    Came here after the Santa run! Super busy but the server who came to our table was so friendly and made sure to check up on our table multiple times. It's located in a really nice area of PB and their holiday menu looked very enticing! They also have $6 espresso martini!

    Bar Ella in PB is a great low-key spot for brunch. I got the simple breakfast--eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast--and it totally hit the spot. I loved sitting near the open garage door and people watching along Garnet Avenue. The real MVP? Bottomless mimosas for $16!! Our server kept them coming without us even asking, which made the whole vibe super relaxed and easy. Cute place, good food, great drinks--definitely worth checking out if you're in the area for a weekend brunch.

    Bar Ella is the new old Bubs on Garnet. We stepped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon after a nice walk on the beach. The place is large, and very modern, especially compared to before. The staff was very friendly and attentive. All dishes are served on these cute antique plates. Fun to appreciate the wide variety of plates. We started off with the: Deviled eggs- with turmeric and pickled beet - delicious! Roasted carrots with whipped feta cheese- surprisingly good! Sliders with caramelized onions- so good! And, finished with the crabcakes- my least favorite but still good. Every dish was delicious and unique. We truly enjoyed eating at Bar Ella. We will come back.

    Absolutely love this place, Taylor was amazing! I've been here a few times but Taylor made my day- went for brunch, and she recommended the biscuit gravy which was awesome, and I got bottomless which is always great. Great Saturday vibe, thank you again Taylor!

    Stopped in with some girlfriends while visiting PB and I'm so glad we did! We were drawn to this place after looking at the menu and seeing they had a girl dinner consisting of a Caesar salad with fries, with an option to add on a martini. I'm more of an Aperol spritz lover so i opted for that instead. I added grilled chicken to my salad and appreciated that it was freshly grilled and not the frozen kind. Upon arriving we learned that on Thursday nights they host live comedy, so we enjoyed some stand up while we ate. Service was great and quick, even with it being a packed house. Such a cool spot!

    Think bar and restaurant type of place. We got a couple of dishes to split among us and overall everything was good. The pickled deviled eggs (3.5/5) were all right. I'm not a big fan of pickled things so considering that it was still good lol. Steak bites were good (3.5/5) too and cooked perfectly. It doesn't look like a lot but we were able to split it among 4 people. Lastly the bar Ella burger (4/5) was probably my favorite. Shoutout to the kitchen for cutting the burger in 4 for us!! I also for the fire island (3/5) but that was just all right. Not as sweet as I expected.

    Hosted birthday celebration

    Hosted my birthday celebration here this past weekend, and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the attention to detail Krista put into making the day so special. The customized menu was such a thoughtful touch, and she even helped put together my balloon decorations. We loved being able to bring in our own decor and cake to celebrate and everything went so smoothly! The food and drinks were great, and our server, Morgan, did an amazing job taking care of our large party throughout the night. She was so sweet and attentive the entire time. A huge thank you to Krista and the entire staff at Bar Ella for helping make my night so special. 10/10 would absolutely recommend hosting your celebrations here!

    Solid place for a drink! This place is cute, especially compared to the old business that used to be here. Margarita ($12) was good and service was great at the bar! Ended up coming here because the surrounding bars were packed/had lines during St. Patty's weekend. This was a lot less busy, but still had a handful of people, which we enjoyed so we can actually have a place to sit and hear each other. No complaints at Bar Ella! Will hopefully try the food here soon.

    Morgan was a great waitress- awesome service and super yummy sliders and espresso martini

    Mocktail and smokeshow
    Dung N.

    I came here for happy hour and notice how pretty the space is. Hubby got the smoke show and I opted for a mocktail. The drinks were yummy and refreshing! He ordered another one! We shared the arancini, scallops, and a hoagie. Everything was great and we also saved room for dessert. We decided on the chilled affogato, which was served with nitro coldbrew coffee. It was delicious!

    Espresso martinis

    Cozy spot in PB, especially on a week night. They have themed nights and we happened to be having dinner on a Bachelorette viewing night, so it got quite busy. Enjoyed the bar seating and overall vibe.

    Glizzy

    Came here with a friend for a late dinner. It's the girl bar of your dreams. It adds a much needed feminine touch to a very masculine Garnet Ave. The vibe screams girls & girl dinners. Austin served us & was simply the best! The sliders were so fricken yummy! The brussells, my goodness, I legit may pay them to tell me how they make those. They are SO good! Caesar salad was light & perfectly dressed. Fries were some of the best I've had in a while. As if I could've possibly had room, we did dessert. You can never go wrong with fried sugary dough. Best part is someone bought the hot dog tower & passed around glizzys to anyone who wanted one. There is always room for a glizzy. This is a great spot to bring your ladies!

    Shay!

    Writing another review because Taylor was the best bartender I've had in a while. Glad to see this place poppin'. Great tunes - the highschool throwbacks (I'm a 90s baby) had me going! Love taylor and this establishment ! Didn't get pic from tonite but shoutout T

As soon as you walk in you're greeted by the friendly bar tender, and are instructed to take a seat anywhere you'd like. The menu is available via QR code, and you order both your food and drinks at the bar. At the time we came in there weren't many people, but a crowd started gathering after about 30 minutes or so, which was nice! Our food came out - with a decent amount of wait time - and it looked great! We ordered a couple of cocktails from the menu as well, which we got right away. I had gotten something similar to an Espresso Martini, but the drink fell short in both the taste and the presentation. My beer battered fish tacos were good, but nothing extraordinary. I believed they lacked a bit of taste...perhaps seasoning? The jam burger on the other hand, extremely juicy and flavorful! The fries were nice and crispy & seasoned. Overall, the food and drink were a bit inconsistent, but it may also very well be the items I ordered. For that, I'm docking it one star, but again it may come down to my taste buds and previous items I've had from other grills. I'd definitely give it a try, again, and keep exploring their menu.

The food and cocktails are as good as the service. It's easy to chat up a new friend at the bar because their San Diego happiness is contagious. There were a number of new recipes on the cocktail menu this trip. They had me at "Party With Elvis." Although I was drawn to the fun name, the walnut-infused bourbon was too enticing to pass up, especially because they paired it with Montenegro (Amaro) and sweet vermouth. So it's a fancy Manhattan variation. It was delish!!!!!! Make sure when you go to the amazing beaches next time in SD, check out Moe's. You'll love the food and cocktails as much as the vibe.
