Rooted in San Diego. Raised on Good Times.
Where It All BeganOur flagship concept opened its doors in Point Loma in 1969. Known affectionately as “The Brig,” it quickly became a local staple for fresh seafood, hearty surf and turf, and warm hospitality. Decades later, with 8 locations and countless celebrations under our belt, The Brig remains the heart of our family—rooted in tradition, yet always ready to raise a glass to what’s next.
A Taste For LifeIn 1982, inspired by the vibrant flavors of Baja, we opened Miguel’s Cocina. With recipes passed down from friends and family, hand-pressed tortillas, and a signature creamy jalapeño white sauce that regulars lovingly call “white gold,” Miguel’s brings authentic Mexican cuisine with a Cali twist. Five locations strong and always full of color, Miguel’s is a joyful celebration of food, culture, and community.
Continuing Our Family BusinessAnchored in Point Loma, Ketch Grill and Taps is your go-to for laid-back dining with seriously good flavor. From beer-battered fish and chips to stacked burgers and seasonal specials, our menu is fresh, local, and perfectly paired with a pint of house-brewed Ketch beer. Whether you're fueling up post-fishing trip or winding down with friends, Ketch Grill & Taps brings the easygoing energy of San Diego straight to your plate.
Born From Obsession & Driven By Pure Enjoyment Ketch Brewing started with a simple idea: make beer that tastes as good as the moment you’re in. Led by award-winning head brewer Dr. Sam Billheimer—whose background spans oceanography, Alaska fishing boats, and San Diego brew halls—our beer is where science meets soul. Each batch is brewed in-house with an obsessive focus on style, balance, and drinkability.
A Match Made PortsideCrafted for early risers, mid-day snackers, and post-dinner strollers, Portside Coffee & Gelato serves up the freshest, most flavorful coffee and gelato in town. We use only the finest ingredients and locally roasted beans from Cafe Moto to create our one-of-a-kind drinks and desserts. Whether you’re looking for a light snack or a sweet treat, we have something for everyone. We offer a wide variety of flavors to satisfy all of your cravings.
Dock-And-DineDockside is built on the core philosophy of that everyone should feel like a part of the family from the second they walk in the door until long after they’ve left. When you’re on the move, Dockside is the perfect spot for fast, casual counter service that you can quickly enjoy or take to-go. We combine quality and convenience to bring you locally-sourced, fresh seafood no matter where your day takes you.
Rooftop Terrace With Fire Pits and Waterfront ViewsPerched above Portside Pier, Topsail offers a refined-yet-relaxed rooftop experience with panoramic views, cozy fire pits, and a curated menu of seafood-forward small plates and elevated cocktails. Whether you're catching the sunset, gathering with friends, or just soaking in the skyline, Topsail delivers an unforgettable atmosphere that turns any hour into golden hour.
Best Waterfront Dining in Downtown San DiegoPortside Pier is San Diego’s premier over-the-water dining destination, home to four distinct restaurants—Brigantine Seafood & Oyster Bar, Miguel’s Cocina, TopSail, Dockside, and Portside Coffee & Gelato. Whether you’re craving tacos, seafood, craft beer, or a sweet treat, Portside Pier serves it all with stunning bay views and a come-as-you-are atmosphere that captures the spirit of the city. It’s the perfect place to dock, dine, and unwind.
Seafood, Done RightBuilt on a shared love for seafood and San Diego’s working waterfront, The Fish Market has earned a reputation for doing things the right way—fresh, responsibly sourced, and simply prepared to let the ingredients shine. Whether you're ordering grilled swordfish or ahi poke, you’ll taste the care in every bite.
