What's New in San Diego Nightlife

There’s never a dull moment in the ever-evolving San Diego nightlife scene.

From the opening of new bars with tons of street cred (and insane Bloody Mary's) to hot fire pits and sexy interiors, the down-low on what new club is taking over the prime old Aubergine space, and a sneak peek at 2010 New Year’s Eve, discover what’s new in San Diego nightlife. 

NEW: The newest addition to University Heights, Small Bar, is a Bohemian-style bar and restaurant that gives off a Big City vibe while maintaining Man’s Man insight. Get details here.

NEW (Again): Moving away from the irony of its former alias, Lucky D’s, the vibrant Bar Ninety is refreshed with a new moniker and new scenester crowd. Get details here.

NEW: The new North Park hot spot, West Coast Tavern, is a laid-back urban tavern that boasts a casual yet elegant social experience. Bonus – the kitchen is open until midnight every night for those who enjoy late night dining. Get details here.

Brrrr it’s getting cold in San Diego!

HOT Interiors: With winter winds moving in, we invite you to ride the elevator back down from rooftop lounges and re-discover San Diego bars and clubs with cool enough interior décor to keep you warm and entertained, no matter the weather. From the goth-glam allure of club Voyeur to Side Bar's risqué draw and the subterranean intrigue of Syrah and Prohibition, step inside these cool venues to stay hot until summer returns. Get details here.

HOT Fire Pits: Just because the winter air is getting cold doesn’t mean your nightlife has to chill. Out of all the décor details at San Diego bars and clubs, fire pits are by far the hottest ticket items on our winter radar. From Float atop Hard Rock Hotel to Ivy Rooftop, Bleu Bar at L’Auberge Del Mar, La Jolla Brew House, Wave House and more, we found all the best fire pits to keep your nightlife blazing all winter long. Get details here. 

Shhhh – get a sneak peek!

Coming Soon: The space formerly known as Aubergine is undergoing a multi-million dollar remodel, designed by Davis Ink and managed by the team behind the new Side Bar. Situated on the corner of 4th and Island in downtown San Diego, this 11,000-sq. ft. space is slated to re-open Winter 2010 as FLUXX – a high-end dance club. Get details here. (pictured)

Coming Soon: 2010 New Year’s Eve parties are coming out one by one, and if you don’t delay – you can score great deals on cheap tickets.
