San Diego by night is just as hot as San
Diego by day. The city's bars, clubs and lounges cater to every style of music
and dance. Whether you want to rock out to up-and-coming alternative bands or
take in the melodies of a chamber orchestra, you'll always find a reason to stay
up late in San Diego . Downtown is home
to San Diego 's best dance clubs. Stay at the Hilton Gaslamp Quarter or the Best
Western Bayside Inn if you're planning to spend a lot of late nights on the dance
floor. Looking for an upscale place that keeps the party going until dawn? Head
to the E Street Alley, San Diego 's signature posh dance club since 1994. In E
Street's disco, DJs spin hip-hop and techno beats in front of fiber-optic walls
of color-changing cloth. The adjacent Nue Room features a granite bar and ‘80s
and ‘90s pop music. Stylish twenty-somethings are E Street's number one clientele.
While there is no strict dress code, dress to impress to hit the dance floor as
fast as possible. Celebrate San Diego
's Hispanic heritage at Café Sevilla. Locals often describe Café
Sevilla as the closest you can get to Spain without a plane ticket – the nightclub
is devoted to all things Latin and has a young European vibe. Flamenco dancers
start the evening off, captivating their audience and coaxing men to join in their
sensual dance. Around 9:30 , a DJ takes over and the young and hip get down to
Latin-inspired disco, house and hip-hop. Visit Café Sevilla on Tuesday
through Thrusday nights for Club Salsa, where you can take a Salsa lesson and
then practice your new moves all night long. San
Diego 's bars and lounges come in all shapes and sizes and you're bound to find
one that suits your style perfectly. Thrusters Lounge, near the Ocean Park Inn
, caters to the diverse music tastes of the city's residents and visitors. Thrusters
features different themes many nights of the week. On Sundays, San Diego 's premier
jazz group Jazz without a Net fills the club with its smooth melodies. On Tuesdays,
Thrusters hosts “LeFunkParlorDeluxe,” a night of pumping electronic beats and
wall-to-wall dancing. The small club has a down-to-earth feel and attracts a young
crowd. Stop by after a day at the beach for a fun and relaxing night. Canes
Bar & Grill, located steps away from the Bahia Resort , is a tropical style
bar that plays host to big-name bands. Punk and rock groups popular with college
students often visit Canes and draw crowds of up to a thousand. The bar's drinks
borrow their names from famous hurricanes and many times rival their inspirations
in strength. Grab a drink and enjoy it on Canes' rooftop deck, where you can look
out onto the ocean and groove to the sounds of the bands rocking out below. The
U.S. Grant Hotel is home to one of the city's classiest bars, a favorite among
30-plus businessmen and women. With furniture rendered in rich, dark wood, a billiards
table and a large-screen television, the bar is the perfect place to relax in
style. On weekday evenings, order a drink from the mahogany bar and chill out
to the sounds of San Diego 's favorite local Latin and jazz bands. More-->> |
