First time at I Bar. Been a fan since seeing Top Gun Mavericks version on big screen. Very small but very authentic and a tribute to all aviators. If you can go, get there.

Figured i had to stop by when in town to the bar Hard Deck was copied from. Cool place to visit and have a drink. Added my own units patch, met an astronaut, and had a few tasty beverages.

Wife was stationed here as CH46 pilot with Helicopter Support Squadron HC-11 “Gunbearers”. Im Army she told me keep hands in pockets dont touch anything or I have to buy everyone a drink. Amazing place great atmosphere. And yes we have that Army-Navy rivalry.

Been wanting to visit this place for awhile since I’m a big fan of TopGun: Maverick. This bar was the inspiration for the Hard Deck bar in the movie, down to the airplane models on the ceiling.

It’s a very small place and doesn’t accommodate a a lot of people. For special events, they do have an adjacent room that’s large enough for ceremonies.

Some things to keep in mind: don’t touch the model airplanes and don’t put your phone on the bar (or else you’ll have to buy everyone a round). You’ll also need a military ID to get in base unless you’re with someone who has one.

The *Inspiration* for penny’s bar in Top Gun Maverick. Many elements were taken from the bar into the set used for the movie, including the bell for hats and cell phones on the table. Per CBS8’s segment on it, the bar was too small to film on.

A Navy Helicopter Heritage Bar w/ lots of models.
4 rules: 1.no cover inside
2. Don’t touch the models
3. No Phones on Bar
4. Dice off the floor

Break one… buy the bar a round.

Open to those with base access. One of the top 3 military bars I’ve visited. Decent well of drinks. Friendly aviators.

Definitely worth a stop in if you are on the corondado base. The bartenders are very friendly. But make sure to follow the rules or you might find yourself buying the bar a round.

Great friendly little bar on base. They have free pizza during “happy hour”. I my case it was not free. It was the first place I found after arriving on a Space A flight and checking into my room. Don’t be a rookie like me and walk in with a baseball cap (hat) or you will hear cheers and a bell ring. Next thing you know your buying a round for the bar. Thankfully, when I entered only four people where at the bar. The round was $32.00 with tip. Four new friends, great conversation and several slices of pizza (to try to make up for the loss).

They also have rules against putting a cell phone on the bar (almost got me on that one also) & touching any of the model aircraft hanging from the ceiling so be careful.

Hey, I am retired Air Force what do I know about crazy Navy rules. It was all good.

On board NAS North Island. Inspired a Top Gun 2 movie set. Legendary bar for Naval Aviators. I hope my ashes end up on a shelf behind the bar.

This on base bar/club is a hidden gem. We had a great command outing and I enjoyed a solo visit once before as well. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Just be certain to read the rules or you may find yourself buying a round for the room!
