When you walk in to The Field in the Gaslamp, you may ask yourself two questions: Why am I about to get drunk in a bar that looks exactly like the Pinocchio themed fast food restaurant at Disneyland, and why am I legitimately afraid that when I am drunk here I am going to get bit in the leg by a Leprechaun named Sully...

As a resident of Eastlake, I am one of the 600,000+ San Diego County residents evacuated due to the San Diego Firestorm 2007. I was one of the lucky ones, however, who could seek solace in my home away from home - the Blarney Stone Pub in Clairemont. . .

Steak, Spuds and Suds features free line dancing lessons, a pool tournament upstairs, and drink specials all night. If you have never been before, you probably think that Incahoots is for people who like wearing wranglers, chewing tobacco, and dancing to the latest Toby Keith record while catching Little E's last lap at Daytona. . .

Jewel Box is one of Downtown’s best dive bars. But that doesn’t mean trendsetters and pretty people frequent this hidden hot spot. Expect, instead, a steady crew of barflies, chummy service, and an eclectic mix of all-age customers who appreciate a good dive when they see one. . .

To call Star Bar ornamental would only begin to describe the atmosphere of this brightly lit dive bar, located in the heart of the Gaslamp, amidst some of Downtown’s fanciest bars. Star Bar is gaudy and unashamed: anyone with similar qualities is immediately welcome inside. . .

Lucy’s Tavern, located in the relaxed Point Loma neighborhood of Ocean Beach, is definitely a dive and definitely a drinker’s bar, yet it can’t shake that cool OB vibe. Rarely packed to the gills, this place does get regularly busy—usually with just the right amount of customers. Maybe it’s the closeness of the beach. . .

Despite its name, this Little Italy pub, complete with a cozy corner fireplace, does not actually cater to San Diego royalty. In lieu of technicolor lights and expensive cocktails, the wood and brick Princess Pub & Grill brings good ol’ British fare to life. . .

Considered a class-A dive, the Silver Fox Lounge in Pacific Beach lacks the unsavory clientèle and back alley entrances that characterize true dive bars. What the Fox does have are good, cheap drinks, a bundle of TV’s, pool tables, video games, an electronic dartboard, and a pinball machine. . .

This hot new Hillcrest joint has lots in common with its ancestor, Hamburger Mary’s. Kick-ass Margaritas in brilliant shades of blue, juicy burgers, and fabulous vibes have been passed down from Mary to Mo, making Urban Mo’s Bar and Grill a welcome—and not too drastic—change. . .

Compared to other similar beach dives, Beachcomber is difficult to get to. Located at the south end of Mission Beach’s main drag Mission Boulevard, there’s never any parking, and it’s a long walk on tired feet back to Pacific Beach, where there is. Yet Beachcomber pulls in the college-age crowd nightly with enthralling force and consistency. . . .

Who doesn’t enjoy a quality flick once in a while? Flicks loves film, and guys love Flicks. Although not Hillcrest’s largest gay club bar by far, it’s inarguably one of the most popular. Now going on twenty-five years, Flicks’ recently remodeled colorful space overflows with great-looking men from the afternoon onward. . . .
