Phileas Foggs Bar & Restaurant

Good selection of 20 craftbeers.on draft. Unfortunately, no tasters or flights for sale, but they will let you try before you buy. Large beer bottle list. Beer & wine only, no liquor. Tried the double order of the chicken wings, best I've ever had. Great fried brie & irish nachos too. Location is a little middle of nowhere & the decor is kind of lame (weird cartoonish drawings all over). TV above the urinal is hilarious.

Great beers, tasty fried fish and fish tacos, lively atmosphere.
We'll be back!

Food: Don't know where to start.  There are so many good things to be found on the food menu that I strongly suggest you experiment to find your own favorite.

If you love wings, then start there.  The wings are second to none in San Diego.  And I mean none!  My favorite is plain old buffalo and I rarely waste time on all the other flavors.  Crave these on a regular basis.  Most people seem to like the garlic wings.  All of the curry dishes are good.  The burgers are solid.  The Fogganator burger is off-the-charts good, but too big to eat by myself.  Even the deserts are good.  Try the banana spring roll.  It's a flash fried banana with vanilla ice cream.  Perfect if you don't feel like a chocolate flavored whatever with chocolate on top that you find at most places.  Even the breakfast is fantastic (weekends only).  Eggs Benedict with a side of flaming sauce is a sure bet.

Beer: Now add the fact that there are 20 great rotating beers on tap, at least 1/2 of which are always from southern california, and 100 or so bottled beers to choose from and you got the perfect meal.  Don't expect to pay fast food prices though.  But it's worth a $8/$14 meal and a $5/$6 beer.  And don't expect a fine dining atmosphere either.  It's very, very clean but it still has that pub feel and look.  In fact, I would feel fairly comfortable having open heart surgery on the tables there.  It's that clean (anal owners) but you won't notice it unless you're kind of anal retentive too (like me).

I've covered the most important topics, but I'll just mention that the staff is always good, the patrons are usually cool, and it's a good place to enjoy sports.
