The Shack Bar & Grill at 6941 La Jolla Blvd in the Windansea area, 92037, has been a neighborhood constant since 1995 — 14 TVs, two pool tables, a fire pit patio, and a kitchen that takes bar food more seriously than most. The Shack Burger and BBQ bacon burger are built to order; the beer-battered fish and chips and shrimp tacos cover the coastal bases. Wings come in buffalo, bourbon, and garlic. Happy hour runs 3–7pm daily and the kitchen stays open until 2am. It's the right call after a long day at Windansea.
