Kensington Club

Kensington, San DiegoWorth trying

A Kensington dive bar Roger calls the epitome of the genre: stiff, quick drinks in a rarely crowded room, with whiskey and beer selections that are serviceable rather than special.

The call

The documented visit included well drinks. This record does not turn that order into a recommendation.

What to order

  • Well drinks

Best for

  • A quiet, cheap dive bar

“The Ken Club is the epitome of a dive bar.”

Roger found the Ken Club quiet and quick with stiff, cheap drinks, a decent-but-unremarkable whiskey selection, and cash-only service.

The Haven Pizzeria

Pizza

A dog-friendly Kensington pizza and beer spot Roger found pleasant to hang out at but not worth the premium on the pizza itself; the Cortez pie fared better than the 'New NY.'

Seafood

A Kensington seafood spot with fishhooks lined along the walls, where Roger's reservation-night order of mac and cheese, ceviche and a whole market fish was let down only by a slightly bland fish that needed a squeeze of lemon.
