The Local Pacific Beach

A block from the sand in Pacific Beach, this bar serves as the city's official gathering spot for Buffalo Bills fans and keeps a dog-friendly patio out front. The kitchen mixes pub standards with dishes like Buffalo cauliflower and a Hawaiian loco moco -- a beef patty under a fried egg and gravy -- alongside a rosemary mac and cheese. Happy hour runs discounted wells, drafts and wine on weekday afternoons, and the room is built around screens for game day.
