WE'RE HERE!
Welcome to Waterfront Bar & Grill
San Diego's Oldest Tavern
Come visit us in Little Italy, the historic neighborhood in San Diego, and we'll make sure you have a great time.
The Waterfront opened in 1933, the year prohibition was repealed, and we've been having fun ever since. It's always been a place where everyone is welcome — opening at a time when the tuna industry was booming, serving fishermen and other hardworking folks some much-needed relaxation.
Things have changed so much since then, but not much has changed here. Soon The Waterfront will be open for 100 years, with so many amazing memories created in this tiny tavern.
Great food. Many drinks. True friends.
