This family owned Euro Cafe and Pub had its inspiration to become a reality with the passing of a younger brother of the Fulton Family. This son who lived in New York loved San Diego so much that his New York Friends called him Dan Diego. So in his memory he has become the patron saint that inspires everyone for all of the other members of the family, to the employees  and even to the customers.

The menu is a traditional mix of small plates and hearty pub food, paired with an eclectic mix of excellent Euro Beers. So finding something delicious to eat is never a problem. And the chef preparing these memorable meals is Manager Chef Ryan Fulton, who is also a member of the family.
