    Food: more tapas style than actual meal. Food tastes good and reasonable prices. Plenty vegetarian options. Loved the arancini and halloumi fries. Drinks: alright. Mango lassi was bright but reeked of egg. The 5 o clock in rio was a fav. The mai tai was the least fav. Service: slow. They appear to be very busy and short staffed esp at the bar. They missed a cauliflower entree and the drink took too long to come. They took it off the bill tho (thanku!). Ambience: nice! Pretty. See pictures.

    Wifey and I were again in the mood for a speakeasy so we chose Captain's Quarters in PB. We arrived right around opening time and checked in outside and were directed to step in. At check-in we were asked if we were there for Grass Skirt or Captain's Quarters. We'll check out Grass Skirt next time. We were then led through a hidden door and walked into a nautically themed decored room and I loved it. We both started with the Gunwale Old Fashioned. I love a standard Old Fashioned but I also love variations on the classic and this one was delicious. The presentation of the cocktail was sharp and my taste buds appreciated the flavors that shined through. My second cocktail I decided to change things up with a Deep Water. Again the presentation was clean and I liked the flavors this drink had to offer. Wife had a classic Old Fashioned it was yummy as well. As far as food, Captain's Quarters doesn't have an extensive menu but what we had I liked. We ordered the BBQ Pork Belly Bao, the Chicken Aleppo Tacos, and the Za'atar Fried Chicken Nuggets. I enjoyed each of these food items. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Captain's Quarters and will definitely keep this speakeasy in the rotation.

    We had a great time here- what a hidden gem for food! We came for the drinks but I think the food was even better. The fried cauliflower with yogurt sauce, pork sandwich, and date cake dessert were all great. I'm not a big espresso martini person but their version of it was awesome and I'd totally order it again! Service was great, our waitress gave us great recommendations based on our personal tastes. Ambiance was quiet, subdued, with cozy but well spaced booths.

    Not sure what this was

    After having food at the Grass Skirt next door we headed over to Captains Quarters. I read reviews and seen pics so was looking forward to it. It was Valentine's Day night so it was loud and crowded which is to be expected I guess for Pac Beach. Still the service was very good and so was my drink. The decor was just as I had imagined and seen in pictures but nothing really pleasantly surprised me there. Long line for the one bathroom and ordered a terrible desert- since we didn't get one at grass skirt: but it was quite bad and not worth m the money. Something that tasted like burnt chocolate and looked like ummmm... well you can check out my pic. Overrated in my opinion, worth checking out on not such a crowded night.

    The Captain's Quarters is a great little hidden gem in Pacific Beach that's a must visit. The bars is impressive and amazingly done for those who enjoy a great martini or cocktail this place is it hands down! So do yourself a favor and stop by.

    What a fun speakeasy. Small but intimate, which is great for date night. This place is super clean and the service was awesome. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. The pistachio prescription was delicious. This drink was super tasty and just the right amount of alcohol. Thank you Captain's Quarter for your hospitality and fun night. Will definitely be back.

    El monte? And Miracle on Grand Ave
    Marisa J.

    Compared to next door, we enjoyed this spot a lot more. You go through the tile wall at the host stand to get inside. The ambiance was cozy and intimate and we really enjoyed feeling like we were inside a ship. The holiday decor was appropriate for the season and not overdone. Sitting at the bar, the service was prompt and the bartenders had good suggestions for beverages. Our drinks were super delicious and well balanced. Small bites were perfect for 2 people and paired well with our beverages. Also a great one and done spot for the holidays! Glad we came here, it was a cute spot for a night trip to San Diego.

    The nautical speakeasy in the back of grass skirt was very fun and cozy. Bigger than I expected. They have the bar decked out for Christmas, which I appreciate. We visited on a Sunday night. The cocktails we tried were delicious. The - Caliprina- savory salsa infused cachaca. Don't be scared. Just try it: - miracle on Grand Ave - mulled wine sour. Very festive. - the CQ dirty Martini - if you love savory, dirty briney martinis you'll enjoy this. They give u the option of what kind of olive you want- your choice are blue cheese, pimiento and pickled. Goood vibes. Great cocktails. Fun decor. Ask Bartender Hoppy For the Cham-Bong !!! The only reason I give 4/5 is because of the host. She was kind of rude. Apparently, You're supposed to exit through a back door, but we weren't told about it until we left through the front door. It would've been helpful to know that from the beginning. Overall, it was fun. Thanks CQ team.

    Food (chicken nuggets in the front, manchego prosciutto sandwich in the back left, brussel sprouts in the back right)

    Their drinks are really solid. Some of the best I've had at a speakeasy. But they changed their menu!! And got rid of my favorite drink (bright shiny morning)! Boo. It's okay though, they have many other tasty cocktails. Some good ones from their holiday menu too. If you like mint chocolate, highly recommend the Winter Fog. Maybe because of the classier holiday theme -- they turned down the music volume. So I'm a happier camper from that front. Vibes were on-point this time, which was a relief since we brought first-timers. Favorite cocktails thus far: Sunny in Singapore, Caliprina, & The Bramble -- the clarified cocktails are really easy to drink.

    Spooky island and Basic witch, haunted ship special edition cocktails
    Wendy G.

    One of my favorite speakeasies in SD, thanks to the creative themed decor and always lively bartenders. BF and I came on the last night of the Haunted Ship Halloween-themed event, and found CQ decked out in stellar Pirates of the Caribbean style. The bay and portal windows with nautical scenery, as well as the rest of the design from vintage wallpaper to copious tentacles, make you feel transported into a sea faring galleon filled with grog and scalliwags galore. The spooky, sinisterly shifting paintings on the left hand wall evoke the Haunted Mansion, and tonight there were so many wonderful Halloween details from animatronic ghost pirates to skeletal parrots and, of course, an on theme special drink menu. We chose two rum-centric libations--the pandan-spiked Spooky Island and the Thai tea-infused, desserty Basic Witch. Both were nuanced, flavorful and perfect treats after a big meal at Costa Brava. This joint is extra fun as you can cross the kitchen on your way out and check out Grass Skirt, an entirely different speakeasy that shares the same building.

    Fried Pickles

    Came to Captain's Quarters over the weekend and I was very impressed. The entrance and ambiance was awesome, mimicking a ship or as you guessed a captains quarters. Tony was our bartender for the night, and he was super friendly and made excellent drinks. We ordered the following: * Island Bird (8/10) which was tequila based and had strawberry and lime. Super refreshing and easy to drink, also had tajin on the rim of the glass. * Gunwale Old Fashion (8.5) you'd be surprised how many places mess this drink up, but CQs delivered and it was delicious. * Captain's Cold Brew (9/10) hands down the best drink of the night. I could probably knock back five of these but then I wouldn't be able to sleep or drive. The cream they use sets this apart from your traditional espresso martini. We also ordered fried pickles which were delicious. Overall a great experience and price point for cocktails. Would I go again? Absolutely!

    Interior of Captains Quarters
    Angeline A.

    Loved this speakeasy! What drew me to this location was the design and interior of the place. Using the screens to mirror windows of the ship was unique. The servers were super knowledgeable about the drinks and very chill, one wore a dinosaur suit and gave us mini dinosaurs. I'd say the music and vibe is definitely more of a college vibe. I'm not much of a drink connoisseur, but just enjoy sweeter drinks Sum Aloha: One of the sweeter drinks on the menu with gin Island Bird: More spicy and I enjoy the Tajin rim

    Tylee W.

    This speakeasy is perfect for girls night! It is absolutely stunning inside and we loved everything about it. The menu has a lot of different options for cocktails and they were able to make custom drinks as well. I ordered a lychee martini and the bartender asked me questions to see how exactly I wanted it. He ended up making it with a little bit of vanilla spice which I loved. It was so unique! The service is great. The decor is great. I would definitely come back here.

    Where can I park?

    There is a parking lot. Depending on the hours you may have to pay for parking. Everything I have visited I was able to park for free.

    Is this somewhere I can take my 7 and 11yo for early dinner (5 or 6pm)?

    No, it's a lounge/adult vibe. There were no children on sight.

    What is the 5% surcharge for?

    Supposedly to cover the wage hike that happened in 2019. At this point it's just a cash grab.

    I will preface this review with the acknowledgment that this is the epitome of first world…read moreproblems. I actually love this place (I could have sworn I had reviewed positively before). I'm just extremely disappointed with how poor my experience was today because I had only super positive experiences previously and was looking forward to dining there this morning after sometime away, but holy hell ....today's experience has been so profoundly bad. Firstly, my husband ordered two breakfast burritos - one with bacon and the other with bacon on the side. I'll chalk this one up to miscommunication, but they put bacon in one, and bacon in the other too - and then added bacon on the side to the other and charged us $5.50 for the extra bacon. Again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here and will be sure to communicate explicitly next time. They kindly made me a new one, but the new one had potatoes that weren't cooked thoroughly (likely to rush the food to me, so I acknowledge the difficulty here), however there was hardly any avocado. I literally had to complain again because I didn't believe there was any avocado at all. I wouldn't be as pissed if this weren't an EIGHTEEN DOLLAR breakfast burrito. Lastly, the coffee lids don't fit on the cups. We tried to put one on and ended up spilling the entire coffee. I chalked this up to an accident on our part, however another patron who observed our incident said "their lids don't fit the cup, right??" And I was like "oh so it wasn't just us??" And she was like "no, I almost spilled mine all over too." This random patron encouraged us to ask for a new cup of coffee as a result (thanks, random patron!). The Molly's team did kindly make us a new (albeit quite bitter) drink, which I appreciate. However, the lid was still an issue - it would spill out of the cup all over the rim between the cup and the lid when I'd try to take a sip, so I took off the lid entirely, but then was stuck with dealing with spills while walking around - I had to move at a snail's pace to prevent spills altogether. This was easier to deal with random leakage around the entire cup every time I'd sip with the lid on. Ultimately It was just a lose-lose with the ill fitting lid situation. All this to say - Molly's Team, yall were fantastic just a month ago. What happened? I understand food and services in the beach area stuff are often expensive and rarely good, but you guys are *too* expensive for this poor of service and quality. Two stars because at least the folks there are generally nice.

Our food came out - with a decent amount of wait time - and it looked great! We ordered a couple of cocktails from the menu as well, which we got right away. I had gotten something similar to an Espresso Martini, but the drink fell short in both the taste and the presentation. My beer battered fish tacos were good, but nothing extraordinary. I believed they lacked a bit of taste...perhaps seasoning? The jam burger on the other hand, extremely juicy and flavorful! The fries were nice and crispy & seasoned. Overall, the food and drink were a bit inconsistent, but it may also very well be the items I ordered. For that, I'm docking it one star, but again it may come down to my taste buds and previous items I've had from other grills. I'd definitely give it a try, again, and keep exploring their menu.

    Happy hour review: 4-6pm M-TH and 4-7pm on Friday…read more Bar Ella has a really good happy hour menu. Their classic cocktails are $6 and their creative cocktails are $7. They also have some small bites for $6. I tried the Kentucky Kat which was really tasty. I also tried the potatoes and slider. I really enjoyed both, the slider comes with bacon and blue cheese. The service was quick and friendly and the bar is a nice spot to sit for a bit. I'll be back, I want to try the Mr. Tom Kha cocktail next!

    Perfect detail--that actually makes it sound way better. Here's the updated version, still natural:…read more Tried bar Ella in PB and it was actually really cute. We got a hoagie with fries, chips with dip (topped with caviar), and espresso martinis. The hoagie was fresh and filling, bread was soft, and everything tasted really balanced. Fries were crispy, and the dip with the caviar on top was honestly so good... a little extra but worth it. Drinks were strong and well made. The espresso martini was smooth and not too sweet, which I liked. Service was good, everyone was friendly and checked in without being annoying. The ambiance is probably my favorite part though. It's super clean, modern, and a little elevated but still relaxed. It feels like a nicer PB spot without being too much, like you can dress up a little or just come casual and still fit in. Overall just a really solid spot for drinks and light food. I'd definitely go back.
