Waterbar - A Beachside Oasis


Alternative Strategies is proud to announce the recent opening of Waterbar, a massive social dining experience that is situated beach-front along the Pacific Beach boardwalk. Waterbar is a joint project between the OMG Hospitality Group (current retained AltStrat client), Joe Vaught of The Verant Group (current retained AltStrat client), and Todd Brown, owner of Bub’s and The Blind Burro. This well-seasoned team of restauranteurs could not pass up on the prime location and seized the opportunity to create something dynamic and unique
with Waterbar.

Waterbar is perched along the bustling ocean boardwalk where Grand Avenue meets the beach, just south of the iconic Crystal Pier. The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide unobstructed views of sea and sky, while the expansive property offers ample opportunity for locals and visitors to gather, eat, sip and socialize. Each seat in the restaurant has been thoughtfully arranged to inspire conversation; even the bar is situated to face other guests and catch a glimpse of the shimmering sea beyond the restaurant’s walls.

Waterbar’s two story, 6700 sq. ft. venue features a spacious dining space and two expansive bars. Flavor-forward craft cocktails present both irresistible favorites and innovative libations; with several varieties of punch bowls on the menu, the social experience intention is present starting with a simple sharing of a cocktail. The line-up also includes a plethora of craft brews and an expertly curated wine list honed by their in-house sommelier. The menu, helmed by Executive Chef Steven Lona, is inspired by East Coast, West Coast and Baja cuisines. Small plates and raw bar options further this social dining feel, encouraging guests to sample the chef’s take on coastal classics.

Whether guests visit Waterbar for brunch, lunch, a sunset-inspired happy hour, dinner or late-night bite, they’re sure to be magnetized by the sensational allure of panoramic views amid vibrant surroundings.

Waterbar’s highly anticipated opening led to multiple press mentions even prior to opening, with highlights including San Diego Magazine, Zagat, Eater San Diego, Pacific Magazine, the San Diego Union-Tribune, and many more.

Waterbar is located at 4325 Ocean Blvd., San Diego, CA 92109. www.waterbarsd.com
