The "social seafood" construct that forms the foundation for Waterbar's concept would not be possible without a distinct and thoughtful appreciation for every ingredient. With an eye for sustainability, our culinary team leverages unique artisan and local products to create masterful, timeless and trend-setting dishes from scratch, ensuring that only the freshest and most flavorful food is served to every customer.
From traditional Japanese sake to modern cocktails and refreshing non-alcoholic options, there's something for everyone.
Waterbar was born of a deep appreciation for and understanding of the free-spirited creativity, fresh cuisine, and approachable culture unique to California’s southern coastline. Located alongside the vibrant ocean-front boardwalk in Pacific Beach, Waterbar offers only the best in tantalizing menus, innovative libations, panoramic views, and lively entertainment. Our “social seafood” menu is inspired by East coast, West coast, and Baja cuisines, and transforms the freshest flavors through our chef’s unique renditions of coastal classics. Flavor-forward craft cocktails, local microbrews, national brand favorites, and a diverse wine list are offered across comfortable bar seating, community-table dining, and intimate ocean-side tables. Waterbar’s thriving, energetic environment captures the passion of San Diego’s iconic coastline for an unforgettably satisfying experience.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, hosting a corporate event, or just gathering with friends, our restaurant is the perfect setting.

Thus place has by far the best view in PB. The food is spot on. I had the hangover burger, Um yes, for that reason. It was so delicious that I nearly ate the entire thing. It's not wimpy. The smashed hashbrown and the hint of sweet with the bacon and the egg topper, so good. The fries(I'm a French fry girl) we're snappin and hot. Went on a Sunday and had all my football games on, kicked back with the ocean breeze breezing and enjoyed a delicious bloody Mary. Highly recommend.
Being from Mississippi, the ocean view brought a familiar sense of calm—though thankfully without the humidity. The atmosphere was perfect for catching up with friends, relaxed yet refined. Drinks were well-crafted—you could actually taste the liquor, which is always appreciated. The sunset views were truly stunning, and the food exceeded expectations: flavorful, generously portioned, and served impressively fast. A memorable evening all around.
Great looking restaurant with a killer view of the ocean. A huge selection of liquor on display. We enjoyed our meal and left happy and full. The pricing is pretty reasonable. We tried the Lobster Roll, Clam Chowder, Double Smash Burger, and Fish & Chips. Everything was delish. A great place to enjoy overall. We parked in their lot directly behind the restaurant. They offer 2,hours of free parking.
I had an amazing meal here! The ceviche starter was fresh and zesty, a perfect way to start. The fish tacos and salmon sushi roll were deliciously innovative, blending flavors beautifully. As a bonus, we received a free dessert, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic dining experience. Trendy ambiance, great service, and delectable food make this spot a must-visit!
