Local watering hole with amazing bartenders (some nights are a miss - depends on the shifts) BUT hands down my two favorite girls that will give you the best service are Chelsea and Kayla! Affordable drinks, cheap pool table, golf game, darts, foose ball, HOT SPOT, sports on TV and Touch tunes jukebox box to keep you entertained no matter what day or time of the week! This is a local bar that is considered a gem. You can bring in your own food to eat inside and they do have small snacks to purchase. Parking sucks now with 8 lanes located behind the alley which seems to not be enough for the patrons, they now have to park on the streets or in our neighborhoods street parking. Many more drunk drivers have been seen on Chicago street since that parking has been minimized.

Awesome bar with great prices! The Spicy blonde behind the bar was super fun even though she's a Padres fan.

Great dive bar, great bartenders. Actually one of the last good dive bars left. I’m friends with one of them so that should color how you look at this review but no food - which is what you get zeros there. Very customer oriented bar, people who come in on the regular make friends which leads to folk bringing food in. Awesome little gem that hasn’t got corrupted with 20 dollar drinks - yet.

The bartenders are all nice and good looking. They're engaging and attentive. The clientele are decent, etc. It's a nice place to visit on my way home afterwork. The bartenders make it so.

Went with my dive bar group! Great turn out! Service was quick and friendly and drinks reasonable. Recommend beer or wine for the house vodka was watered down.

Great neighborhood bar. The bartender was friendly and helpful.when I visit a city I like to find places where the local people hang out. They are usually a lot cheaper and they can help you find the hidden gems of the city. They don't serve food but if you are looking for cheap drinks and a nice corner bar this is the place

Beauty. Grace. Silver Spigot. When I think of American watering holes, I think of the Silver Spigot. I imagine George Washington had many nights longing for a place so hospitable and friendly as the silver spigot. Paul Revere warned the townships of the British to defend places like the Silver Spigot.

My coworkers and I went there last night after a holiday work party and had so much fun! I'm sure our group was annoying and all over the place but this dive bar always feels like home. I don't know her name but the blonde long haired bartender was AMAZING! I asked for a goldrush and instead of her getting annoyed she kindly told me it's a basic bar that doesn't have things like honey or mint. I was happy to order some shots of tequila instead and you can tell she really cares about her customers. Good bartenders have your back, are patient in the chaos, and fast with service. She was above and beyond all of these things and I can't wait to come back. Thanks so much!

Shitty place. Bartender rude ! Came in with family and decided to check ONLY the black family Members. Told us she was mad because she hasn't made money off us since we STARTED with waters. We just came from Luce... yeah we want to start with water... my mom and friends (white) ordered drinks and tipped.. probably didn't know she was my mom. Anyways will never come here again and neither will anyone I know. 0/10 shitty place with shitty bartenders.

The worst dive bar in all of SD, probably the worst dive I've ever been to? Dives are supposed to be neighborhood bars, warm and welcoming. Nope. I've given this spot many many chances, and always a terrible experience. Avoid.

My favorite bar in bay park by the trolley and the bay. Super cosy and fun with pool, darts, and big buck machine. Great place for birthdays and holidays. Local pub feel welcome to all. I have the best time every time I have a chance to get to my home base the Silver Spicket.

HATES LGBTQ! I cannot explain how badly I was treated. I am trans and when I walked, the bartender asked for my ID and then made fun of me for being a different gender then my ID. Cannot stress my distaste for people that are just mean in life.

Cool little place... I like the placement of the pool table... away from the crowd at the bar, but close enough to know what's going on. Great service... I haven't met every bartender yet, but the ones I have are some of the best! Always good music playing, and a comfortable mix of customers.

For a really old dive bar (one of the firsts in SD) its actually really clean and not too dingey. Drinks are good price, they take cash or card. Service is attentive. And clientele can get rowdy as per the course of a dive bar I suppose.

Ally is great bartender! Drinks are cheap. Great lowkey dive bar atmosphere. No wait for pool table. Will come back!

Jami J.

This is a great local bar. I love the atmosphere. I love swinging through on a Saturday to see Ally. She's very chill yet attentive. I love to walk in and made to feel like I'm at home and hanging with friends. Ally is the best!

Went to the spigot a couple weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. It's usually a great bar to stop at for a few drinks. But what's with the small blonde drunk bartender? Long wait to get a drink because she was drinking, chatting it up and not paying attention to customers that had been waiting. I'll go back, but not on a Sunday day.

what a horrible drinks they serve.! Price is definetly does not reflect the quality. way to expensive for such a horrible stuff

Recently had some friends visit from out of town and recommended them the Silver Spiggy as a chill place to crush some beers and play pool. I was showing them the years worth of photos I have of this place and figured it was about damn time I write some fabulous ass Yelp review for the bar that has brought me so many classic memories. First off : cheap beer and pool, which is only made better by the fact that the bartenders here are sick as hell. Ally, one of the bartenders, is legit one of the sole reasons the homies and I come to this bar. It's one thing to have a chill bartender, but another to have a rad chick get shit done and then also remember to ask about your mom. Come check this place out on Saturday nights to experience the antics of Spig captained by the one and only ALLY !!!!

what a terrible place.! I had food poisoning there. low quality drinks, rude bartenders

Sam S.

I got very fast service even though it was a busy Saturday night and they had only one bartender (a woman with brown hair who was very nice). Never took more than a minute or two to order and have my drink.

Ally is the best. I come here just for her. Super hot too. That's all I have for the review but Yelp is making me write more so here's some more babble.

Cool little dive bar on Morena Blvd. Parking in the rear. Bartender was friendly and super fast service. They had peanut butter whisky shots for $4. Which were pretty good. They had a pinball machine, pool table and an AMI jukebox. No frills and to the point kinda bar which is right up my alley.

I'm giving this place 5 stars because of the excellent service I got from Whitney. She was very attentive and polite. (Otherwise I'd give it 3.5 stars) The drinks here are fair and reasonably priced. There is one pool table in the back and a Touch Tune jukebox that takes request. I went on a Sunday and they were showing highlights from the Charger game earlier. I brought my girlfriend here and guy customers here are friendly, but not necessarily polite. Almost all of them tried to ask for her number every time I tried to use the restroom. Brave little douchebags. This doesn't happen everywhere we go, I'll just take it as a compliment.

Sunday nights are amazing, Ally is one of the best bartenders I've known in this type of environment. She handles the craziest guest with proper attitude. It gets crazy late on sundays but but Ally us known to handle the situation and calm everyone down. Great bartender and best customer service. Thank you Ally for being one of the best bartenders in San Diego

A perfect remedy for having your car serviced or avoiding buying a used car at City VW and Chevrolet. No craft beer and minimal A/C but bottled beer and authentic dive atmosphere. Charles Bukowski would approve. Negative reviews of City VW forthcoming ... it is a companion piece.

Best Dive bar of Bay Park! Great drink prices and cute friendly bartenders!!

You shouldn't be surprised after being at the Spigot. It's a dive bar. The regulars aren't going to take your shit, nor should they. I enjoy coming here, reminds me of the places I drank at in college. If you want to be left alone, you will. If you want a witty bartender to give you advice, head on down the street. It's a beer and a shot place. You want something fancy? Fuck off. (I'm sure the bartenders can make it, you're just not picking up on the vibe of the place, man.) I actually started going to this place after I read someone's 1 star review of the Silver Spigot. It's classic, she got called a dumb bitch by the bartender. It was deserved. Had to come check it out. Loved it since then.

Don't waste your money on the jukebox, the regulars override with their SHIT music. Same song three times!?? Bye

Clientele a bit sketchy, I may have seen a drug deal go down outside... Cheap beers - 4 drafts, 2 Guinness and a Miller Lite for $20. Bartender was friendly and hospitable. I'd prefer Mr Peabodys but this was a solid find given the area (Morena blvd).

Overall a very grimy hovel with a shoddy pool table. Dive bars usually have eclectic music, interesting bartenders and witty clientele at least in NYC or LA but this place eats nine inches thanks to WT that frequent the joint. There is a sister establishment called the Nite Owl which is better in my opinion. San Diego is not really an intellectual city but if you have an IQ over 100 you probably won't fit in at either location.

Yelp
It's hot as fuck in here and the manager won't turn on the air!! That's a cheap ass owner for ya. I'll never come back here. Your building is old, and your customers are hot. We ended up going to the Offshore Bar for a much more pleasant experiance. John Taffer would be shaking his fists if he saw this!

I live right up the hill from this bar. I LOVE it. I could see how it's not what everyone's looking for. But if you're looking for a quiet place to have some strong drinks, in a chill environment, with great service- This is it. I prefer to drink at home, generally speaking. But some nights, just before last call, I like to come down here and socialize with the other local industry folk. I'm not going to lie...there are some days of the week, that I show up here (in my night clothes, with an early onset hangover) right when it opens. Not every week, lol, just every now and then...It totally saves me. Not many bars in PB open that early. The opening bartender serves me without judgment. THANK GOD! LOL. There was a long term bartender here, Liz, whom just recently left. About 4 months ago. Since then, it's felt like a revolving door of bartenders, but none of them are good or bad. Just...there.

This bar doesn't have a very good vibe. I went in on Monday, and it was very somber.

I have seen some rip roaring drunks in this place! I don't think anyone gets cut off here! It is interesting, full of "eclectic" individuals. I got sucked in here while my friend was getting his oil changed next door. They only have Budweiser on tap, but plenty of bottled beers. NO BELVEDERE, but they do have Kettel One. I don't think this place has ever had a "make-over" since the early 80s. There are still Budweiser girls in frames with feathered hair and high waisted bikinis on the walls that show off their camel toes. They have 2 pool tables a decent juke box and they take credit cards. I think this dive is another place I would only go during the day... But hey what can I say I have all my teeth. Meh *little* holla

Awesome dive bar. Cheap drinks, sometimes serving popcorn to soak up said cheap drinks, interesting mix of people and never crowded...also, not once has there been a PB douchebag in sight. Enough said.

It's The Silver Spigot...NOT Spigot's. Bud on Tap, super fresh cauz they go through a ton of it- as one if the bartenders said. Place is super cool, super dark and chill. all the bartendress's are Hot and really nice. The regulars are mellow too. This place is like the Bermuda triangle. you go in for a couple of drinks and next thing you know it's last call and you have a $35 tab. Oh yeah the drinks are dirt cheep!

This is what you want when you're looking for a dive bar. Pool table. Music. Beers. Fucking sketchy ass parking lot...lol they have it all. It's so dive-y, that had I not been with friends who drug me here, I'd probably would have never gone. But I'm glad I did...it was great. Paid $11.50 for 3 Pacificos. Our bartender was sweet and friendly. Even after having my ass handed to me in a game of pool, I would return :) Only gave it 4stars, because as a girl, I honestly don't think I'd ever be safe going there by myself...haha, but still pretty good place.

I. love. The. Silver. Spigot. A friend told me to meet her there and warned me multiple times, "Be sure to park in the front! Don't park in the back!" I repeat: PARK IN THE FRONT! NOT THE BACK! Ahem, drinks are super cheap and they make you forget about the sad outdated Budweiser girls posters. There's a pool table, I suck at pool, I kept knocking over the cues and thought I was going to get stabbed, but nobody gave a shit. Apparently, the regulars are country music fans. There was a lady who, confided to us that she was "drunk as a skunk" and kept shouting "Yeeee-haawwww" every minute or so, and she asked us if we liked country music. I told her, "I am going to be honest with you, no." I expected her to be like, "OH HELL NO!" and challenge me to a knife fight in the back, but no, she appreciated my honesty. At some point, I did dance with her to country, then hip-hop. Yes, I think I lost the last bit of "street cred" I had after that night :( There was a major jukebox war going on. Country. Heavy Metal. Hip Hop. I don't even know. Despite our differences in musical taste, the regulars at the Spigot are friendly, colorful, and rather 40 and over individuals who know how to have a good time. I didn't give it 4 stars because there are two restrooms. A men's room. And a "This restroom is for ladies and handicapped only." Silver Spigot thinks ladies and people with disabilities are to be clustered in one social category. Yeeeeeeeeeee-haw.

Silver Spigot Cocktail Lounge Saturday October 23, 2010 Four Stars Warning: This is a Dive Bar: Cheap Drinks, A Coin Operate Pool Table, Ridiculous Drunk Old People, and the Cutest Bartender that I have seen there thus far. What more could you ask for in a bar? I know watching uncoordinated drunk guys dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller by simply waving their t-Rex arms in the air, or the drunken couple grinding and making out at the bar, or the plastered Asian lady who kept trying to speak French but all she could say was "wee wee" (instead Oui) and "Bon Soir." All in all a great place for 4 drinks at $4 a piece. I wish Yelp have a half of a dollar sign for the price range.

Silver Spigot because they have 1 tap, just one and its Budwieser, not Bud Light, Budweiser, and its only $2.50 a pint all day everyday. Now on to the rest of the bar, they have a Daily Specials counter where they have various bottles with a sticker on it with a price. The pours are kind of light, but not in a rip off kind of way. The juke box plays what people pay it to play and during my visit was country and occasional classic rock. I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area, more of a locals bar since its not very accessible. $10 min on CC's

True dive bar. Fun music. Cheap drinks. Locals who being their own snacks Pool table could use to be leveled and parking is dark and scary out back. But a good time for a dive bar. Ill be back

I never heard of this place before because it's sort of located in the middle of a long road in between the residential homes. I like this place for its Dive ness . I believe they only have one kind of beer and it makes things simple (Budweiser) Came in on a Thursday night, and it was a good crowd and not too packed. Just the right amount of spunk, flare and tons of dive ness for the area it is located in!

After driving by the Silver Spigot for over a year I decided to give it a try with a buddy. It was slow and the service was great! Drink prices are definitely reasonable. Definitely a dive bar - which is great! There is a pool table, dart board, and some video games as well to keep us buzzed customers happy. Give this place a try and support local business!

The bartender that works Thursday nights called my wife a c**t! The bartender lost the receipt we gave with a tip, was being rude about the receipt they lost so my wife signed the second receipt with no tip. She walked outside and said my wife was the c word.

The 'Spigot is soooo legit oldskool Clairemont I can't believe it's allowed to continue to exist. Getting all gentrified around that charmless suburban zone of style-freeness, but the 'Spig' sports a nutty crew of demi-hell's angels, wacked washed-up never-quite-made-it-as-a-poolsharks, saggy tattooed broads, and the rare hot young alterno chick, which makes it all worthwhile. That and the cheap beer.

This bar is so amazing! Every time I come here with my Dad, the bartender (Chelsea) knows what we want to drink! And it amazes me every time! Because I don't come here every weekend. They have touch tunes, its an app you can download and begin to play music on their juke box. They have pool and foosball also. Lots of entertainment and cool chill vibes.

It's a neighborhood joint and the regulars would like to keep it that way. Laid back, dark, at times loud, and that's the way I like the Spigot.
