The Duck Dive

A short walk from the sand in Pacific Beach, The Duck Dive has served the neighborhood since 2012 under a handcrafted, wave-shaped ceiling and surf-inspired art. The kitchen fries its namesake potatoes in duck fat and rounds out a gastropub menu with beer-battered cod and chips, a prime rib dip and a miso-glazed salmon, while the bar keeps more than 20 beers on draft alongside cocktails built with local produce. Bottomless mimosas run daily at brunch, with a happy hour Monday through Friday in the afternoon.
