Tavern At The Beach - San Diego

Moonshine Beach is a lively spot to hang out with friends. It features three areas: an indoor lounge with karaoke, a spacious dance floor, and an outdoor section with TVs and games. Typically, there is a cover charge (it was $10 when I visited), and be prepared for long lines, especially on weekends and late at night. The vibe here leans more towards country compared to other bars in the area. As for the dance floor, I'm not entirely sure the cover was worth it since I usually prefer to dance at these venues. It felt a bit too crowded for my liking; there seemed to be no limit on capacity, and I was constantly being jostled around, almost like being at a hard rock concert. The music played is similar to what you'd hear at other clubs. At around 1 a.m., they switch to trap and dubstep remixes of popular songs, and the energy really picks up. I actually enjoyed myself more in the less crowded areas where I had room to move. Overall, I would give it a five for the great atmosphere.

This bar is amazing. The atmosphere is fun, the bartenders are kind, the security keeps everyone safe, and the shot chairs are the best. My friends and I come here often and we always have such a good memorable night filled with dancing (affordable) drinks, and new memories.

There’s plenty of room for various bar activities like cornhole, karaoke, line dancing, and live music. However, be aware that there’s a cover charge to enter, even at 7 PM on a Saturday. If you’re seeking a country vibe in Pacific Beach, this place comes highly recommended. I deducted a star for the $5 cover charge so early in the evening.

Top 5 Coolest SD venues to go and perform at!! I haven't been to Nashville yet, but I feel like I have now. Moonshine Beach in Pacific Beach was incredible. Every inch of the place made me feel more country. Let's start with the games. Outside is a big open patio with 2 bars and tables to eat or drink at. They have the biggest and best selection of FREE games to play I've ever witnessed. My band and I played them all!!! Of course I won most of them They have cornhole, ping pong, giant connect four, foosball, and more. Inside they have a few paid games too, which we also had a blast with. They even have a mechanical Bull!!!! Next up the FOOD!! Ya, they nailed it here. Just look at the pics. I got the vegetarian option of course which was the fried and smoked Portobello mushroom burger stuffed with mozzarella DAYUM!! , the guys got a variety of brisket french fry nachos, pulled pork sandwhich, and roast beef sub. Everyone was more than pleased with their meal! There was alot of other tempting options on the menu like jalapeno poppers, salads, flatbread pizzas and more. I'm big on customer service, especially when I perform at a venue. The security team was similar to an NFL defensive line, so don't come here looking for trouble. They guys were all cool tho with no ego or power trippin. The bartenders were on it! Fast and accurate service, with a smile. I have a girlfriend so I didn't notice if they were attractive or not... you'll just have to see for yourself. The sound and lighting team/stage crew were top notch! Which brings me to the venue as a whole for live music. This place was AWESOME to play at. The stage was huge, and they had a riser on the stage for the drummer me . The light show was epic, and they even had a nice Yamaha house kit which is always a treat. This means I didn't have to haul my gear . Behind us was a huge screen with our bands name in light's, and of course they sealed the deal with fog! The dancefloor fits a couple hundred people, and sits underneath a skull and disco ball. There is a bar in the stage room and plenty of seating to watch the show from too. The green room was better than most with its own bathroom and couches for pre/after show prep. This is the backstage area for bands . The vibe of Moonshine was great. It is a legit country bar that is expanding its horizens to being a bit more versitle. I will definatly be going back, and will also happily play the venue again. The last thing I always like to address is parking. Not too shabby! I found several spots right away. Most are 2 hour spots until 6pm, so thats good for evenings. There are lots as well, and neighborhood spots a block over. If you are going to drink, please take an uber or lyft, or bike. There are plenty in this area

Best Beach club in Pacific Beach SD. It may get to crowded on Saturdays but the experience is worth it. You can get free entry before 9 pm and later there is a fee of $10
