SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP
After 10 years, Miller’s Field closes in PB
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2017
HURRICANE HEROES
By DAVE SCHWAB Miller's Field in Pacific Beach, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary in March by revamping its menu, has closed. In place of the quintessential sports bar, which billed itself as “American fare with San Diego beach flair,” will be Breakfast Republic, a fast-growing chain owned by Now, Rise and Shine Restaurant Group, founded by Johan Engman. Pacific Beach will be joining the list of existing Breakfast Republics open in North Park, Liberty Station, Encinitas, East Village, and Ocean Beach. “We don't have a set timeline yet,” said Engman, of his plans for reopening the new eatery on Mission Boulevard. “We will mirror the whimsical Breakfast Republic design with our living wall, egg chairs, merchandise wall and sunglass mirrors in the bathroom, to mention a few things.” Characterizing itself as an “innovative breakfast destination,” Breakfast Republic serves American classics like Oreo pancakes, shrimp and grits and S’mores French toast.
