Silver Spigot Cocktail Lounge, San Diego CA

Great drink prices, friendly bartenders, decent atmosphere, great jukebox. Fun place to hang out, play pool.

The Silver Spigot is a landmark dive bar. A cornerstone of Bay Park that has outlasted many. Go for it!

Great little neighborhood dive bar. I stop in alone for a drink and always meet someone from the neighborhood to chat with.

I walked in and asked for a menu or what type of cocktails they did and the bartender said "seriously? ". Very unprofessional and uncalled for.

Fun, cozy, that home bar feels like cheers and bay park in a bar and great drinks and cool people!
They have a pool table darts and a jukebox including TVs on all the sports it’s my favorite spot come on down and have a drink with me!

Layed back environment, but watch yourself, lot of clientele don't like to be bothered.

Weird tweeker guy was super aggressive, and my songs weren't played on the juke box. Not a friendly pub

Hidden gem on the second floor. It's hard to see this place from the street. The artwork is really interesting. The space is huge. The drinks are fun and pretty good. The bar food here is decent. The cauliflower was really good. The chicken nuggets were ok, and the Arancini balls were a bit spicier than expected.

Came here for a couple of pre-Valentine's dinner drinks with my bf because it was nearby the restaurant. We saw that they were having a Pajama party for vday so I was kind of reluctant to go in, but no one was really participating "yet", the bouncer said. He was nice and funny. They also had drink specials that day though ($1 off cocktails and beer, $2 off wine). I wasn't too sure if this was for happy hour or Valentine's day since we were each given a ticket for it.

Alchemist is a cool spot to hang out after work and catch up with friends/colleagues. The vibe of the place is dimly lit, loud music, and fun people making it a very cozy setting despite the noise. The place reminds me of Local Edition with the mixed cocktail menu but with cooler names. I had the "Somethin' With Vokahh" and it was great!

This is a great place for fresh cocktails - I would highly recommend the Basil Gimlet over most of the other options. The wait at the bar can be long at times, but well worth it. And if you can snag a table, good for you (I've never been able to).

Silver Spigot Cocktail Lounge is a nice bar, great choice of drinks and a chill atmosphere. Service is friendly and there is quite some space so theres a big chance you will find seating. As the name implies it is not so much a bar for beers, but it has a great choice of whiskeys including Japanese ones. Would definitely go back, it is a shame we've found it on the last evening.

TL;DR Great drinks (trust your bartender if you can't decide from the menu), loud music, fun interior, limited (AKA no) seating after 10pm on the weekend
