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

"Loaded with pool tables, dart boards, and unpretentious well cocktails and bottles, Instant Replay is the perfect strip mall dive bar to hit up after scarfing down Thai food or getting a quick pedicure at one of the neighboring businesses. It’s the kind of no-frills spot where the drinks are cheap, the vibe is chill, and you’re just as likely to catch a local regular as you are a group of friends starting (or ending) their night. The bar is a little worn-in and a little rough around the edges — in the best possible way. Add in a jukebox, plenty of bar games, and an easygoing crowd, and you’ve got yourself a low-key hangout where time doesn’t matter and last call always comes too soon." - Kelly Bone
