It all started with a vision of offering quality food, great beer, and cocktails at a reasonable price. We reached that goal and opened our little neighborhood pub in 2011. In 2016 we added an in-house craft brewery, tasting room, and beer garden. Rancho Peñasquitos is home to our second location as of early 2019.
Knotty Barrel Gastropub would be honored to provide our services for your next event. Each event is bespoke to your tastes and needs, to provide the best experience possible for you and your guests.
Francisco was an amazing server! Our hostess was able to easily accommodate us to an outside seat next to the heater! Francisco was able to tell us all about their specials and draft beers. I ordered the half rack ribs which was amazing (lowkey better than Phil's ) and my girlfriend had the Surf & Turf burrito and both were delicious! Definitely a spot worth checking out.
Service was very friendly and attentive. Food is good, especially considering how fast the chilaquiles disappeared. The large outdoor patio area is dog and kid friendly. Decent beer list with a good list of local beer. Nice place to enjoy brunch on a beautiful San Diego day.
This was my our first time at the knotty Barrel. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! It was really a great customer experience. It was a little cold but other than that everything was great. Thank you.
Used to frequent the East Village location when I lived down there, so I thought I'd check this location out while visiting a friend. Totally different vibe (suburb vs. urban) but same great food and service plus high energy. If I ever need to dine in that area again, it will be a top choice.
This is our favorite neighborhood hang out place. It has a welcoming vibe, consistently great food and service. The staff is super friendly. We've brought many friends with us. We highly recommend it to all.
