After striking out elsewhere in the Gaslamp, Roger ended up at this Irish pub for fish and chips; the dish was skimpy and tasted frozen, but he credited the place with a good beer selection.

    “The portions were quite skimpy but also looked like it came out of some frozen fish stick packages from Food 4 Less”

    Roger and a friend settled for this Gaslamp Irish pub after not finding seats elsewhere; service was slow to start and the fish and chips came out skimpy and tasting frozen, needing extra vinegar to help, though he gave credit for a solid beer selection.

    A low-key rooftop whiskey-cocktail bar above a Gaslamp hotel; Roger says the list is smaller than Whiskey House or Aero's but the Old Fashioned or Sazerac still hits, alongside tasty tater tots.

    A family-owned Gaslamp taqueria Roger calls a great substitute for El Gordo, with more generous portions and carne asada, adobada, and birria all on point.
