Tavern at the Beach San Diego Reviews
Service is great. Really good food. The vibe is the best. RIP Q We love you.
Fun times. They have a party room for private parties too.
This was a great place for us UofA Wildcats fans to hang out and watch the games!! Good tasting bar food and good drink specials. Check it out!!
Tavern is great. Love coming here great bar to watch football.
Came only for happy hour. Was pleasantly surprised to learn the entire drink menu was half off. They offer a very impressive list of craft beers, many local. The staff is very engaging and friendly. Lots of TVs which was key for MNF and the ALCS on. We did not eat food but we will be back.
An amazing option for private events. I love coming here for a chill hangout and great food, but we had an event and it was exceptional. They set us up in the back area and we ordered sliders, wings and a nacho bar from their events menu. Can do an open bar or run tabs - we had our own bartender and they kept the area cleaned, took photos for us, and were so kind. We were able to decorate the back bar area and there was plenty of space and so much support from the staff. Highly recommend this spot for events, or casual drinking. Definitely a favorite spot on Garnet.
This a legit sports bar for NBA Playoff games, great all around service & food is solid. Awesome place.
The staff was SO friendly. Not something I expect going into a sports bar normally, but was a pleasant surprise. Food was delicious (those tots are 🔥!) and they had a really good selection of drafts! I'm excited for when everything is back open & get to experience the atmosphere, it seems like such a fun place to enjoy a meal & catch a game!
We came here to watch football game. Plenty of good quality screens and fast and courteous service. However, the food is average pub food (we tried chicken wings, hamburger, and chips salsa). I would come here to be with friends to watch game and socialize but likely will eat before or after somewhere else.
It's an extremely loud and busy nightclub more than it is anything else. Getting service is a challenge and prices are a bit ridiculous but that is to be expected from a nightclub. I suppose if you are in your twenties and looking to get drunk and laid this would be just fine.
Came here with friends for the UFC/boxing/Lakers vs warriors playoff. First time here and won't be coming back. This is a college town. Explains why most of the patrons were rude and disrespectful. a person sat at our table because he said he's tired of standing and his crowd decided to join him by resting against our table and leaving their drinks there. No one ask. Rude. I thought their hot wings, ceviche and mahi were good but not great. The mahi was bland. It's super loud in here. You'll have to yell across your table when speaking to your friends. They have edm music at night to dance to if you want but there's a cover charge. Cool staff and the lady manager was nice.
Bar tender/manager took my card and opened a tab. When closing the tab after 4 beers for our group, he apparently gave my card to another patron … that person left the bar with my card.
Went for UFC event, paid the cover, did a lap and had nowhere to sit, left and they refused to give me my money back. Was there less than 5 minutes. Manager brushed me off. Not sure if that's normal but I'll never go back. Sure the food and booze are on par with every other crowded sports bar in pb.
Terrible service. Sat with an empty glass for several minutes while my bartender socialized with other customers. I ended up leaving after 1 beer; had to flag down another worker to pay my tab. This bar seems to be very cliquish during the day. I will not go back.
