Where To Experience San Diego’s Nightlife

San Diego doesn’t go to sleep once the sun goes down. Far from it! In fact, San Diego’s nightlife sizzles. Here are a few of our top picks for the best ways to enjoy San Diego after dark.

Gaslamp Quarter
Arguably the best place to party in San Diego, the Gaslamp Quarter features comedy clubs, dance clubs, breweries and rooftop bars.

Live Music
San Diego has a fertile music scene, whether you enjoy stadium shows or intimate venues. Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach opened in 1974 and consistently hosts top-notch acts. The Casbah is an iconic San Diego music venue that hosts some of the biggest bands. House of Blues is a sure bet for shows, and they host an amazing Gospel Brunch every Sunday.

Drinks Al Fresco
When you have weather like ours, it seems a shame to drink indoors, even at night! Luckily, San Diego has a number of patio bars worth checking out. Bertrand at Mr. A’s is an iconic choice overlooking the San Diego skyline and bay. The Patio in Pacific Beach has great cocktails and discounts if you bring Fido with you! George’s at the Cove in La Jolla is one of our favorite patios and food and has killer views of the Pacific. Go at sunset and try to catch a glimpse of the Green Flash.
