A fixture of the Garnet Avenue nightlife strip since 1989, 710 Beach Club at 710 Garnet Ave, 92109, is Pacific Beach’s longest-running live music venue and one of its most community-minded businesses. The ownership group helped create several neighborhood organizations including Pacific Beach Citizens Patrol, Discover PB and Pacific Beach Fest, and the venue has partnered with the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station to raise more than $100,000 in recent years while earning recognition as the top fundraising bar for Toys for Tots six years running. Inside, the calendar runs seven nights a week: Tuesday trivia, open mic on Wednesdays, live bands every Saturday, and karaoke on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays—including the popular Rock Out Karaoke with a live backing band. The kitchen serves American bar staples from brunch through late night, with a $10 lunch deal that pairs pizza with a drink. Down at the south end of the boardwalk, Sandbar Sports Grill delivers a similarly lively sports-bar atmosphere with award-winning fish tacos and a bi-level ocean-view layout. More than a dozen flat-screen TVs make 710 a reliable game-watch destination, especially for Chicago teams—the owner hails from Illinois, a detail regulars discover quickly. With 21-and-over entry all day, the crowd skews young and energetic, and the dog-friendly patio overlooking the boardwalk lets guests watch the passing parade headed for Crystal Pier and the surf break. The venue is also available for private event rentals, accommodating everything from birthday parties to corporate mixers. Weekend brunch starts at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and the full bar stays open until 2 a.m. nightly. Visitors staying in PB who want a more laid-back burger-and-beer vibe the following afternoon can walk up Mission Blvd to Bare Back Grill for New Zealand-inspired grass-fed patties and craft pints steps from the sand. Few PB venues match 710’s combination of nightly entertainment, charitable spirit and beachside location.
