Pecs Bar

Great bar but the only let down is customer service if that bothers you at all. A very busy bar with passive aggressive service including a bit of proudness if that’s your cup of tea . The bar could achieve 5 stars but the staff and toilets let down this place for more potential. The washroom is shared with a urinal and toilet in the same room, again if that’s your cup of tea then this might be a place for you to hog. Being a visitor to San Diego this bar seems very well established with locals so it very difficult to mingle with the locals. The drink's from the taps don’t taste too good more likely that there is a maintenance issue with pipe cleaning. The soft drinks tastes unusual including the beer. I was offered an alternative to red bull and that tasted off. I went to order a third drink Big Wave and that also did not taste the same as the one I had at the Pizza Shop in the main gay village. The venue has a pool table and tv screens . Soft drinks 3 out of 10 Largers 4 out of 10 Customer service 3 out of 10 Location 3 out of 10 Washroom Facilities 2 out of 10

"Recently, I had a rather unpleasant experience at Pecs Bar that left me feeling completely unsafe and my life put in danger. I understand that occasional disagreements can happen in any social setting, but the recent fight that broke out at this bar was extremely disturbing. The incident occurred on Sunday during my visit to the establishment. What started as a minor argument escalated quickly into a full-blown physical altercation, involving multiple individuals, including myself being attacked. The lack of intervention from the bar staff was concerning, as it seemed they were either unaware or indifferent to the situation unfolding before their eyes. This led to a prolonged and chaotic scene that left many patrons, including myself, feeling genuinely frightened for our safety. After speaking with security, it was brought to my attention that this same group has caused fights before at this particular bar. Knowing this information from security, I felt even more unsafe knowing they allowed this group to return. As someone who enjoys socializing and unwinding at bars in my hometown, it is essential for me to feel secure and protected in such environments. Unfortunately, this recent experience has shattered any trust I had in the establishment's ability to maintain a safe and welcoming atmosphere. In light of my unsettling encounter, I regretfully will not be returning to Pecs Bar and will be navigating certain legal avenues to make sure this never happens again.

I just arrived to San Diego, 2 days ago. I was pleasantly invited to Pec's neighborhood bar and happily decided to go. Upon arrival with the sweetest 14 year old registered service animal, was met with hate and hostility regarding said dog. I was confused and dumbfounded by Tom the Bar Manager's behavior. My very good friend walked away as I stood in amazement. I approach this Mr Tom bar manager and asked politely to step aside privately to question his motive and behavior reasons. He immediately to a personal stance saying it was my friend and not the dog,when clearly he came at the dog. Normally I would never take the time to write and post something of this nature, clearly this man has hate inside him in a place it does not belong. Coming from the background I do these morals or lack there of are not acceptable. I would never recommend going to a place that advertises one thing and is another, a shame looked like it could have been great. I will tell everyone my experience. SAD. Topher Bell

My favorite bar in all of San Diego. Strong drinks, patio, good music and the best people! So happy I found this place. I’ve met so many great people here! The best Sunday funday hangout!

Transphobic and unwelcoming. Tiny crowd every day of the week besides Sunday. Majority of the staff is rude, unwelcoming, and unkind. Multiple negative experiences here. I live nearby so I have given them multiple opportunities to change my perception of this place. Unfortunately each time I have attended I have been met with similar bad experiences. Drinks used to be reasonable (cheap even) but after Covid they charge the same price as places that actually attract clientele. If you are visiting San Diego please don't bother to visit unless it is a Sunday. Staff has openly used transphobic language towards my friends. Have also used misogynistic language towards me personally. I do not recommend this place at all.

I enjoy this place more than others. The staff is very laid back and friendly and very easy to get a drink with minimal wait time. The music is good the conversations are good in their back patio is awesome.

Hypocritical owner. I tried going here first time in San Diego. Was told only gays allowed? I have lived in Austin never experienced this type of behavior especially from an owner. First off how do you know I’m not supportive of this community…also how do you know I’m not bisexual? and to deny me judging me on what I look like? I guess go here only if you are a male.

Wonderful local gay bar with friendly staff and great service!
