Werewolf is an American pub on Fourth Avenue in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, where a weekend brunch crowd gives way to karaoke singers after dark. Locals and visitors come for comfort food, creative cocktails, and a room that gets louder as the night goes on. It holds a 4.5-star rating.
The menu sticks to American bar fare: burgers, wings, loaded fries, and shareable plates built to go with a drink. Brunch adds breakfast staples and morning cocktails, which makes Werewolf a common first stop before a Padres game or a day downtown. At night the mood changes. Karaoke draws groups who sing everything from power ballads to recent pop hits, and bartenders keep the cocktail list moving with house creations alongside beer and standard pours. Expect a crowded, social room rather than a quiet dinner.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend brunch and Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest times. Crowds also surge before and after events at Petco Park and the San Diego Convention Center, both within walking distance. For a calmer meal, try a weekday lunch or an early weekday evening. If you want to sing, arrive early and add your name to the karaoke list before the late rush. Large groups should call ahead about seating. Hours and karaoke nights can change, so confirm the current schedule directly with the venue before you go. Downtown parking is tight and expensive, so the MTS Trolley, rideshare, or walking from a Gaslamp hotel are the easiest ways to get there.
