About O'Brien's Pub
O’Briens in Clairemont is quietly one of the best, if not the best, beer bars in San Diego. In addition to the much-hyped Russian River beers, they serve hand picked drafts from the best local breweries in San Diego, as well as lesser known breweries in greater SoCal and beyond. This place knows their beer and you can trust that they’ve made good choices in their draft list. They serve a full menu of food too.
Best Parts
- Try new breweries that only beer nerds know about
- High quality and low key
- Friendly and knowledgeable service
