Amazing burgers . Some of the best in SD.

Brian Mercado

This place always hits the spot. Great tasting, fresh burgers and good selection of beer . Very chill atmosphere. Not too crowded because it's on the outskirts of downtown.

Formerly ~ Tin Can Alehouse - Fun people, great music , a delicious new menu headlining about a dozen new signature burgers ! Along with a complete overhaul of the bar ! Fine cocktails & fresh beer !

Get a Balboa burger on happy hour and add bacon and an egg . Pair with garlic fries and a drink of your choice. You can’t go wrong.

Christy Landes

Perfect balboa burger . Made to order, juicy with a great bun . Small menu but nothing else needed. Lunch and happy hour special prices make it a bargain too.

OK place with decent beers and burgers . There's really not much to it outside of that. Definitely not a destination bar .

Great burgers but drinks are watery.

Best pours in town and they use good stuff for their well. Always a good sign when your liquor isn't poured from a plastic bottle. - Ben Solis
