JP's Pub

Remember Cheers? If not, it is a friendly neighborhood bar with fabulous drinks, prices and events. Trivia? Score! Great wings? Yep, that too!If you want healthy, this is not the place. But if you're in the mood for a good burger, wings and a cold drink to ease it down, you should go. Great service and fun neighbor company.

We were going to have lunch at Fifty9Fifty in Tierrasanta. Neither of us checked it out on Yelp or Goggle as we typically do. Upon arrival we found Fifty9Fifty to be permanently closed.We hopped back into the truck and headed down Santo Road. On the corner of Santo and Clairemont Mesa Blvd. tucked in the corner of a Vons anchored strip mall we spied JP's Pub.JP's offers food. We were hungry. We stopped. JP's looked like a typical no-windows, dark bar. And that's pretty much what we found. The place is big though. Large horseshow bar, pool tables, plenty of TVs. The obligatory regulars sitting at the end of the bar shootin' the shit.In other words; our kind of place!Our bartender Cynthia provided great service. The regs were welcoming and friendly.We weren't looking for a Michelin Star worthy meal, nor were we expecting one. What we found was some really good Pub Grub that was prepared with pride. The cook even came out and checked on us. He wanted to make sure our food was to our liking. Solid.Becky had the cheeseburger and I was intrigued by the fish sando, we shared some fries.. The burger was a good burger. It was a good ol' fashioned flat top burger, melted cheese, LTO, mayo, ketchup, mustard on a sesame seed bun. A pretty sweet deal for 12 bucks.The fish sando was really good. Was it a frozen Costco filet out of a bag? Probably. But it was seasoned nicely and fried perfectly. A tasty slaw covered the bottom bun, good tartar sauce up top. 8 bucks! This was definitely not a shitty Mickey D Filet O' Fish! Fries were really good.If we lived in the neighborhood we'd be JP's regulars shootin' the shit at the end of the bar.

I am furious with the quality, actually the lack of service I received from the employee seemingly be the owner, upon picking up a large pickup order that was placed over thePhone.When I arrived at the bar ( which was pretty fully seated) to pick up my order, I first exchanged words with one woman who seemed to be the most active employee working behind the bar. I told her I was here at to pick up an order for Kim (fake name for privacy purposes) . She then immediately directs me to the man standing behind the register. The First thing he says to me is " Let me tell you the truth, the order was placed at 5:30, we didn't think you would come so we gave away your food to the people In the bar." Then processes to doge accountability for his decision and immediately follows by saying, "you didn't come 15 mins after. The food was sitting here and it was getting soggy in the bags, you would've called and complained anyways." I replied "okay... well I'm here now so are you gonna whip it up again?" He laughed in my face for more than 30 seconds, as I just stand there watching the level of respect getting lower. I'm sure it's part of his position to help find solutions. It's basic customer service values. He then ask me the most disrespectful thing and suggested we call Kim and ask why it took longer than 15 mins to get the order. I am thinking he is definitely sipping on his own supply if he seriously has the Gaul to speak to any customer like that. I snapped and replied "look are you going to take my money and make me another order (over $70.00 worth of food)!" He replies "I don't care about the money I already gave it away." I am thinking; It's not my concern what you decided to do because you thought I wasn't going to pick up the large order that Kim placed via phone, I'm paying you for the oder I will receive to go.He then says " I'll have to charge you extra for taking longer than 15 mins." I walked away at that point. There are serval things that could've made this experience better a few are 1.) If there is some sort of time limit to pick up an Oder, (which is dumb) that should've been told over the phone Or posted on the website as that disclaimer was not given so I don't see the reason for the strong enforcement, unless you don't want to over work your staff. Which is not my problem, pay them more. 2.) Take accountability for the decision that was made and find a solution. You just laughed in my face and gave me NO sort of desire to support your establishment. The Excuses that were made were piling up and it was becoming disturbing. You said the order was placed at 5:30pm give you 15 mins to make which makes the food to be ready around 5:45pm I arrived around 6:10pm. It shouldn't matter how late I come to receive a pick up order, there also could've been steps to confirm my arrival if it mattered that much. I'm quite shocked this was my experience because the family I was picking up for said the food Is usually really good. I guess good food doesn't mean good service!! I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Nestled in a TierraSanta strip with an unsuspecting outer appearance, JPs pub is a local gem just waiting to be discovered. With 2 pool tables, a jukebox, and ample bar seating, it is a traditional American dive bar that will make you feel right at home. They are open daily until 2am (kitchen open until 12pm-7pm Sunday/Monday, 12pm-10am Tues/Sat). The food is cooked fresh and absolutely hits the spot. Not to mention $2 tacos on Tuesdays and $0.75 wings on Thursdays! 5-stars all around for being about as local as it gets, fun, welcoming, and having a solid combination of food/drink. Definitely plan to be back.

Great local spot ....cook is amazing ...every hit dog bun toasted to order and tons of toppings ...my favorite is the Chicago dog ...the burger lunch special best in town ...

What can you say about JPs that hasn't already been said? I went to high school in Tierrasanta back in 1978 and JPs had been there. Changed owners maybe 3 times. JPs is Tierrasantas own dive bar (and only bar) If your a fan of cheap bar food, good and cheap drinks, packed with friendly locals (which I am)Then even if you don't live here, you'll like it. I've never seen shady people, fights, stupid drunks, at JPs. Just friendly people having a good time! Check JPs out. No need to get all dressed up, or act any different. Just cine as you are and be who you are and you'll be welcomed and comfortable.

Stopped by on a whim with friends after work. It was so nice. Drinks were good and it was a great price. Bartender James was so nice. Seemed clean. I would go again.

New kitchen menu! The cheese burger is amazing. $10 beer & burger special. The hotdogs are halal certified.

JP's is an unexpected and fun local find! It has a Dive Bar vibe tucked into a small strip mall in the suburbs. It's definitely popular amongst locals and they make you feel welcomed, even thought I don't live in the area. When I walked in a guy actually said, "Welcome Home!" to me. And added that he's here at least 5 times a week. It's a fun date spot to hang out for a bit. And it's not too loud, so you can still have a conversation. Highlights: - Service is fast and attentive- Great drink selection (good beer on tap options. I opted for a Stone)- Prices are on par with a dive bar- Clean & plenty of seating options, including a rather expansive bar- Large parking lot- They have a digital juke box that you can load music onto from an APP on your phoneI didn't eat, but heard the food is good. I'll definitely be back!

I live in the neighborhood. My family has been here for 4 years. We've never been here but wanted to try it . So....My 22 old daughter and I thought it would be good to try the local hole in the wall. So we walk in. Nobody bothers to even acknowledge us. Ok...it's a Friday after 6. We get a four top and start looking at the menu. We sit and sit and sit. Nobody even says they don't have table service but evidently they don't. I'm not going to write an extended diatribe but needless to say after another 20 minutes a waitress came up to take my daughter's ID. 6 minutes later and on and on and on I told her that she could go ***k herself and we walked out. All we wanted was some wings and a beer. I've heard they have good wings. Will I find out? Nope. I hope you don't get the chance. I'm not going back. Too bad. I'd rather give small local businesses my money. But hopefully PJs won't end up like too many other local establishments here in Tierrasanta
