Brewing has been continuous at 721 Grand Ave, 92109, since the mid-1990s, when the address first operated as Terrific Pacific Brewery & Grill before becoming Taylor’s Restaurant & Brewery. Pacific Beach AleHouse took over in 2009 under the OMG Hospitality Group banner and has since become one of the most recognized brewpubs on the San Diego coast, anchored by award-winning head brewer Dan Enjem and Executive Chef Eric Sarkisian. Enjem runs an English-style combi brewing system with in-house grain milling, producing six staple beers—including the Crystal Pier Pale Ale and Sunset Red—plus rotating seasonal taps visible through the glass-walled brewery off the main dining room. After a fire forced a temporary closure in 2015, the restaurant reopened stronger than before and later upgraded to a new seven-barrel Premier Stainless system. Guests arriving early on Garnet Avenue looking for pre-dinner live music can start the evening a few blocks west at 710 Beach Club, where bands and karaoke run seven nights a week. Sarkisian’s farm-to-table menu at the AleHouse features flatbreads, pimento burgers with jalapeño jelly, beer-battered fish and chips and fresh locally sourced salads that rotate with the seasons. The two-story layout is the real draw: the ground floor packs in 18 large flat screens for game day, while the Sky Deck rooftop lounge delivers unobstructed views of Crystal Pier, the surf break and the Pacific horizon from behind a lava-rock fire pit. Private event spaces range from the 25-seat Brewer’s Table to full Sky Deck buyouts for up to 100 guests, complete with AV systems for corporate presentations. Happy hour runs daily from 2–5 p.m. with $5 house drafts, $10 flatbreads and half-price bottles of wine, and the late-night kitchen stays open until 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. Locals who prefer a more intimate pub atmosphere after a Sky Deck session often continue the night at The Local Pacific Beach nearby on Garnet. With a 4.4-star Google rating across more than 3,000 reviews and three decades of brewing history embedded in its walls, PB AleHouse is as much a Pacific Beach landmark as the pier it overlooks.
