Great time! Good food and fun atmosphere. Bartenders and other customers were all very friendly. They also hold trivia nights!

Good place for Happy Hour. Close to work. Easy street parking this day. Staff are responsive. The street shrimp tacos are the bomb. I ate em all before I realized I hadn't taken a pic

I met the most angry bald headed woman in the ladies bathroom at this bar on a Monday night here. The service was pretty great at the bar though.

Slowest service. 3 drinks delivered to 4 people, then 3 meals delivered to 4 people, I had to bus my own table and get up to ask for missing drinks. Then I was overcharged at the end of it all. Plus burgers were overcooked and dry. No need to ever go back.

After our wedding in La Jolla, ourselves and many of our guests kept the party going at Hennessey's! We worked with them ahead of time to reserve a room and to have late night snacks ready for us when we arrived. Everything went great! The space was clean, the food was great, and service was perfect!

Friendly place. I think about what this place could be if they improved their menu. There's no reason why it's not one of the best places in La Jolla other than that with that location and the good staff and events like karaoke

So a few weeks ago I came here to order lunch. No one attended to my table for over 15 min. I left and wrote a 2 star review herein. The owner reached out and apologized which was very kind.
So I decided to come back and today… I tell you, the service was on point and food was delicious. Had 2 onion soups and a burger and all was very tasty and fresh.
All while I watched the Brazil FIFA game.

An upscale watering hole. Live music when I was there Saturday night. Had a slight issue with the payment system as they tried to make me pay twice, but the system caught it. They apologized and admitted the error and I do believe they discounted my bill for it. Because of their professionalism and willingness to admit the error I can say this is worth a stop off at to finish the night.

21 and up only as well.

I go here to get carry-out and sometimes I go have a glass of wine while waiting. I appreciate how friendly everyone is here.

Great bar for karaoke on a Thursday night, no requirement to be able to sing but all entered into in the best of spirits. The bar tenders get involved and there is a great atmosphere.

The choice of songs by those singing can be slightly odd with some rather downbeat songs being chosen. These are quickly overcome when more upbeat audience pleasing songs are chosen

Absolutely above average American fast food type of place in the area! Their unseasoned fried chicken is so yummy! Customer service is outstanding! I will return & highly recommend this to others.

Discrimation and would give zero stars if possible. Visited with my mother and brothers on Wednesday this week and were refused a seat at the bar because my brother has downs syndrome. Disgusting behaviour avoid.

Nothing quite like a divey bar in the middle of a boujee neighborhood. This place does the trick, drinks are decent, food was a bit over cooked but the prices were great. They have a 1/2 priced app special for football nights which was unexpected yet welcomed.

Side note, the game was entertaining but the patrons were more drama than watching Bravo. You get a lot of emasculated men in the wealthy enclaves who think they’re tough, but they ain’t. Still fun to watch.

Just been turned refused seating at the bar because my son has Down’s syndrome. We were looking forward to an enjoyable evening with the live music. Disgusting. He is 30 years old doesn’t drink alcohol. Discrimination

Great friendly service, tasty Irish nachos and jalapeno quesadilla, strong drinks, and good live music! Plus, it's one of very few places in the area that stay open late!
