Coolest Surf Shack Bar with Live Music!
My experience at this bar on Quivira Way was absolutely fantastic! The spot has a really cool vibe, giving off major chill surf shack vibes. The music was upbeat, and I was impressed that they offer live music five days a week.
The bartender was also super rad. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 and will definitely be back, bringing all my friends!

Cool Beach Vibe with Live Music
My experience at this restaurant was great! It has a really cool vibe, very reminiscent of a San Diego beach, with a unique blend of Grateful Dead and Stan Getz. The bar menu is simple, nothing too fancy, but I'd recommend trying the Mahi Mahi tacos.
There's a large outdoor seating area that faces the jetty towards OB. They also have live music every night, which adds to the great atmosphere.

Great Spot with Live Music!
This is a great little place off the beaten path. The food menu had a nice selection, and I particularly enjoyed the indoor/outdoor venue. Parking is plentiful on the street, but avoid the gated area as it's too expensive.
The staff was very nice and helpful. The live band was rockin' – 3 Door Garage! I'll definitely be back for sure!

Good atmosphere despite menu issues
My experience at the restaurant involved a cover charge for live music. Unfortunately, they were out of steak and shrimp due to a menu revamp, which meant many items were unavailable. Despite these limitations, the atmosphere was still good, and I had a pleasant time.

Great Live Music and Tacos by the Water
Aquarius is a great place to hang out and listen to live music and grab yourself some tacos and some fresh air right on the water. While it doesn't have water views from the restaurant itself, it's located by the marina village docks. There's a low cover charge for the music, with both outdoor seating and indoor performers.
The atmosphere and service were rated 4 out of 4, and the food also received a 4. Parking is a free lot with plenty of space, and reservations are not required. The price per person is estimated at $10–20.

Fantastic Music, Food, and Atmosphere!
My experience at Aquarius Bar and Grille was fantastic! I went on my birthday with friends and we had a great time. The music was great, creating a fun atmosphere that was very laid back.
We enjoyed two bands for only $10: the excellent Electric Waste Band and the talented touring band Fat Paw. We danced all night and had great tasty food and drinks. I will definitely be returning with more gratitude!
🎵🎶🥳🙌 Thank you Aquarius Bar and Grille.

Tuna Sandwiches Great, To-Go Service Frustrating
We absolutely love the tuna fish sandwiches here. Our experience lately, however, has been frustrating when trying to get them to go. They will not answer the phone or allow us to simply pick up food, insisting we pay a cover charge.
This is ridiculous, especially since the band hasn't even started and there are no crowds. They need to figure out a way to accommodate paying customers who want to get food to go.

Great Vibe, Terrible Chips!
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The vibe was great, complemented by live music and strong cocktails. The Aloha burrito was a standout, packed with tons of fish.
However, the tortilla chips were a major disappointment, described as criminal and unacceptable for San Diego. I urge the establishment to step up their game regarding the chips. 🙄

Great Vibes and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The vibes were great, and the service was excellent. It truly felt like a beach house or Tiki bar.
This was my last stop before heading to the airport after visiting family near San Diego. As an Aquarius, I found this place on the humble and took it as a sign. 🖤 The "EST.
420💚" was very clever. 😏
