Overall, my group enjoyed our time at the Flamingo Deck! Expect loud music, dim lighting, and great vibes! We came early in the evening (~7 PM) to be able to eat dinner. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes! It being a bar, we weren't expecting much, but everything we tried on the menu was delicious-- especially the braised short rib, truffle fries, and the variety of pasta dishes they offer. Some pasta dishes came with bread, some did not, so some had to share their breads since it is not clarified which pasta dishes offered bread or did not. Drinks were honestly a hit or miss. We absolutely loved some drinks while others were watered down or just not great. We really enjoyed the Paloma, Coconut Mojito, and even the lychee mocktail was a hit. As the night went on, the bar got really full to where we were sitting with groups of people with their backs to the back of our chairs. It got very busy, we had to physically go find our waitress to get our credit card back as it had been 15 minutes since she had taken it. The wait staff though was so friendly and attentive before the bar got completely packed. We would come back here for the next Bachelorette trip as it was a young crowd, other bach parties were there, and overall a fun atmosphere for a night out! read more

I enjoyed the Flamingo Deck much more than I was expecting to! The reason I said that is because unusually shy away from the bars right in the thick of Pacific Beach, they tend to be crowded and full of an exuberant partying young crowd that I just tend to not gravitate towards anymore. We went right after they opened on a Friday at noon. At first, we were the only people there, by the end of the time there were a few other tables, but I was surprised that it was a mixed age crowd. We ordered a mix of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks for the table and everybody enjoyed them. The place is beautiful, the decor is a lot of fun. We had Bree as our server and she was great. It was a group of my girlfriends from work for a little Galentine's celebration and we decided to go for a bunch of appetizers to share. The mushroom pizza is fabulous!!! Best pizza I have had in a long time. The crust is sourdough and they used Taleggio cheese and top it with some truffle oil. They got the crust just right, it was so crispy and delicious and it came out piping hot. The papas bravado were my second favorite thing on the table. They did a great job with those tasty little potatoes and that savory aïoli. The tuna stack was another stand out. It kind of was basic until I tried the little citrus oil that it came with, and that really made it pop. I really enjoyed the pear and burrata salad. The pears were grilled just right and it came with a delicious crispy bread and was piled high with arugula and prosciutto. Great job on that dish! We got a charcuterie board that was loaded with goodies, including one of my favorite cheese is the Humboldt Fog. It was not very well balanced though. It really needed something sweet in addition to the mustard to balance the flavors. Maybe like a fig jam or some honey. A couple of grapes or some dried fruit would've been good too. The calamari was the only thing that was not good. It was horrible. It was basically regretting with a tiny little bit of they squid in it. We are savages and we did not finish that dish or take it home. I would return to this establishment and I'm curious about the brunch. I would not be visiting at night because I'm sure that it's more crowded than I am interested in. Thanks for surprising me Flamingo Deck! read more

I had a very upsetting experience at Flamingo in Pacific Beach. I arrived with friends who were allowed to enter without issue. When it was my turn, security stopped me and claimed they weren't sure my valid ID was mine. I removed my glasses and also offered my debit and credit cards to confirm my identity. Despite this, the guard refused to let me in and then demanded to see my phone -- something I have never been asked for at any club. I explained that I did not have my phone with me and asked for my ID back so I could leave. The situation felt unnecessarily escalated and inconsistent, especially since my friends were admitted while I was singled out without a clear or reasonable explanation. The interaction left me feeling humiliated and discriminated against. Door policies should be applied consistently and respectfully. This experience was neither. I will not be returning and hope management seriously reviews how guests are treated at the door. This occurred January 17 1:00am I'm writing this review right after leaving because it was so incredibly upsetting to be discriminated. If I could put zero stars I would read more

Service, The service was horrible, the waitress was very rude and did not come to check on my family, even though the restaurant was empty. Food, The food was also very disappointing. I got the one thing our waitress suggested, the crem brûlée French toast, and it did not live up to it's expectations. It was soggy and not cooked fully. Ambiance, It was a very pretty place with a good view, although the service and food ruined it. read more

Flamingo Deck - Example of how we were treated. - New American Near Me - San Diego, California

My family and I walked in and asked an employee if we needed to wait to be seated, and his response was, "I'm not on the clock right now." That was incredibly rude and unprofessional. He could've at least gotten someone else to help instead of acting like we were a problem. The restaurant wasn't even busy, yet we still waited almost 40 minutes for our food just for everything to come out one plate at a time, spaced out by like 10 minutes. Then the French toast came out raw in the middle, which was disgusting. This was my first time here and honestly it'll probably be my last. We came here on vacation expecting good food and service, but instead got terrible customer service, awful food, and a horrible experience. read more

What a great themed restaurant. You will bathe in a pink glow the whole night as you dine but that's fine considering all the perks. Many seating options...highly tops on the patio, loungers inside, bench tables for groups and of course bar stools. The decor is so fun to peruse as you wait for your food. Grand chandeliers, pink light up bar top and greenery. Great music playing. TVs near the bar to watch your favorite sports team . Recommend the Sirloin with marscapone mashed and carrots. Yum ! My Cosmo cocktail was so nice and icy sweet! Pretty too Great experience. Great choice read more

I was skeptical to try this place since it didn't have great reviews but I absolutely love it! The atmosphere and decor was lovely. The staff was super friendly and the food was great! I dined here with 9 other people during a Bachelorette party. We were required spend $400 as a whole party to make a reservation which is probably the only thing I didn't like about this place. I understand they want to make sure we spend money as a group but that was a turn off and we almost chose to go else where because of this. Despite that little limitation, I really enjoyed my experience. I ordered the French toast and it was so yummy! It was decadent in all the right ways while not being overly sweet. I also had a few cocktails which were also very smooth and refreshing. I will definitely be back if I'm in San Diego for a few days again! read more

Had a bizarre and really unacceptable experience here. I walked up with two of my friends and the security guy at the front checked our IDs and immediately said that my friend's completely valid ID was fake and wouldn't let her in. We are all 29 and 30 years old, pretty clearly not under 21. He didn't ask any standard follow up questions, said they had a scanner but wouldn't scan it, and when we asked why he thought it was fake he said "just a feeling". He immediately raised his voice at us repeating over and over "I'm not going to argue with you, step outside" when we were just trying to understand his reasoning. It genuinely seemed like he just randomly chose someone to assert his small amount of power on and my friend happened to be the unlucky pick. We spoke to the manager who just backed up the security guy and was really no help. The fact is that the ID was real, this guy has literally one job, to decider real from fake, and he failed. I checked their reviews out of curiosity and was not surprised to find that we are not the first ones to experience this! Super weird to say the least. read more

The bbq chicken pizza is a must! It's good food with a vibe, except they never came to check on us and had to walk toward the front to ask for the check. Hopefully it was just a one time thing. read more

Oh such a cute place especially for bachelorette weekend! Plenty of photo spots for your Instagram feed. We made reservations (just in case) for a Saturday 11:30a brunch. It was not crowded when we arrived and were seated promptly. Keep in mind, there's also a lunch menu section but they cannot serve that until 12 noon. There's an underground parking garage close by and thank goodness Flamingo Deck will validate your parking up to two hours, I think. Our party of 5 enjoyed our entrees. We ordered the following: -Crème Brûlée French Toast -Prosciutto Avocado Toast x2 -Caprese Benedict -Chicken Pesto Sandwich I love how they have some mocktail options so we got a few Lychee Spritz. Delicious, not too sweet and very refreshing. Out of everything we ordered, the proscuitto avocado toast was the favorite. It was freaking delicious! Portions were bigggggg....big enough for females to share so FYI. Our waitress provided great customer service. She was patient with us when we took forever to decide what we want to order since we kept chatting and taking photos/videos (lol yeah typical bachelorette behaviors) and she checked on us periodically to make sure everything was to our liking. Food was delivered promptly....food was fresh and pippin hot. There is a security guard by the door that checks for I.D. Thought that was random since it's daytime and we were here for just brunch. But I guess since this is a bar establishment, it's a requirement. Overall, really enjoyed my brunch here and it help set the mood for the rest of my Saturday bachelorette activities. A few of my girls and I were saying if we didn't have a flight to catch Sunday, we would've came back here and ordered the prosciutto avocado toast and the creme Brulé french toast again. read more

Our first stop in San Diego, this was a great way to kick off the week! Flamingo Deck was right down the road from the hotel we stayed at upon arrival and we came hangry and ready to get the party started. The space overall was super cute, very fun decor and very open to enjoy the beautiful weather. I loved my espresso martini which was not only picture perfect but very tasty. I also enjoyed my second drink which I believe was the Paloma. I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was huge, overall very good. read more

Great vibe--perfect for a date night or a girls' day out. Drinks are amazing, and the large sharing cocktails are great for groups of 3-4. Plenty of delicious food options to choose from. They close the dining area later in the evening and transition into a music bar read more

This experience was average for PB. We got sat right away on a Sunday. It was not crowded despite this being a holiday weekend. We sat inside in the shade which was good. We ordered bottomless mimosas which online stated $15. They were actually $21...Our server Haley told us the website was incorrect but still honored the $15 which was super nice! Thank you! We all ordered entrees. Mine came out incorrect but the kitchen corrected it in about 15 minutes. But unfortunately this contributes to my rating. Our server said they made my meal right the first time but ended up giving it to someone else...when we saw the food runner come out eventually with my second order, they went to another table to offer this meal. It seemed super disorganized especially since there were 10 tables sat total. I ended up getting that exact plate eventually though. Quality of food- was decent but my friends waited for my correct meal to come out so theirs was cold but the time we ate. My friends were being polite which I appreciated. And this diminished the quality of their meals. My breakfast sandwich was good- but a little too buttery. The potatoes were nicely crispy. I wish the sandwich had some veggie like tomatoes. For the mimosas- our server was attentive to refill our carafe when needed. It will come premixed unlike most places that'll give juice and the prosecco bottle. It would be a cute plate for a bachelorette, girls outing, etc. It's a spacious venue with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Came here for the views at their upstairs deck and bar, where we had a few drinks. If you want food, you'll have to order it downstairs, which is a vibe of its own. It's giving Miami Vice with its Flamingos, plants, and neon lights throughout. There's several cute lounge areas surrounding the big bar in the middle. it's definitely a fun place that's perfect for groups. Best part is it's only a few steps to the beach. read more

We came here first thing in the morning so it was pretty empty, but the decor of this place is fabulous. These drinks helped cure our residual hangovers from the night before.

What a gorgeous place to drink cocktails just right off the beach! Decor was colorful, glamorous and tropical. Lush plants, twinkly chandeliers, upbeat music, with a variety of comfortable seating options. Hannah provided great service and made wonderful cocktails. The Paloma had floral notes of hibiscus and lychee, I loved the fresh citrus in the Naked & Famous, and the Tiramisu Espresso Martini was to die for. Thank you for your warm hospitality, beach volleyball star! We enjoyed every sip. read more

Me and my adopted son are there and he waited for his food for an hour. If it was such a problem you should have said no kids were allowed. But instead you let the adults get food first.

I had such a great experience here last Thursday for happy hour. Usually, I come after hours for the bar scene, but this time I came for drinks and food with my roommate. The Caesar salad was one of the best I have ever had in my life and they let you add a really hefty portion of steak for only $10. Our waitress was really pretty with red hair, I didn't catch her name, but she was incredibly sweet and attentive, even double checking menu items when I told her I was gluten free. I would recommend the tiramisu martini and pink flamingo for drinks. Also the view from the upstairs balcony is stunning. Such a fun experience will definitely come again. read more

Went here after a friend recommended trying this place because she said they have tiramisu espresso martinis. Upon arrival, the restaurant is very beautiful and is located right by the beach and so I like the fact that I can eat and drink, and then just head right to the beach,. The tiramisu espresso martini could've been a little bit sweeter to me as I tasted a lot of vodka, but otherwise still good. The calamari tasted more so like a chicharron the way it was fried which was different but also still good. The grilled cheese was perfect, though! It paired very well with the tomato bisque and I would definitely come back just for that. Service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and was accommodating throughout our whole time there. read more

It's been extremely difficult to get in contact with them. I've called multiple times a day for over a week, and either no one answers or the call gets dropped with a "user busy" message. I also sent emails and never received a response. The one time I did get through, I was told someone would call me back, but no one ever did. I've been trying to adjust my reservation for over a week and a half with no success. Overall, the lack of communication is really frustrating and feels unprofessional. read more

Probably the worst drink I've ever ordered at a bar, flushed $20 down the drain. If you feel like deleting money go here

Flamingo Deck is a *straight-up vibe* from the moment you walk in. The music hits, the brass flamingos are doing their thing, and the staff is so friendly, you'll feel like you've just walked into your weekend home. And the food? Dear lord, the food. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to thank the kitchen personally. This is the spot to hit up on a weekend if you're looking to drink, eat, or maybe meet your next fling in PB--or if you're lucky, even your future wife (speaking from experience here). Whether you're out for a good time or to mingle, Flamingo Deck is the go-to spot that delivers every time! Highly recommend! read more

Went here for Brunch/Lunch on Sat. The decor is awesome and our server was awesome. However, the food was mediocre. My burger was actually good, but the fries were cold. My friend had the steak frites. It was cooked perfectly, but lacked flavor. My other friend got the pesto chicken sandwich. She ate one bite. It looked good, but also lacked flavor. I would come here again for drinks and the atmosphere, but would probably only order the truffle fries(they were good) read more

For bottomless mimosas the price is great, 15$. You just have to purchase an entree which is fair. And it's 90mins from when you order it. The food was okay. Nice for brunch, nothing crazy.

Wasn't too crowded which was nice. read more

Loved our server today. The place is super and open. The food is okay but I think this place is better for those who drink. They don't serve much "breakfast" drinks like tea or types of coffee. They have black coffee and more brunch and alcoholic drinks. Probably catering to a more younger crowd. Probably won't go back with my parents and grandma but overall a good experience! read more

I made reservations for three on Friday afternoon and it was the perfect location in PB. They have a great happy hour menu with a variety of cocktails and some pizzas. I love a good espresso martini and Flamingo Deck has a nice twist - tiramisu espresso martini. I had 3 it was so good! Hahahaha it was sweet like dessert but had me buzzin' within an hour. Even better, it was $8 for happy hour! My husband and bestie both ordered margaritas and they said it was refreshing and heavy on the tequila, which we love to hear! We started with their pesto burrata and loved it. It was perfect for our warm summer evening. The bread served was nicely toasted, we just wish we had more. We also had the spicy sausage pizza and it was packed with toppings. The pizza is also a great size for sharing! You could probably get away with sharing it between 3-5 people. We really enjoyed the food and drinks. We just wish they had music on the deck. They had music inside the restaurant but it wasn't loud enough to hear much of it on the deck. The aesthetic is also really cute inside. I can imagine it being a great place for a girls night or a bachelorette lunch/dinner. I would suggest getting a table inside rather than the deck. read more

Flamingo Deck has a nice rooftop vibe, but definitely eat before you come here. I ordered the fries and spicy sausage pizza.... both were overpriced and ended up giving me food poisoning.
