The new venue will celebrate its debut with a three-day grand opening event running Friday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7 at Mission Bay Golf Course in Pacific Beach. To kick off the festivities, Harland is offering all draft beers and hot dogs for just $5 throughout the weekend, along with live music from local surf-rock favorites The Surf Birdz on Friday from 4 to 7pm.
Located inside the brand-new clubhouse facility at Mission Bay Golf Course, the project represents another major step in Harland Brewing's transformation from a craft brewery into a diversified hospitality brand. While Harland built its reputation on award-winning beer, the company has increasingly expanded into food, events, and destination-driven gathering spaces, including its recently opened full-service restaurant in 4S Ranch and other hospitality-focused concepts throughout San Diego County.
The Mission Bay project gives Harland a particularly distinctive backdrop. The brewery is taking over operations of a newly constructed 2,000-square-foot restaurant and taproom overlooking the city's only night-lit golf course. The venue features a golf-course-facing patio designed to accommodate dining, live music, family-friendly events, and community gatherings.
Under a recently approved 10-year lease agreement with the City of San Diego, Harland will operate all food and beverage service at the clubhouse while the city continues managing the golf course, driving range, and practice facilities. The lease is expected to generate significant new revenue for the city's Golf Enterprise Fund while adding an entirely new social destination to one of San Diego's most historic municipal golf facilities.
Founded in 2018 by Jeff Hansson and Anthony Levas, Harland has grown from a single brewery into one of San Diego's most recognizable craft beer brands. The company currently operates locations in South Park, Bay Park, Scripps Ranch, 4S Ranch, and now Mission Bay.
The Mission Bay location reflects a broader shift occurring across the craft beer industry, where breweries increasingly rely on food, events, and hospitality experiences to complement beer sales. Harland executives have described the Mission Bay project as an opportunity to create a community gathering place that appeals not only to golfers but also to local residents, families, sports teams, and visitors looking for a casual waterfront-adjacent dining experience.
Mission Bay Golf Course itself occupies a unique place in San Diego history. Operated by the city's Parks and Recreation Department, the 18-hole executive course spans 46 acres and remains the only golf facility in San Diego County offering nighttime play. The course is also known as the site where Tiger Woods captured a Junior World title during his youth.
The clubhouse is expected to serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, beer, wine, and cocktails, with menu items ranging from breakfast burritos and sandwiches to Harland favorites such as smash burgers and elevated casual fare developed under the direction of culinary leader Scott Cannon. For Harland, the opening represents another significant milestone as the brewery continues evolving beyond traditional tasting rooms into full-scale hospitality destinations.
Harland Clubhouse officially opens June 5 at Mission Bay Golf Course & Practice Center, located at 2702 N. Mission Bay Drive in San Diego's Pacific Beach. For more information, visit harlandbeer.com.
