About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for brunch
We opened our doors in August 2014 with a vision of greatness: great drinks, food, and atmosphere, with a chill, unassuming vibe. A come-as-you-are locale, where everyone — from local to the traveler — is welcomed. Insider or outsider, there’s a seat at the bar just for you.

Located just blocks from the Oceanside Pier, join us in our industrial-chic lounge with two large garage doors which make you feel like you're dining outside, or on our heated and dog-friendly patio, from lunch to late night. Be sure to check our daily happy hours, midweek lunch specials and weekend brunch. Come see us. Pull up a seat and make yourself at home.

    We love Mission Bar & Grill! We especially loved it when there were more Asian inspired dishes offered (hint hint:). That said, our meals were fine this time but not outstanding. I write this more for Mission to take into consideration but still highly recommend the restaurant to everyone!! Especially if you like whiskey as it is known for its variety of offerings. As to the food......the Brussel sprouts were light and lovely with our favorite sweet & spicy ginger glaze and cooked perfectly (not piled high with extra sweet and fattening additions). The salmon sliders were a bit overpowered by the sauce (and we like spicy, so it's not that it was too spicy) so there was little detectible salmon flavor, nor could we discern the fried capers (which were the selling point for us!).....but the crunchy cucumber was a great addition! The fried chicken salad was fresh and beautiful and the chicken was delicious with a perfect amount of crunch, but there wasn't a lot of flavor in the honey mustard dressing. I think some type of piquant avocado/citrus/cilantro/(jalapeño?) dressing might be a better match with the rest of the ingredients. Drinks were great as always. Entertainment was excellent......you can never go wrong with Dulaney & Co!! Sound level was perfect for the band, though I heard the night before (featuring a different band) that it was SO loud that people couldn't hear themselves think, let alone talk. We have witnessed that as well in the past so I was really happy to see they kept the sound at a reasonable decibel level for Dulany & Co. I would definitely check the entertainment schedule before you go if you plan to carry on any meaningful conversations. :-) Anyway, as I said, we love Mission Bar & Grill and we will be back!! Thank you for another great evening with friends!

    Food tasted previously frozen and not so great. Like you can taste the seed oils now and later. Good service and drinks.

    One of our favorite “go to” places. Our server was by herself and she commanded the room. It was busy and she killed it.!

    Fantastic food! I always go by the reviews and did not disappoint! One in our party described the chicken sandwich as “the best he’s ever eaten and I’ve eaten a lot of them!”

    Thank you, Katherine! We’re thrilled to hear our chicken sandwich earned such high praise—“the best he’s ever eaten” made our day! We appreciate you trusting the reviews and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon.

    We came for brunch. The enchiladas were truly some of the best I’ve ever had. Great enchiladas with red sauce, and exceptional beans and rice on the side. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

    Joan, thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad the enchiladas hit the mark and that you enjoyed the red sauce, beans, and rice. We truly appreciate the recommendation and look forward to seeing you again for brunch!

    Got there right before they opened for brunch. The hostess walked down the sidewalk and let us know they were ready and to come inside. Very friendly of her! Sat down and the service was awesome from start to finish! Food was delicious and served hot for our party of four. A great place to go anytime!
