Cead Mile Failte (a hundred thousand welcomes) to San Diego’s favourite Irish Pub. Located on Adams Ave, in the heart of one of the cities oldest neighbourhoods, Normal Heights. The Ould Sod has the authentic feel of a local pub that you would find anywhere in the Emerald Isle.

The bar itself is actually the third oldest licensed establishment in San Diego, first opening its doors to patrons away back in 1940 as "Ryan’s bar". In 1943 it became the "Elbow Club" and so it remained for 46 years, then on New Years Eve 1989 it was transformed into "The Ould Sod" by current proprietors Tommy Quinn, Ron Stout and Mick Ward.
