If you happen to be in Pacific Beach and an Eagles are playing - stop on in for a taste of South Philly love! We had a fantastic time watching Monday night game while visiting the area. The owner is a south Philly native. Even though it got pretty busy he was fantastic serving up our drinks of pitchers of beer. The bar itself doesn't serve food but they did have someone selling some tacos (that were really good) in the same space. Stop on in and show some love for this locally owned bar even if you are not a Philly fan. Have a great time. read more

Pretty small bar/club but it can get fun on a weekend night. Some of my friends DJ here so they're really generous about having local DJs who are starting out and giving them a chance to play. The cover charge is usually cheaper compared to other bars and clubs in the area. Some nights when it's still early in the night (before 10pm) I haven't had to pay anything, and the most I've had to pay was $10 on a super packed weekend night. You definitely have to be into house music though to enjoy it here, they only play strictly house. It's pretty dark inside and gets a little foggy sometimes because of all the effects so it's a fun atmosphere. read more

Extremely poor experience. This place should not exist. They take advantage of their patrons. Bartender is miserable and so unhappy. Avoid at all cost! This bar won't last long and the employees will soon be out of a job with their terrible attitudes. They have a big superiority complex and are big bullies to their patrons. read more

Waitress was taking shots all night and being rude to us!! She told us, "Don't tip. We needed more than her do!" read more

Went to avenue last night (Friday) with friends for the first time. The venue was dope and the music was lit all night. But the one tattooed girl bartender working was so incredibly rude. Not just to me but after waiting for a minute and observing her serve everyone at the bar. She looked miserable and was blatantly mean. Not just once or twice but it seemed like every interaction with my friends and everyone around us. Overall I would go again, we all still had a fucking blast and really recommend. Just make sure to avoid that girl read more

The service is horrible, went in around 8:30, never was told it was it was happy hour, I would have bought everyone a drink, I left, and was threatened by the security and told not to come back for no reason, they accusing me me of a false allegation of drawing a penis on the bill. don't hate they player, hate the game and provide better service.

I went last night with some friends to dance, there was a $10 cover charge but was absolutely worth it. The DJ was great, and we got our drinks with little to no wait. We love Tony, only thing I would ask is to have cans. Dancing with glass is just a bad idea. Also the bathroom was like steaming hot? But overall I love this place. read more

I am not fan at all. I was in the area for Spring Break and was looking for some fun places to see. Upon being told about PB Avenue, we thought we would try it out. Immediately we were pushed by a security guard and were told to stay in line. I would not have mentioned this if we were out of line, but we were well within the ropes they had put up. For some reason that had the desire to make an already packed line more cramped. Terrible service from the security and staff. Also charged a $20 cover fee although upon entry there were maybe 15-20 people inside. They need to learn how to not use fog machines because I just remember barely being able to breathe because of how hot, musty, and foggy it was in there. Atrocious atmosphere and incredibly rude staff. Would never return here. Best to take your money elsewhere. read more

I personally love AVE! Fire Bar/Club vibes. Drinks come fast, service is good and under $10 (Before Tip). The Djs aren't big time but they definitely throw down and the music is loud and clean! They do a great job promoting on their social so just check the lineup first! read more

We came at around 5pm on a Saturday and there were only a couple of people there. We sat right at the bar and the bartender told us about their happy hour deals which include $3 liquor and drafts (they call them U-CALL-IT). This basically includes all the basic hard liquor and some draft beers. You can either take it as a shot, on the rocks (but still served in a shot glass) or with a mixer. They also have specialty mules and drinks for $5 from open to 10pm everyday. I wanted to try something different so I started with the bird dog peach, which I REALLY liked! It is what it sounds like: peach whiskey. The sweetness balanced out the strength of the whiskey which made for a really good tasting drink. I also really liked the southern comfort and the grand marnier raspberry peach. I really liked the atmosphere when I went. It was quiet and the bartender was just doing her thing and not very hands-on in terms of talking to us unless we needed something (can be a good or bad thing depending). With the drinks only being $3, I wanted to take advantage and I encourage everyone to do so as well. We liked it so much that we came back at night but it was a packed house so it was harder to get the bartender's attention. If I were to come back, I'd come back during the day while it's not as busy and more peaceful. read more

If I could give less than one star, I would. Truly the worst bar I've ever been to. I went there with some friends and someone shoved one of my friends and threw a drink on me. We ran out of the back emergency exit & 2 girls came out yelling at us that we can't go out that way.. then I asked the tall, African American with an Afro to please lead us out of the bar since we felt so uncomfortable. He was very condensing and said "you guys can go out the same way you came in." His whole job is to make sure people feel safe in this bar and he did the opposite. I will NEVER be back. read more

We love Avenue! They've been bringing in really good house music lately, went last night and got a bottle with Kate she was awesome.

Good little dive bar that plays good house music. It DOES get crowded later towards the night so keep that in mind. The manager is running the bar also and not just hiding in the background which shows that she cares about her team. read more

If I could ZERO stars I would. Was in line and tried to stretch my lower back which bouncers assumed was me being "too drunk" and would not let us in. I have hyper-mobility syndrome and the bouncer made assumptions and denied my group before we even approached because he saw me trying to stretch. Extremely ableist staff. If you have any type of disability or developmental issue do NOT go to this bar. Absolutely atrocious. Will NEVER return. read more

Joey was so amazing my friends boyfriend was playing a dj set and he was so amazing and the bouncer was so sweet! Everyone here was amazing!

I love avenue. Best happy hour. Best place to end the nights on the weekends My girlfriends and i did get roofied here one night but that was probably our fault. Don't drink out of a sky vodka bottle from some random guy. Lessoned learned there. Luckily we were with guy friends and they took us home safely Free popcorn and a photo booth read more

PB Avenue is a solid 3 stars on my part, which I will get into on as why I'm giving it a 3. An Eagles nest here in Pacific Beach! The chants of "Fly Eagles Fly" can be heard from the streets. Philly has taken over with the bleeding green on goers sporting Eagles jerseys from the past to the present. Myself included. The best part is if an idiot comes in wearing an opponents jersey, they will get harassed. I do my best to chip in and show the proper hospitality he or she deserves. Tonya along with the rest of these guys are great bartenders who try to accommodate everyone when this place is blowing up. PB has flat screens hanging around so the game will never be missed. They do make cheesesteaks on Sunday only during the Eagles game. Its not the greatest, it is over cooked and nothing but a salted up cheesy mess on a roll. Of course you wouldn't know this because you've got a good buzz on at 11 am where you might think this is the greatest thing ever. The food is where you need to improve in, hence the 3 stars. Add a kitchen, put a little something on the menu that will have people come back. I mean if you like watching people leave to go grab food , then pray they come back . If that is the case , please don't pay attention to this. You realize Pacific Beach has plenty of establishments that have a kitchen , with a pretty damn good product. You have all this working for you, great bar, and atmosphere and then you don't serve anything. The potential is there to make this an even better spot to come to if you had a kitchen. In all this is a great spot to come to, friendly staff, makes you want to come back. I know I will be back ! read more

This place was a lot of fun while I was visiting a group of friends who live here in Pacific Beach.. we definitely had a lot to drink and got rowdy! Great crowd, super fun and good music. I would visit again. read more

The bartender Bryce was extremely sweet and made sure that every patron was enjoying the experience. Fully enjoyed the experience as an LA local. Would come back knowing the staff is hospitable and welcoming. Thank you for the PB introduction! read more

Literally the worst bar ever. The bouncers didn't believe my friend's ID was real, and it was. And as soon as we asked what the problem was they became extremely defensive, started mocking us, and making gestures and faces at us. It was so incredibly unprofessional I was literally laughing because I could not fathom how they even got hired. It was such a horrible experience and there were maybe 15 people inside. Do not go here. I hope this place gets shut down ASAP. read more

Happy hour: 5-8pm Happy hour specials: different nightly specials but there's a $3 "U call it special" 7 days a week which is a select list of liquors and beers for $3 a pop. We came here twice in one night because why the hell not? The first time we stopped by was 5PM and there were only a few people. It was nice because we got some one on one time with each other as well as the bartender. She gave us good suggestions and was very friendly. The second time we came by it was around 10/11 and it was pretty poppin' but we weren't ignored by the bartender unlike some places. The bathrooms were clean both times which is always great when you're stumbling by the end of the night. All in all, it was a great little place that's tucked away on PB. read more

Shitty service. Came to celebrate my birthday and wasn't allowed to get in simply cause the totally RUDE manager decided to. I've never been treated so bad in my hole life and the owner was watching everything and didn't say a word to help. That's INSANE and disgusting. read more

Apparently me not knowing my zodiac sign is grounds for my ID is fake since CA drivers license is now produced slightly different than the older ones. Security guard was going to keep my ID cause he thought it was fake. I understand not taking chances but I don't understand how me not knowing my zodiac sign makes me guilty of not being 21 even though I am 21. I had to go to a different security guard and get help from others to prove that my drivers is in fact a real one. I already was checked by a different security guard as well who said my ID was ok. So the fact that I had to prove my ID was real after already being inside is ridiculous. The bar and atmosphere was great but I'm going to have to give this a 2 star because it was ruined by a dumb situation. I just don't see how not knowing a zodiac sign can confirm that an ID is fake. I don't plan on coming back after that incident. read more

I've been wanting to come here for awhile, because it always seems poppin, but by the time I get here, they're usually about to close. Anywho, randomly came here one saturday evening maybe around 7pm or so. It actually was very dead inside. I'd assume it probably does not get crowded until later in the night probably around 9pm or later unfortunately. I can say that it seems pretty spacious for what is is. A few big round booths along the walls adjacent from the long bar, with bar seating. Open spaced pathway in between, and a dance floor in the back. Maybe one day I'll come back again when its more busy and fun. read more

Hello PB residents, my friends tried to get in on my friend's 21st birthday evening, They didn't let her three times on account that it is not the next business day after her 21st birthday. She turned 21 on the 21st, and at 12:25 on the 22nd they told her she had to wait until 4 AM to get in. This is complete bullshit and this is ridiculous. Who isn't allowed into a bar on the night of their 21st birthday?!!!?!?!?!? read more

They suck. As much as you want house music they are NOT the vibe you. I tried to take money out for the cover charge (wow wtf)

This place honestly sucks. Seriously Overpriced drinks. And Shitty bouncers who don't respect the basic fellow. I have no idea who runs but i hope he understands that his staff is taking advantage of he/she and that they could care less about customer service read more

PB Avenue - Lameeeeee - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

It's definitely an upgrade from Plum Crazy! But with all the other options in PB, Avenue really isn't anything special. It was nearly empty on a Friday night, but it still took a while for the bartender notice us -- once he did, he was very friendly. Two beers and a vodka soda came to $18. If you come, check out the pretty back wall! read more

PB Avenue - pretty back wall - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is nice if you happen to be in PB and want to dance. The building/interior doesn't seem as dingy as most other places. I want to say it's a club, but think a scaled-down version of an usual club and that's probably what this place is exactly. There's a bar on your right, some booths on your left, and the dancefloor is in the back. Nothing too special, but it's worth making the trip if you happen to be bar/club-hopping in PB. read more

The security at this place is an absolute joke! I used to come here all the time when I went to SDSU, as it was a very popular college bar. It's definitely under new management or some thing because these guys at the front door were acting like they were running the most posh New York night club LOL and had a complete God complex! I saw them acting aggressive and rude to multiple people! Avenue y'all need new security! read more

Great local spot for the local house and techno music scene. It's in the middle of the populated areas of PB.

This place is an embarrassment. Why are you charging $10 for a cover when there are 25 people in the bar. This is literally a fucking joke. If you had no cover this place would be great, and I would love to come here at the end of the night, but there is no chance I would ever pay to come here at the end of the night to dance with 5 other people for money. Get it together. Actually the worst bar in PB read more

WORST experience EVER!!!! bouncers are on the BIGGEST power trip! they let me in no problem without even checking my ID clearly showing their favoritism towards women because once my boyfriend tried to get in, they told him his REAL ID was fake. my other female friends got in with no problems as well...apparently they are fine with letting anyone in so long as you are female. I would assume they let underage girls in all the time since they don't check at all. my bf even tried to show them proof that his ID was real with other identification, but they also said that was fake too and took pictures of his ID, threatening to ban him from all bars in PB. again, his REAL ID, just because they've clearly never seen an out-of-state ID. my bf has never had a problem getting into any bars before this one- I just can't believe it. the bouncers then began mocking us, making faces and cruel gestures claiming that we were on drugs and making fun of our personal belongings for absolutely NO reason. these men clearly couldn't find any other job where they could exert power, so they chose to work at a bar?? around people 24/7??...management should rethink their choices in who they hire because these men had absolutely no personable skills at all. these men should ALL be fired. I took pictures of all of their faces that I will be happy to provide if it means these men are one step closer to being fired for their actions. do NOT go here unless you would like to be ridiculed and bullied. horrible horrible people. read more

How is this place called or considered a sports bar when it doesn't open up till 8pm!!? That's ridiculous. Clearly this is more of a night club than anything. It's annoying cause it comes up as an Eagles bar! Good luck catching a game here read more

Only thing I don't like about this place is I get charged different prices for the same drink from different bartenders. Maybe I shouldn't complain if one bartender hooks me up with a discount, but I still prefer consistent pricing. read more

PB Avenue - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I would have given this place more than one star rating if the following didn't happen. I bought bottle service a year ago (before I left to travel) so that my friends could have some drinks on my tab even though I wasn't drinking that night. Only to have someone unknown to me move into my section. Asked the staff to have him removed, because he was "known" by the staff they refused to help. So I took my business elsewhere as they didn't seem to care. So I took a second to leave a negative review on Yelp. A year later after returning from traveling I decided to give them another chance. The "lovely" (partial owner "his bar") bartender calls me out on my first review in front of my friends and tried to make me feel bad for the review as if something owed to him. Needless to say the service was horrible the first time and now upon my return and second chance ... again horrible with a dash of condescending A-Hole sprinkled on top of it all. Don't waste your time or energy here. Simply read the rest of the reviews and see for yourself how others are treated. read more
