Cardiff Beach Bar @ Tower 13

They have great vibes! Across street from the beach, we sat on the patio with our pup.
Food is tasty, we ordered:
-coconut shrimp (it was good but only 5 pieces for $15, not worth it I wouldn’t recommend it)
- Philly cheesecake sandwich (amazing! It’s a must)
- tower salad with beef (very yummy salad, good portion, steak was a lil dried & over cooked I would recommend to add the same steak from Philly sandwich)
-brownie dessert (soooooo good)

Really can't go wrong with any of the tacos. Plenty of flavors for everyone's palate. Decent cocktail list and an even better draft beer selection. I recommend sitting out in the back patio area eating tacos watching the sunset. A definite must if you're in the area.

What am amazing happy hour!! Bartender (nice girl with dreads,) was incredible.. Thank you for such a great experience! Pork sliders were so yummy!
Staying at San Elijo campground, after the harrowing storm last night, this was such a ray of sunshine 🌞

We come here to watch our favorite sporting events. Always have a fun yummy time. Only problem is there isn't enough parking for the packed house. That was ok for us since we are walkers anyway. But highly recommend

This is the best place I’ve ever been at. All categories. Absolutely perfect.

The waiter did his job, and he did it good. If I had more money I would ask him to be my personal waiter at every restaurant I go to. Don’t remember his name, but I bet it was beautiful...

The atmosphere inside the restaurant had everything I could ever ask for. Good chill music, not to loud. Nice booth’s. TV:s with cool surfing and some other sports. Not too crowded.

The Royal Burger. It was perfection. The fries as well. Haven’t tased anything comparable to them. I’ll put up a picture of it all so you can see what I am talking about...........

And in case you haven’t figured yet: YES, i would recommend this place to a friend.

Service was a little slow at first, but the food turned out great, and the servers were on top of it with drinks. Dog friendly and close to the beach 😊 Live music as well 👍

Great local place with friendly and efficient staff.. Went twice while in town for a week! Fish and chips very well done, especially if you like Garlic fries.

This was my first time coming to this restaurant. Emily was our server and she was amazing. We also had the pleasure of meeting Darryl, I have never met such an awesome, loving soul. If you get the chance to come here, ask for Emily and Darryl as they made it such a fun experience. Will definitely be coming back here! Food was amazing too!!

Came in Saturday to watch the games with some friends on a recommendation for a good spot to watch some college ball. Our server Julia recommended the chicken tenders and said they are made fresh in house. They did not disappoint. Everything came out very quickly even on a busy Saturday. Our drinks were never empty and we appreciated the beer recommendations. We will definitely be returning. I think we found our new favorite spot for college game day.

One of my favorite places by the beach. Excellent food! What is probably the most important these days is that we can be outside with our two dogs and practicing social distancing! I don't feel comfortable in most of the outdoor places, because their tables are way too close.
Here I feel as safe as possible can be done. Thank you!

We had a lovely gathering for our annual ElliptiGO event (approx 50 people) at Tower 13 in Cardiff. The communication with Doug, Alex & Sydney was proactive & attentive. They set us up in the private back room; the perfect spot for us all to find each other, mingle & visit. I'm not sure how they managed it, but our service was exceptional and executed flawlessly! Our gathering started during happy hour (which many of us took advantage of the specials) and continued into dinner. We've been holding our annual ElliptiGO weekend for over a decade, but the place we used to meet up at went out of business and referred us to Doug at Tower 13. I'm sorry to hear any local business not making it, but I am so grateful for their referral. Tower 13 was the perfect spot for our group and we will look forward to continuing to gather here for years to come!! For a small, local business they really have their act together and do lots of fun themed events, feature some local music & are also a great place to watch sports. I'd absolutely recommend stopping in to check them out! Thank you to Doug, Alex & Sydney for our awesome event!

Went with Michigan fans to watch a championship game. 7+ TVs showing it. Nice selection of food, beer and cocktails. Servers busting their a**es to keep the food and drinks flowing. The taco combo was nice, and the Blue Agave drink was perfect for the occasion.

Ashley our amazing waitress was so informative! Friendly and helpful with the menu! The food , drinks and service was superior!

Great enviroment and even better food. Their Veggie Burger was on point. Amazing customer service. #dont forget your mask

Was a great place to sit in for a meal and enjoy some good food, and have a decent selection of beer.

What a cool hangout spot right by the ocean. If you go to Cardiff Beach stop in and have a bite and a pint. Food was good and portions were plentiful. Good mix of local craft beers too. We went in 2020 so only outside seating was available, but it was so nice by the beach, that just made it better. Just don't park in their lot if you are going to the beach.

Tower 13 was a great spot to grab lunch by the beach with an ocean front view! The food was delicious and service was friendly and on top of everything. Highly recommend!

Really cool spot right on the beach with surprisingly great food! However, the iced coffee with tequila in it was not very good...

This was the best Beach Bar that I've to in a long time. Wish I lived closer to this good old fashioned neighbor hood Bar. Service was excellent. Had a Mexican Mai Tai along with a BLT even had avocado. Delicious! Brittney was the waitress and simply put she's a 10 when bv it comes to service with a smile. Next time I head south to Cardiff I will be stopping in again. Really great sports bar also.

Great place. Great food. Great Happy Hour. One of our go to's when camping at San Elijo State Beach. Very welcoming, comfortable place. Easy to walk to. Gorgeous area!!
