Official Gaslamp Bar Tour Hits San Diego Every Saturday

The first official Gaslamp Bar Tour in San Diego now takes place every single Saturday night, starting at 8pm - offering a long night of multiple bars and clubs, free sangria, and free shots, for only $20 per person.

Each month seems to bring a new community tour to celebrate the multitude of Gaslamp restaurants. From Taste of Gaslamp in early June to San Diego Restaurant Week in late June, hungry locals are in every way inundated by the dining scene this summer, and we're in no way complaining about that.

But, what about the locals who prefer to drink their dinner and nightly pass up fine dining for rowdy happy hour and late night dancing at Gaslamp bars and clubs? Leave it up to a guy named Beer to listen to the slurs of these beloved partiers and, with partner Marshall, launch the first official Gaslamp Bar Tour. In extreme nightlife style, this bar tour will out-do the restaurant tours of yesteryear, and provide the perfect opportunity for Gaslamp nightlife debauchery every single weekend.

While trekking across Europe, Daniel Beer and Derek Marshall couldn't help but be inspired by the bar tours readily available throughout Germany, Italy, Spain, and England. Indulging in every city tour in the name of research, Beer and Marshall decided to bring the popular European tour trend to their own hometown of San Diego. Just in time for a summer of beer-less beaches, these thirsty, jet-setting entrepreneurs are enhancing the San Diego nightlife game.

The San Diego Gaslamp Bar Tour now takes place every single Saturday night, starting at 8pm - offering a long night full of multiple bars and clubs, free sangria, and free shots for only $20 per person.

A fun crowd of San Diego partiers, both locals and tourists, will meet each Saturday at Bare Back Bar and Grill at 8pm to take full advantage of free booze from 8 to 9pm. While the stereotypically late hung-over attendees trickle in until 9pm, the on-time dedicated boozers will sip up a hosted bar and taste Aussie-style eats at Bare Back, mentally and physically preparing for a long night of Gaslamp bar and club hopping - an Insider routine of shots and stretches.

But, don't expect name tags or an official power point map presentation of your nightly agenda. The Gaslamp Bar Tour is an organized, guided tour - but there is no babysitting involved, and these rowdy local guides are determined to keep all guests surprised and excited for what's coming next. Gaslamp Bar Tour has partnered with all the top bars and clubs in Gaslamp to make sure each Saturday's tour serves up the perfect mixture of San Diego nightlife. From The Fleetwood to La Puerta and Basic Urban Bar, the tour will hit all the top Gaslamp spots, as well as the East Village, to keep tour-ists in a constant state of blissfully drunken surprise.

Following the full hour of hosted booze, each of the four San Diego bars and clubs will treat each Gaslamp Bar Tour guest to a free shot upon entry. Yes, that's right - all you can drink for an hour and four shots at the best San Diego venues for only $20 per person. If you've ever partied at Stingaree or Hard Rock and waited in line for twenty minutes to pay almost $20 for one weak drink, you're sure to salivate at this ridiculously good deal.

Says Derek Marshall, "There was a real void downtown for those seeking to have a crazy night without the production of having to go to a major club, stand in line, or order expensive bottle service. The official Gaslamp Bar tour fills that need beautifully."

It's 2008 in San Diego, with a nightlife scene full of more new bars and clubs than one A+ partier can keep track of. We say, it's about damn time for an official Gaslamp Bar Tour. Channel your Euro-style party mindset and join Beer and Marshall this, and every, Saturday for a no-fuss tour of the best of San Diego nightlife.

Mr. Beer shares, "The energy that has been building around this event is extremely exciting. It's about time San Diego joined the world's elite nightlife cities with an event like this one."

The San Diego restaurant scene is starting to get a little selfish - from the Taste of Gaslamp to San Diego Restaurant Week, not to mention all the community tasting events and restaurant walks. Thanks to a guy named Beer, and esteemed partner Marshall, we no longer have to be ashamed that we'd rather hop from bar to bar and shot to shot than sit through a fine dining experience.

The basics: No guest list, no drama. $20 gets you multiple bars and clubs, free sangria, free shots, and too-many internationally diverse friends. Every Saturday night starts at the new downtown San Diego Bare Back Bar and Grill at 8pm sharp. But, feel free to be late if you don't want free alcohol for an hour - more for us.
