PB Ale House By Seth Watje

The PB AleHouse has quickly become one of the most popular bars/restaurants in Pacific Beach.  Complete with their own micro-brewery, eclectic food menu, rooftop ocean-view deck with it’s own private bar, numerous flat-screen TV’s  and a fantastic staff is what makes this one of the most well-rounded bars in town.  Happy Hour is Monday thru Friday from 3 to 7pm with $3 Drink Specials and half-priced Appetizers and a new late-night happy hour featuring $3 U-Call-Its from 10pm to 2am.
