Places on this Skoot

  • On Broadway

    615 Broadway , San Diego, CA

    It’s exclusively for private parties on weeknights, but On Broadway opens the doors every Friday and Saturday night for you to come in and get your groove on. The club's Zen Café serves up Pacific Rim cuisine, and with house, hip-hop, '70s and '80s music pumping on the 90,000-watt sound system, there's something for everyone to move to. The space is unique — it used to be a bank and still sports the giant doors to the vault, which now opens onto a plush billiards room.

  • The Bitter End

    770 5th Ave , San Diego, CA

    Don’t let the night end yet! Keep it going until the bitter end at the Bitter End bar in the Gaslamp Quarter. The unique dark-wood walls, leather couches and fireplace give the space a different vibe than your everyday hangout. It’s a place to chill with a signature black martini, mix with others who enjoy elegance and style or play a game of pool. Check out the Upstairs VIP lounge or head down to the Underground for dancing.

  • Gaslamp Quarter

    413 Market St , San Diego, CA

    The Gaslamp Quarter got its name from the fixtures that kept the district lit after dark in the late 1800s. Although the gaslamps are gone, the after-dark part is still around. From the Hard Rock Hotel to Altitude Sky Bar, there’s no shortage of nightclubs to get your blood pumping. Try House of Blues or the Gaslamp Tavern if you’re looking for some live music. If you just need a drink and a midnight snack, try Nicky Rotten’s — if you can't find it, there’s always Dick’s Last Resort.

  • Stingaree

    454 6th Ave , San Diego, CA

    Stingaree is three stories of proof that life is much better after night falls. This red-light-district restaurant and nightclub boasts luxury bottle-service seating around the pumping dance floor and a mezzanine where oversize booths give loungers a bird’s-eye view of the undulating bodies below. When you need a rest, take your drink to the rooftop Oasis, where you can relax with your crew in tented cabanas by the fire pit.
