Our Story
The Local Pacific Beach
The Local brand was born over a decade ago with the opening of The Local in downtown San Diego. With a limited budget, owner Mina Desiderio printed some “Drink Local” t-shirts to spread the word … and spread it did. With a passion for great food, a commitment to the growing local craft beer movement and a dedicated family of staff members, Mina partnered with Brendan Huffman to make The Local’s dream of moving to the beach community come to fruition.
Our menu blends some Local favorites, pub-style grub, and coastal inspirations resulting in a delicious variety of flavors. The cocktails utilize fresh, hand-pressed juices and the beer selection highlights our adoration for the craft beer movement greatly influenced by America’s Finest City. To enrich the experience we will be showcasing local acoustic talent with regular performances and, of course, all of the biggest local, regional, national and international sporting events on a spread of high definition screens.
After a decade of support from our Local friends and family, we are excited for the opportunity to reciprocate the love and loyalty. Our staff is inspired by the core values, which have remained true since the moment The Local’s doors opened downtown. We seek to create an experience that removes barriers and creates a connection between people, one that nurtures the body, heart, and soul. So come in for a drink, stay for two, and be a part of the “today” that everyone talks about tomorrow.

What began as a humble idea to provide great BBQ catering to the San Diego area has grown into a cult favorite with a loyal following. Sure, you can get BBQ elsewhere, but most of y'all have never had what GOB is going to serve you. We're serving up some honest to God, delicious, wood-smoked, handcrafted, artisan BBQ. Smoked on a real BBQ Pit hand crafted from an up cycled propane tank in the great state of Georgia.

Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill
More than words – it’s a way of life.
We grew up in and on the water. Surfing, diving, boating & fishing the beaches and blue water of San Diego and Baja California. We still do.
Fresh local seafood has always been a part of the experience. Fish tacos on the docks in Ensenada, where they were invented. Ahi sashimi in the galley on the boat ride home, sliced from that morning’s tuna catch. White Sea Bass pulled from the Baja surf and grilled on the spot over a mesquite campfire.
