The Harp

Wednesday night is "jam session", with other local and out-of-towner groups..cool and upbeat music. Eight TVs are mounted for the sports enthusiasts. They have Happy Hour drink specials from 4:20-6:00 everyday, and all other drinks are reasonably priced. The crowd is very friendly and includes many first-timers and regulars. Food is available, plentiful and absolutely delicious. The staff is THE BEST. Come and enjoy.

The harp is one of my favorite spots in all of San Diego! I come often for good food, amazing music, and an overall positive environment 🙏 the owners and employees are all top notch and make sure I’m well taken care. Come check out a ticketed show, they are some of the best for a small venue that I have ever experienced 🙌

It depends when you come. In my experience Steve is awesome. If you are just in for a Guinness and a show this is your place. Update: I came to the bar on Thanksgiving and their thanksgiving dinner was awesome. Well seasoned and the turkey meat was not dry. All and all a great experience for a holiday.

What a night! Blaze you and your band are amazing!! We stopped in tonight and Pinnacle was here doing their thing. Beautiful to see how many people felt the love and music. It was my birthday along with Father’s Day weekend. We couldn’t have enjoyed it with better people. My kids even got to enjoy the luxury of a live band! Feeling blessed and so happy to experience such talent with my children, as well as a student of Pinnacle’s lead singer! What an inspiration for young music artist out there. Live music in person is something we truly need to appreciate and keep going. We had a blast and made some lasting memories here. Stop by for great vibes and an awesome Saturday night! Thank you to the band for the hard work and energy you put into the night. I hope the love was reciprocated by all. Thank you to The Harp for great drinks, the atmosphere, music, and the arcade games that gave my kids something else to check out and was also apart of our youth growing up. One love and rock on!!

I’ve been in OB forever, but in the past The Harp was never really my go-to spot. It felt depressing when I would walk by. Not that it was bad, it just didn’t feel like my vibe. Then this past summer, everything changed when new ownership breathed fresh life into the place. It’s like they dug deep into a treasure trove of potential and finally unearthed the gold. Now, The Harp has become my home away from home. Before the new owners, I barely even knew The Harp served food. Now today, with their new kitchen staff, the menu is nothing short of phenomenal. I guessing I’ve tried more dishes this past few years than most locals residents, and everything I’ve tried at Yhe Harp has been amazing. Add to that the revival of live music, and music that truly gets the OB vibe, it’s clear these new owners know how to create something special. The staff is top-notch, friendly, welcoming, and perfectly in tune with the laid-back beach energy that makes OB what it is. Just yesterday, I tried their brand new Reuben sandwich, and let me tell you, it’s a homerun. They’ve taken a pub classic and elevated it with care and attention to detail. The rye sourdough bread is perfectly golden and crisp, the corned beef is tender, flavorful, and generously portioned, and the tangy sauerkraut and Russian dressing strike a perfect balance. Melted Swiss cheese ties it all together, adding just the right touch of richness. The house-made fries on the side complement the meal perfectly. Between the incredible food, killer music, cocktails and unbeatable vibe, I’ll definitely be a regular now.

Ya the Harp has all the vibezzzz!!!! Tyson one of the owners is such a cool dude. He makes the spot even better. Drinks are killer and the food rocks. They have live music all the time and it’s a great spot to chill at. Great location to everything in OB. The spot to hang with friends, drink, listen to music and eat.

East Rock Roots

I truly was extremely happy with all three..FOOD/SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE The cheeseburger sliders were good enough to be main topic up in my next 100 conversations in life..I shit you not. Absolutely Amazing. Great Service and always felt that comforting Ob vibe. place is LEGIT!!!

The Harp is my favorite Irish Pub in San Diego. They have great food, awesome staff and live music often. They even have a fireplace to warm up next to on those cold 55 degrees San Diego winter nights.

We were visiting from Florida and were blown away by the entire experience at the Harp! From the friendly bar tenders & staff, to the delicious food & drink, to the incredible live music. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re ever anywhere near OB, do yourself a favor and go check out The Harp !!🪉

Cool OB vibe with this place. Great staff and not a bad place to catch some local music. The stage set up is a bit strange but doesn't impact the music or ahow.

Love coming here with friends, it’s upbeat but still chill. Staff has always been super friendly and it’s nice to see the owners back there still bartending !!!! Reggae saturdaze is my favorite time to go 🙌🙌

Definitely the place to be for positive vibes, tasty food, and amazing service! The live music is next level and you never know who might show up…The Harp is a local bar run by awesome locals.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place is exactly what a great local pub should be. From the moment you walk in, it feels welcoming, lively, and full of character. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and energetic, especially when the live music kicks off — talented bands, great sound, and a vibe that makes you want to stay for “just one more” song. The food is a pleasant surprise and far beyond typical pub fare. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care — hearty portions, great presentation, and comfort food done right. Pair that with a solid drink selection, and you’re set for a perfect night out. What really makes this pub special, though, is the sense of community. Friendly staff, regulars who make you feel like one of them, and an overall warmth that’s hard to find these days. Whether you’re stopping in for dinner, catching live music, or just grabbing a drink with friends, this spot delivers every time. A true neighborhood gem — I’ll definitely be back again and again

I love this place! Bartenders are friendly. Steve always has a big smile on his face. I enjoy going there on a Sunday afternoon to listen to the local music playing on stage. Drinks are cold and environment is entertaining. It’s a win win for OB!

The Harp Ocean Beach is one of those places that just gets it. Friendly staff, come-as-you-are attitude, and absolutely no filters—just easy, laid-back vibes. They’ve got a great mix of food and beverage options, and it’s one of the best spots in OB for live music, most nights with no cover, which is a huge bonus. Whether you’re popping in for a drink or settling in for some music, it always feels welcoming and unpretentious. If you’re looking for a place with solid food and drinks, great live music, and an atmosphere where you can truly be yourself, the Harp OB delivers every time.

The Harp feels like my second home!! It’s my 1st, 2nd and last stop when I visit San Diego/OB. The owners have always welcomed me into the bar as if I was coming to a party at their home. MUSIC, did I mention that??? You just never know who might end up on stage any given night!! They have insanely quality artists in an intimate setting. INSANELY HIGH QUALITY!!!! Oh, the drinks are really cold and priced well. This is a bar, don’t come for an espresso martini or a frozen daiquiri! Thanks for the good times, be back as soon as I can!

When the lead singer of slightly stoopid asks what can I get you to drink? Well, that's a high you never come down from ha. Amazing what that group is doing with the place. 10/10 music.

Roger Hage

First time in San Diego I loved this place the service and atmosphere was amazing greeted by the female bartender who was super sweet and amazing wore my mets t shirt and there was a guy there who was a Mets fan beers were great Smith wicks on tap I'll definitely come again

Carmen Lucci

Holly is an amazing bartender with an outstanding knowledge of cocktails and beer knowledge. I feel like beer knowledge is especially important in San Diego. I had the burger, the Philly cheese steak, and the Corned beef egg rolls (different times) to eat so far. Everything was so amazing and the customer service was so great! I can't wait to come back again! PS: crispen is the coolest door guy I've ever met!
