This is a bar with food and incredible views. Must be 21+ to enter, and this place can get rowdy at night and on weekends. If you're looking to party, this is your place. If you go during the day though, it can be a relaxing place to enjoy a drink and enjoy the ocean view.

This is the grand-daddy of beach breakfast. There will be a line, but the food is worth the wait! Plates will be piled high with whatever food you ordered, and they have a patio right across the street where guests can sit and watch the ocean while they enjoy their meal. This is truly a local staple.

Hidden local spots
Ahhhh, The Silver Fox. It is the mother of dive bars. It is dark and dingy, but man do we love it. If you want a chill place to buy cheap drinks and meet locals, this is the place for you. They have music and pool tables, or you can just chill at the bar. They also have a happy hour that starts at 6am!!

This is a cozy Italian restaurant, ran by a true Italian gentleman. This is truly a local hangout. You should definitely try their mind-blowing gnocchi bread bowl!

This is my FAVORITE local winery. They are hidden in a tiny neighborhood called Bird Rock about a 15 minute drive away from our home. The owners are from South Africa, and focus on zero-waste wine production.

This is about a 20 minute drive from your spot in Pacific Beach, but man is it worth it! Serpentine Cider has some of the best hard cider in California, and it just so happens to be owned by my boyfriend, Sean! It is in a cool area called "The Mirilani Makers' District" and you can find dozens of breweries, a winery, a cidery, a meadery, sake and tons of food places - all within a few hundred feet of each other. It's so cool!
