    Amplified is one of my favorite places in PB. They have great food, good tunes, and great brews on draft. I love their rice bowl and parmesan zucchini bites. Their doner fries are also delicious. It’s laid back and dog friendly. If your looking for a solid venue to hangout and enjoy the weather amplified is a go to!

    What a wonderful restaurant on the coast! The staff is very kind and helpful with what too order and suggestions on what beers mix great together! Parking wasn't bad, but I am sure it changes throughout the day. Live music on Friday's and Saturday's starting at 8:00pm. The price is also great compared to lesser restaurants that charge more. Definitely coming back again especially when there is such a giant selection of craft beer!

    Excellent, we ordered french fries and Mezze platter. The food was delicious. They have outdoor seating which is very nice. This is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in California.

    Stayed in Mission Beach for a vacation and this was our favorite place to grab a beer and food. The service was great! The server/bartender remembered us from a coupe days prior and was super accommodating. The atmosphere was laid back with great music playing. Would definitely recommend.

    The food here is not as consistently good as it used to be, but it's usually pretty reasonable. The service, however, is 50/50. Some of the people working here are wonderful, but a few are really, really rude. Also on five different occasions I was seated and they forgot about me for over 35 minutes. Not at a busy time, at slow times. One time I waited for almost 1 hour before I got frustrated and left.

    Has an upstairs outdoor seating with a view of the water. Dogs were allowed. Food was good, with good portions. People we were with got a cheeseburger and they said it was good. I got the beef tacos. Three was a lot of food. The beef was okay not much “flavor.” Ingredients were fresh. Fantastic beer selection.

    An enjoyable pet friendly & kid friendly restaurant. The wait staff was great and the food was very good. Their phish (fish tacos) were exceptional and the burger was above average. Great rooftop location. Will happily go back in the future for lunch or dinner.

    GREAT PRE GAME SPOT- went here before a padres game. Low key cool spot. Great drinks- did not have food, but everything look great on the table next to us.

    Very cool spot in Pacific Beach. Nice rooftop atmosphere a great beer selection. We had the zucchini, lamb doner fries and doner bowl. Food was solid! Had to take much of it home in a box!

    Amplified Ale Works is conveniently located near where we’re staying for the weekend. I’m grateful for that because it’s a restaurant experience I could have missed otherwise. I ordered the salmon and chicken skewer dinner. The entree was served with salad, rice and a side. I selected the fried Parmesan zucchini. I did good with that selection and so did they! The skewers were grilled to perfection. The outside was nicely charcoaled and the chicken and salmon were cooked fully and tender with a wonderful marinade. Amplified knows how to work a grill! The salad dressing added a flavorful touch without being overpowering. The apple pieces were a refreshing touch. Our server, Alfredo, was pleasantly attentive, professional and had a delightful sense of humor. For each of these reasons, I will be back. Possibly for breakfast. 😉

    They have döner!!! If you know what döner is, that's enough to encourage you to visit. If you don't know what döner is, go learn. Also. Beer. They have beer. But seriously...döner...😁

    Absolutely loved this place. Nice rooftop patio with great drinks and food. Everything’s super affordable for being this close to the water.

    It took forever to order food. So I was being polite because my girlfriend keep getting on me. So after an hour of waiting we order. The food looks delicious. So we begin to eat. Shortly after I'm almost done eating all the pita bread. I began to find mold on the remaining pita bread. I checked the other plates we ordered and saw more mold. I told them all they said was sorry.

    It's second floor, outdoor restaurant and you can see the view of the ocean! The food is delicious and the customer service is amazing! Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Tasha L. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're outside you can get a little view of the ocean. The drinks & food are reasonably priced. But they dont have a full bar its only wine or beer selections. The food was AMAZING! definitely try the doner fries. You wont be disappointed.
