The Jewel Box: Downtown's Hidden Gem

Posted On : 2/1/2007 by Athena Davis


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.

 
Anyone who frequents the Jewel Box will tell you it’s one of their favorite bars—but please, don’t tell too many people. The bar is known for being one of the only bars in San Diego to have an actual shuffleboard. Those not shuffle-inclined should be sufficiently entertained with other key items of simplistic bar virtue, including two pool tables and a juke box.

 
Speaking of simplistic virtue, Star Bar features a menu of classic bar food at exceptional prices.  Included are homemade onion rings for a mere $3.95 and a basket of fries for $2.50. More group snacks, especially handy for a game night, include nachos (with or without chili), jalapeño poppers, and the Jewel Box Potato Quesadilla. Of course, there are also burgers—none above $8—and salads. Check out the chalkboard for the soup and special of the day. In the chance you’d also like a drink, make sure to admire the Jewel Box’s 25-plus bottles of tequila. And don’t forget to order a shot for your neighbor.

Jewell Box

Cool place for the locals. Kinda scumbaggish if you are used to the swanky downtown scene.

Sounds Cool

I've been downtown plenty of times but never been to the Jewel Box. Next time I am down there I will check it out, it seems like they have reasonable prices for their meals.
