Happy Hour of the Week: Thirsty Thursdays at the Pacific Beach Bar & Grill
By Trixie Gonzalez
Fridays usually indicate the weekend for many, but for college students the official weekend begins Thursday. PB Bar & Grill in Pacific Beach holds Thirsty Thursdays every week and invite college students ages 21 and over from all over the county to partake in their weekly drink deals and festivities.
PB Bar & Grill is located about a block away from the beach at 860 Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. It consists of three bars, an outside patio, a dance floor and areas where one can dine or play pool. In addition, they provide various types of music including a juke box inside the dining area and two DJ’s, one spinning on the patio and the other on the dance floor. The bar has an enormous amount of space, which make it easy to meander throughout the different areas.
The bartenders always provide an outstanding performance for their customers by constantly engaging them in conversation while promoting an energetic environment and never lacking a smile. In contrast, security is very strict in order to permit a safe atmosphere for people to enjoy their time without having any concerns. One great factor about PB Bar & Grill is that there is always a diversity of new people to see and meet, the vast majority being very friendly and outgoing, according to Karla Cordero, a Liberal Arts major at CSUSM and a regular PB Bar & Grill customer. She states, “I absolutely love it there, I also like the fact that I always meet new people and it is very affordable for me as a college student. The drinks and the beach are the two main reasons why I am there almost every Thursday.”
The music they play differentiates every time from top 40 artists, to classic rock and old school rap. “The music at PB Bar & Grill keeps me intrigued because they play a wide variety every time I go, which I find remarkable since most places I have gone to play the same tunes over and over again,” said Karla.
In addition to their music, another attracting factor to the bar on Thursdays is that they offer impressive prices on their food and drinks. Specials consists of sushi that starts at $3.95 and, when one buys two or more rolls they get any popular or hand roll free. Not to mention that after 8 p.m. all drinks are half off and shots are $3 off as well. They do have other specials on a daily basis and throughout the week their menu includes 20 types of drafted beers and ciders, along with appetizers, burgers, fries, tacos, ribs, and chicken.
PB Bar & Grill has one of the most outgoing and fun atmospheres in San Diego County. For the third consecutive year The San Diego Union Tribute has voted PB Bar & Grill one of the top places to go for Happy Hour. They provide great service, play a wide variety of music, have affordable drink specials and it’s a great way for students to get out of North county and see a different part of San Diego.
