Hungry for a new breakfast spot by the beach? We were too, until we fell in love with a relatively new kid on the Mission Beach block – Sneak Joint. 

Formerly Liar’s Club, a dim dive bar with just-off-the-beach attitude, this petite spot on Mission Blvd. has completely transformed into an unapologetically hip lifestyle venue home to fine dining, cheap drinks, no dress code, and hot waitresses rocking little more than vibrant bikinis. As soon as you walk into the open-air restaurant and bar, you’ll absorb graffiti art graphics, tagged skateboards, and a custom soundtrack made for the joint by a member of Anberlin. 

Whether you choose the outdoor deck tables, indoor lounge area or bar table top seating, you’re sure to meet new friends from every walk of life. A mirror of lifestyle in Mission Beach, Sneak Joint is now a second home to local surfers and college partiers straight from the beach, young professionals escaping the office for lunch or post-work happy hour, industry locals looking for a late night dining spot offering more than just bar food, and even the three young owners who keep an intimate hand on all elements of operation, ensuring customer service exceeds expectation. 

While there is much to love about Sneak Joint, let’s focus on the food. Just in time for summer Sneak Joint brings a new breakfast menu to the beach. If you’re looking for a new seaside breakfast or brunch spot, complete with all the necessary Bloody Mary fixings, let us introduce you to your next obsession.

Here’s a taste of the new breakfast menu…
