Ate at the bar tops and the bartenders were very helpful and they went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergies. The vibe was chill and the drinks and service were great. PRO TIP: Just be aware that there are no servers at the bar tops, and you have to go over to the bar to order. It wasn't obvious so we waited a bit before we figured that out and others around us also seemed confused by that too. I recommend that the host tells people as they go to the bar. Might help with the negative reviews here. read more

We got an amazing table at the front of the bar, facing the sea. We were just here for a couple of drinks, and so the lack of vegan options didn't frustrate us. I was happy to find that they had 3 sours on rotation and the sour the server recommended was great. My husband got a orange flavored Hefeweizen and that was pretty good too! We also got a side of fries which were OK. I hope to see more vegan items here someday. read more

I recently visited Draft House for Taylor Swift trivia. We had such a good time! First of all, the views are fantastic! We were able to see the beautiful sunset and obviously the beach/ocean. 10/10! The food was pretty decent, just a tad pricey, but they were having a special .50¢ wings and it was delicious! Also, was so crazy to see that they have a 1lb mozzarella stick lol! My friend got to try it and he said it was good! They have a large selection of drinks, they carry one of my favs which is the Mother Earth so, it was great! The place is HUGE! They have so many tables and sitting areas, we were on a booth and I have to say, it's pretty comfortable. Our service was attentive and fast too. Parking is challenging since it's right on Belmont park. read more

Came to Draft South Mission for the oceanfront vibe, and honestly, that part delivered. Seated quickly, great table, amazing view of Mission Bay, and the Mai Tai was actually pretty solid. Then the fish and chips arrived. I'm still trying to process what happened in that kitchen. Imagine taking a small piece of fish, wrapping it lovingly in toast, then introducing it briefly to heat and calling it "fish and chips." It was less "crispy beer-battered seafood masterpiece" and more "sad cafeteria experiment during budget cuts." For a place sitting on the water, serving fish this tragic feels almost rebellious. Overall, for only about $50 for fish and chips and a Mai Tai, what was I expecting? Flavor? Texture? A fish that remembered the ocean? Beautiful location. Great drink. But the fish and chips easily earned a spot on my personal Top 10 Worst Seafood Decisions list. read more

We wandered in on Saturday early afternoon following a nice long walk on the beach after brunch. We were thirsty and found a couple of stools at the bar. College football was playing on all the many TVs. There are an amazing number of beer choices but We felt like Negronis would hit the spot! The bartender said he would check on the supply of Campari. When he came back he was holding 2 perfect Negronis. I tipped him $8! The view is wonderful and the place is very large with no bad seats! I would love to come back here anytime! Have the Negroni! read more

Stopped by for lunch with coworkers and waited about 18 minutes because they opened at noon. We were greeted and seated right away and ordered drinks too.

Service was fine everyone enjoyed their meal. read more

Draft gives casual, beach vibes literally steps from the sand. They have a large bar and indoor / outdoor seating with open garage door type windows looking out to the beach. It's a feel the sand on the floor beach bar. They don't have too many outdoor tables, but the open air feel was fine when sitting inside. We still had great ocean views. They have huge TVs and screens, perfect for sporting events. First impressions were great, as there was a considerable wait just to speak to a hostess and get our name on the list. They had two hostesses, but only one iPad...so only one was useful. It was a longer wait in line to speak to hostess than the actual wait for a table. They said 15 mins and it was ready in 5. Our actual server was good though. Food: The brunch burrito is huge! My husband said it was good, however, the ingredients weren't mixed well so all the egg was on one side. The Chicken club was great and the fries were crispy and seasoned. Kids grilled cheese, french toast, and chicken tenders were all well liked. Drinks: all you can drink mimosas on Saturday for $20 for brunch. Not a bad spot if you're looking for a sit down restaurant on the beach. read more

My wife organized an event at Draft and they reserved some tables for her at the patio. It was an awesome event and people loved being next to the beach! They also loved the food and service as well. Even though it was super busy because of trivia and wing night, our server Lexi was awesome! She had a great attitude, very friendly and helpful. Everytime a new guest showed up, she was ready to help them in any way. My wife was so happy how the night went. We've eaten here before and always liked the food. We are glad our guest loved it as well. We hope to plan more events here because it was an awesome time. And again, Lexi and the staff helping her were awesome! read more

This is the first restaurant right on the corner when you're walking to the beach and ocean. They have sandwiches, salads, shareables and lots of beer choices. We ordered a chicken club sandwich and a Cobb salad, and it was enough for 3 of us to share -- and we even had a bit left over. All of it was really good, although the sandwich was a little spicy. The staff lets you sit as long as you like, which was really nice. And, the staff was very friendly as well. read more

So "Draft"; we went for the big DRAFT beer selection, over 50 beers "On Draft". Good things to say about Draft, but first a very funny but very annoying thing. There was a Surcharge for "DRAFT Beer" ! So the possible fine print disclosure aside, am I the only one to find it so ultimately ironic that they have a surcharge for ordering the very thing the bar is named for? Just as funny, it costs the bar less per serving for draft beer than bottles. Imagine a Taco shop that sells you a burrito but has a "Taco Surcharge"! Don't you hate hidden charges when you think you were given the price? See https://oag.ca.gov/hiddenfees for example. Otherwise; a good time was had, made great new friend (Hi Bear the Rottie), service at the bar was great, it is clean, well decorated, and of course has great views of the beautiful Pacific. NFL special for the apps was a good price. Finally Another disappointment for me, with over 50 draft beers only 2-3 imports (counting Stella). Some lovely local small brews, but I was really hoping for a couple of great English or German beers at least. read more

Draft - Surprise surcharge for Draft beer at "Draft" - American Near Me - San Diego, California

We've visited this area several times over the years while on vacation and Draft has been a great go to spot. If you're hanging out on the beach and want a good selection of local beers and a nice mix of dishes this is it. I love their truffel fries and dry rub wings. Someone always picks the steak frites and the chimichuri sauce it comes with is spot on. The staff is quick and friendly and even when there's a wait the crowd seems to flow smoothly. Great location on the beach whether its the afternoon and the sun is blazing or towards the evening when the sun is setting on the horizon. read more

Decorated so well for the holidays and the drinks come out so festive and cute. Everything was great, only thing is they were obviously very busy. We def would have ordered a second round of drinks - including water, but our server didn't come back until the end of the meal. So glad we had reservations, not sure we would have been able to get in otherwise. Great stop always but especially fun for the Christmas decor read more

Great location on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach! Solid food, wide drink selection, and perfect outdoor seating to end your beach day. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically but it's a great option if you're in the area and looking for a casual beachfront spot. Really enjoyed their fries and Caesar salad. I've been here twice and I will say that service was pretty slow, but server was still super friendly. read more

As it was a busy Friday night after sunset, my friend and I opted to sit at the bar. Rachael and several other bartenders were very attentive to our needs. We were excited to see four different ciders on tap, including one of my favorites, Golden State Jamaica! We both ordered the West Coast burger, and much to my surprise and delight, it was delicious. Rachael, thank you for the fantastic service and good conversation. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Sunday around 5pm for some food. The restaurant has a lovely view of the beach and even though we sat inside, we had a great view from our table as the sun was setting. It was a game day, so we got their game day special: $10 carnitas nachos and shrimp ceviche. The nachos were awesome, but the ceviche was just okay. We also each got a pickle beer and made it into a michelada for $3 more dollars and it was really great. The service was fast even though the place was crowded. It was a great place to spend an early evening in San Diego! read more

Michael was our server at the bar. We came to watch the Padres game and it was 40 minutes before close. We got our food and drinks in very quick. He was very short with us and very rude. Slamming the glasses down in front of us and never checked in on how we were doing. Coming from someone in food and beverage industry, service should stay the same regardless of what time it is. When we asked for a refill of water he seemed like it was an inconvenience. read more

We came here a few days ago during lunch time. It was pretty busy like about 2/3 of the restaurant filled. When we arrived, we saw a table by the patio open, thought it would be great for the 3 of us. We asked the hostess if that's available to us. She said yes but we needed to wait 15min. We found this odd because the table was clean, set, and ready. So, why had us stood there to wait 15min? A star off here because my daughter was getting hungry and didn't know why we weren't able to be seated at the open/ready table. After we sat down though, everything went smoothly. Our server was very attentive, patient and friendly. Too bad I didn't get her name, she was wearing a cap that day. We ordered their rose sparkling champagne; it was reasonably priced and tasty. We ordered their burger in lettuce wraps instead of buns. It took a long time for them to bring it to us; however, everything was fresh and cooked nicely. We also ordered their ice cream, that came out fast and my husband and daughter finished in seconds. It would have been a perfect experience if we didn't need to wait for 15min unreasonably. Would definitely come back if we're visiting the area again. read more

Draft was so fun! A wide variety in local beers. Ellie was our server. She was great and gave good service. Food came out fast!

First time here for the Miracle Pop Up Bar! I love Christmas and this was my first ever Christmas themed bar~ it was a great experience. Went here on a Friday night and I was surprised it wasn't packed, but we were seated immediately. There's plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, and we were impressed with how well-decorated it was for the holidays! Food was standard, I will say the Parmesan truffle fries are definitely worth getting. We went for the holiday drinks which were yummy and unique but for the price of $17-18, I thought the serving would be much larger at least. There's also a $5 hidden surcharge that we didn't know about. Because we came here at night, parking was not an issue at all. It's right by the beach/belmont park so it is in between 2 parking lots. We were worried about sitting outside but luckily it was lined with heaters so that was nice. Our server, Shay(?) was super friendly and attentive and she was nice enough to take our group picture in passing. Overall a cute experience for the Christmas season! read more

Oh wow what a great spot! Right on the beach the view is stunning and there is plenty of seats inside, outside and at the bar with TVs! Came from breakfast and although the menu is limited what we ordered turned out to be incredible! My egg white scramble was delicious and the Bloody Mary had excellent flavor with the perfect amount of spice. What really stood out to us was the breakfast potatoes! They are delicious and loaded with flavor. Definitely the highlight of the breakfast. Service was great and the view was great, definitely a great spot to check out. read more

The restaurant is larger than I expected, with an outdoor patio area that was closed the day my friend and I met there for lunch, because it was one of the few days where we experienced "weather" in San Diego: strong, gusty, cold winds and a tiny bit overcast. The food was decent, nothing that really wowed us, with the exception of the 1 lb. cheese stick (me: that has to be a typo, right? As in, they serve one pound of mozzarella sticks? my friend: no, I think it's really one long cheese stick, weighing in at a pound...? Turns out he was right, it's legit one giant log of breaded and fried cheese served with marinara sauce.) I went with the Bacon & Blue burger ($16), my friend got the West Coast burger ($18), and - at his insistence - we got the 1 lb. cheese stick ($16). And I just have to pause for an aside: the cheese stick cost just as much as my burger, y'all! What can I say about that stick of cheese? It wasn't as big as we thought it'd be (insert lewd sophomoric joke here), and it tasted...normal? I point that out because the waitress talked it up, told us it's made from an artisanal cheese, crafted to perfection and served with exceptional sauces. She assured us it was worth it, and delightful. What we got? Very much not that. I took a couple of bites but was pretty underwhelmed by it. My friend liked it more and ended up taking what was left home with him. The burger was also quite normal, the standout there was the bacon, which was of a thicker cut and cooked to a good crisp. But the best thing about the plate were the fries, for sure. The bacon was crispy, sure. But the fries? The fries were golden, salty perfection. I think I spent more time crunching on the pommes than I did noshing on the burger. Our waitress was friendly enough but was clearly in need of help, because she was the only one working the floor that day and the floor was busy with lots of big groups. We had to flag her down a couple of times to request our check, which took a long time getting to us. Normally it would have been fine - we were still chatting and hanging out - but we also both had to get back to work that afternoon and were on a bit of a timeline. Last thing I'll mention: Google maps had them opening at noon, but they'd clearly been open for at least an hour by the time I walked in, so maybe don't put a whole lot of stock into what Google has for their operating hours. read more

Horrible experience. We went to the bar and waited 20 minutes for someone to even notice us and take our order. The bar smells like someone poured 10 different types of beer on the table, wiped it up with a dry paper towel and left it at that. Took an extra 20 minutes to get the salmon. All we got was a tiny sliver of salmon. Presentation needs work. Will probably never come back here. read more

It's nice that they had several activities and events going on at that time and that they are located right in front of the beach.

NO SERVICE here. AVOID. No one here wants to do their assigned job. NONE of them. I tried to do a pick up order for lunch. The bar guy with a hair bun was the only one who could place an order. There were 3 females standing around as hosts who I asked for help and another folding napkins who could NOT help. Meanwhile, this bar guy was chatting with the baristas. I left after waiting for 10 minutes. I later discovered that this one guy with the high hair bun was the only one who could place orders and was the one who directed me to the host stand when I clearly asked on entering "where do I order pick-up?" Come here if you want to deal with hostesses, the bar keeper, and everyone else who avoids providing service to you like the plague. read more

NO JOKE! The wings were alright. The rest is very DISGUSTING. The beers were alright - probably because they didn't make them! I would not consume anything they make! The only thing this place has going for it is the location. The food should be retired or outsourced to better cooks. I am still nauseous. read more
