Nite Owl Cocktail Lounge is a lounge bar at 2772 Garnet Ave, 92109, and it has been a fixture of Pacific Beach nightlife for decades. The San Diego Reader once described the interior as having no clocks and no windows, creating a timeless atmosphere where it could be midnight at any hour. Well drinks start around $4.50 during the early afternoon, and cheap beer specials draw a laid-back crowd of regulars who settle in at the twin pool tables or feed quarters into the three pinball machines. Darts, bar games, and a well-stocked jukebox round out the entertainment, and outside food from nearby takeout spots is welcome. The bar's Facebook page describes itself as a remodeled dive bar with awesome bartenders, and its 94 out of 100 county health score backs up the post-renovation condition. Cocktail enthusiasts bouncing between Garnet Avenue bars often pair a visit here with a round at The Grass Skirt for tiki-style drinks just a few blocks west. Nite Owl opens at 2 p.m. every day and stays open until 2 a.m., with Sunday hours starting at 10 a.m., making it one of the few PB bars that caters to both the afternoon-drink crowd and the late-night set. Dogs are welcome inside and outside, and free parking is available in the adjacent lot and along the street. The locals-first energy continues down the avenue at Tavern at the Beach, another long-standing PB gathering spot.
