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

"Try as it might, The Kraken can’t keep the ocean air and sunlight from creeping into its dark, wood-paneled dive bar vibe. Just across from the beach in Cardiff, it’s the go-to spot for sun-seekers looking to escape the crowds with a cold beer and live music. The drinks are strong; the bands are loud. All in all, this is a classic beach bar that hasn’t changed much over the years, which is exactly what keeps people coming back." - Kelly Bone
