Serious EatsAugust 27, 2013Burgers come a la carte, with a wide variety of sides available. The sweet potato waffle fries are the way to go.
Brooke LouiseAugust 10, 2017Quite a few vegan options - falafel burger, teriyaki bowl. Great service, great beer.
- K13yFebruary 26, 2017Everything including the view! Great breakfast and poke. Adult beverages but kid friendly.
Awesome bar/restaurant! So far 6 of 7 menu items are delicious. ..sat at the bar...service is impeccable! Definitely will become a regular spot! Oh and u can't beat the view!- This is THE bar and restaurant that everyone who loves San Diego needs to frequent: surf, fresh air, stunning views of the waves and delicious seafood = instant favorite
- Veronica AAugust 2, 2013Great view w/ the open windows! An excellent raspberry mojito from Jack! Friends tried & ordered but they were TERRIBLE, nicely they didn't charge. Raw oyster shell pieces kept breaking into my mouth.
LevakerAugust 15, 2013The Halibut fish and chips here is so good, I honestly cannot have fish and chips anywhere else. Part of me is kind of bummed, but then again, it gives me an excuse to come back. So win/win I guess?
KooterOctober 7, 2014Beautiful view of the ocean while you eat. All the tacos are perfectly made to hit every taste bud. They also have a great beer selection.
Lyndsi WinerSeptember 10, 2014Great place for views. You can see the whole beach from here. Food is mid grade priced but, good. Love the Firebird burger! MMMM spicy!
The former Nick's at the Pier is being transformed into Wonderland Pub OB. It will also be a new live music venue in America's Finest City! So stay tuned at www.obrocks.com
Matthew OlsenJune 21, 2013Bright, open, fun environment with a view if the ocean that can't be beat. Great food! Great beer selection! Bar games! What more could you want?!
This is THE BAR San Diego has been waiting for!!! Amazing views, great cocktails and awesome food. Locals and tourists will love this place!
Everything I have eaten here has been good but anything with the garlic fried rice is awesome. That at the stickybuns in the morning are bomb.
Kristine POctober 29, 2016Best tacos I had in SD. Excellent guacamole. Sit at benches by open windows. Very nice staff
The view. #SDBeer. Cheap Tecate drafts. Live Oyster Crabs with your oysters if you're lucky.
- Jon MenagerSeptember 7, 2015Really bumpin' spot with killer views of OB. Did someone say $10 bottles of champagne before 2pm? Yup. The mimosas be flowin'.
Julieaanna PiatekAugust 29, 2013Sat at the bar and they were nice enough to put on the game I wanted to watch. Staff was very friendly!
Packed in the early evening so get here early for one of the best views in OB.
Their version of Loco Moco is fricken delicious! I get this almost everytime we come here 🍴- Be here for a classic San Diego sunset—chances are the bar will offer a complimentary drink for a toast!
Beef Skewers rock, great view and drinks. Ask Mina for a hug !!
- One of the best views - and the fish tacos are amazing too!
NicoleOctober 18, 2013View, check. Good food, check. Sparkles as a waitress, perfect! She's great, and knows a lot about beer n the food!
Amazing on the inside...I miss Nicks but they did a great job revamping the place. Nachos however were disappointing.
David PickeringAugust 2, 2014Sat at the bar before sunset on a Friday. Got a complimentary shot to take at sunset.
Happy is by far the best bartender in this place. If he's your bartender, you're winning.
Loukas PetridisApril 27, 2018Outstanding view to the ocean. The guacamole and shrimp burger were mediocre.
Kat QuigleyJuly 13, 2013This place is bomb!!!! Go see my roommate Courtney tonight! Best bartender out there!!!
Not too shabby. Not cheap, but for that location/view you can't expect dive prices. Ceviche/fish tacos is solid

"I love OB. People are friendly, plenty of bars and good food all by the beach. No place better in San Diego."
Alan Bush - 9.0
"This is an amazing experience in a low-key setting. Make an afternoon of hanging at the Pier and beach, then spend the evening on Newport Ave for food and drinks! The Harp and Winstons are always good"
Jeffrey Wallace - 8.5
"Love their tacos. Faves are the Baja, grilled shrimp and lobster. I prefer the salsa on the side. Helps get all of the white sauce directly onto the fish, then I can manage the amount of salsa Fresca."
