This spot has something for everyone! Bustling market in an old Navy building with hip eateries, bars & specialty food & craft vendors. After you fill up, head outside for a walk. There's a nice path that runs along the waterfront. This area has unique architecture as it was originally one of the U.S. Navy's Bootcamp locations. I'm partial to it, since I'm a Navy Veteran myself ;)

Amazing freshly made pasta & sauce. It's my favorite because you get to pair your pasta & your sauce! Indoor & outdoor seating. I highly recommend a reservation!

Stunning views of the San Diego Bay, The City, The USS Midway & The Coronado Bridge! You'll see sailboats, cruise ships, & occasionally a seal or dolphin. Sunday Brunch is pretty amazing (get a reservation) & the happy hour is good too!

Drinks & Nightlife

For the beer lover. Hip gastropub & brewery with international eats, craft beers, bocce games & outdoor tables. They've done an amazing job with the landscaping that surrounds the outdoor eating spaces. In the summer they usually offer classic movie nights. Think drive-in movie, only bring lawn chairs for you & your pals or a blanket to snuggle up with your sweetie.

Arts & Culture

Wednesday is OB Farmer's Market Day (4-8pm)! There's a bohemian vibe & a live band to make you wanna move your dancin' feet! It's so close to the ocean that, when you've had your fill of the food, music & shopping, you can have a stroll on the beach or catch the sunset.
