I wouldn’t go back, and I admit I’m basing that almost solely on the decor and ambiance. WAY too Fakey McNewbuilding. Weirdly like a bad Mexican place crossed with a dentist’s office. The only alluring thing they had on tap was their signature stout aged in a Grand Marnier barrel. This was worth the trip, though as I said, it isn’t worth another.

Friday lunch, I walk in, and it’s pretty quite. A beautiful place, with very beautiful servers. I order a flight of tasters for $7.50: California Gold, Sweet Spot Hefe, sunset amber, McGarvey’s, Black Magic Stout, Paradise Pale, Torrey Pines IPA, and specials of 101 IPA and Grand Marnier Stout, Certainly the best of the Oggies as others have said. Food and beers are pretty good, but it’s tough to compete with nearby greatness of Lost Abbey, Green Flash, and Stone.

I like Oggis, but this has got to be the best bar Oggis has to offer. Very courteous staff willing to talk about the brews. Good food as always.

Visited earlier in the day so the place was not packed, sports on the television. I did not eat anything here but a small sampler, which was okay. The beer selection was better than expected with a few new Oggi’s beers (101 IIPA, BA Stout) on tap. I could dig this place if I lived here.The service was prompt and friendly.

My favorite Oggis. Too bad it takes me nearly a friggen hour to get to this one. Why can’t the Oggis in Mission Valley be this good? Anyway, unlike some of the other Oggis, this one generally has special beers on tap, such as Stinger, Hop Whompus, Hop Juice, etc. Plus, they sell 750 ml. of Witch Doctor and Diablo to go.

Pretty waitresses, sports on the TVs, great beer, and great food. The selection is limited to crappy macros and Oggi’s own brews, but their range is diverse. Their standard calzonne and Paradise Pale Ale is one of the best meals in the area, IMO.

Good pizza. Good beer. Missed out on Hop Whompus. Dang!

Missed the Hop Whompus. That was a bummer, but coming from Santee, it is nice to find an Oggi’s that actually carries some VARIETY.
