(The bar is also fully stocked to suit any other distinguishing palate.) The garage-door style windows open up the interior space to the Gaslamp’s sunny disposition. Set amidst reclaimed wood from the original foundation and a warm modernist design, the restaurant and bar support San Diego’s best micro- and nano-breweries. What results from this pairing is a uniquely American dining experience and aesthetic that remind all patrons of two simple ideas: life is meant to be sipped and savored, and good times should always be shared.īarleymash is the downtown place-to-be for locals and tourists alike. The name, in fact, refers to the typical grain mixture used in the brewing and distillation process of both beer and bourbon.

LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SAN DIEGO’S GASLAMP DISTRICT, barleymash is the fun, high-energy downtown restaurant and bar that celebrates the richness of American culture through its appetizing and progressive bar fare.
