Gilly’s Bar, in the North Park district of San Diego, is one of the more recent NTN Buzztime sites in The (Just Plain Old) Site-Poor Backyard, San Diego County, CA (The Horribly Site-Poor Golden State). Formerly known as Second Wind, Gilly’s started subscribing to NTN Buzztime (IIRC) either late 2008 or early 2009.
Gilly’s is on El Cajon Blvd. (once the major east-west drag of San Diego before the construction of I-8), less than a block west of major north-south drag Texas St. Parking on El Cajon Blvd. is zoned and metered until 6:00 P.M. Unzoned parking spaces are available on Texas St., Louisiana St. (residential street one block west of and parallel to Texas Street), and Meade Ave. (one block north of and parallel to El Cajon Blvd.).
Gilly’s has fifteen Playmakers; all are kept behind the bar. There are monitors in both the bar and the patio, but most of the NTN Buzztime play tends to be in the bar. Gilly’s staff has been very supportive of NTN Buzztime since the start of their subscription, maintaining at least one monitor in the bar on Channel A. The few times I’ve gone out to the patio, there has also always been one monitor there on Channel A.
Except for Tuesday Steak Night and special events, Gilly’s does not regularly offer food other than prepackaged munchies. They do allow food to be brought in. There’s a good selection of beer on tap and bottled.
For the most part, Gilly’s shows up in network rankings on Friday, around the destination games and Spotlight. Some of the Friday players once played at now NTN-less TGIFriday’s Rancho San Diego. The mainstay, though, is another member of this forum, former St. Louis player Arthur (FLIPPR/AWKRAP).
Once in a while I’ll join them, though for the most part I’m lil more than a button pusher.

). The other is a block or so down Garnet Ave. from Pacific Beach Bar & Grill, Olde City Grill, which I've passed more than a few times when taking a lil walk from PBB&G to either or both of Henry's Market or Trader Joe's, and IMO is more than a lil surprise since I don't recall them having had i-am TV. 
The La Jolla store is one of three in The (Just Plain Old) Site-Poor Backyard, and it will be more than a lil interesting to see if more in this chain have NTN Buzztime installed.
