Common Theory
Public House


Born in 2014. Still Going Strong.
Common Theory didn't come from a business plan — it came from a group of friends who just refused to settle for a boring night out. Great craft beer, food that actually excites you, and the kind of atmosphere where strangers become regulars! That was the dream.
We built this place to feel like your neighborhood pub, because that's exactly what it is.
A decade-plus later, we're still chasing it — and we'd love for you to be part of it.
Who
We Are

Korean-Chinese-Mexican-American
Culture Clash
Our kitchen focuses on enhancing and elevating simple, natural ingredients found in San Diego and throughout California using contemporary cooking sensibilities of different ethnic backgrounds.
The symbiotic culture clash of our Korean-Chinese-Mexican-American background genuinely showcases itself in Common Theory’s ambiance, food, and drinks; demonstrating one common story of many of what it means to be Californian.
