Deano's Pub East — Restaurant in Santee

No Alcohol / Beer Pub Only Jamie was the girl behind the bar & it was free pool day which was exactly what my just turned 21 yo son & I wanted to do. We played several rounds of pool & had Shocktop draft & overall it was mellow & chill during that time of day which we appreciated. I will say I'm not sure about food service here. I know when we searched for a nearby place for quick games of pool Maps lists it with photos of food 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can say there was not a kitchen at this location; however the original location located in La Mesa may have a kitchen although I don't remember cuz it was evening & I got pretty tipsy while there 😆 luckily we got an Uber 👍🏼

Update about location (04/10/25) Okie dokie so, again my age appropriate son & I headed over to this location for round or two of pool. While playing, we noticed a lil lady walking in from the back area outside with plates of food & placing them in front of the patrons sitting at the bar!! I know riiiiiight?! So we got up from our game & proceeded to follow her when low&behold 🥳 we found a nifty lil corner hutch setup with full grill & a menu of listed food items (no worries I took photos). We were stoked!! You'll find the photos included 👍🏻👍🏻 and I gotta say the wings are NORMAL SIZE not them mini weird wannabe chicken wings like everywhere else [& the $$ for everything is unbeatable]...

We had the pleasure of visiting this bar last year during our road trip from Nevada through California, Arizona, and Utah – and it truly became one of the highlights of our journey. What made this place so special wasn’t just the drinks, but the people. We had the most wonderful and inspiring conversations with the owner and his daughter about politics, society, the USA, and Germany.

From the very first moment, we felt less like guests and more like family. Their warmth and genuine kindness touched us deeply, and they even invited us to come back again. Sadly, we had to leave for Arizona the very next day, but this bar and the amazing people we met there will always stay in our hearts.

We sincerely hope to return one day and share more moments together. Wishing you all the best and sending warm greetings...

Super chill and welcoming place! Deano's Pub is a super cool spot and fits right into east county. Lukas is a great bartender and they have a great selection of beers on tap and in a can. They also had some white claws, wine and twisted tea. They don't serve food but have some snacks and let you order a pizza to be delivered which is so cool. There's pool tables, tons of tvs, music, and a jukebox. Love this place and I think...
