"The Tipsy Crow occupies one of San Diego’s most historic buildings, the Spencer-Ogden, dating back to 1874. Each of the three floors has its own vibe — the main bar has been slinging cocktails since before Prohibition; the lounge, aka “The Nest” was once a gentlemen’s club, but is now sports luxe with leather seating, polished hardwood and a pool table; and the underground features DJs and dancing. Grab a Celestial Margarita (Astral Blanco, lime, agave, orange liqueur, and a Tajín rim), and explore each before you settle in for nibbles like meatball sliders, loaded lobster dip, flatbreads, bread bowls filled with chowder and mac and cheese, and robust sandwiches." - Mary Beth Abate
