10 years ago one man had a dream. A dream to open the best and most successful bar and restaurant in Pacific Beach. 10 years later that man, instead, owns Bub’s Dive Bar.

At 1030 Garnet Ave, it is located in the heart of Pacific Beach’s thriving business/entertainment district. Just 3 blocks from the beach and 10 minutes from California Interstate 5.

The backbone to Bub’s longevity is its addictive menu of “non-bar like” food. Besides singlehandedly bringing back Tator-Tots to the educated world, Bub’s has created a menu that you would not normally expect to find in a little watering hole in your home town. Sauces made from scratch. All fresh ingredients. And a staff who takes pride in the product they serve and the service they provide.

Don’t believe me? Check us out. Don’t want to check us out? Fine… Just don’t complain when you eat crappy food somewhere else.

Bub's is Your Spot for the Steelers and Virginia Tech Games!

A message from Todd...

Always what I think of, Bill Cowher screaming it with spit flying… O.K. so maybe
most people that know me are right and football IS too important in my life? Here’s
what I know, as we head into our 14th season of STEELER FOOTBALL at BUB’s:

Where I’m from, all my family on my father’s side is from North Hills area of
Pittsburgh, you don’t become a Steelers fan, you are slapped on the ass and given a
black and gold blankie.

I love San Diego, been here longer than anywhere else in my life, going on 22
years. BUB’s is first and foremost a San Diego joint and proud to be part of this
city! That being said for cavemen like me there are some things that are just a
part of you…period. I couldn’t switch teams no matter where I live, it just doesn’t
work that way. If you want to see a decent collection of people who share the same
affliction, “Yins just come on aat fa da game”.

Before I opened Bub’s I used to head down the street to watch the Steelers’ game
on Sunday and hope I could get the sound on a TV or two. Didn’t happen that much
but we still had a good group show up each week. When this place became available
I knew whatever I did, or whatever it was gonna be called, this was gonna be a
Pittsburgh Steelers Bar!!

As most people know, we don’t reserve tables for money. At BUB’s it’s about getting
here early and getting your spot. Everybody get’s the same shot. Last year we
started handing out tickets and we gave away a jersey each week right before kick-
off. Takes the sting outta getting up early. Everybody seemed to like it so we’re
gonna do it again this year.

Most of my family back in PA has not been here but they have all seen BUB’s 

on the
local news (KDKA) back in Pittsburgh! It’s been a few years since the Steelers have
come to town but when they do, as always, we will be ready to host! Most people
who come out and have read about us on the web expect the place to be painted in
black and gold paint. That’s not what makes BUB’s THE place to watch the Steelers
in San Diego...

It’s the people who come here and have been coming here for many seasons to
spend their Sundays trying to make BUB’s a little slice of the stadium! With this
privilege comes responsibility, like making sure Jack has his earplugs in before the
game starts!! We’ve seen three Super Bowls since we opened and two Super Bowl
WINS! If you’ve seen this crowd you know we can’t wait to see another…
