My personal watering hole, this place is my favorite during the day. Great selection of beer, perfect place to watch any game, and the staff is awesome. Their flatbreads are also addicting.

If you want to do a little wine tasting, but don't feel like making the drive to Temecula, this is a great compromise. The staff is great, the wines are delicious, and the pours are generous.

As far as breweries go, this is an absolute favorite of mine. The modern design of the brewery itself is really cool and their beers are very unique.

The restaurant here is excellent, but the upstairs bar is also really fun. Creative takes on traditional cocktails, and the bar is on the roof, so there's no ceiling because you're in San Diego.

This is a really fun bar if you're looking for a drink with a view, it's more of the nightlife scene during the weekends, but the bar overlooks the baseball stadium and downtown.

If you've never been to a bar that has lamp shades glued to the entire ceiling then this will be a first for you. Amazing beer, fun environment, and conveniently located near many other breweries.

Ballast Point is a staple as far as San Diego craft beers go. I love visiting earlier in the day on a weekend. The food is also good and the rest of the neighborhood is worth exploring.

The atmosphere is great here during the day, but it can get a little crammed at night. The food isn't the best, but the burgers are spot on, and so are their waffle fries.

This place has every beer that's ever been made. I don't know how they do it, but the selection is overwhelming. Most of the beers are bottled, but they have a decent selection on tap.

Mexican food on the beach, that's what Las Olas is all about. Quite possibly the best and biggest quesadilla you'll ever have and really good fish tacos. This spot is as laid back as they come.

There's a reason why there is typically a line out the door at this place, and that's because their donuts are addicting. Of course they're bad for you, but who cares, they are a North County staple.
