Imperial Beach Bars & Grills
The Crystal Cove
"We are the best because we have a great relaxed atmosphere. Cheap drinks...lots of fun! Newly remodeled! It's the cleanest bar in town! Great music and the best people! We have live bands most Saturdays."-Crystal
The Crystal Cove is favorite bar among my friends and I. I have been to this bar on many occasion. I was even here as a grooms men for a wedding reception.
I have seen the live music from Rockabilly (R.I.P Carson) to Hip Hop DJ's. The Crystal Cove is one bar you should make it a point to visit!
Ye Ol Plank Inn
This is not an Inn, it's a Bar, sometimes serving food. A typical, friendly, neighborhood bar. It is the oldest (1886-1888) surviving building in IB, and the oldest (1969) drinking establishment in Imperial Beach and it offers the largest outside patio in IB. It is also one of the friendliest places you'll find!
Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays they offer food, breakfast, lunch and it seems they're sending out feelers about dinner. Every other Thursday is Steak and Lobster night and the prices are reasonable. Operating Hours: 6 am until 2 am! Come as you are! Everyone is welcomed equally. If having a meal is not on your mind, at least stop for a drink from their full service bar and feel like a local. You can buy a souvenir shirt, jacket or hat with the Ye Olde Plank Inn logo or one of those Jimmy Buffet type hats with the shark if you want to remember your visit!
