If you're looking for a pack of sports nuts, fans or groupies huddled around the bar, worshiping the almighty television while hooting and hollering because of that last successful play (or bad call) the San Diego Sports Club is probably the last place you'll find it. Not to say that crazy sports people aren't welcome, but the type of "fan" that composes this "club" falls outside that athletic arena...

The Lamplighter, proclaimed by some as the "number one dive bar" in the North Park area, a difficult title to wrestle for, considering the nature of bars in this locale, is the ultimate watering hole in the neighborhood and gives patrons, whether residents or not, a reason to flock to this joint seven days a week...

I was personally introduced to 3rd Corner in Ocean Beach by a girlfriend who frequents this quiet little beach town and was taken on a tour of the unassuming wine cellar by yet another friend. Like a chain letter, I think one must be invited by a pal to explore this place. Otherwise, driving by, one would just assume the 3rd Corner is just another mysteriously placed shop in the lieu of quirky dives and bizarre boutiques that typically define OB...

These are the areas of San Diego that either lie on the border of two districts or really have no definitive name, and if they do, the locals will be the only ones to inform you on the proper nomenclature. This is certainly not a bad thing, because you could, perhaps, find yourself in a place like The Waterfront, located west of the hustle and bustle of Little Italy...

One part Ocean Beach and one part Irish pub is the concoction that is Gallagher's Pub and Grill, tucked away on Newport Avenue. Gallagher's is typical of most Irish pubs in San Diego with their scantily clad waitresses, grumpy bartenders, dark lighting, and Irish proverbs, often in the form of Guinness ads; however, Gallagher's has also incorporated all the elements that are essentially Ocean Beach...

High heels, long lines and collared shirts are just a few requirements when attempting a night out in the Gaslamp Quarter. Although that is often part of the fun, some of us just want to be able to cruise around Fifth Avenue without worrying about the dress code. Henry's Pub, restaurant by day, dance party by night, takes some of the pressure off attire. To put it simply, Henry's is the Jack and Coke of downtown...
