Local favorite with great burgers, milkshakes, and not a lot else. Lively little spot with funky decor. There is also a location in Ocean Beach.

Hodad's

Western-themed hipster hangout with good cocktails, rotating DJs, and a fun dance floor. A world away from the usual bottleservice & bouncers experience at many downtown SD clubs.

El Dorado

A historic square just north of the shopping center of the same name. A large fountain marks the center of the park.

Horton Plaza Park

Popular shows and musicals with some amazing performances.

San Diego Civic Theatre

Somewhat in the shadow of the mighty Los Angeles Philharmonic, but still a top notch symphony orchestra. See website for the current season.
