The Office

Sticky floor no more for the once self-proclaimed (and this is one venue that has certainly earned it), “premiere dive bar extraordinaire,” because, like many bars and clubs as of late in San Diego, Scolari’s Office has experienced one serious renovation. To investigate the new remodel, I must admit that I almost drove past the place. From the front door to the bathroom, Scolari’s, to all who have flocked, haunted or visited this memorable relic, is absolutely unrecognizable to the unaccustomed eye. Keeping with the “office” theme of things, the new Scolari’s is cleverly disguised along 30th Street by a single door, labeled “office.” It’s the kind of entrance you would only find at schools, corporate and government buildings, (mail slot actually included). Cozy booths, ornamented by small glowing candles adorn the south wall, and with the black leather bar stools to match.
