"We want to fill the place up with the idea that we're beer-forward, as well as wine loving," Escobedo told Eater. We serve a wide variety of entrees including house favorites like our Ossobuco, flavorful steaks, and unbeatable seafood. Our bountiful menu also offers juicy burgers, fresh salads, and tasty sandwiches. We encourage you to try our Prime Burger which is served with melted American Cheese, shaved Prime Rib, sautéed mushrooms and onions, onion tanglers, and topped with a garlic-lime crema. Everyone dreams of opening a neighborhood joint in their neighborhood, and three Balboa Park guys have gone and done just that.

The trail takes travelers on an immersive exploration of the plant.

Miles Escobedo, Daniel Silberman, and Eric Almazan opened Ocean Ale House this week, a Balboa Park neighborhood hang for beer and wine with American food and live music. The guys have 10 years of experience in the restaurant world, with Escobedo working the wine side and getting a cicerone certification, and Silberman and Almazan handling the kitchen side. The other sushi destination on Ocean Ave is no less than a karaoke sushi bar, which also boasts locations on both Ocean Ave and Clement Street. But Sakesan isn’t just a party scene for students, it has legit good sushi and yaki. In addition to a long list of rolls, handrolls, and sashimi, there are grilled dishes off the robata and comforting bowls of udon, available either for dining in or taking out. Somewhere between the pharmacy and hardware store, Cherry Blossom Bakery is a cute shop with locations both on Ocean Avenue and Clement Street for double the bun street cred.

Because Balboa Park is still an up-and-coming area, the owners were able to find a reasonable rent and finance the entire operation without outside investors, which translates over to the prices. Wines range from $6 to $13 a glass, beers start around $5 and top out around $12 for a "super high-end barrel-aged almanac," and food starts at $4 for appetizers and up to $16 for full plates. Decor centers around a large ocean mural on one wall, plus posters, book, art, beer and wine paraphernalia scattered throughout.

Ingleside's New Ocean Ale House Strives For Quality, Community - Hoodline

Ingleside's New Ocean Ale House Strives For Quality, Community.

Enter your email address to stay in touch about our beer, wine, food, and events. We are known for our large portions, great prices, warm service, and shareable appetizers, including our famous buttermilk-drenched, hand-breaded boneless chicken Zingers® and Zingers Mountain Melt®. We offer 15 flavorful sauces that can be tossed in any variation of your choosing. The expansion has required engaging a number of city agencies, taking lots of time.

The case is filled with an array of Hong Kong–style pork buns, pineapple buns, egg tarts, strawberry cake, and even milk tea. Of course, it’s cash-only, but you can walk out with a pink bakery box filled with treats for a reasonable price. Ocean Ale House is your neighborhood spot for phenomenal beers, wine, cocktails and outrageous locally-sourced American pub food. Aside from removing the wall, other improvements include a second accessible bathroom, a larger stage for live music and events and a backyard patio. Zanze left a cheesecake-sized hole in everyone’s heart when its storefront shuttered on Ocean Avenue, but it’s far from the only bakery on this side of town. Ambrosia has kept the ovens warm since 1988, and it’s where locals head for a breakfast croissant or birthday cake.

Escobedo said they were fortunate to qualify for the Covid-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan in 2020 to help with the expansion but due to the long process, they had to dip into those funds to stay afloat. A historic drive-in institution, Beep’s Burgers opened in 1962, and the name is a space-age throwback — think Sputnik (beep beep boop). The retro neon sign still glows through the fog on Ocean Avenue, but a new owner took over in 2014 to give the menu a refresh.

Okay, so you’ve crossed Junipero Serra and rolled down to the main drag of Ocean Ave. Here, there are two dueling sushi spots, but you don’t have to choose one to try — they’re both good. Those who prefer Kaisen Don are into big chirashi bowl action, with sliced fish arrayed over rice and dolloped with roe. Taking it from the top, meaning that short strip of Ocean Avenue between 19th and Junipero Serra, Lucho’s serves big Yucatecan and Cali flavors.

We’re not talking flashy fine dining, but low-key neighborhood favorites frequented by hungry families and students from neighboring City College. From drive-in burgers to karaoke sushi, boxes of buns to sweet cakes, here’s where the locals hit the brakes for good eats on Ocean Ave. Ocean Ale House is a friendly neighborhood pub opened by a trio of local guys in 2016. There are bar-friendly smash burgers and fried chicken sandwiches, but also a mushroom Reuben featuring local funghi and rye, and craft beer selected by a certified cicerone (beer somm). Enjoy the fresh avenue air in the blue parklet out front and check out the calendar for live music and trivia nights. The guys created a menu of bar classics like a burger, fresh French fries, and a reuben, while drinks have both a local and global focus with 12 beer taps, eight wines by the glass and 20 wine bottles.

The Truong family has that not-too-sweet sensibility and specializes in Princess Cake decked in marzipan and Fantasia Cake layered with airy fruit and cream. We pride ourselves on being the #1 neighborhood Sport’s Bar in the Ocean Township area with a lively atmosphere and 60+ TVs. We offer ample dining including our open-air patios, beckoning bars, and spacious booths and tables. Pakwan is arguably San Francisco’s favorite mini-chain for affordable Pakistani and Indian eats, and some say the Ocean Avenue location is the best in the city (but let’s not upset the Mission).

“We’re excited to finish up this project and we’re excited for people to stick with us for the future,” Escobedo said. The patio won’t be the only outdoor seating, as they intend to keep their parklet even though they must remove it for a time while construction is underway. One of the neighborhood’s important anchor storefronts may soon be occupied by a medical clinic known to the community.

Open daily for lunch and dinner; we offer over 35 beers on tap, a large selection of signature cocktails, and the best all-day everyday happy hour specials for all your sports bar needs. The first task required dismantling the ocean and prohibition-themed mural that covered an entire wall. While it couldn’t be saved, they do plan to hire the same muralist, Ingleside resident Eli Lippert, to create another one. In the meantime, a temporary wall has been installed so the business can operate while work is performed on the other side. Shabu House has multiple locations around the city, but its Ocean Avenue spot is a particularly quiet and cozy destination for the comforts of Japanese shabu-shabu.

It’s a satisfying breakfast and brunch spot, starring hefty breakfast burritos, saucy chilaquiles, succulent cochinita pibil, and bunuelos dusted with cinnamon sugar and dunked in chocolate. Rock & Blues performed by Heartwell Mandella (vocals), Greg Smith (bass), Mark Gallegos (guitar/vocals), and Ray Wilcox (guitar/vocals/percussion).
