    I came here on 2/21/26 for a birthday celebration. The concept is great and the place decore is alright. It seems like the service was just at the bar (no waitress). They told us the food was limited, they did not have any chicken. They could not make anything that's made with chicken. They also had to check about the flat bread and could only do the pepperoni or cheese only. I'm not sure how you are limited on the menu on a Saturday.

    First off Pacific Beach has difficult parking and they have paid meter parking. If you're like me though, you don't mind walking a quarter mile and driving around for 10 minutes looking for a parking spot. I came here for a Pittsburgh Steelers game, there was a really good crowd. In fact the bar was mostly full. The bartenders were friendly, but they were out of stock on quite a bit of items and it also took 40 minutes to get my french fries. The person next to me said they had to wait 50 minutes for a single order of tater tots. The biggest Takeaway here is if you're coming for drinks, most of the beers were out on draft and a lot of their liquor was out. If you're coming here for food, you're looking at a 35+ minute wait. That being said I've only experienced this on a game day. I personally don't think I will revisit this bar even though I'm a big Steelers fan. But I do think if they figure out the hold up with the kitchen and have their bar a little more stocked up this place could be much more successful and thriving. The bartenders were really trying to hold this place together as best they could. Fortunately, there are a lot of TVs, so there was no missing of any of the gameplay. They also did a raffle with prizes, that was cool. I did not win, but exciting nonetheless. Sidenote, there's also a small bowling alley in the corner. I believe there's two lanes. I don't know much about it, but I know it's there!

    We came here after watching some football and even though there was some hiccups at the start, the bowling went smoothly. It's a per hour rate so depending how many you are that can lead into multiple rounds or just 1-2. We didn't have any drinks so can't say much about the bartender but it's definitely a big place. There are only 4 lanes of bowling so I could see it easily filled up.

    Johnny V's! I can still see the bones of the predecessor, and those Friday nights of yesteryears will always live on in spirit. But Break Point is a completely revamped space that is bright and modern. It also happens to be a Steelers bar, so the old Bub's Steelers crowd is here nowadays. Great place to catch the Steelers game with a lively crowd and some fun extras. Large projector screen and smaller tv screens from every angle make every seat a great spot to view the game. You can purchase raffle tickets for multiple prizes at halftime. Free beer at the end if the Steelers win. DJ and photographer on site to rock the party. Food was actually pretty good bar food, but the kitchen and service are pretty inefficient. Everyone was friendly, but the execution seems sloppy. Food arrived cold, and we had to flag down someone for everything - drinks, food, napkins, utensils, plates, free beer at the end. Apparently they've been open for four years, but I would've thought it was a new place working out the kinks. Luckily we were there for a few hours watching the game, so we had time to wait.

    Four bowling lanes!

    Had a blast here! Super cool 4 lane bowling alley w great service!!! You can make reservations but we were there at opening and snatched up two lanes. Look forward to visiting again.

    BOWLING IN PB (4 stars) Who knew they had bowling lanes? I didn't! Thought this was just a bar all this time. Didn't get a chance to eat or drink but came here to bowl. However, those that ordered food were very pleased and they do give generous portions. The rental shoes are average, the available bowling bowls are ok - could be better quality but they do the job. They have 4 bowling that seem well kept. The lanes are off to the side and they have two big comfortable round booths for those who are bowling. Very convenient to chill and hangout. The rest of the space was very accommodating for your hangout needs. Booths, tables, bar, tv, and the (small) public restrooms. Would like to come back and bowl and next time eat and drink too. Until the next visit....

    We were in town to see our grandson and we are so glad we found this Steelers Bar. Great staff and community of Steelers Nations. We will be back!

    I heard about this place in PB that's a Buckeyes & Steelers bar. I had to go check it out. I will say they do have both team flags up outside. That's a plus to me The atmosphere is very chill & fun. It's a half bowling spot with 4 lanes, a sports bar & a venue for live music. A ton of tv's where you have no issue of watching your favorite team. A big screen TV over the stage, that would be rad to your favorite teams. Customer service is 100%, they do happy hour 4-7 & all night on Wednesday. The drinks were on point & I satisfied on what I eat. Give them try, trust me you'll be pleased !!!

    What a great night! I came in after a long drive, and was greeted by a very friendly bartender named Kelsi, she was on top of it running the bar alone. She made me a fabulous drink with grey goose, called lucky strike. They have games on, like baseball and football and there is an overall fun atmosphere.

    John and some ice cold vodka sodas.

You have to be within 7 days of your requested reservation date so as soon as I was closer I set up a reservation through Open Table. They do require a deposit which was fine because it made sure that we had the lanes needed for our party. I actually ended up calling the Tavern and Bowl to see if they had any earlier reservations and they told me if the person who requested an earlier time didn't pay the deposit I'd get the time slot. I am so lucky because these people didn't pay their deposit and we got the time and the lane. Cute thing, you can actually have kids come too, my niece who is 5 got to come along and they had a little device for her so she can push the ball, she ended up beating me. Everyone was so kind and service was so smooth and efficient, we got to bring donuts for our party and my husband and I ordered the carnitas nachos, they were delicious. Seriously such a great time, obviously this is before the Padres season so we lucked out on parking but this is a great place to host birthday parties. Thank you again for letting us have such a great time!

However, if you're looking for great cocktails, quicker service, or a more relaxed atmosphere, there are definitely better options around town.

It was fairly busy but we were still able to get a lane! - PARKING - Large parking lot, not an issue getting a spot here. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - You check in at the front and let the staff know how many hours you'd like to book. It's $50/hr on the weekends and $35 on the weekdays. $6 for shoe rentals! The lanes themselves are pretty small - there were only 3 seats plus the center seat, so if you weren't taking up two lanes with your group, you had to share the area. Bowling balls are everywhere so you might have to look for the correct weight that works for you. - EXPERIENCE - The system seems a little older, and sometimes was hard to figure out. The lanes were also a bit slow to reload the pins at times. Because of some of these delays, we were just shy of finishing our second game, so our friend asked if we could just get an extra 10 minutes and luckily he was nice enough and added time. We also ordered a pitcher of beer and it seemed like a decent price. - OVERALL - A fun casual activity to spend time with friends or for a date night out!

The bowling alley is large with 44 lanes however it was quite busy on the weekend and full. They only take reservations if you reserve a minimum of 2 lanes for at least 1.5 hours. Otherwise it's first come first serve. Note certain days they have very limited lanes due to leagues playing so you may want to call in advance about availability. In addition to bowling, they have a small arcade section, bar area, and food service. Prices are $35/hr per lane Monday to Thursday and $50/hr per lane Friday to Sunday and holidays. $6 per shoe rental. A bit pricey for a family outing but I guess if you split costs with friends it's more reasonable. Note there is limited seating around the lanes, only 3 seats per lane. It can be tricky to find the right ball size as well when busy. Ample parking in the lot and street. Overall a nice activity to consider when going out but for the price probably not on a regular basis.
