The 22 Best Dive Bars in San Diego | Eater San Diego
"Though the exterior has gotten a major refresh, step inside and it’s still the same old Lancers that regulars know and love. The classic wood paneling, drop ceiling, and overall no-frills charm have been carefully preserved at this beloved, still cash-only (for now) dive bar. In May 2025, longtime bartenders Chelsea Roop, Tom Logsdon, and Lisa Johnson will officially take over ownership, promising to keep the laid-back vibes and neighborhood spirit exactly the same. So pull up a stool, crack open a cold bottled beer, and settle in while you wait your turn at one of the freshly re-felted pool tables. Some things, thankfully, don’t need to change." - Kelly Bone
