POINT LOMA, OCEAN BEACH, AND CORONADO

POINT LOMA

A diverse range of unique watering holes sits amid this sleepy, residential burg.

BARS

Modern Times Beer. Point Loma’s funky and unique entry into the craft beer game, Modern Times lives up to its name with innovative design—including a mural made entirely of Post-It notes—simple and stylish take-home six-packs, and a rotating cast of beers on tap with the diversity to please every type of palate. 3725 Greenwood St., Point Loma 619/546–9694 moderntimesbeer.com/.

The Pearl Hotel. Step into late ’60s Palm Springs, with shag carpet, clean lines, and lots of wood accents. The lobby bar is almost as fabulous as the outdoor pool area, where inflatable balls bob in illuminated water and vintage flicks show on a huge screen. And feel free to drink to excess. After 10 pm, when the bar closes, you can stay over at a discounted $79 “play and stay” rate if there are any rooms available. 1410 Rosecrans St., Point Loma 619/226–6100 www.thepearlsd.com.

OCEAN BEACH

There are hippie hangouts, campy cocktail lounges, and not a dress code in sight.

BARS

Pacific Shores. This bar isn’t going for classy with its acid-trip mermaid mural, but hey, it’s OB—a surf town populated by leftovers from the ’60s, man. A laid-back but see-and-be-seen crowd congregates here for relatively inexpensive drinks (no beers on tap, though), pool games, and pop and rock tunes on the jukebox. 4927 Newport Ave., Ocean Beach 619/223–7549.

SHELTER ISLAND

The island combines tiki kitsch and mid-century charm, with one of the city’s best concert destinations.

ROCK, POP, HIP-HOP, FOLK, AND BLUES CLUBS

Humphrey’s by the Bay. From June through September this dining and drinking oasis surrounded by water hosts the city’s best outdoor jazz, folk, and light-rock concert series and is the stomping ground of such musicians as the Cowboy Junkies and Chris Isaak. The rest of the year the music moves indoors for first-rate jazz, blues, and more. 2241 Shelter Island Dr., Shelter Island 619/224–3577 www.humphreysconcerts.com.
