Categories:
Seafood Markets,
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Very fresh seafood. The Alaskan Halibut and Chips are my favorite fish and chips anywhere. Best seafood in PB for sure. i like the style, which is half restaurant, half market......but it makes me feel like it shouldnt cost as much as it does.…More »
2. Rocky's Crown Pub
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 273-9140
Rocky's is solid every time. One of the top burgers around.....
No need to overhype it. Good bar, always satisfies.
3. Isabel's Cantina
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 272-8400
Categories:
Latin American,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Awesome fusion breakfasts here, and to be honest, any meal is good here. A cool open space, the mixes of latin and asian flavors here are always interesting. Many healthy options on the menu, tofu, egg whites, rbown rice, soyrizo, etc. But I love…More »
4. In-N-Out Burger
Pacific Beach, CA 92109
(800) 786-1000
This is a review for all In n Out Burgers, I just happen to be posting here since it is the one I frequent the most. This burger cant be beaten in this category, that is a cheap, quick burger. Everything is pretty much perfect, and it is a perfect…More »
5. PB Sushi
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 274-9755
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
The value you get here is outstanding. Value doesnt just mean cheap. It is a balance between quality and cost. More importantly, this is a fun place and does crazy business. They are always busy for a reason, and it is the most busy sushi place…More »
6. Taco Surf Taco Shop
Great Carne asada here and it has been consistent for years. I also love the build your own breakfasts burro with carne, eggs, cheese, potato. But my sleeper call here is tortilla soup! You gotta love the classic surf style taco shop with the…More »
7. Cass Street Bar & Grill
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 270-1320
Categories:
Pubs,
American (Traditional),
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Best Salads in a Bar. I know, I dont think of ordering a salad usually when I am drinking beer. But this is a cool spot, without the douchebags that can typically occupy a bar in PB. This is pretty close to dive bar, which is what makes it fun. Good…More »
8. World Famous
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 272-3100
Categories:
Seafood,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
3.5 rounding up for the location. Parking blows, it makes sense just to valet it....but the view makes up for it. There are surprisingly few places in SD to sit and be on the beach, and this is one of them. I like it best for breakfast, usually an…More »
9. Kono's Surf Club Cafe
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 483-1669
Categories:
Burgers,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Ok, first off the food is mediocre, a good scramble and it does the job. But this place is iconic for more than the food and that's why it gets 4 stars. I always think to send friends here visiting from out of town. You gotta love the surf vibe, the…More »
10. PB Shore Club
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 272-7873
Categories:
Bars,
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
This is a place to drink your ass off. You get a lively crowd, a good view of the beach and schooners. If you are scared of schooners, you should be ashamed of yourself. And Shore Club is no place for shame. Screw eating. This a "no shower…More »
11. Enoteca Adriano
I'm gonna be generous here, but I find it to be more like 3.5 stars. Nothing was bad really....we enjoyed the meal fine. In some ways it exceeded expectations. But perhaps I was not expecting Michelin status.
It started with trying to make…More »
12. Latitude 32
Cozy little locals hangout...I used to come more when I lived a block away. Beer and wine only, cash only....and one pool table. It is small, usually full. And these reasons keep a lot of people away. Fine by me....
They used to make a hell of…More »
13. Firehouse American Eatery & Lounge
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 274-3100
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
They have much better food than I expected for a PB bar....but it has a cool vibe here too. Slightly elevated in chic-ness compared to other beachy bars filled with d-bags.
The rooftop is a good place to spend an afternoon and sometimes they have a…More »
14. Ciro's Pizzeria & Beerhouse
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 483-4624
Categories:
Pizza,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
This review is mainly for the fact that Olde City grill still lives on in the Cheesesteak here. This is for sure the best thing to order here, and surprisingly authentic, Amoroso roll and all. Read reviews from actual Philly people and they will be…More »
15. Mr. Frostie
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 274-9977
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
A classic little shake shack with soft serve ice cream(very nostalgic tasting to me since I have been going to since I was a kid). Choco-dipped cones are good, and where else can you get these? But my favorite is when Lemon is the special flavor of…More »

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
3.5 rounding down.....It is the most chic of places in PB. And the views are great. They have some pretty decent cocktails, and their beer program has improved over the years.
But when I went this weekend, I was reminded why I never eat here. A few…More »
17. London's West End
West End has been a great dive bar for so many years to SD locals....It's "halfers"(half liquor in the glass) are always there to put you on your ass and deliver on debauchery. It is up there with the Waterfront, Lamplighter, Tivoli, and others for…More »

San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 750-2512
Categories:
Bars,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Boring drink menu here.....but much of PB lacks a good bar program. Red headed sluts, mind erasers and purple hooters is what you will see.....
But the coolest part I think is the rooftop deck, which is great on a nice day. It has views and loungy…More »

Categories:

Men's Clothing,

Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Great price points, and you can make your custom color combination from their designs on a Tshirt or sweatshirt. This is slick looking store and what looks like it could be an event space. A nice addition for well cut clothes. I was surprised at…More »
21. Pacific Beach AleHouse
When I go to PB, I usually want to day drink or feel like I am mixing it up with college kids and beach rats. So this place doesnt fit into that plan. I have come here mostly when the line was too long at Shore Club. Cant get a good feel here, and…More »
22. Pernicano's Family Restaurant
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 488-2900
So, it is a bit like coming to a carnival. The place is like a funhouse, with bizarre decorations, a cast of wily characters and there is even a boat in the middle of the restaurant. I have many memories as a kid here, and there are usually dozens…More »
23. Bare Back Grill
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 274-7117
A cool offering...meaning a shady respite from the beach, cold brews and a pretty good burger. I have issues with the burger if you try to enter it in a competition against others, but overall I like this place. Casual, mellow but a fun Aussie vibe…More »
24. Cane's Bar & Grill - CLOSED
The food here is pretty gross. But the rooftop bar with a view saves the 2 stars for me. Overall, This place is a letdown for food, but if you want to sit up top in the sun and watch tourists, it serves its purpose. I guess as a music venue it is…More »
25. Lahaina Beach House
San Diego, CA 92109
(858) 270-3888
Categories:
Restaurants,
Bars
Neighbourhood: Pacific Beach
Kind of a weird crowd....it never feels quite right to me. The food is greasy, but may help a a hangover if you are in a hair of the dog kind of mood. But I cant really call it that good....
This places relies totally on the location....and you can…More »
