PACIFIC SHORES @ OCEAN BEACH…read more Parking is available on the street, and it's free! We ended up coming to Pacific Shores because one of my best friend's mom was there with her girlfriends. When we arrived, there was no line at all. Security was really nice, and we got in easily. There weren't many people inside around 10 PM, and I definitely feel like this bar is more of a "grab a drink, sit with your friends, and chat" type of spot. It's not a club or a dancing bar. We ordered a round of shots and a mixed tequila drink. It wasn't strong at all, but it was really delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The server was also super nice, especially since our friend's mom kept ordering drinks and shots. He brought everything out quickly and with great service. I really loved the architecture and ambiance. It had a darker, cozy vibe, very much a small, deep-bar aesthetic. They also had some really cool paintings, and if you were wearing white or yellow, your clothes would glow in the dark, which was a fun touch. It wasn't super busy, and I appreciated how easy it was to find seating and just relax. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but it was still manageable. Overall, I'd definitely check out this spot if you're walking around Ocean Beach and want a chill place to grab a drink and hang out with friends.

They have a good selection of beers, it was hard to choose what to get. I have had their beers before and never had a bad beer from them. We started with a beer flight, mostly sours, and we added a pickle beer. The pickle beer was very clean and refreshing, I loved my sour beers, but the pickle beer was my favorite. They have slushy drinks that I missed out on, I will have to come back. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is plenty of seating indoors and outside on the patio, and they are pet friendly too.

We sat at a table and weren't approached for almost fifteen minutes. Staff just looked at us awkwardly and didn't say anything. I went over to the host stand when a girl finally showed up and asked if we had done something wrong, to which she scolded us for seating ourselves. I told her about what the waitress had said and told her that we would be happy to wait or move to which she rolled her eyes at me, and shoved menus at me before telling me "I guess since you're already sitting there, you can stay there". We should have walked out at that moment. The rest of the visit was awkward. The waitress we had initially interacted with ended up covering our table, and she made a comment about how we just sat ourselves and laughed at us. Really killed the vibe despite the view being nice and the space being chill. We ordered a Fire Dancer and a Wet Whistle, as well as pretzel bites and the guacamole. The drinks were decent, albeit the waitress spilled some of them on us as she was dropping them off. Pretzels were dried out, but the guacamole was good. Wouldn't come back for the service, but the view could be worth it if it improves.

Found out there's actually a Redskins watch party at this place called Winston in Ocean Beach really other side of America and there's a group of Redskin fans signed me up. These are my people here's what Winston's had to offer: Ambience: literally a dive bar in the middle of Ocean Beach security and everything. Guess they do a lot of events here live music parties, etc. actually quite a cool freaking place. Service: fast friendly and fun not only because I was here for the game but because they decorated up for the Redskins and literally had like 40 to 50 Redskins fans. Seems like they do a lot of live events and music which is super cool and I'm sure they do a great job as my service was fantastic. Food: I ordered a pizza. Some other guys had nachos. Everything looked good. My pizza was actually pretty good for a dive bar. Beer was cold. Tasty had some local flavor added in. It's not a Michelin restaurant but for a game night perfect. The summit all up I had a fantastic time. Parking is a nightmare down in Ocean Beach, but you know what it's a small price to pay for having a great couple hours watching a team celebrating with others that love the same team singing the same songs I eat the best fight song in NFL and doing it on the beach in California. I don't think it gets much better than that. Thanks for a great time Winston's hope to see you again. Keep munching, and HTTR!!!

I ended up parking about a five minute walk away. When you walk in you're greeted by the hostess, and you can choose to sit inside, at the bar, or outside by the pool. We ordered: * Pickle Dip: This was delicious and came with nice, crispy chips for dipping. * Animal Fries: Fresh, filling, and really tasty. Definitely easy to share. * Poolside Ceviche: The fish tasted very fresh, and it came with a bowl of tortilla chips. * Cheeseburger: A simple, classic cheeseburger with a bun, beef patty, and cheese, but still really good. During Golden Hour appetizers and favorites are 50% off, which makes the prices especially good. They also have drink specials including select wines for $10. By the pool they have a projector and host movie nights so definitely check their schedule if that sounds fun. When we visited there were quite a few customers inside. We were the only ones actually seated by the pool, and we saw a couple of hotel guests laying out, but no one was swimming. Another big perk is that they're dog friendly and will bring you a bowl of water for your pup. Overall this is such a fun, retro, and unique spot. The prices are great, especially during Golden Hour, and the portions are very shareable. The three of us easily split two favorites and an appetizer. Definitely worth checking out!

Before we arrived, I mentioned that I was taking out someone special, and the staff went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, they treated us with such genuine kindness and attention that we felt like celebrities. Every detail made us feel welcome and cared for. My date looked absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere couldn't have been more perfect. We enjoyed fresh oysters, amazing cocktails, and spent the evening watching vintage movies by the pool. It felt like stepping into another era--relaxed, romantic, and effortlessly cool. Our servers were attentive without ever being intrusive, and their warmth elevated an already incredible night. It's rare to find a place where the service, food, drinks, and atmosphere all come together so perfectly. This is a night I'll never forget, and I'm already hoping this becomes the place where we celebrate future moments together. Thank you to everyone at Ponyboy for helping create a special evening.

I was having three late night beers after a long drive in from Vegas to my favorite old home area of San Diego OCEAN BEACH!! We ordered the same thing each round "Cali creaming and bud light". Joe remembered on round 2! Awesome memory! We were paying round by round. On the third round, he can back with a tab of 3X the value of the last two tabs!!. He mentioned there was vodka shot a couple of drinks.. he knew we didn't get any of that but charged my card anyways. At some point I released he held on to my card after the second tab. I didn't think much of it but is this a SCAM they pull? No idea, but all I wanted was to get my tab fixed and go home. As I waited, the group did a last call shot with the bartender for tips! As he now wonders back a little more tipsy, he eventually starts to look up the old tabs to use as a reference to fix my tab but while working, his boyfriend was harassing me "can't pay your tab, I'll pay it". At that point, Joe screams "EVERYBODY GET THE ***** OUT!!!!" and kicks everyone out of Lucy's and on to the streets. When everyone was outside, Joe was too drunk to figure out the tab situation and asked if I could come back in the morning. What choice did I have? As they attempted to escort me out of Lucy's, i was confronted by his inebriated boyfriend who wanted to FIGHT me!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!!! What place tries to send a customer outside to someone who wants to FIGHT!! I had to call the POLICE which sent a helicopter to make sure I was safe to get out. I heard Joe outside threatening this everyone to go home or they would have to do paperwork and could lose their license. Why drunk bartender? As stated many times that I didn't want any problems and attempted to leave peacefully. Joe was cool at first but gradually became disrespectful. Instead of settling my tab I was left while he was taking last call shot with customers at the bar. As Joe grew disrespectful as did his boyfriend. I come from a service industry in a much larger market. I'm sorry I came in tonight, a relaxing evening turned into a complete fiasco.i love this bar, but sadly this is not a safe place to enjoy a drink. I used to love coming to Lucy's in the morning for one of the rare bars grandfathered in to SD that opens early in the mornings at 6am. I no longer feel safe to back to this bar. Had your bartender not been trashed my tab would've been correct, I wouldn't have been threatened in front of the local crowd and humiliated, because Joe didn't know what we ordered vs what his friends ordered. This whole scenario is an unfortunate chain of events that made everyone look foolish. All of this for $36??? Are you *****ING kidding me????!!!!! Lucy's is the type of awesome local spot and I felt everyone knew each other, security included. They did the least amount possible to contain the situation. Imagine if it were me outside causing this drama, would I have been treated this courteously? If you decide to come here, bring friends with you to deal with the locals. Lucy's was an awesome bar where everyone used to be accepted, visitors included. The camera footage at Lucy's in Ocean Beach 92017 will tell the story. Unfortunately for Joe, he was too drunk on the job to that he knowingly added fraudulent charges on to my credit card and refused to remove them when asked. I sat there for 30 minutes waiting as I watched him shoot shots at the bar instead of handling business. When i called 3 x the following day there was no answer.That's correct, this happened in front of my fave and I have a witness. I will be pressing charges for the the false charges that were knowingly added to my tab and after the bartender refused to remove them. I'm sure Joe does this to people all of the time. ( Expect a call from my bank's fraud department) Joe, you are a mess. I hope that the owner of Lucy's releases you and you get the help you need. Lucy's was the first time I've been a bar where the employees are more intoxicated than the patrons, and the patrons were pretty drunk. As a customer, I don't understand how Joe's friends drank without receiving a tab and only tipping him for their drinks. Seems a little unfair that my friends and I were be charged full price (and tipping) To the owner of Lucy's, you should watch your cameras. Your staff is robbing you and your customers blind. The cops were called on your bar last night because all of your staff was too incoherent to understand what was going on and too drunk to be able to handle their regulars.
