A new gastropub has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Called Knotty Barrel, the newcomer is located at 13211 Black Mountain Road in Rancho Penasquitos.
This is the Knotty Barrel's second restaurant. The first location, a neighborhood pub opened 2011 in East Village, followed by an in-house brewery, tasting room and beer garden in 2016.
This spot's menu features starters, salads, sandwiches and main entrees. Look for its house-made beer cheese, tuna melt, chicken pot pie and the Knotty burger, which customers may pair with parmesan fries, rosemary tater tots or waffle-cut sweet potato fries.
The new gastropub has garnered rave reviews thus far, with a five-star rating out of eight reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Marj T. wrote, “It was crowded opening night; however, the staff was good at keeping up and the bartenders are great. The atmosphere was open and inviting inside and out. The fire pits are a great touch.”
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Knotty Barrel is open from 5 p.m.–midnight on Tuesday-Thursday, 4 p.m.–2 a.m. on Friday, 3 p.m.–2 a.m. on Saturday and noon–midnight on Sunday. (It's closed on Monday.)
