San Diego question… I am here for 2 more days and looking for things to do. Do NOT want to hang out with my team after work is done.. so looking for ideas. First time here… Any rec for bars, places to eat, or something to experience? Flying solo tonight and probably tomorrow (after 5 pst). No restriction of any kind.. male mid 30s, staying in the La Jolla area and have a rental car. Thanks.

Also, there is a DTF at Petco Park in the lower bowl. Haven’t tried it so can’t attest to quality, but it’s an option.

Stone has a brewery in Escondido that does amazing food and has a badass outdoor area. Highly recommend. Ballast Point is right by Miramar air base and is equally awesome, but if the weather is good for outside (when isn't it, it's San Diego), go to Stone.

like

They also have one in Liberty Station within SD itself. Good food and beer.

That said, Stone is kind of on my no-buy list now because of their penchant for suing smaller breweries using anything remotely resembling the word “stone” as part of their broader strategy in their lawsuit against MillerCoors (Keystone).

I’d say check out Pure Project or North Park over Stone.

If your staying in La Jolla I would head south 2 miles to Pacific Beach. Great bars, decent food and a very casual and typical San Diego beach scene

like

Agreed! Pacific Beach is super-chill with great hangout spots. If you like burgers, head to Hodad’s for a burger and a beer and great people-watching. People are super-friendly and it’s easy to strike up conversations. There are also a few spots in PB with great rooftops & patios.
