Step into the heart of Ireland at The Ould Sod, San Diego’s most authentic Irish pub. Established in 1940, this pub is one of the oldest licensed bars in the city, located in the charming neighborhood of Normal Heights. Known for its lively atmosphere and welcoming vibe, The Ould Sod serves up a variety of imported draft beers like Guinness, alongside local craft brews, making it a go-to spot for both regulars and newcomers.

At The Ould Sod, live entertainment is at the core of the experience. Join us every week for traditional Irish music sessions on Tuesday nights, where talented musicians play authentic Irish tunes on instruments like the fiddle, tin whistle, and Uilleann pipes. On Fridays, the pub also features live music, creating the perfect ambiance for a relaxed night out with friends. And for those looking to participate, the weekly karaoke night adds an extra layer of fun.

With its cozy outdoor seating, The Ould Sod is the perfect place to enjoy a pint or two under the San Diego sky. Though we don’t take reservations, you’re always welcome to bring outside food and settle in for a great time. Whether you're here for the live music, the Guinness, or just to soak in the Irish hospitality, The Ould Sod delivers an experience you won’t forget.
