Our History

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Since 1979, businesses in North PB have come and gone, but West End has endured and thrived on the corner of Turquoise and La Jolla Boulevard. Always a great place to meet up with friends, meet new people, and satisfy your thirst. West End serves young and old, pool players, dart throwers, surfers, and bullshitters.

In the 90’s, one half of the notorious duo that founded the legendary Mac Meda Destruction Company, Jack “Mac” MacPherson, served as a West End bartender, and author Tom Wolfe captured the absurd pranks of Mac and Robert (Meda) Rakestraw in his book The Pump House Gang. West End was also spotlighted in Fry Koskenin’s book Bar Pool: Matters of Shrewd Gamesmanship.

what you'll find

A laid-back local pub — nothing fancy, everything you need for a night out or an afternoon game.

Every game, every screen

TVs all around the bar for whatever's on — NFL Sundays, college ball, fight nights and the rest of the sports calendar.

Pool tables in back

Rack 'em up with your crew. House tables, house rules, loser buys the next round.

Dart machines

Cricket and 501, quarters in the machine, bragging rights on the line.
