About

A Philly-themed neighborhood sports pub planted at 5019 Cass St in North Pacific Beach (92109), Latitude 32 Pub House & Grill has been pouring pints and slinging cheesesteaks for locals who prefer their bars without the Garnet Avenue crowds. The interior makes no secret of its East Coast loyalties: Eagles, 76ers, and Phillies memorabilia cover the walls, and game days bring out a devoted crew of Philadelphia transplants who have claimed this corner of San Diego as their own. The cheesesteak is the star of the menu, built in the authentic Philly tradition with options to add cheese whiz, pizza-style toppings, or chicken, and regulars consistently rank it among the best in San Diego. The kitchen, which previously operated under the Alex's Brown Bag banner before transitioning to Latitude's own in-house operation, also turns out burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, loaded tater tots, and a spicy buffalo chicken tots appetizer that has developed its own following. Bartenders Kristin, Alissa, and Willy rotate through the week, and trivia nights hosted by Andy run on select Thursdays. The pub earned a 99 out of 100 health inspection score from the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health. Happy hour pricing on drafts and cocktails applies daily, and the beer selection runs about ten taps deep with a mix of local craft and national brands. Sports fans who want to make a night of it can head to Sandbar Sports Grill closer to the boardwalk for a different atmosphere. Outdoor seating with heaters extends the evening for groups who want fresh air without giving up their view of the TVs, and the heated patio makes Latitude 32 a year-round option. Pool tables and darts round out the entertainment, and the free street parking on Cass Street is considerably easier to find than anything near the main Garnet strip. The overall vibe draws comparisons to a neighborhood Cheers, and first-timers regularly note how quickly the staff makes them feel like regulars at Coaster Saloon down the road.
