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

"With its punk rock roots and affordable drinks, City Heights’ Tower Bar is a classic dive. Located beneath a colorful Art Deco tower and next door to a tattoo shop, this bar has been a San Diego staple for decades. Originally a soda fountain and pharmacy, it’s now a hub for live music, attracting the city’s punk and rock crowds. Grab a cold beer or show some guts with a round of Hello Kitty Farts—a sweet, pink drink that’s become a Tower tradition. Whether you’re there for the music or the history, Tower Bar keeps it loud, local, and always memorable." - Kelly Bone
