The 22 Best Dive Bars in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Perched right at the top of the street leading into Tourmaline Surf Park, West End Pub has been holding it down for locals and surfers since 1979. It’s the kind of classic neighborhood dive where the beer is cold and the regulars are always ready to slide over and make room. Inside, you’ll find televisions tuned to whatever game’s on, a few solid pool tables, darts, and a rotating lineup of weekly food pop-ups. Add in daily drink specials and friendly staff, it’s easy to see why people keep coming back. The bartenders and regulars will treat you like family–unless you prove you are not." - Kelly Bone
