About

A neighborhood pub on the eastern edge of Ocean Beach, The Reunion Pub took over the former Max's bar at 2205 Mendocino Boulevard and reopened after a remodel under new ownership. Set off Newport Avenue in a residential block, The Reunion draws an OB regular crowd that overlaps with Wonderland Ocean Pub at the foot of Voltaire near the sand — together filling the neighborhood-pub category at opposite ends of OB. Two pool tables and nine flat screens cover the bar's NFL, college football, and MLB game-watching, with no cover charge and dog-friendly seating throughout. Karaoke fills the Thursday lineup, with live local acoustic acts taking the stage on Saturday nights. The Mendocino Boulevard location east of Newport puts The Reunion in OB's secondary-bar tier alongside Northside Tavern, both pulling residents from neighborhoods set back from the main commercial drag. Saturday-night live local music programming anchors the weekend rhythm, drawing a regulars crowd that treats the back booths like an extended living room.
