Pat's provides-- which is to say, they had the cold beer, the ice, and various chips and candy that the casual diet-cheater needs while on a mini-vacation. The store clerk offered that my purchase price--$19.68-- was the same year he moved from his home town in Iraq to the capital... a nice guy who entrusted me-- a total stranger-- with an honor's system hook up if I needed more ice and he wasn't there. Who says humans are doomed? I like this guy, a testament to the reciprocity of kindness, courtesy, and a friendly smile shared unto itself. Vin Scully might call Pat's "a modest thing, but thine own." Arguably the closest of many liquor stores to Dog Beach, Pat's is a cool little spot. What they lack in floor space they more than accommodate with charm and local pride, extended even to a SD pseudo-expat like me. Bottoms up.

I love that. It really is the perfect little shop with all the necessities. They have all the best snacks and Pinot Noir for $3.49 (cuz I'm classy like that). The staff are great and quick to get you in and out the door, which I appreciate. Pat's really does emulate a true convince store. It can't get much more convenient that Pat's!

Staying at the OB Hotel, we remembered to bring plenty of booze, we forgot water. Off to Newport Farms just down the street on Newport. Four "cheap" bottles of water for $5. On the surface four for $5 sounds pretty good. Except that a couple days before, I bought 48 bottles for $5 at Vons. I wish I remembered to pack some! The next day we realized that we needed paper towels and four more bottles of water. Escaped for around $10. The price we pay for convenience, I guess. Guy at the register was friendly.

But low and behold.... I'm in craft beer heaven! My brother got me into craft beers about a year ago and now I'm always on the hunt for some new sour beers. So since I'm new to the craft beer game I always like to ask others for advice. The guy Ivan who owns the place is super knowledgable. He asked me about beers I've liked and recommended a few suggestions (that turned out to be great!). I'm always around OB so I definitely will be back again to stock up! P.S. My husband and I were so enamored by the beers that we forgot the hot Cheetos! No worries we walked back and got them and my son was happy.

Like i said, selection is good but the interaction made me want to never come back again. Don't let anyone treat you like a joke. Good place to get your things but i put one star because you dont want someone to treat you like that. Don't judge a book by its cover, even when you have proof.

My friend grabbed a cold Italian sub and that was also pretty tasty, but you really can't beat a hot juicy sandwich in my opinion.

Stopped there on the way back from the airport and didn't expect the sandwiches to be so effing good. So worth it.

Highly recommended!

That should tell you everything. The Harpoon -- pastrami piled high on an onion roll with extra horseradish -- is not just a sandwich, it's a spiritual experience. First bite hits like a freight train of flavor and suddenly all your life decisions make sense. Perfect salt, perfect heat, perfect stack. Whoever's back there building these things deserves a medal. This spot is pure OB energy -- fast, friendly, zero nonsense, and the kind of place where you walk in hungry and walk out plotting your next visit before you even hit the door. They don't just make sandwiches... they make addictions. As someone running BLING EM RIM REPAIR doing mobile wheel repair in Ocean Beach, I'm bouncing job to job all day fixing curb rash and keeping luxury wheels dialed -- and this is hands-down the fuel stop that keeps the engine running. If you see the wheel repair van outside, you already know I'm inside grabbing another Harpoon. Chris's Liquors & Deli -- you're dangerous in the best way possible. Keep slinging greatness. Bite them up, bro.

It was $4.95 for a small (16oz) cup. Where I'm from, that would have been $7 or so. I was expecting higher prices since it's such a touristy area but I was pleasantly surprised.

We ordered a BLT on sourdough with extra bacon. You gave us soggy French bread torpedo with lettuce and tomatoes, and something that wasn't even crispy bacon.

You gave me 3 slices of bread and the middle slice was so soggy, drenched in mayo and I don't know what, yet the top and bottom pieces of bread were plain,completely dry. It only had 2 small pieces of Turkey on it, barely any avocado or bacon. I don't know who was making your sandwiches today. But shame on you it was disgusting. Thank God I ordered through Grubhub so I got my money back.I dont know if you even care that you just lost a customer of 30 years.
