Tavern at the Beach

Gr8 spot for sports, grub & drinks. The ladies also like the spot. Only thing missing is a pool table. However, they used to break out a dance floor BC, prob still happenin if they got the crowd. Stop by for a drink & a game.

Typical bar environment with a bar area and surrounding tables with stoolsEverything is decorated for Christmas and the vibe is great!!Wednesday night seems to be trivia night so the enviroment is lively!!

Food and beers were good!Staff was crazy friendly and efficient. I'm not a big bar goer but this was nice, plus you're right near the beach so there is plenty to walk around and see if it gets too hectic for you during game day or happy hour. I

Came here after doing some foodie tour with my friends to end the night. Vibes are great, drinks were great. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and interested in the trivia going on.

Great place to visit in the Pacific Beach area for some drinks and bar food! Staff is very friendly and attentive. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and some mahi-mahi bites with fries. The mahi-mahi bites were tender and delicious and they give you quite a lot for one order. They were also fried to a perfect crisp. I heard they also have grilled mahi-mahi bites which I definitely have to try the next time. It came with fries and they were also delicious, crisp and seasoned very well. I can't forget about the tartar sauce. It looked like it was made fresh and was very tasty. We started eating right away and forgot to take a picture, there were many more mahi bites than you see in the picture.The ambience was very relaxing and they have tons of seating around the bar and away from the bar. The bar is really cool as it is an oval shaped bar with seating all around.

I came here on a week night. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. The tavern feels like a sports bar that's been toned down in good taste. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken breast was juicy but the sandwich needed more sauce or a salty component but the fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. Their drink selection is pretty good and they have $5 hard seltzer cans. I will come back once construction is complete outside.

My husband and I went here on a trip to San Diego. Admittedly we were a bit inebriated but the food is great. Really big portion sizes, bar/tavern vibe and a great wait staff.

A year ago we broke up with Tavern at the Beach. That visit a year ago we were treated to a two-star experience. Two stars no more! Tavern at the Beach we have reconciled! Reunited and it feels so good!We had some friends visiting from out of town and they were staying at Campland on the Bay. We were hungry for lunch and wanted a spot that we could bicycle to. We checked the Tavern menu online and found it to be a regular, non-brunch menu. Score!The four of us biked over and sat on the hook of the bar. We were greeted by the sweet and lovely Kasi (pronounced like KC). Kasi was super cute, friendly and funny. And she kept our drinks filled!We started with an order of the Shark Bites (fried mahi nuggets served with fries and housemade tarter sauce). Basically a mini fish 'n chips and they were delicious. Little chunks of mahi lightly breaded and fried perfectly. Nice and crispy, not at all greasy. And plentiful! There must've been a dozen in the basket. The housemade tarter sauce was excellent. The fries were excellent too. Be sure to ask for malt vinegar too!Becky and our friend both ordered the Tavern Burger (beef patty, American cheese, diced red onion, pickles with garlic aioli on a brioche bun) and they both loved it. In fact Becky ate the entire burger. Typically I will get half of her hamburger. Not this time! Our friend ordered a side of fries with his burger and he loved them as wellOur friend's wife ordered the Cali Club flatbread. Topped with diced chicken, bacon, avocado, bell pepper, red onion, mozzarella cheese, jalapeno ranch drizzle and cilantro. She loved it.I had the Fish Sando and it was terrific! I chose to have my mahi grilled rather than fried. It was cooked perfectly and topped with a creamy slaw, American cheese, pickles, malt vinegar aioli all nestled in a fantastic brioche bun. The slaw, pickles and wonderful aioli brought the whole thing together. Such a great alternative to a hamburger. Really, really good. Thank you Tavern at the Beach for the excellent menu. Thank you Kasi for the excellent service!You're back! And so are we!

Tavern is amazing. That's all I have to say. Great evening atmosphere and fun people. The pretzels are the best

Took a boy's day trip to the bar to watch the Canelo fight and it went splendid. The wings we ordered were sauced up and the drinks were always cold. The service was great and all the staff were very friendly.
