kindly tells me they will close area in 30 minutes, told that was more that enough time since my girlfriend andI were only having one beer, I went inside and purchased 2 drink for $14 plus tip, walk out to street patio and was stop by another employee at the door and stated I couldn’t take the drinks outside encause area was closed, I said to him your coworker that is next to you told me 30 minutes so I bought the beer it the area was closed why did you allow me to buy the drinks is we couldn’t take them or drink then outside, it made no sense to, can’t take then or drink them so why did I pay for them… the correct way to address this sorrel sir, we closed our apology’s allow me refund your money since you can’t drink them or take them with youWhat was the pint of paying for something you can’t have or enjoy.Was forced to leave drinks at a table in the entrance door.
