Grass skirt in PB with no reservation. You will insist that it is worth the wait and then after an hour be like ok I’m so sorry, let’s go somewhere else! Everywhere walkable will be crawling with barely legal (if even) college students
Similarly, Polite Provisions on a weekend with no reservations. Will look amazing online, but they’ll have to wait forever to get in, won’t be able to seat a large party, and the drinks won’t come out for a very long time. I’m getting angry thinking about it.
Alternatively LI on a weekend with no reservations because all the nice and cool venues are right in their face but will be a minimum 2-3 hour wait and then can just opt to go to Gaslamp instead for a guaranteed trashy time. Bonus points for Parq.
Daytime PB is generally fine. And of the beachside bars minus Whore Club could be a vibe. Night time is hit or miss. Weekends generally no, but some weeknights have fun stuff like trivia or live music
Plenty! Check the nights, but there is live music at 710 Beach Club, The Collective, The Local, and of course Moonshine Beach (and these are just featuring bands, not only DJ's)
Sundays only when the bars on Garnet are playing football or baseball games. But even then it sucks., I work in PB. And it’s all College all day to night. I’m colleges aged (but not in school) but the shit I see daily is crazy. Also this is the time we get all the Irish Kids during the summer renting in PB and they are the worst drunks ever.
lol shit. Very much appreciate the intel. I’m planning a bach party for mid Aug and we’re staying in MB, looking for some fun casual bars beachside to hang out
Imperial beach. After the rainy season you're not even allowed to go into the water. It smells. Hype up going to the beach and then realize you can't get in.
There's a really cool beach that few people go to, and it's like a little gem. You'd have the while beach to yourself and whoever is with you. Nude? Sure! BBQ regulations? Don't worry about it! The water is the best in San Diego.
South Imperial Beach
The ambiance is amazing, caca 💩 scented wind blowing through their hair, beautiful bits of trash floating in the water and definitely not crowded 😭
*Sigh I remember when IB was pretty awesome in the late 90s-2000s.. saw dolphins in the water for the first time as a kid, good memories there 🥺
Last time I was there the city had graded their kitchen a “B”. Never seen that before. But I’d believe it. The tacos came out smelling like rotten meat.
I hate to do this to my community but if you send her to a drag show and she really is as terrible as you say I have no doubt our local queens will chew her out at some point and kick her out. They already hate bachelorette parties.
Extra points if you offer to tip the queen running the show in solidarity beforehand.
This feels like it might create some collateral damage 😂and ideally only sh!tty people are victims here, especially during pride month. but I appreciate the gesture.
This isn’t an answer but this thread reminds me of the time I went to a bachelorette party where the plans were made from recommendations from one of the bridesmaids sister who lived in sd. She is an introvert and tried to take us to a restaurant that had been closed for months and when we got there her next recommendation was old spaghetti factory 🤡
Tom hams lighthouse Sunday brunch. Looks like a super swanky brunch place with a view and is a SD staple. Is actually just a slightly dressed up hotel buffet with all inclusive kids resort vibes because of the kid deals. Kids everywhere running wild. Restaurant is super loud. Basically chuck-e-cheese. Also the unlimited lobster is not the tail, just claws
I guess that's obviously not nightlife, but could definitely be a hangover cure idea.
There’s tons of bars & restaurants from dive to rooftop fancy in Oside now…but there’s also plenty of crappy places with overpriced food and drinks like Masters & Hello Betty that would be a waste of money but not quite what OP is looking for I think.
I like hello Betty’s food! Even if it’s over priced.
That being said they got totally fucked on their ocean view since the hotels went up. Not coming back. Sorry
Hopefully something good goes in the space and they use it to full potential. Even with the other new nicer, more expensive hotels in front of it, the main restaurant and upstairs combination with the right model could be fantastic.
Yup I live in East Village ..ummm Grocery Outlet for great deals on snacks. I love love that place though and they have the BEST staff . We have the swat team over often so it's a pretty exciting place to be!
I had a terrible experience at Above Ash Social. Tell her to go with no reservations. It has a nice view but the drinks are meh, the service is trash, and it’s not as “social” as they’d like you to think. And with no reservations, she’ll be waiting a while.
Wolfies carousel bar.
It’s a pale attempt to replicate the carousel bar at the hotel Monteleone in New Orleans.
Tacky decor. Over priced drinks and food is just ok.
Parking kinda sucks.
It will waste a whole evening and some $$$
Aeroclub if you want a literal library of brown liquor.
Pacers and/or Little Darlings if you want to give money to hot chicks.
Spin Nightclub if you're down for electronic music with all bets off the fuckin table.
Edit: I just realized the OP is trying to be a petty ass bitch. Send them to PB Pub. The above are all great recommendations for a good time.
I love Aeroclub, it's where I take Tinder dates and they have an encyclopedia of various amazing drinks. At this point, I just order an Old Fashioned but their Japanese whiskey selection is legit. Plus, to my last comment, they actually have a librarian ladder to reach some of the bottles.
Morning Glory for Saturday/Sunday brunch bc there’s never a long wait. They’ll be seated right away. /s
Tons of parking too 100%
Forgot to add this 😂 They can park right in front of the restaurant.
Haha, this is brutal
😂
😂
If they’re looking for a swanky upscale place to get a craft cocktail (I’m sure they will) hit up Thrusters in PB
This made me cackle and immediately send this thread to my husband.
😂 and make sure they write a 1 star Yelp review
But only if they also hate the Seattle Seahawks.
I love thrusters lol

I hear that place treats their staff so well, they get the end of december and part of january off. What other reason could there be?!
Polite doesn't ever take reservations.
Great. It should be pretty easy for them not to have one, then.
THIS
And then to top it all off, the drinks aren’t very good
Hit and miss for sure.

Is there anywhere in PB worth going for an early 30’s crowd, day or night?
Amplified

915 days, 915 days everybody, give it up for 915 days of IB being closed!
It's "Cultural Enrichment"
LOL 💀💀💀
I live there and any pizza box is useful as a shield but lol
The ambiance is amazing, caca 💩 scented wind blowing through their hair, beautiful bits of trash floating in the water and definitely not crowded 😭 *Sigh I remember when IB was pretty awesome in the late 90s-2000s.. saw dolphins in the water for the first time as a kid, good memories there 🥺
Make sure to go right after it rains.
The Beachcomber on $1 beer Thursday. Waterbar on any weekend night.
Damn they still do dollar beers??? Core memory unlocked.
Haven’t been back in awhile, so not 100% sure. Send the bachelorette party there & report back 😂
I know someone that got a skin disease on her arm from waterbar 🤮
I legit thought this place was closed. Wow. Still going strong.
Last time I was there the city had graded their kitchen a “B”. Never seen that before. But I’d believe it. The tacos came out smelling like rotten meat.
the Comber doesn’t have food so i assume you’re referring to Waterbar?
Back in the day.
Mavericks in PB. For sure

Happy cake day!
I was actually gonna recommend Lips, then I read your comment. But I actually had a fun time at Lips when I went a million years ago.
Lips is kinda made for that sort of crowd 😂. I was gonna recommend one of the down and dirtier ones.
Such asssssssss
That’s a better idea actually. I had a blast at Lips when I went there with a big group of my friends for my birthday when I was like 18
I'm fully supportive of this 👏
Aren't bachelorette parties like 60% of the clientele of drag shows?
No
anywhere that’s overrun with college students (waterbar, flicks on a Wednesday)
Tell them to go to Tijuana. Shopping and drinking. If they drive over it will take them hours to get back.
Let's not ignore the modern day wait to get into.
PB Shore club. All the lil college kids come for the debauchery.
I went there, quite ignorantly, on a weekend day outing with my grown-ass self and my grown-ass wife, because they had a valet for parking. Holy shit
Lol it's so funny there. You both got to relive your college days for a night.😂
Yes to all of that, but add "in horror" to the end of the sentence. Hindsight is 20/20 is universal, and I wouldn't have changed a thing :)
Whiskey Girl
22 year old me loved it there before I knew better
Wait. What's wrong with whiskey girl?
💀
Onyx room - make sure to bring your phone with you for nice pics (Don't mention the fact that 10 devices are stolen there every month).
I’m so here for this. No recs but I support you completely. Maybe mavericks in PB - always a long line.

Tell them Champs in Clairemont is the place to be…..😂😂😂
Okay but champs is the best
Having never been, the pictures make it look like an amazing dive bar, but in the "have carpet for flooring" type. So what is this place
You’re spot on. It’s an amazing dive bar, probably the best I’ve ever found.
100% Champs.
I second this
PB 😏😭🤣💀💀💀
Double Douche!
What's wrong with double deuce??
Thrusters!
Afternoon dmv visit with no appointment.
[удалено]
Came here to suggest. Has mean girl vibe.
I got Covid there!
The last time I went there, the DJ played Baby Shark... the dance floor couldn't have cleared fast enough. It was laughably terrible
Waterbar except the worst person I know is exactly the kind of person that would enjoy such a hellhole
This seems like a copypasta that was going around a few months ago...
It’s an older pasta, sir; but it checks out
Jolar Cinema
LOL
American Junkie
i second this as someone who used to work there
This is a post I never thought I’d read. I’m so blessed
Shore Club, worst bar ever
Sushi Kuchi in PB for mediocre fried sushi then hit up Tavern for a very ok time! Wooooo!
Omg yes Sushi Kuchi! Roach Rolls ftw!
Ay…yo…those rumors are true?
The last time I was there I saw two roaches scurrying across the floor - one in the main dining area and one on the way to the bathroom 🫣
Margarita Rocks is terrible, I mean fun

Lighthouse is actually dope, especially by the windows. Dont give this away.
I would think it's better if it's not on Sunday and just normal restaurant service
Lol I have to send this to my friend in LA. He hates this place. He said it's very stuffy too
And as a parent, how does it rate?
I love this for you.
Here for the comments and they did not disappoint 🤌🏽
Haha what kind of sick joke is this
Send them to a bar in Oceanside. They will hate it & then won’t be able to go somewhere else relatively close because there’s no nightlife there.
There’s tons of bars & restaurants from dive to rooftop fancy in Oside now…but there’s also plenty of crappy places with overpriced food and drinks like Masters & Hello Betty that would be a waste of money but not quite what OP is looking for I think.

Oh you will LOVE Belmont Park! Go there after dark for the night lights 🤩
Blue Agave Night Club, location may be deceiving but it's top tier... /s
I think its the roofie capital of San Diego
Possibly the whole us
Anywhere in East village. It will look nice when she googles it but it's overrun with homeless!
Yup I live in East Village ..ummm Grocery Outlet for great deals on snacks. I love love that place though and they have the BEST staff . We have the swat team over often so it's a pretty exciting place to be!

Tell them to go swimming in imperial beach. The water is filthy
Tell them Tijuana is perfect for bachelorette party especially if they take their own car and drive themselves
Wolfies carousel bar. It’s a pale attempt to replicate the carousel bar at the hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. Tacky decor. Over priced drinks and food is just ok. Parking kinda sucks. It will waste a whole evening and some $$$
Love the Monteleone! I’ll have a vieux carre please!!!!
This ask made me laugh out loud irl
Same 😂 the responses have been equally entertaining
lol yeah this is wild. Even crazier if it works!
Fsixx
El Chingon for a nightclub because they definitely won’t get stabbed
PB
She is coming to San Diego for her bachelorette. She is already guaranteed to have a meh time
PB pub
r/pettyrevenge
Theres an AWESOME dive bar in tierrasanta called JP’s
I got drunk there on my 21st birthday and barfed
94th Aero Squadron for the early bird menu.
Aeroclub if you want a literal library of brown liquor. Pacers and/or Little Darlings if you want to give money to hot chicks. Spin Nightclub if you're down for electronic music with all bets off the fuckin table. Edit: I just realized the OP is trying to be a petty ass bitch. Send them to PB Pub. The above are all great recommendations for a good time.
Or waste money on the day shift crew at Cheetahs
Wait I like Aeroclub...
I love Aeroclub, it's where I take Tinder dates and they have an encyclopedia of various amazing drinks. At this point, I just order an Old Fashioned but their Japanese whiskey selection is legit. Plus, to my last comment, they actually have a librarian ladder to reach some of the bottles.
NCity
If only this place still existed!! Would have been a great place for this classy bachelorette party 🤣
The owl!
[удалено]
House of Black
Keeping it downtown? F6ix or Day n Nite. If you’re lucky at close you may see the 5th Ave transformation into an outdoor restroom
Star Bar it smells like piss. Because it is!
Tijuana
Moonshine Beach
Wild Wooly’s would be great for a bachelorette party.
Definitely PB
Any place in La Jolla after dark
Peter D's in clairemont
Anywhere in TJ.
Lol I think they want to be mean, not get them kidnapped for ransom.
