The Plank in Imperial Beach has been consistently hands-down one of the best local spots on the…read moreentire San Diego coast, and I'm so glad it's still here thriving for tourists and San Diegans. The owner pours their heart into this place; I can feel it the second I walk in the same way after 20 years. The vibe is perfect: chill beachy feel without trying too hard, great music at the right volume, and the friendliest staff in IB. Whether you're grabbing a beer or a bite- just chilling on the patio with friends at sunset, everything is consistently excellent. Ye Olde Plank in Imperial Beach is a community. Thanks to the owner and the whole crew for keeping a spot that feels like home every single time. Highly recommended to locals and visitors into a natural vibe. We're lucky to have it so treat it well and it treats you even better. Thank you for providing us food this Thanksgiving!!!!

The cheesy patty on rye bread was still delicious, and there were more fries than I could eat. Not much of a crowd except for the comics themselves, maybe 10-12 with a very entertaining host in between. All were good but many were hilarious including a first-timer. Fun vibe for sure, I would happily go again. I deducted one star because as a new guest, I asked the bartender if they had any special house cocktails. She seemed to hear the word special and thought I meant cheap. I said not necessarily cheap, but do you have any interesting house cocktails here. She said no, so I ordered something boring. Then I got the food menu which on the back had an entire list of house cocktails. But service overall was excellent.

This particular occasion, myself and another patron sat down at the bar and waited....and waited...and..... Finally I asked the cook if there was a bartender. He told me "no bartender. the bar is closed for an hour". Now wouldnt you think that IF the bar was closed at a Bar and Grill they would maybe close the doors and not let people sit there and wait for somebody that never shows up? Just a thought. I dont know if they changed ownership possibly, but this kind of (lack of) service is not going to fly with the general public. Its a shame. I use to love this place.

Amazing service, couldn't recommend this bar enough! Can't wait to go back! Recommend fridays :-)read more

They'd had to look it up. I asked a different bartender for a refill and she made her version of if it. Which is where I closed it out. She added some. Other flavor coloring I don't know what it's was but it was pink. I said it's not a Moscow and she replied that's how I make it!!! You will get charged over 8 bucks and it's not what you asked for! lol i Drinks aren't cheap these days and these girls have no clue! They will charge you 10 bucks for a shitty ci ktail you didn't even request cause they don't know how to make basic drinks!

I told her to give me something to clean it with if it bothered her so bad and she said she needed a special cleaner ( mind you the carpet is already old and dirty lol ) but she was super disrespectful and to ask me to hold my dog In my lap is actually illegal. Bring back the old bar tenders who were here before I have been coming here FOR YEARS and it never seemed to bother anyone besides this new girl. common Manhattan. I could file a lawsuit and win but I'll just let it go. NEVER HAVE I EVER been asked to " hold my dog In my lap " lol wow!!! She really had the nerve

Entered the place and was presently surprised. The place has this cool and nostalgic vibe. Old school bar look, plenty of pool tables and noise level perfect. I enjoyed an iced cold large size glass of good old 805 on tap. I was limited on time however I'd love to return and try another ice cold one on tap and of course a nice sandwich with some yummy bar food appetizers.....Next time... Great Service and wonderful ambience. I would definitely recommend this establishment to wet your whistle and/or enjoy some classic bar food!
