Burgers, breakfast, beer & dive bar charm since 1933
"This San Diego spot blends dive bar charm with a sunny outdoor parklet and has been a favorite among locals and visitors since 1933. Known as one of the city’s best breakfast bars, this all-day hangout serves cold beers, classic cocktails, and an extensive selection of shots to go along with its food menu." - Kelly Bone
"One of San Diego’s oldest watering holes serves a burger that’ll complement any beer on the menu. Their signature waterfront burger is a one-third-pound burger with two slices of American cheese on a fresh baked bun but it’s the pile of grilled onions that adds the punch of flavor." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang
"San Diego’s oldest tavern keeps its kitchen running until 1 a.m. daily; the burgers are the best-sellers but there’s also sandwiches, burritos, tacos, and salads." - Candice Woo
"One of San Diego’s oldest watering holes serves a burger that’ll supplement any beer on the menu locals burger aficionados come to for. It’s a generous third pound burger with two slices of American cheese on a seeded bun but it’s the pile of grilled onions that adds the punch of flavor." - Darlene Horn, Candice Woo
"Long one of San Diego’s oldest and most hallowed watering holes, The Waterfront Bar & Grill remains a family-run institution: cousins Chad Cline and Jason “Rocky” Nichols, whose family has operated the Waterfront since the 1970s, now own it and have committed to preserving local dive-bar culture. Having facilitated the sale, observers praised the cousins as ideal stewards who want to keep landmark venues thriving for generations rather than let them become stories of the past due to expiring leases or development." - Candice Woo
