Nason's Beer Hall

Visited Nason's around 5 times as I was staying in the Pendry. First day I just had beer: Shock Top and then the Living Haus Pilsner. The next day my partner and I ordered the Wagyu Crunchwrap which came with a Caesar salad and Buffalo Chicken Sliders which came Tater Tots. The Wagyu Crunchwrap was one of the best things we had. We also liked the flavor of the sliders but it the portion was a bit smaller, this was noted by the server though so great heads up. Another time I ordered the Salty Crew Blonde Ale and got the Bone In Chicken Wings deal on Tuesday. Wings were super crispy but juicy, really recommended. Finally the last time I ordered burger with a side for which I got fries. There was a Happy Hour deal for this and price was $11. Overall amazing food, great priced Happy Hour, servers and bartenders were chill. Really recommend this place!

If you're looking for a great place to watch sports in the Gaslamp, look no further! This place has it all: a lively atmosphere, friendly and efficient service, and fantastic food. I especially enjoyed the wings and the burger - both were top-notch.

Solid spot for wings and brews. Their staff was friendly and the service was quick. They have plenty of TVs for sports and it’s a great spot to hangout with friends. The food was also great.

The CUTEST most FESTIVE venue ever. They have so many fun board games, beer pong, giant connect 4, a foosball table, tons of TVs. They have a kids menu suitable for picky eaters- you just have to ask. We got the kids Alfredo, burger, chicken tenders (all $10), and adult cheeseburger ($17). The food itself took a long time (we didn’t mind too much bc we were occupied by said board games) and were all small portions. But tasty! Overall rating: B+, would recommend!

Fun bar in Gaslamp Quarter. We had hamburgers, fries, Caesar salad and beer. All the food was delicious. Their outside patio is really nice. They also have a fun, huge bar inside.

Nasons is a staple every time we’re downtown! Food is 10/10. The vibes are great. They have fun games and tvs! Alec is the best server!!

Staff was amazing. I told them the kind of beer I wanted and the gentleman set me up with a light locker. We didn’t eat here, but the atmosphere and the service was amazing.

Highly recommend doing the happy hour at Nason’s! Great beer, wine, and cocktails - there’s something for everyone. Food was amazing as well but they are large portions so I recommend splitting! The staff was very friendly as well.

Padres season is over so my trips to Nason's will probably be limited if at all until next season as they serve as a bar that's less traveled but still in the mix. I guess you can say that by me saying that, I kind of wish it was a place that I'd go out of my way for. Why? Well, because it once was. I'm truly teetering on 3.5 stars but am rounding up. Why? I'm not sure, because I made three or four trips here during the season and the service at the bar has run a bit cold. I'm not sure if Nason's is still part of the Pendry but if they are I'd expect that level of excellence to continue into even their most humble of concepts, that being Nason's. While I'm not an upscale guy, I can only imagine that people equipped to stay at Pendry ($$$$) would like the balance of casual but elevated. Hell, maybe those people do get that service but I really haven't after the past few trips. The happy is still pretty damn good and the food has not suffered. It's spot on and now the service need to get back on pace.

Came here right when we checked into the hotel in gaslamp. Wanted to start off our vacation with some drinks and an appetizer. Overall ok experience. Might come back to again, but not having any expectations on food. Food 2/5 Chip and guac - The chips were so bad, like they served us stale chips. Guac was good but couldn't make up for the stale chips. Service Was ok, wasn't insanely crowded, but had to wait couple times to get service and the check. Ambiance I liked the decoration, had the beer hall vibe. It was also open concept at the corner so you can people watch.

What a cool bar! Excellent selection of beers, including my favorite, Pliney the Elder. Our beertender was super nice and fun to chat with. We didn't order any food though their menu looked interesting including a Wagyu beef corn dog. I love food on sticks, so can't wait to try!

We stopped by Nason's to grab a beer and watch the Padres game. Located only couple blocks away from Petco Park, Nason's has plenty of screens, games and a nice selection of local drafts, cocktails and typical bar foods. We sat at the bar, the bartenders were friendly and attentive despite our rooting for the opposition.

I love this place. One of the best spots in downtown!! The food and drink selection is superb. I

Thank you for amazing service. Food was great and ALEC our server was more than amazing he was attentive and cared about our experience.. great customer service! Nasons is lucky to have him on staff ! We will be back!

Stopped by yesterday around 11am , to grab some food before our flight . Our bartender was very friendly and promptly served us our drinks and answered any of our questions. We ordered the wings , naked with an extra sauce ($2) on the side . The wings were hot and crispy . The buffalo sauce was very spicy which I loved. The cheeseburger was loaded with toppings we opted out of the bacon which I'm kinda glad because the burger was massive as it is . I honestly wished we knew about this place sooner on our trip so we could've came back to it. They have a game room with retro arcade games and a beer pong set up .

I really wanted to like this spot. From the outside, it looked wonderful. Tons of games.. darts, cornhole, and a huge space that looked modern and nice. Unfortunately, the food was pretty bad. We ordered the pretzel and the San Diego gold chicken wings. The pretzel was okay but the cheese and the mustard were not tasty. The wings were very greasy and we were not fans of the San Diego gold sauce. We ended up ordering a side of ranch and a side of buffalo to dip everything in, which helped! (Can never go wrong with ranch haha). We were given a chicken wing that was very deformed and gross looking. (Pictured below)... I really wish this was not put on our plate because it ruined my appetite for the chicken. Luckily my boyfriend has a stronger stomach :) While the food was edible, I would not recommend coming here for dining. I think this would be an awesome spot to watch football and have a beer. No food. I hate to leave a bad review and hardly ever do, but please step up the food game! The atmosphere is great, the beer selection is great, the food could def be improved.

So the size is deceiving when you walk in. There's an entire other seating area with a lot of arcade games if you pass the original bar and go to the right. The vibe here has always been chill at night when I come. I've never seen it crazy but it seems like the place that might get that way because of the really large seating areas designed for big groups. The beer selection is standard for a bar in East village. The tvs are always playing sports so it's a good spot for that if you're into it. There is a full bar with friendly staff. I had two nice dudes mixing up drinks last time I was there. So the front bar is more for friends and drinking in my opinion. And the game room area is more for the fam and kids etc. It's completely separate so you don't have to co mingle with the other. Haven't had the food here but I heard it's good. Also it's next to other East village bars, so it's a good spot to get dropped off at if you're bar hopping.

My wife showed up by herself to watch her Raiders play while I finished up at my work conference. The staff working that morning made her welcome and comfortable. She enjoyed her French toast and three beers. I had their wings with the San Diego Gold sauce. Being from the South, I appreciated the vinegar flavor. Great place to watch football with good people and atmosphere. Plenty of to show all the games.

Party of 16 got seated. You'd think the waiter would be thinking "ca-Ching!" Instead, we sat there for over ten minutes just waiting for WATER, let alone beer or food. I finally went to the bar to get two beers, and to let them know we were ready. We still had to wait. The entire party ended up leaving. I don't anticipate coming back

Christmas at Nason's Beer Hall is amazing. Huge draft beer selection. Game room all free to play. Football on the tv screens. Menu with loads of delicious bites. One of six different food and beverage venues in the Pendry San Diego hotel. Worth visiting all six + the hotel is a true luxury vibe.

I have been to Nasons a few times now to enjoy some Padres baseball and it is always a pretty solid time. I know it says beer hall but they do have a full bar to please everyone along with a food menu. Most recently it seems like they have updated the menu a bit from what it was before but reading through it all of the burgers sound really good. I went with a side of Mac n cheese because I wanted something simple and it was definitely cheesy! Don't forget about the back game room area which has additional seating and more tvs to enjoy whatever game is on.

We asked if we can sit outside and bartender said yes. We waited and after 15 minutes I kindly asked that maybe we were supposed to give our orders inside. She said no we have servers who I saw 4 of them standing around the bar. Finally he came he looked annoyed and when I asked if they have have Pellegrino or Perrier he smirked and chuckled and said NO. I can't drink due to health issues which by the way I should not have to explain. He took our oders but the way he acted is absolutely audacious. Whether he didn't care for our skin color or he is just outright churlish. We walked out I never expected this in a place like San Diego. We come hear at this area for work and I would rather walk 30 minutes to Little Italy than eat at this place. We only came here because it was recommended but the place is dark and seem filthy and I guess the people that work here have the same demeanor .

we love going to Nasons, it's the best spot for large groups, game night and sports viewing. Bartender and server Rob is guy there and is always so attentive and gives us great drink recommendations. He also has a few featured cocktails on the menu that he created and they are always so delicious!

I had the soggiest, greasiest burger of probably my entire life here. Good thing it was happy hour because it was $10 opposed to $20 - regardless it's way overpriced and didn't hit the mark at all. Chips and guac were good, beer was fine, and the place was clean. Located inside the Pendry, it's a good location. Service was OK. Just really disappointed in the burger.

Great service, really nice location and lots of space. They have a menu if you're hungry, I tried some of the food, but I'll day go for the drinks and the sports games. Service was great!

It's a sports bar so expect that kind of menu. Food is ok, but you're here for the sports or if in December all the holiday lights! The cocktails are amazing and service is always great.

I was really looking forward to checking out Nason's Beer Hall. As someone who loves visiting local spots that serve good beer when I travel, I had high hopes for this place. The name alone had me excited, thinking it would be a great spot to unwind and enjoy some good drinks and company. Unfortunately, my experience was anything but that. I was in town for a convention, and Nason's was part of an after-party event on Saturday night. This place seemed a little tucked away from the other participating spots, but I was determined to find it based on the map and their promising name. I ended up being the first person in there, which was surprising considering the crowds everywhere else. The bar was empty--just me and the three bartenders. You'd think this would mean a more personal, welcoming experience, right? Well, not quite. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely ignored. I tried to interact, but it was clear the bartenders weren't interested. I ordered a beer, hoping things would get better, but instead, I got a front-row seat to them completely ignoring me and turning their backs to me the whole time. I tried to engage, but they seemed more interested in entertaining themselves with some sort of charades game than actually acknowledging a paying customer. There I was, standing alone at the bar, feeling like an inconvenience. As someone who works in a service industry, I know how important it is to make guests feel welcome, especially when no one else is around. I was ready to tip them well, knowing they'd likely be counting on tips from the event crowd. But instead, I felt invisible. No one asked how I was doing, what brought me in, or even offered a simple smile. It was like I wasn't even there. To add insult to injury, they were playing some game with their phones, completely disconnected from the fact that a guest was standing right there. When I asked to take my drink and leave, they seemed relieved and quickly let me go, like I was interrupting their fun. I left feeling unwelcome, unappreciated, and completely disappointed. I'm not writing this off completely--I would consider coming back during the day, hoping for a better experience with different staff. But my first impression of Nason's Beer Hall was just awful. Working in customer service means making people feel welcome, especially during events like this where community involvement should be key. I felt like my dollars didn't matter, and honestly, that's not a feeling anyone should have at a place like this. I love San Diego and frequently visit to check out different spots, but Nason's Beer Hall left a sour taste. I hope they can get it together because no one should walk out of a place feeling the way I did. First impressions matter, and this one was a huge letdown.

Tried this place tonight. Cute quaint place. They had nice Christmas drinks, and it was decorated for Christmas. I got the Jingle Juice and it was sooooo good. I was pleasantly surprised. My husband got a Pilsner which he enjoyed. We got the boneless wings as an appetizer prior to having dinner reservations... the amount of wings they give you is baffling, but in such a good way. I have never seen so many wings on a plate in my life. They were delicious. We got the buffalo flavor with blue cheese. It's a cute little spot and we'll be back again.

The bartender, Mason, was great and the service was outstanding! We ordered food which was also good. The games area looked cool, but we just stayed at the bar chatting with the bartenders and patrons.

The place is booming after the game. There's no host / hostess. There's 7 people running around making drinks. I pull up a stool and sit there. Waiting my turn. Not being a douche. FINALLY the same dude I made eye contact with 17 times before he asks me what I need. I say "A blood orange IPA" he says "Oh it's PAST last call. I just wanted to know if you needed to cash out." Dude, if you're closed place a host or hostess at the door. I even read the sign to make sure it wasn't a private party. If you're closed SAY SO! Plus what's with the Covid hours?!?! It's a post winning game night. Do you guys just like to piss people off for nothing?!?! I'll never step my big toe in your establishment ever again and I'll tell my co workers to do the same! Idiots!

You would think being attached to a wonderful hotel like the Pendry it would be great. Nope! For starters my margarita sucked. Chip & Guac - lots of chips not enough guacamole Wings - dry doused in sauce. The sauce was good though Roasted Veggie Quesadillas - so delicious. The veggies were cooked perfectly with the right amount of cheese. You won't miss the meat. My takeaway from Nason's is come for the beer and pass on the food unless you're getting the veggie quesadillas.

I had the cheeseburger for lunch, side of fries and a coke. The coke was flat and not great. The waiter was friendly, but they did take a while to come. They also don't ever answer the phone. Been calling to see if they can help me with something but they don't answer place overall is nice with lots of seating

Great service! Excellent drinks and bar food. Robert was our bartender and was very helpful. Will come again.

I love beer and when I saw the brown ale on the menu, had to get it. The beer here is fabulous! Came here twice just for the beer. Staff: most are super friendly, helpful, and talkative. I like getting the scoop about beer from locals On our second night, it was late and not many restaurants were open, so came here for a 9:30pm snack of tacos. The tacos were cute and edible but price too high for just edible. For sure come here for the beer!

Made reservations on OpenTable for Saturday at 4:30 for six people party! arrived to the restaurant was a sign that said seat yourself. There was no open seating went to a waiter/staff member said made a reservation on OpenTable for six people asked if that was available she left to go maybe try and figure something out 20 mins later SHE NEVER CAME BACK! Don't be on OpenTable if you can't take reservations! Soo fucking ridiculous worst stuff ever too so rude

This place is fun. Great for an after Padre game. If you are not watching carbs and want to have fun and party. This is the place for you. If you want good food. This is not the place. Examples: the cheese used for the Totes ( Animal Style ) was Square Kraft Cheese. Hope it was Kraft. The game area is nice. Made for older adults. If I had time, I would have love to enjoy it. They have great options. From corn hole to Blitz the arcade game. The customer service is great when you get it. I believe, they are thin staffed, when it comes to Padre game days. The restroom were very clean. But reminded me of a. Mario video game. Only because the walls were a gold sub way tile. I will try this place one more time. During the a weekend. Let's see what the difference is.

To close out our night we stopped here to grab a few. It was a bit chilly as the door are open and there are no heaters. Very nice vibe and I will have to come back another time to fully enjoy. We stuck with beer, but I would like to see what else the menu has.

Disappointing experience. Despite having four bartenders/employees behind the bar, none approached us or offered assistance. We tried to get their attention and even went up to the bar, but were still ignored. The place wasn't even busy-just two occupied tables (a two-top and a six-top). Very let down by the lack of service.

Robert working the night shift on a FRIDAY! Excellent customer service. A+. Good drinks. Outstanding. Comedy.

Cool place to come and catch a game or hang out Indoor and outdoor seating available Tons of Televisions posted up so any where you sit is a good seat (if you are here for a game) you can watch the game but not listen to it cus the music is loud (Not an issue for me Just saying ) Nicely decorated Good music playing Plenty of seating available Customer service is friendly Televisions show more than just one sport which is why we walked in here ..... they are showing the CLIPPER game as well as the Padre game

We had a great lunch today at Nason's. The atmosphere was so fun! Our server was professional and attentive to our needs and orders. We will definitely be back!

The happy hour drinks are terrific. We sat on a high top table with view of people walking by.. Alec is terrific too. Very personable server with a good sense of humor. Kudos to Alec.. A fun and laid back atmosphere; especially if you are on a long three day weekend visiting San Diego. Nason's is on the Pendry Hotel, located at the Gaslamp area. Great location~

The menu wasn't too extensive in terms of food, but the drinks were extensive. I really enjoyed the ribs that we ordered. The pace was well ventilated with the wide windows and it's a great place to watch sports with fellow fans.

Nice spot for a quick beer and to watch the game. Friendly staff and service was quick with a chill ambiance as well.

I've never been here before but me and my gf decided to stop in (cause her mom sent me a reel about it LOL) and it was a great time. Not only was the service, food and drinks great but our bartender Tim was one of the best bartenders I've ever had. He was funny, personable and knew a ton about spirits and the culture. 10/10 highly recommend. Honorable mention: Tipsy elves put on an event randomly while we were here and i got my new favorite Christmas sweater. Best night!

Love this place! It's in a great location and has a nice feel about it. The staff is always lovely. I've only eaten a few times but the food is good too. The star of the show is their lemon drop martinis. They are perfect! I've had different bartenders make them and they all taste the same, which is so impressive. Definitely one of my favorite places in Gaslamp District. A nice stop before the Padres Game

Meh. I'll explain. Stopped by Nason's Beer Hall twice. Once by myself pre-Padres home opener, once with Becky post-Padres home opener. Both times Katherine was tending bar and both times she was excellent. Padres Opening Day, so you can imagine how packed it was. It was butts-to-nuts people. Katherine and her partner behind the bar were handling the crowd like real pros. No problem with service. 5/5 The beer selection is outstanding. Becky was less than thrilled with the seltzer selection. Only offered in cans, only two brands to choose from. I get it. Nason's Beer Hall, not Seltzer Hall, but this is 2023, seltzers are all the rage and plenty of breweries offer them. 3/5 The $17 Carnitas Nachos. [Cue plane nose-diving sound effect] These were a terrible disappointment. $5 nachos at best. Menu description: Jalapeño White Cheese Sauce, Green Onion, Cilantro The portion size was good. I mean it was a sizeable tray of chips. Jalapeño white sauce? Maybe a tablespoon total. Carnitas? A tiny clump here and there. Indiscernible amounts of green onion and cilantro. I'm not going to say that these are the worst nachos we've ever had...okay, yes I will. 0/5 Based on this experience we'd maybe return for a beverage, not for food.

Great place to people watch during Comic-Con. Pay attention to the bill. They automatically put the tip on there for you so don't overpay

2 in our business group made reservations using OpenTable for client meetings but when we got there, they told us they don't take reservations & had no idea what we were talking about. So don't plan on reservations!

Upscale beer hall, impressive draft beer selection, friendly service. The churro cheesecake is a must try!

I stopped in here on a solo trip and the bar was solo friendly it seemed. A lot of others stopping in for a quick bite and drink. It was nicely decorated with Christmas theme for the holidays. Nice people and good service.

Cory and Mallory were great!!! Our first time at Nason's and I will definitely be back because of Cory and Mallory. Drinks and service were amazing!

My friend and I recently visited and had margaritas and shared the Asian glaze bone in wings. For Tuesdays, they have a half off bone in wing special which was nice. Service wise we had everything we needed, but weren't checked in on very often. It is currently decorated for Christmas which adds to the experience. Tables weren't all wiped down when we came in. It is a bar, so it's not the end of the world, but it would be nice if that was taken care of. Overall, it falls into the good not great category for me. I may or may not come back again if in the area.

First time here and it was a good time! Had Lorenzo as a server and he was very friendly and offered great service. We ordered cocktails, a chicken buffalo pizza and loaded tots. Great and affordable food and drinka. The bar was decked in Christmas decor too!

Cory and Mallory were the best to tend us. Food was great and the ambiance was great because of them. I will come back because of them. Thank you guys ‍

Shout out to Cory and Mallory. It was my first time here and I definitely enjoyed it ! I appreciated their amazing service

2.5 stars... Nice looking joint adjacent to the ballpark, so we thought it would be a great spot! Was seated after a few minutes wait while the hostess bussed tables and seated a walk in party before our reservation....unfortunately understaffed is rampant lately. Was disappointed at the management as some employees were standing around the bar chatting while the waitresses and hostess were tied up and slowed our seating, ordering, and drink delivery. Ordered a few beers from their great local selections, as well as the loaded waffle fries. Great portion and plenty of flavor. Also ordered the wings which proved to be average. Ambiance is garden apartment chic, staff was distracted and overwhelmed, prices were in line with expectation. With so many options in the area, and the need for prompt service on game days, I can't commit to coming back...this joint does not make the list.
