Casual bar food and drinks with lively dance floor. I find this place is less crowded and less expensive than the bars downtown.

Another recent addition to the Little Italy scene, Topside Terrace Kitchen and Bar is located atop the newly rebranded Hotel Republic. It’s a decidedly relaxed, yet refined, spot that doesn’t attract too large of crowds and plies visitors with delicious dishes

Firehouse has become a Pacific Beach institution by focusing on two things: offering an excellent boozy brunch during the daytime (try the chicken and waffles), and really leaning into the dance lounge vibes at night, all with an ocean view. It inevitably will be crowded almost any night, as those looking to cut a rug flock to it in packs (Firehouse has DJs spinning house music multiple times a week), but it never feels uncomfortable due to how well the highly exposed rooftop catches a breeze.

At 22 stories, ALTITUDE is the highest open-air rooftop bar in the area, which means you’ll have better views of the city here than anywhere else. In addition to the bird’s eve view of the city, ALTITUDE’s location next to Petco Park also means you can catch a free ball game, which -- given how godawful the Padres are -- is the perfect price. The bar rarely has a cover, but it does have a dress code, so don’t show up dressed like you just rolled out of bed and you should be good.

Upper East Bar is a rooftop pool bar in the middle of Gaslamp is great, but a rooftop pool bar in Gaslamp without a cover is an absolute dream come true. A companion to the hotel restaurant downstairs, this spot (formerly called LoungeSix and recently rebranded as Upper East Bar)

Of all the rooftops on this list, the Rooftop by STK atop the Andaz in Gaslamp is arguably the clubbiest, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. STK hosts some great pool parties, and the music director always brings solid DJ acts. Go, get in the pool and have some fun.

If you are a fan of Mexican food and anywhere near San Diego, then you have no doubt heard of and probably visited multiple times Tacos el Gordo. This Tijuana transplant makes some of the best tacos I have ever had, and even though the line is practically always massive, I have never been disappointed with a wait for their food.

This place makes four kinds of breakfast burritos that you eat out of a basket in view of Crystal Pier (patio seating available) alongside pancakes, eggs and Kono potatoes. It’s always crowded but well worth the wait.

One of the beaches in San Diego's Mission Bay & Beaches region, P.B. (as the locals call it) is a favorite spot for college students and young adults enjoying the party atmosphere, frequenting the area’s restaurants and bars—some just steps from the sand. P.B. comes alive at night, too, with the glow of bonfires and the electricity of the region’s many clubs.

Coronado Beach in San Diego is a 1.5 mile long, wide sandy beach set against the backdrop of the iconic Hotel del Coronado with its peaked red roof and classic Victorian architecture, according to Leatherman. “The beach is popular for swimmers, surfers, sunbathers and beachcombers. The beach is very flat, making it great for skim boarding and walking, and the sand has a silvery sheen because of the presence of mica. Families arrive in the morning, toting umbrellas, beach towels and picnic coolers for an all-day stay.
