From SanDiegoVille / May 20, 2024
The tiny biker bar with a big window, San Diego's decades-old Cheswick's West is under new ownership in Ocean Beach and will soon close to rebrand into a different concept.
In 1983, Ocean Beach resident Dean Hall opened Cheswicks West. Over the more than 40 years in business, the dive bar has hosted eclectic blend of patrons ranging from bikers, to surfers, to hippies and musicians, and everyone in between. Last year, a large brawl occurred outside of Cheswick's, resulting in a stabbing and multiple people injured. Reportedly 17 Hells Angeles were indicted connected with the incident.
