It was quite busy, but my friend and I managed to grab the last available table. Staff was friendly and efficient, we got our drinks and food quite quickly given the crowd. 5 Stars during Happy Hour, maybe 4 Stars after Happy Hour. $8 Cocktails include Gimlets, Old Fashioneds, and Vodka Mules...I drank Gimlets as they cheap, refreshing and delicious! And much cheaper than inside the stadium.$8 Nachos...nice snack, its a small dish, but still satisfying.$6 Fries...good enough$17 Burger...not a happy thing, described as Double Smashed Patty, Swiss, Bacon and Special Sauce. Good burger, I've had better, and it sadly did not come with any fries. Hence the extra side order of fries above.

This was my second time back and instead of going with the beer, we grabbed some happy hour appetizers and some cocktails. This made for an amazing happy hour. The drinks were amazing. My gf loved the yacht music and I enjoyed the bite in my mule. The sliders and tacos were amazing, but the fries were even better. So good we got a second order. This will definitely be in the happy hour rotation.

The venue exudes a relaxed and inviting ambiance.The service was exceptional, with a friendly server welcoming us upon arrival and allowing us to choose any available table. During happy hour, the drinks were delightful--I started with an old fashioned and later enjoyed another happy hour cocktail. The food, particularly the nachos, was delicious. Reasonable prices make this place a definite return destination, especially since it's conveniently close to my workplace

We stopped here for food before the Padre game. Great atmosphere. I got the carnitas tacos....sounded boring, but boy were they fantastic! My husband got a pizza , which is his specialty. I wasn't going to drink but holey moley, the espresso martini was literally the best I've EVER had, and im addicted so have had many. What made it so good was the thick hand shaken cream on top!!!! I couldn't resist, so ordered a 2nd. The cream was slightly thinner on the 2nd, but still amazing. Our waitress was super sweet and patient as well.

My favorite place in San Diego! Margaritas are delicious and the entire staff is Amazing! Looks of TVs, music, and you can even bring your fur babies.

Storyhouse is our spot for Friday happy. I would say we come to storyhouse probably 3-6 times a month. Sometimes just for drinks, or happy hour and a snack, and sometimes for dinner. The parmesan garlic fries are delicious and just right for a snack while having a beverage. Their wagyu sliders are also delicious and we are a big fan of their pizzas.They have a full bar and as I went into detail on in my first review for them a number of years ago, they distill their own liquor: Vodka, Gin, Bourbon and Rye. We typically have their classic Old Fashioneds, but their Storyhouse Margarita and Rookie Season are also quite tasty. Most of the time everyone is very friendly and attentive. We enjoy the casual fun vibe. I love their indoor/outdoor feel when the big "garage" windows are up and that they are dog friendly. While our pup hasn't made the wall of dogs yet, they do have a Woof menu and he loves the patty. Very happy with this establishment being in our neighborhood.

I went here before a concert at Petco. Super cute restaurant with fun cocktails and yummy cross cut fries! All the bartenders were super helpful (it was my first time eating here) with good recs on drinks :) I'll be back for some pizza this next time!

SETTINGStoryhouse Spirits is a modern, open-concept restaurant/distillery/cocktail bar serving new American fare, and uniquely crafted cocktails, spirits, wine, canned drinks. This is a gem in the east village neighborhood of downtown San Diego. I appreciate the custom decor and comfy interior.SERVICE5/5 Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful with recommendations.DRINKS5/5 Bullet with Butterfly Wings:Delicious and pleasantly strong, floral, fruity, sweet, and spicy. 4/5 Footsteps Falco:Strong, smoky, and sour. Personally not my thing but I can appreciate the depth of quality. FOOD4.5/5 Tuna Taro Taco (trio):Unique crunchy taro shell filled with soy marinated ahi, a nutty edamame purée, and spicy pickled cucumber. I only wish I had more. These are on the smaller side. 4.5/5 Pesto + Ricotta Pizza with added chicken:Tart oven roasted tomatoes, bright lemon zest, nutty pine nuts, and dashes of melted mozzarella and pesto make this quite a pizza combination. I personally prefer a thicker layer of toppings, and may opt for a thicker crust next time. PARKINGStreet parking is limited. I parked four blocks away in a paid lot - $12 for four hours. P.S.I'd definitely come back for the drinks and to experience the happy hour (I believe 3-6pm daily).

We found this little gem by accident, after stopping at the Church by Lost Abbey. They had a good happy hour and it was even valid on the weekend. 8 dollar drinks and food specials? Yes please! The friendly staff was great and gave us some good choices for both food and drink. We shared an order of delicious soft tacos and two drinks. We got an old fashioned and a gimlet. Both were amazing and made with house spirits. It has a great indoor/outdoor space in East Village. If you want good food, drinks and staff, this is the place!

Cute little airy bar near Petco and east village, I enjoyed the high bar stool chairs and watching the downtown nightlife. Our server was amazing and she was so friendly and informative!! FOOD: Pesto pizza with chicken - kinda dry and the chicken was like tiny little diced pieces Ahi Tuna tacos - creative take on mini tacos with taro chips as a shell, very salty but tasty if you like poke bowls definitely try it! Drinks: drinks were tasty and strong. And lots of other non cocktail options like cider which I love.
