A packed Pacific Beach beachfront pub was damaged by a two-alarm fire Monday afternoon.
The fire apparently started in the kitchen at the popular Pacific Beach AleHouse on Grand Avenue near Mission Boulevard at 3:13 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
The two-story building's numerous patrons and employees were evacuated, and the blaze was knocked down. A large plume of black smoke was visible from Ocean Beach to La Jolla.
No injuries were reported, a fire dispatcher said.
