Virgil Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Heading there for a contest I won through work with one of my boys. We have free time at night and want to get into some trouble. Anyone from there that has ideas?
Phlegm Alley Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Gaslight district in downtown San Diego is always a good time. I couldn't speak of specific bars there, but generally speaking, there are a lot of fun establishments in that area, including a dueling piano bar that is always a good time. Another option would be to head to Mission Beach, which is about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown and features a number of beach themed bars, restaurants and lounges. Quality talent there as well. It is difficult to not have a good time.
Helpmenow Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Lived out there for six yrs. you won't wanna leave. Were trying to get back there. My wife's family all from buffalo live out there.
mrags Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 IMO, (and I'm sure ill get flamed for this by many) don't bother going to the Zoo. I thought it was horrible. The lion habitat is worse than the Buffalo Zoos. The Bear habitats are about the same. The Tiger habitat is kinda nice but very limited and hard to see. The Hippo habitat was really cool but that's about all I remember being anything better than even the Buffalo Zoo. Again, in sure ill get flamed but I can tell you that next time ill be taking my ass to sea world.
Virgil Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 The zoo has never appealed to me. A bunch of people also going are thrilled about it though. I have a new baby and have been cooped up for a while now. So this really is meant to be a sleep, drink, have good time and unload kind of trip for me
Fan in San Diego Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Go to the Embarcadaro downtown, tall sailing ships, submarines, the Midway. Old town if you like early California history. San Diego was the birthplace of California. Wine tasting in the Ramona area. Wild Animal Park, Sea World, La Jolla is gorgeous and great restaurants. Tijuana if you want to experience Mexico. Tell me what you like and I can give you some suggestions.
Virgil Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 I hear different things about tijuana in regards to safety. What's your thoughts on heading there and is it worth it?

It is difficult to not have a good time. East Village Tavern and Bowl is good. It was the host to the Bills Saturday night tailgate in 2011. Decent food and drinks. Tons of TV's to keep up sports and of ALL THINGS...a bowling alley!
Mike In Illinois Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Check out Balboa Stadium inside Balboa Park if you want some AFL history. It's where the Chargers used to play from '61-'66. Three AFL Championship games were played there, including the '65 game the Bills won via shutout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balboa_Stadium
Helpmenow Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I wouldn't go there. I was there once. Didn't go too far in TJ.
