With handcrafted beer, eclectic menu, friendly service, and a lodge-like ambiance, Pacific Beach Alehouse is anything but ordinary. Dining Out magazine calls us "a world class microbrewery and restaurant," and "a destination for beer aficionados, tourists, and locals. We offer a wide variety of savory handcrafted burgers, flatbreads, and signature dishes. We feature four separate dining areas, each with its own unique atmosphere. You can sip a cold refreshing beer on our Sky Deck while enjoying the unparalleled views of Crystal Pier and the Pacific Ocean, or you can cozy up to the fire pit on our patio. Inside you can relax with your friends at our tables adjacent to our microbrewery. We offer free Wifi. We accept online reservations for groups of 6-12 guests. Reservations for 12+ people, please call the restaurant to book. We do not guarantee seating on the Sky Deck, but may request it as a preference.

I booked a table for lunch as part of our staff development retreat, and I was so pleased that the PB Alehouse staff was so accommodating in seating us quickly and allowing us to move to a new table when the sun was in our eyes. We enjoyed our food, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful meal with an ocean view! Thanks, PB Alehouse, for enhancing our staff retreat! -The Staff at Christ Lutheran Church, PB

Our server was excellent, personable and new when to come over. We had a party of 7 and everyone received their food at the same time! I highly recommend the turkey melt.

The Pacific Beach Alehouse had delicious food and fun atmosphere. The burgers were huge so we were easily able to split them for a filling dinner. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Having reservations for our group of 8 worked perfectly. I would recommend this place for a family or friend gathering.

We went for brunch and we all tried something different, they were all hits. The food did not take too long and everything was hot. Our drinks also were good and a good amount of alcohol. For a party of 8 it was relatively reasonable for the location and quality.

We watched a football game and had brunch outside. It was a great time and the service was wonderful. Some interesting food choices and everything was tasty. We transferred up to the rooftop and had a great view. The TVs weren't fantastic for watching the game, but adequate.
