Just had lunch at the Point Loma Sports Grill & Pub, in Point Loma's Liberty Station (the re-development of the old Naval Training Center (NTC)). The pints are not pints. Unfortunately, no pictures, but some glasses are fat bottomed, indicating a 14 oz. pour. The waitress assured me that the beers were 16 oz., but I don't think so. We compared two glasses and one had a thick bottom and the one without the thick bottom appeared narrower. Good thing the 14 oz. beers were only $4.50.
This place is actually not a bad place to have a beer. It is huge with at least a dozen TVs. The food is decent, but not spectacular and its pricey. The draft list is heavy on the macros and major craft brewers - i.e a Sam Adams' seasonal rotation. It just added Ballast Point's Big Eye IPA, which is is a major upgrade to its beer list. It also has Airedale's Altitude Pale Ale, which is a solid pale ale.
An establishment with the word "pub" in its title should not have short pints. I can see a restaurant, but not a pub. Plus, most places that give you a short pint will let you know it's not 16 oz. Vigilance.
