At 974 Garnet Ave in the 92109, Pacific Lounge is a hookah bar and café that owner Hossein opened on February 18, 2021, bringing a blend of Turkish and Persian hospitality to the Garnet Avenue nightlife strip in Pacific Beach. The hookah is handmade on-site with fresh flavors — the lemon mint blend draws consistent praise — and the food menu includes Turkish baklava baked in-house, cheeseburgers, appetizers, and a dessert selection that multiple reviewers have described in superlative terms. Guests coming from nearby Sandbar Sports Grill down the block will find a markedly different atmosphere here, with comfortable booth seating, traditional Turkish coffee served in a pot alongside Persian tea, and a character that sets this lounge apart from the beer-and-cocktail bars lining the rest of Garnet. Ali F., the business manager listed on the establishment's public profile, maintains a health inspection score of 90 out of 100 and welcomes walk-ins as well as reservations. The lounge stays open late — until midnight on weeknights and 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — which makes it a destination for the after-hours crowd. Pacific Lounge also accepts private event bookings, and the venue can host birthday parties, corporate gatherings, and group celebrations. Beer, wine, and cocktails round out the bar program for guests who want to pair a drink with their hookah session. The outdoor patio sits just a few minutes' walk from the beachfront, and visitors looking for a different late-night experience nearby can check the lineup at The Grass Skirt for tiki-inspired cocktails on Garnet Avenue. The lounge accepts all major credit cards and NFC mobile payments at checkout.
