Balboa is a classic neighbourhood gathering hub for both locals and visitors, alike. The original bar is a beacon and the interior décor remain relatively untouched, retaining the magic of times gone by. The menu offers both signature favorites like its famed Balboa Burger, and its Wednesday special, Chicken Paillard, along with seasonal dishes that delight.
