When the clock strikes 5pm, locals swarm to the many surreal happy hours in Pacific Beach. This beach town is known for the best affordable drink and bite specials in San Diego, starting when the sun sets. 

Bar West is everyone’s favorite beach chic bar located just off the Garnet strip. With one glance inside, you may assume Bar West’s swanky downtown appeal comes with an upscale price point, but that, my friends, is nowhere near the seaside reality. Under new ownership since the original launch, the fresh new Bar West keeps it real and focuses on local demand with bargain happy hours on top of unique specials every night of operation.

Many young professionals love the idea of happy hour, but can’t make it to the bar by 5pm, and end up missing the happiest hours of the day. Bar West understands that locals want happy hour prices during normal party hours, and offers a Late Night Happy Hour Thursday – Sunday from 8 – 10pm. That’s right, L8 is GR8 at Bar West, and the late night menu proves it.
