We were traveling from Texas and an old navy officer recommended. Amazing place to eat. Truly a gem and they have fantastic burgers (1/2 pound) and great wings. Marissa was wonderful and the place has a cool vibe! We loved everything except for the limited parking.

I believe this is La Jolla's only dive bar but it's an awesome fun spot, seen surfers/tennis players/bikers here and everything in between. Bartenders are kind and quick to make you drinks. The lady got a whiskey sour and I got a beer, both …

Love The Shack! Always try to stop in here when I make my way to La Jolla. Favorite spot to go after hanging out or catching the sunset at the beach. Chill vibes, pool tables, and yummy drinks and food. Everyone is so friendly!
