Maybe the leaves on our local trees don’t change too much in color. Perhaps only we real locals can tell changes in weather patterns. When summer turns to fall in San Diego, our lifestyle speaks the real seasonal changes. Sure, we’re still enjoying sunny afternoons in flip-flops (take that, East Coast!), but our Sunday and Monday to-do lists have truly transformed for the fall.

From Sunday morning through Monday night, we are dedicated to cheering on our favorite football teams and players surrounded by good friends, great food, and flowing pints and spirits. When it’s game time in San Diego, football fans can’t keep their eyes off the TV. Luckily for residents of San Diego North, when it’s game time, it’s always happy hour at Bistro 39.

Bistro 39 at Hilton Garden Inn is the go-to neighborhood restaurant and bar for residents of San Diego North, including Carmel Valley, Sorrento Valley and more. This thriving area is home to a growing population, and these fine locals deserve a solid neighborhood stomping ground. If you’ve yet to check out Bistro 39, you’re missing out and, likely, traveling way too far out of your neighborhood for a good bite to eat. Trust Bistro 39 for your NFL and College Football game day fun, with non-stop happy hour specials on drinks and food whenever a game is on.

Hungry? Some of the starter favorites at Bistro 39 include the flavorful and fresh lettuce wraps – featuring your choice of orange beef, fine spice chicken or peppered shrimp with crisp vegetables wrapped in fresh bib lettuce. Or, warm up your taste buds with the Grilled Figs and Grilled Caesar.
