The Duck Dive

This gastropub in Pacific Beach conveniently-located on Mission Boulevard draws in a ton of walk-in traffic for a good reason. The atmosphere is of a casual beach lounge that offers an elevated drinking experience by offering classic cocktails, craft cocktails and local beer. This isn't typical bar food. Favorites include baked brie, Dive caprese salad, herb-crusted rib eye, barbecued rotisserie style chicken sandwich, tableside s'mores and more. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 3-6 p.m. There's a small dance floor and music which can be loud, at times. The interior is contemporary with nice bathrooms (rare, in Pacific Beach). It's a block away from the beach.
