    Stumbled upon this amazingly cool pub and wish I lived closer to be a regular. Super cool vibes, there's a mini arcade inside but on the medium size because it's literally HUGE. Food menu is dope, we tried to tostado which was basically poke nachos and had a few brews. They had trivia night going on which was really cool to watch & the service was good.

    We hit Harbor Town Pub for breakfast because of good Yelp reviews. The pub only serves breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays. The Pub is colorful and interesting vibe inside. Sport knickknacks and service badges cover every surface. TV monitors played soccer championship games. A large game-room offers pool, electronic games and pinball. Indoor and outdoor seating are available and dogs are welcome. Rock music played in the background. I ordered a Linguica Scramble, which was a mix of tomatoes, cheese, spicy sausage, scallions and cilantro scrambled with eggs and topped with fried tortilla strips. The egg mix was accompanied by a generous portion of delicious crispy hash browns. The sausage was a bit spicy hot. My breakfast was hearty and delicious. My brother had a Breakfast Burrito filled with eggs, French fries, avocado, cheese and bacon. The burrito was hearty and he said it was delicious. Nina, our server, was amazingly upbeat for early morning breakfast. She made an effort to learn my name and introduce herself. She called me by name the duration of my meal. Food came out quickly. The bar is interesting and fun with regulars stopping in for breakfast and an eye opener. There is nearby free street parking. We walked.

    We were partying it up at a wedding and the couple decided to have the after party here. Great choice I thought at first. It was on my list of places to go. We rolled in maybe 50 deep. It was popping on the Saturday night around 10pm when we showed up. It was pretty full. They had famous Sunday night football games on. The back area where the games were was full of energy and bright lights. The only problem we all felt we had was with the staff. We all felt that they were a little rude. Other than that. The drinks were decent. Nothing to write home about. The bathroom wasn't spectacular and someone definitely puked. I'd come back and again. Maybe during the football season.

    Jameson...Friday cheers!

    Harbor Town Pub in Point Loma is one of the places my friend likes to go to because it's casual, offers food/drinks, tv monitors throughout and music blasting so loud you can't have a conversation which is perfect since he's not there to talk. The place is dark, dank but looks clean enough approachable. There's a room with arcade games which attracts adults and children. This pub is also dog friendly. All the female staffers are not friendly and not helpful, despite the fact my friend is a regular..is NOT good service. The polar opposite effect from the male staffers who are friendly helpful and cool. There's limited spaces at the back for free parking. After parking and upon entry from the back door, you order and prepay for your drink and food from the counter before finding a place to sit. The staffers will bring your food and drink, no table service after that if you're in a booth. Service at the bar isn't any better since the one bartender seems to get overwhelmed and service falters :( My friend is a typical swm: single white male who likes beer, whiskey and bar food to his health detriment. He finds this place tolerable and it's one of his hangouts. This pub can be considered a dive to some or just a cool get away pub for others. The menu does have some edible foods: Brussel Sprouts, Fries and Poke nachos all of which I've tried, when I had a minute to seat and stay. My friend has tried nearly everything on the menu but his favorite are the burgers and the fish and chips. Good service is sadly inconsistent but Harbor Town Pub has been here for years and it's a community anchor located close to the harbor. Caveat emptor!

    Delicious!!!

    Did somebody say Happy Hour?!!!!! HTP never fails, and my recent visit was more of the same. The music is always bangin', the food is always delicious, and the crew is supremely awesome. Here you'll find delicious burgers, fresh salads, and beautiful fish (relying on my +1's for that part). Came out for an afternoon lunch that ended up spilling into a beautiful Thursday happy hour, 3pm-6pm, experience. For lunch, I enjoyed a spectacular, juicy, and deftly seasoned burger with chopped bacon, pickled jalapeño, and you guessed it, BLUE CHEESE BABY! This 1/3 lb burger, $15.95, was thick, cooked to perfection (the standard is medium so if you don't like medium just tell them your preference), and served with beautifully crispy fries. I'm more of a 1/2 lb burger man, so I should have added an additional patty for about $5-6, but I still had my fill. But as lunch waned on, happy hour kicked up the excitement with a straight plinko style showcase that included a recurring drumroll and a rotating highlight of a different special every 30 minutes. Let's gooo! This created a vibrant shift away from my delicious, yet dwindling burger. Can you say $3 whiskeys, with a $2 upcharge to make it an Old Fashion? Or how about $3 Pacificos, or $5 Moscow Mules? Each of which were one of the highlighted specials during the 6-30 minute specials during happy hour. Accidentally or otherwise, I indulged in several, whilst making new friends at the bar-Heyyy Grant and Claire! I really enjoy this kind of happy hour experience and they definitely knock it out of the park with this one. Shout out to bartenders BEN and NINA who not only provided 5 star service, but consistently kept the vibes on 10! Did I mention they play good music hear, from older hits to hip-hop classics, I often find myself singing along to hits from yesteryear. I didn't play any games, but they've recently expanded with even more games and seating. If you're into to pinball or those pop-a-shot type basketball games, this might be your go to spot for food, drinks, and fun. Many thanks to the cast and crew at HTP! You guys rock! Note: If you like Waterfront in LIttle Italy or The Hills in La Mesa, you'll be happy to know they're all under the same ownership and share a some similarities. Enjoy!

    Chinese chicken salad
    Rina H.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise! Completely unassuming from the outside but right when you walk in you're welcomed by the fun decor, great energy, plenty of games, and tons of TVs. You order at the window and they bring your food to you. We shared the wings and I got the Chinese chicken salad. Both were good but I would probably try different things next time. The waffle fries looked really good I was eyeing the persons food next to me. Will definitely be back again!

    BBQ pork nachos
    Joyce A. C.

    Came on a Wednesday before noon, which happened to be the opening day of the World Cup. They were showing the Mexico game, and the staff was nice enough to turn on the sound after many of us customers requested it. The FIFA vibes were definitely on. Our drinks were good, and the BBQ pork nachos were so flavorful that we couldn't stop talking about them after we left. The service was excellent that afternoon. We decided to come back later that evening to watch the night match. It was a different crew--still friendly, but less attentive during dinner service. We ordered the nachos again, and they were just as delicious. One downside was that there was no sound for any of the games (the Stanley Cup Final, FIFA, or MLB). Instead, random music was playing throughout the restaurant. They also host Bingo on Thursdays, which was a lot of fun. Would come back during lunch!!

    Garlic Fries and Jalapeño Bacon Burger
    Joey E.

    Gotta admit that the food here always hits the spot each time I come in here. You really can't go wrong with whatever is on their menu as each item is flavorful. I got the Jalapeno Burger and a side of garlic fries, if you're a fan of that you already know what you'e getting yourself into. We also got the Cali Burrito which the meat was highly bomb.com Super cool vibe, friendly staff and food came out in a timely manner. Will for sure be back.

    Jalapeno Bacon Burger and Sweet Potato Fries!!
    Evangelia G.

    This place is fun!!! Firstly, they have a popcorn machine and you can serve yourself popcorn, so I was already very happy. Full bar, and the food is SO good. We were a big group so the pics are just what my friend and I shared. Ahi Tuna Tostada- they give you a good amount of Ahi and it was very good and fresh! Buffalo Cauliflower bites - super tasty! Jalapeño Bacon Burger w sweet potato fries- easily 9/10. A little salty but sooooo tasty and the perfect amount of spice. Will def be going back, and will actually try to place some arcade games lol ALSO they give the ENTIRE bar a round of shots. Big win

    Burger with cheese fries
    Parker J.

    Great food and drinks! As soon as you walk in the energy is great. Everyone's having a great time. Beer is cold. Food is hot. What else do you need

    Beets, Brussels, Bleu cheese salad, absolutely delicious.
    Jeffrey E.

    Picked up food to go tonight and was wonderfully pleased by the filet o awesome sandwich that I got as a lettuce wrap, garlic fries, and beet, Brussels sprouts and blue cheese salad. Everything was really delicious and it was blessedly quiet in there. The lady that helped me was amazingly friendly and positive also as it seems they almost always are these days.. I really appreciate that.

    PACIFIC SHORES @ OCEAN BEACH…read more Parking is available on the street, and it's free! We ended up coming to Pacific Shores because one of my best friend's mom was there with her girlfriends. When we arrived, there was no line at all. Security was really nice, and we got in easily. There weren't many people inside around 10 PM, and I definitely feel like this bar is more of a "grab a drink, sit with your friends, and chat" type of spot. It's not a club or a dancing bar. We ordered a round of shots and a mixed tequila drink. It wasn't strong at all, but it was really delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The server was also super nice, especially since our friend's mom kept ordering drinks and shots. He brought everything out quickly and with great service. I really loved the architecture and ambiance. It had a darker, cozy vibe, very much a small, deep-bar aesthetic. They also had some really cool paintings, and if you were wearing white or yellow, your clothes would glow in the dark, which was a fun touch. It wasn't super busy, and I appreciated how easy it was to find seating and just relax. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, but it was still manageable. Overall, I'd definitely check out this spot if you're walking around Ocean Beach and want a chill place to grab a drink and hang out with friends.
