    Watermelon feta salad and flatbread pizza
    Nancy S.

    Don't miss this place! What a gem! Had lunch outside on patio, great music and excellent service. We split the watermelon feta salad and the Italian flatbread pizza. OMG bother were so good! We added a big wave beer on happy hour special which starts at 2 PM on Friday!

    Loved the beverages -- exceptional pricing for Chandon split on Wednesday!!!! The ranch was magical. Fried pickles yummy and sliced well. Juicy thick burger. Kevin was an amazing ambassador (as I am visiting -- but do plan to be back many times. Perfect afternoon.

    This Alehouse is right at the beach and it is a popular place to have a drink and get some great food. The bar counter has a raised door so it opens up and has an outdoor as well as an indoor bar area. The bartenders were very attentive! As soon as we sat down they were there to greet us with menus. What was nice was there were at least 3 bartenders and they all helped us, ensuring we didn't need anything. We started with the Italian Flatbread. I was shocked! The flatbread was SO GOOD! I especially liked the flatbread part, it was stiff and sturdy and had crunch. It solidly held the ingredients on top - also delicious. I would definitely get this again. Next, we got the Beer Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The burger is big and we shared it as well. The patty is juicy and cooked to our liking at medium temp. The sweet potato fries also came out crisp and hot. Overall - a great experience from start to finish.

    Went here tonight with a couple friends! I was pleasantly surprised we got sat right away outside during sunset. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Mac & cheese which was seasoned well and I liked the breadcrumb topping. I'd get this again! My friend liked her burger and fries. It's a nice spot for drinks, food (meals and apps). Great spot by the beach and they have an upstairs also. We would have liked our server to check in with us once after we got the food.

    The soft shelled crab burger was to die for. I would choose the crispy fried soft shelled crab over a beef patty any day. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth from the crisp red onions to the creamy tartar sauce. I craved this burger immediately after just finishing it. I had to resist the urge to order another one.

    Classic beachside restaurant with good bar food and vibes. Great for groups as well! They are opened late which was good for my group of friends that were traveling into town. They also have a second level deck which gives some nice views and they have a fire when it's colder. I ended up getting some truffle fries and a burger and both hit the spot. Simple and cooked well. The service was friendly and also gave us some good recommendations in the area.

    We enjoyed the food at Pacific Ale House restaurant in Pacific Beach , CA. We sat in the outdoor patio area on a beautiful sunny day in San Diego. The restaurant is dog friendly. I definitely recommend trying the TURKEY MELT SANDWICH on sourdough bread with sundried tomato aioli, white cheddar, avocado, bacon, red wine and caramelized onions. This sandwich was not only delicious but it was a great presentation 5/5. We also had the Classic cheeseburger. I didn't care for the presentation too much lettuce. The burger didn't come with mayonnaise but after I ordered a side of sundried aioli sauce it tasted way better. I give this burger a 4/5. The service was great with nice ambiance. The restaurant is close to the Pacific Beach Boardwalk. Give this restaurant a try! Happy Yelping :)

    Right by the beach!!!

    We came by after brunch around 3pm and this spot was perfect for some day drinking! The vibe was super lively but not overwhelming--busy, yet the wait wasn't long at all. Chasity at the front desk was super sweet and got us in quickly. Rob and Ryan (I might be off on the names!) were either servers or security--but either way, both the service and security teams were on point. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and really kept the good energy going. Bonus points for the free birthday shot--such a fun little extra! Gorgeous location with a great view and fast, attentive service. Definitely coming back.

    Came here for brunch during the St Patty's Bar Crawl and the view was fantastic. The vibes are great and it overlooks the pier, making it a great place for a girls brunch & drink on a warm sunny day! The service was great and they came to take our order pretty quickly. Food was very tasty and drinks were strong - which in my opinion is better! Parking is a little difficult as most parking is on the street and pretty full when the weathers nice at the beach. Overall, great location, food, and service!

    The PB Alehouse is the best! I stumbled upon is walking in the area and it did not disappoint. They have a large indoor space with a rooftop that overlooks the beach. Everyone was so nice and helpful! Great pub style food with plenty of options.

    We had friends visiting from out of town recently, so, of course we spent a lot of time near the beach. With a group of 6, after a long day outdoors, we were looking for a place near the beach to get some food and drinks. Our friends chose Pacific Beach AleHouse because the menu was relatively large, and one of our friends had found some beer on the menu that he wanted to try. I liked the setting, as you could sit outdoors and see the beach, though it is not really a "beach view" restaurant. It was a Easter Sunday, so it wasn't crowded, but still somewhat busy when we arrived around 7:30. We did not need a reservation. It had gotten kind of chilly, but the heat lamps kept it comfortable. I ordered the ahi nachos. The order was huge. However, it was mainly the nachos themselves that made up the majority of the dish. I ended up eating most of the tuna and toppings off of them with a fork as the amount of nachos was a bit much. I didn't feel like drinking anything sweet, so I ordered a glass of wine. The wine list was basic, but they did have a few options that I knew I would like. Our friends had the BBQ chicken flatbread and a couple other items. My husband had the fish tacos. I think everyone felt that the food was good, but not memorable. It is a very typical general American style restaurant with decent service. I don't think you can go wrong here, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Birria Tacos. Tasty!

    No photos taken but there are plenty already posted that are representative of the Cobb salads & chicken peso flatbread we ordered. Both exceeded expectations & were excellent. Service was topnotch. Thought we'd catch the sunset from top floor deck but there is a building behind that blocks most of it. I'd sit around one of the fire pits next time. And there will be a next time. '.

    Softshell crab sandwich was AMAZING
    Eric A.

    Came here on Sunday 10/5/2025. Aside from the amazing food, service was FLAWLESS. We sat outside where the high chairs were but it got really loud and my son started covering his ears. My son is autistic and sensitive to loud sounds. We asked to move to the other patio area and staff had no problem with it. They did something amazing and offered to turn down the music if needed. We didn't need to music turned down but the fact that these two women offered that option meant so much to us. I dont know their names but these two women were in the front around 5:30pm next to security. So management please give them recognition. Our server was Meghan and she made sure we were well taken care of. We were visiting from San Jose. We'll definitely recommend this place if our friends/family head to San Diego

    I had to leave a review right away bc I was so impressed by this place. First of all, they are…read moreextremely dog friendly. The inside is gorgeous and there's a spot especially for dogs outside. Their outdoor seating with patio is beautiful! This place is absolutely divine! At this point, I dont really care about how the food tastes. Lol! Let's start off with the one problem i had with this place. The parking!!! It took me 20m to find parking and im not about to park my car on the street. I have precious dogs! Lol kidding. I just couldn't find any parking on the street or in the block! I suppose i came during lunch which is probably really busy. When I left, there were quite a few opened parking spots. This place is connected to an apartment complex surrounding retail stores. The leasing building is right next to Gravity Heights. I used to rent a 4k+ a month apartment in a retail area and let me tell you, its a hassle to find parking and not take a retail parking spot without having your complex email you everyday about your car potentially being towed lol! I understand this pain. Now that we are past that, let's get to why this place deserves 5 stars. The service is excellent! My server came around at the perfect times and they seem to really care if I enjoyed my meal! The stellar atmosphere with attentive service is enough for me! I got a gravity burger protein style which I dont think did the burger justice. I was going to eat with my husband later at a Vietnamese restaurant and I can only choose one carb for the day. My diabetic life is tough! Lol. I chose the Cesar salad to go with my burger. My burger was delicious bc of the caramelized onions. I didn't really taste a sauce in the burger but the excellent bacon with the much needed caramelized onions made the burger fantastic! The IPA hazy beer i had with my meal was also light and mellow. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and meal. My babies also enjoyed their burger! The weather was perfect today and it was a nice time and to think I was not going to eat here bc the parking definitely was a huge deterrent. Next time ill bring human company!

    Air-headed and possibly racist hostess. We arrived at 4:45 today, and on our way to the bar, we…read morewere abruptly stopped by a rude blonde girl that looked like she was 13. She told us we could not walk into the bar while we counted 14 people walking past us. Apparently the entire place was reserved for the night, but it never got more than 2/3 full. Literally dozens of open tables the entire time, and we were there for 3 hours. Why? Why power trip when your restaurant has plenty of space to seat us? You let a group of 12 walk in front of us and they crowded the bar in right front of us, but you didn't say a word. 5 minutes before this, you told us that corporate didn't allow people to drink at the bar without a seat, but you allowed them to do as they pleased and you stopped our group? Was it because my friends were Asian? Or was it because we said we had children coming to join us? Even the bartender realized you were crazy and sat our group of 11. We spent over $1000, but apparently we weren't good enough for the hostess. I hope the owner reads this and fires that bimbo. I'm sure you have plenty of cameras and can talk to the rest of the employees to hear what happened. She was the only rude person we encountered. Food was amazing. The shrimp ceviche had a lot of flavor, a generous amount of shrimp, and the perfect amount of kick. The pepperoni pizza was epic and from the way the pepperonis were cupped, you could tell it was a really hot oven which is ideal. My kids loved the cheeseburgers, and I really enjoyed the chicken tacos. Every drink looks to be handcrafted, and I thought the margaritas were delicious. 5 stars if it wasn't for the hostess.
