Blarney Stone Pub

The bartender, Betsy, seems to know or at least talks to everyone as if they're longtime friends. She instantly made me feel at home in this cozy pub. It wasn't rowdy in there but people were having a good time. I'd definitely return considering I live in east county!

Like if this place needs my review ... one can judge the place from its cover. At least in San Diego! If you aren't sure whether gaslamp came first or the Blarney, welcome to my think tank. To help you narrow down the search to a fine Irish pub that hosts The Fooks, this is the place.

Good people great times, and live music who could ask for more? This place rocks! One of the best Manhattans I have ever had. Bartenders are amazing and people are friendly!

Very chill spot with affordable drinks.My wife and I, stopped by prior to our dinner reservation and it didn't disappoint. Additionally, they had live music with very talented musicians.

Popped in here last night for a drink while waiting for our table at a nearby restaurant. All I can say is the bartenders here are incredibly nice! They know how to pour a pint of Guinness. Wish we lived closer!!

My friends and I came in on Saturday and there was no bouncer outside so we just walked in. When we went up to the bar the bartender acted so incredulous that we walked in and acted like it was our fault? We gave him our IDs and he checked it and acted very annoyed we were there and that we wanted to order a drink. I ordered a drink and wanted to close out my tab and he was being very aggressive asking if I was sure I was not going to get another drink. It was not busy at all and I know it's a pain to close out a tab and would be annoying if I decided to get another but the bartender was being excessively rude given the situation. I got the vibe he did not want us there to begin with, maybe because we were younger than a majority of people there but who cares!? We weren't being rude or obnoxious but were met with animosity the second we stepped in. I think the bartender was the owner too which is unfortunate. Will never be coming back, don't recommend for anyone wanting to have any fun or be met with kindness

As an Irishman from Boston, I have to say I enjoyed this little pub on the outskirts of San Diego. My Great - great uncle used to be a regular here before he retired out of state, and he is still represented on the wall, which I just love as he was a very well decorated World War II veteran. I think that's the thing that reminds me most of the Irish pubs, they're connection to the past. Clearly they have a commitment to music, and playing plenty of the Irish classics that I grew up with. The Guinness was good, the Redbreast better! It's not about the frills, it's about the atmosphere, and this had it authentically in Irish spades!

Cool Irish pub, just wish it was closer great music and atmosphere. We love seeing The Fooks!

Came here to watch the Padres in the playoffs, such an amazing bar. The bartender and all of the staff was exceptional, drinks were delicious. Highly recommend the old-fashioned, they do it right. The crowd was just really nice and cool. Did not get any food but saw loads of fish and chips come out that looked absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I decided that this will be our new go to bar anytime we are in town for a Padres game!

Great little hole in the wall bar that you'd never find unless you know the area or Google "bars near me" while at Target. Of course, my reason is the latter pleasantly surprised to find this place. AMI too. If you know, you know
