San Diego’s original British pub locally owned and operated since 1984 sits in the heart of the iconic, urban neighborhood of Little Italy, just a few city blocks from the San Diego harbor and downtown. A traditional English pub atmosphere serving fine european ales, domestic and local craft beers on tap…18 taps to be exact. Whether its a cold beer or a fine Irish whiskey our full bar will accommodate every palate. Known for the best Fish n’ Chips in the city along with some other local favorites like our hearty Rueben, with our signature Harp-marinated corned beef, cottage pie and some American classics you’d find at a good ‘ol bar.

Reviews
The food is classic, straightforward bar fare. Nothing fancy, but it hits the spot when you’re in the mood for something simple and satisfying. The drinks were solid as well — well made and exactly what you’d expect from a neighborhood bar.
Service was attentive and friendly, which really adds to the experience. Overall, a relaxed, no-frills place that does what it’s meant to do.
The highlight – beer battered pickle spears. Very good – the pickles were crisp and the batter crispy.
It went downhill from there. Service was rushed as if we weren’t going to stick around – maybe we didn’t fit their demographic. After the drinks and food were dropped off, the check appeared quickly.
Two final items – the drink my wife ordered was terrible. It tasted nothing like the name implied.
Also, for the beers you could offer at least one of the many craft lights available. Some people require low carbs due to medical conditions.
Overall, this place is not worth it.
We quickly settled up and to a better bar nearby.
We visited the Princess Pub and Grill hoping for a nice dinner, but unfortunately, our experience was poor from the moment we arrived.
Before we could even enter the restaurant, two customers were blocking the entrance while allowing their pet dogs to play and roll around together. A man wearing a security shirt was sitting nearby on a stool but said nothing as we waited. We had to ask the customers to move so we could pass. My husband has a service dog, and while the customers assured us their dogs were friendly, service dogs shouldn’t interact with other dogs while working. It was concerning that security didn’t intervene or help manage the entrance.
Once inside, we found the seating was self-serve. The table we chose was dirty, so we asked someone to wipe it down. Our waiter—a tall, slender older gentleman who never introduced himself—handed us menus and immediately asked if we were ready to order. When we explained we’d never been there before and needed time to look at the menu, his demeanor remained rushed and impatient.
The restaurant was much louder and busier than anticipated, which was overwhelming. We decided to order our food to go instead of staying. From the start, our waiter seemed to have a negative attitude toward us. He was short with us, spoke down to us, and rushed us through ordering rather than offering any helpful suggestions about the menu.
When our waiter brought our to-go order, it came with no plastic utensils, no napkins, and my husband never hit a to go lemonade. There was no ketchup for the fries or malt vinegar for the fish. Every time we tried to ask for these items, our waiter would disappear before we could speak. When he returned with the check, he left again immediately. Unable to get his attention for what we needed and knowing we’d just find a quiet table outside, we took the malt vinegar bottle with us.
As we were finishing our meal and cleaning up—before we had a chance to return the vinegar—security and our waiter approached our table, grabbed the bottle, and walked away. The waiter simply said, “Seriously?”
Later, as we were walking back to our hotel after getting ice cream at a nearby shop, we happened to pass our waiter on the street. He looked directly at my husband and called him a “cheap bastard.” When Shawn asked why he would say that, I explained that I hadn’t left a tip.
This wasn’t about being cheap—I had tipped our tattoo artist generously earlier that day and tipped the ice cream shop employee who gave us a wonderful recommendation. But this waiter provided poor service from beginning to end and then verbally harassed us after we left the restaurant. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. I have had better service at Olive Garden or Texas Roadhouse.
I cannot recommend the Princess Pub and Grill based on this experience.
Fullers ESB and Old Speckled Hen on tap. Two of my favourite beers.
Steak and ale pie one day and a lamb Sunday roast the next. I cook a better Yorkshire pudding but the roast potatoes were very good.
Beer was superb. Food was perfect.
Sat outside. Service was attentive.
Strongly recommend.
Edit: I had to take another Star out because I called Multiple times their number but their Line was Busy…I had dropped my credit card Somewhere and Needed to Ask if they Found it.
