They have everything you may need and will treat you better than any other convenience store. Even my dog loves going there! (Mark is her favorite) They sell everything - ice, propane, firewood bundles, all sorts of beverages, snacks, have a water fill-up station and even currently have where you can rent fire pits (a separate entity). You name it, they probably have it. Located about a block from Dog Beach, so super convenient for the beach goers. There will be other people saying that they are homies with the crew, but I know and they know, that I'm the favorite customer :)

During our recent stay in OB for a couple of nights, I wandered up the street to Pat's; my…read moremission-- to restock my hotel mini fridge with copious quantities of adult frosty beverages and a small assortment of snack treats and food stuffs... 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.

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.

Is it just me, or there something magical to the mayo lettuce tomato combo that hits different against a pastrami? My only note was that the meats were just slightly salty, but with the mix of the rest it didn't break the sandwich too much. Also had the torpedo which I'd say was slimmer than I'd want. Often the challenge downside with a torpedo, so I take that one on me (but really Mrs Flask). True 4.5 but can't give the full 5 given the couple point reductions.
