San Diego’s Best Burger: Werewolf American Pub

Share

San Diego has some great bars that also serve an awesome burger.  In many cases, these places are only available to those over 21.  However, Werewolf American Pub is different.  This is a bar/restaurant in the center of the tourist area of downtown San Diego.  Werewolf happens to serve one of our favorite burgers in San Diego.

When it comes to finding the best burger we admit that location and ambiance play an important role.  There are lots of great hamburger joints, but Werewolf stands out because it is in the Gaslamp Quarter near the San Diego Convention Center (home to Comic-Con).

Unlike many of the trendy upscale restaurants in the Gaslamp, Werewolf is intentionally going for a dive bar look.  The walls are filled with a hodge-podge of cool decorations.  There is a free popcorn machine in the back.

For the record, the best burgers you can find at a San Diego bar are Balboa Bar and Grill and Rocky’s Crown Pub.  That being said, we end up eating at Werewolf more often because they have a large menu and kids can go.

Werewolf has a large breakfast menu.  They also have tacos and Asian bowls.  This is a place to go when you can’t agree on what to eat.  There is something for everyone.

The burgers at Werewolf come medium well and are served with fries.  Prices range from about $10 to $15 for the Triple Threat.  The Triple Threat is a half-pound burger with pork belly and a fried egg.

My favorite burger at the Werewolf is the Jalapeno Pineapple at $14.  This is a half-pound patty with pineapple, bacon, jack cheese, and of course, jalapenos.  The fries are a highlight.

Werewolf has a solid burger.  It is not the best in San Diego but it holds its own.  However, located in the heart of the touristy, with many over-priced tourist traps, the Werewolf stands out.  Being right by the convention center makes Werewolf American Pub a no-brainer for those visiting Comic-Con.
