Amplified Ale Works

Absolutely great spot! Visited for a midday lunch. You can beat the location, with beach views from various points of the restaurant. I ordered the chicken wrap and it was delicious! It's served with fries and or salad. The wrap was huge but totally doable. I got to try their falafel which was also really good. The service is mostly self serve. You order at the counter , grab your own utensils and napkins etc... They have various deals and promos as well. Highly recommend, especially during the week when the vibe is more lunch forward and less drinking crowd.

Always good food but the new ordering set up is terrible. I'm out to eat with friends and we have to stand in a snail paced line to order anything. Half the table spends the first 15 minutes in line. Limited staffing. One poor guy has to take orders and make drinks. Just is slow. Great food though

The concept is cool - free flowing beer bar with a rooftop hangout and fun food The execution not so much - a bit of a mess, the food not that good. The service is alright but they really don't do anything besides pour drinks. You have to do everything yourselfThe mezze platter looked like a bunch of store bought stuff slopped on a platechicken fingers were oddly cut chicken pieces fried to death - dry and flavorless

I visited Amplified Ale Works last night for Trivia Night and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food was delicious, especially the Donner fries, which were a standout. The servers were extremely friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere.However, the overall setup left much to be desired. The ordering system was cumbersome, requiring either a trip to the bar or using a QR code on your phone. This contributed to very slow service throughout the evening. Unfortunately, I experienced a service hiccup where a beer I ordered never arrived, yet it was still on my bill. When I brought this up to the waitress, she mentioned she couldn't assist me with the issue. It was only an $8 charge, so I decided not to pursue it further.Despite these setbacks, I generally like Amplified Ale Works. However, last night's experience wasn't the best and highlighted some areas that could use improvement.

A fun rooftop spot for large groups, I got to have a drink and Mediterranean food with my friends on a Saturday night. They had lots of large tables outside with heaters and I was so pleased when the staff so generously saved our reserved table for us past 30 minutes! Some of us had their beer flights and they were good pours of all four flavors. Their doner fries were huge and full of lamb which I appreciated. Lots of shareable options on the menu and everything is ordered through QR code so you can pay separately without having to split the bill. Wait time for food isn't very long at all and your group can hang out as long as you want!

Tacos were great! Awesome view and a really awesome outside seating area with doggos and friendly people. Beer was stellar with some fun guitar related names.

Came here for a work dinner and for trivia night. The place is upstairs and right next to flamingo deck. They have an indoor section and outdoor. The service was great too! They have lots of drink options from cocktails to beers to kombucha. They have good food options too. We tried a handful of plates from salad to Caesar salad wrap to rice and lettuce bowls. The fries were tasty. I really like the ketchup and the ranch from here! It had a different taste and I loved it. The music was a little loud which made it a bit annoying but we were done anyway so we just left. I would love to come another day to try it out again

Came here for the views while walking around Pacific Beach. It's very nice to sit and watch the waves roll in. I ordered the Juneshine kombucha and the fried zucchini. Both are very delicious and not too heavy! It was beautiful out when I was there but they have heaters outside incase it's cold My waitress was very kind and helpful, but you can also order directly to the table via a QR code.

Great service, great food, outstanding atmosphere. We had meatballs, lobster Mac & cheese, rigatoni and grilled vegetables. All were delicious!

I have lived in San Diego and frequent PB for around 3 years and this was my first visit to Amplified Ale works. Not sure how I missed this gem. I went on a Saturday night around 6pm and we sat right away. Service was fast and the servers were kind and checked up on us frequently. Ambiance: we sat outside on a shared table overlooking the water/hotel in front. We were able to see part of the sunset and there are heaters if you get cold. This restaurant is on the second story so it has a nice patio for drinks/food.Drinks: I ordered the rotating Nova hard kombucha in dragon fruit, 6% ABV. I loved it. My family got a stout made by amplified and the white sangria. Highly recommend the white sangria if you like sweet drinks. Food: I got the make your own "bowl" with falafel. I was pleasantly surprised the rice was seasoned with curry. It came with a garlic and spicy habanero sauce which were very good and paired well with the meal. As an appetizer we got the house made pita with 3 different sauces, will be getting that again! My family got the tilapia tacos and the make your own tacos with lamb. Everything tasted really good.After you enjoy the food and views, you can easily walk to the boardwalk to see the water and enjoy the ocean breeze.
