Great dive bar ... miserable parking , but that just makes you take a taxi , which you'll likely end up taking home anyway. Bartender Barbara will set you up with a great whiskey ; shoot some pool...

Malfunction! 25 yrs hasn't been too kind to the F-14 Tom Cat table here at this aviation themed dive. It takes tokens (get em from the bar ), but shhh, it only takes 1 (~25¢) per play. Glitches galore!

Soojung Lee

Awesome bartenders make legid drinks, free popcorn ...thinking of one beer walking in but you will ended up having multiple whiskey orders if you see the bar !

Lisa Johnson

Only place my husband & I have been back to twice on our honeymoon. All the bartenders here really know their shit. Drinks are great and not too expensive . Will be back every time I come to san Diego

Tony Soto

Great local bar to get away from the downtown chaos! All kinds of people. Great staff and atmosphere! Over 400 types of whiskey ! How can you go wrong. I will definately come back next time in town .

Eric Venker

Great little dive spot with a huge number of whiskeys and an impressive and original cocktail list. Phenomenal prices on drinks as well . Worth a stop.

Try a new whiskey you've never tasted, pick a couple tracks off the awesome jukebox , and most importantly, don't forget to leave a tip! Those bartenders are working hard to make sure you have a blast!

I used to love Aero Club. We came here to shoot pool and have whiskey . now they don't have pool and their bartender is a bitch who called us out for waiting to order drinks until our friends got here

The Most Interesting Man in the World

I had my first Moscow Mule here. The original owner was kind enough to let me stable him behind the building for a couple of days.

Barbara and Chad (the bartenders ) have the best attitudes for a good ole' night of fun. Make sure to get a whisky Ginger with the Ginger beer one of my favorite drinks at a good price.
