Mavericks Beach Club

Located just steps from the Pacific Ocean, Mavericks Beach Club is a complete reboot/transformation of the former Pacific Beach Bar & Grill and Tremors nightclub.

Once the go-to haunt for Pacific Beach locals, the property had fallen into disrepair and had 175 citations for code violations for non-compliant and non-permitted work.

The goal of the project was to breathe new life into the property and create flexible and unique venues that would allow for a multitude of social experiences and interaction, taking full advantage of the Southern California climate. The 15,000-square-foot complex consists of three primary buildings that house five indoor/outdoor bars and envelop a split-level dining and recreational courtyard. The three independent structures all open to the courtyard allowing patrons to meander from bar to bar and space to space. Inspired by California’s largest surf break, the facility incorporates a coastal-California contemporary décor and a variety of seating and gathering options.

While the transformation is significant and the development is large in scale, great care was taken to ensure a cozy, neighborhood-approachable scale, paying homage to the small wood-framed cottage that spawned the original tavern.
