Bridges Bar & Grill

Too bad
We got in and they had one person running the whole place including the bar. How do you not have wait staff on a Friday night? Had to go someplace else.

Bridges is a good clean place. I really love there Wing Wednesday. The wings are half price and so is the wine and whiskey. Great day to go in and save money! My favorite wings are the sweet and sour wings. The waitress are very helpful and prompt. Max is the best bartender there he keeps the drinks flowing

Great food… Katie is a rock star waitress! Perfect for large parties. A great place to watch the game! Several beer choices on draft! Definitely will become a regular!

Went here for Sunday «bottomless mimosas». I called ahead of time to make sure they had them. They told me it was $ 15 for the mimosas, and $ 10 if you got an entrée as well. Also told me that bottomless mimosas ended 3. Me, three of my girlfriends and a guy friend. Struggled to get my mimosa refilled every time. Think I only had three. The server refilled my mimosa one time after one o clock and then informed us that it ended at one and she was just doing us a favor. Service was terrible. This wasn’t the servers fault. They were way understaffed, and that falls back on the manager. All three of us ordered entrees and then got charged $ 15 for the mimosas + entrees. Food wasn’t that good. I asked one of the two servers that were there why we got charged $ 15 and then got informed that that was the price for Sunday. Anyway. This place sucked, and I’ll never go back for bottomless mimosas.

This place is pretty good for watching games! I love coming here to watch basketball. The beers on draft are great & I’ve always had friendly service

A group of us came before the motley crue concert a few weeks back. Thank god we came super early.
When we walked in there wasn’t any staff around, we walked towards the back and there were reserved signs on the back tables even though the place was half empty. We finally found an employee and asked if we could sit there. He had to go check with the manager. After a few minutes he finally came back and let us sit there.
After giving us menus the service was horrible, we told him we were in a rush for the concert but it took over an hour and a half to get rounds of drinks and food. We would finish a round and he would be no where in sight, we went up to the bar to order our own drinks but the bartender was too busy talking to other customers to even notice we wanted to buy another drink. We started ordering multiple rounds because we knew he wouldn’t come back for our next order.
The women’s bathroom was flooded, an employee said it was due to disgusting girls from over the weekend. WHY THE HECK COULDN’T YOU FIX IT BY SUNDAY EVENING!!!
This bar honestly looks like it belongs on bar rescue, we joked about it while we were there. We were paying customers being ignored.
Customer service was awful and management doesn’t seem to give a shit about this bar.
I live near by and I’ll never return.

Great place to grab some food and drinks and hang out or watch a game. The happy hour deals, which seem to be daily, are incredible. ½ off wings and $ 3 off craft pitchers… in a Saturday? Yes please. Wings were great, nice beer selection. Staff was super nice and helpful. I did get the tortilla soup, which was lukewarm, lacking in flavor, and not worth the $. Otherwise, this place is a great find!

Based on my experience:
Wings: Legit prices 10 traditional wings for $ 12. Served as is gross! Under cooked. I should have asked for extra crispy well done. BBQ sauce yummy. Ginger teriyaki not a fan. They have ½ wings until 5pm. Not sure what to what time and what days though.
Location: Parking lot small. Liked the inside. Pool tables, shuffle board, lots of tvs, and seating is comfy. Good for get togethers! Sat at the bar that had 4 tvs in front.
Service: Our lady at the bar sucked. Checked up on my guest and I once. Had to ask her for refills. Didn’t tip her well because she didn’t serve us well. The night wasn’t even busy! About 3 other people at the bar.
I’d give this place another chance because they have good deals but for right now 3 stars.

Was hoping this place would be good since it’s so close to my apartment, but sadly it was not.
Beginning with the positives… The staff was friendly and the order of onion rings was A LOT for your money. The 3 stars is solely for the customer service. I’ve waited before and know you can’t choose what is served.
The negatives… The tacos were disgusting. There is no way someone should get away with shredded, cold cheddar cheese on a fish taco. The garlic fries are over hyped and looked as though they were taken out of the freezer section at the grocery store. My husbands burger was also lack-​luster.

I came here Saturday night for some drinks and some music after the Janet Jackson concert at the Viejas arena. It wasn’t as crowded as I’ve seen it before, but they had a DJ playing some hip hop and Latin music. There was no cover to get in. They had a drink specials, buy one shot and get the second free so I ordered a double. The bartender, Robert, was cool and helped us out. It’s a fairly spacious place. Lots of outdoor seating, 2 pool tables, a long bar and indoor seating (and room to dance) as well. When I went to use the bathroom there wasn’t much toilet paper left in any of the stalls. It must have been due to the crowd from earlier.
I tried coming in earlier, before the concert, but they had a $ 5 cover after 6pm due to the MLB playoff games and probably college football. It was pretty crowded. It’s a good sports bar and I hear they have a good brunch. I’ll have to come and check that out another time.

Great place to watch sports games. We came here to watch the Eagles v Falcons game. We arrived around 5 pm and it was half crowded. By 7pm they added more tables and it started to get a bit crowded for the 49ers game. The ambiance was good full of sports loving fans ;) They have a good happy hour-​$ 1 off all draft and bottles and 2 $ off domestic pitchers and 3 $ off import pitchers? Plus half price appetizers if u purchase an alcoholic beverage. The staff is friendly and attentive. Best thing is they have a ton of TVs. There’s a wall where all the daily draft selections are posted. And there’s a dog friendly patio as well. We ordered the garlic fries, two wing orders (teriyaki and mango habanero) a veggie burger and a regular burger at our table. Everyone was pleased with their meal. Out waitress was the one who advised on the flavor a and she didn’t lead us astray. Will def be back.

I don’t understand how this hell hole is in business.
I’ve never been to a place that takes your credit card to sitvdown and order food… just wierd.
The staff always seems inexperienced (must mean the manager our owners are A-​holes asd cant keep employees more then a week.
Really just to much wrong for one review.

The ladies who work here are very friendly, I ordered a Pesto Chicken wrap with garlic fries and it was delicious. Grilled chicken, pesto sauce, avocado, lettus and parmesan cheese wrapped in a spinach wrap. Definitely worth every penny.
Bridges also has a great happy hour with half off appetizers. Pool tables yes, patio seating yes, music and dancing at night. If you like UFC and football they have a lot of Tv’s.
I will return.

In my never ending search for great wings I needed up here one evening. I was quickly seated and greeted by the hostess. My waitress arrived shortly thereafter. I forgot her name but she really was a great waitress. Looks like she will not get the credit she deserves this time. Just know that whoever you are, your hospitality is noticed.
Now on wing Wednesday offer 60 cent wings and half off whiskey. Perfect. I ordered ten wings and a Jack and Coke. I don’t remember exactly which wings I tried but I took a recommendation from my waitress. I believe I tried the Chinese Spice & Lemon Rub and Ginger Teriyaki. All I remember was that both of my choices were great. The wings came out perfectly fried. They were nice and crispy on the outside while inside was still juicy and tender. These accompanied with my whiskey was a great idea. It is a pair I can’t believe I haven’t discovered earlier. I will definitely be back for wing Wednesday in the future.
Aside from the wings, I tried their BLTT with the extra T being turkey. It comes with a side of beer battered fries. Both the sandwich and the fries were great. A nice portioning of all the ingredients between two pieces of bread bundled next to the fries. It is not often I go out and try a sandwich but I am glad I tried this one. I was surprised at the product they put out here. Take no offense Bridges. I am glad I stopped by.

I contacted the manager the same day I wrote this review. He stated the waitress claimed we shorted the ticket. I asked if the money was short and he didn’t know. He also stated he got a different story from his staff. I’m sure he did. He had every excuse for the poor service. I was really upset at the allegation that we didn’t pay for our food and drinks. If any money was missing it’s because she took her tip out of it. We left exact cash down to the nickel, since we couldn’t find her to pay. At least KNOW that we did that instead of making an accusation of theft because that’s what it is if you don’t pay.
My friend that was with me also called and spoke with the manager and was also told the same things I was told. The manager said he would check the cameras and get back with her. We’re still waiting.
NO BUENO!

loved coming here to watch the NBA finals. had a good crowd but service was still on point even when it got really busy. we ordered IPA pitcher, stout pitcher, calamari, ceviche, tater tots, edamame, garlic fries and wings. I loved the stout and calamari. usually fried calamari is in the rings shaped here it kind of looks like chicken fries which i actually prefer. I thought the tater tots and fries were also really delicious. it was extra crispy and just perfect. i did not like the ceviche very much. It just tasted like ketchup. I thought the wings were okay and the edamame to me was kind of confusing. i thought the sauce it was in was kind of pointless, it had taste for about 1 second than it just tasted like plain edamame with garlic pieces. overall i’m glad to come here on game day and can’t wait til next season!

The waitresses are nice and friendly. Awesome breeze comes through the entire place.
There were tons of TVs and great pool area. Reasonable prices on great food and beer/​drink specials. Middle of the day is very chill too!

These people can’t keep there staff because they don’t pay them. Food is fair and overpriced, service, especially from management is insulting at times.
Don’t watch sports games here, they like to listen to them at a volume too high to talk through, and you get to hear all the commercials that way too!
If your a single lady showing up alone, be warned: Reggie the big manager will try to sleep with you, aggressively.

I liked the food and décor and the waitress was attentive. Food was fairly priced and the beer list was good. But I came from out of town with a group of 5 and was disappointed that there was an extra $ 2 charge per person for the us to pay for our food separately (versus all together). It’s not a huge deal, but it was disappointing and a little inconvenient.
Also, do not order the Chicken Wings sauce called Chinese with Lemon Salt… it was waaaaaay oversalted and gross.

This might be the best place to experience the NFL in San Diego… other than Qualcomm Stadium when the Chargers play. Other than that this place is a very good 2^nd. Located near the SDSU campus, this bar is perfect for those trying to catch a football game, especially if you are from the bay. Tailored for Nor Cal folks, this bar had me thinking I was in San Francisco, not San Diego. There are TVs inside but also outside so there isn’t a bad seat. Even the smaller TVs are big enough to for those sitting in an awkward spot.
I went with a couple of friends who were from the bay. They have a full bar with a pretty good selection of beers on tap. We decided to get a pitcher of Blue Moon and started off with onion rings as our appetizer. The large portion size made it enough for the five of us. The onion rings were fresh and went great with ranch. I was pretty hungry so I decided to get the Barbary Coast burger, which consisted of cheddar cheese, pastrami, fried egg and asparagus. It also came with fries. They also have the option of getting the patty with ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ bacon and beef, a la Slater’s, but I passed on it this time. The burger was large and I was barely able to finish it. The burger tasted great, the egg kept everything moist and the asparagus was a pleasant surprise. The buns did a pretty good job holding everything together. The fries were lightly seasoned and tasted great.
The service is pretty good. It wasn’t too busy so they were fairly quick to deliver the food and drinks. They were also kind to split the check as well as to come in during stoppages of play as to not disrupt us watching the game. If you’re a 49er fan or love watching sports in general. I highly recommend watching it at this spot so you don’t miss any of the action!
