Downtown San Diego Happy Hour

Happy hour is an enjoyable period of time at a restaurant, pub or nightclub where discounts are offered to encourage people to come by, stay awhile and invite friends and co-workers.

It is common for establishments to dedicate a window of time in the early evening so people will drop in for a drink or appetizer after work, knowing there is an incentive for them to come enjoy great discounts on the food and beverage. Happy hour is a great time to be social and enjoy friends, neighbors and family.

We see happy hour as a fun way to sample a restaurant’s menu and be social. The following happy hours are our favorite picks for Downtown San Diego. We are always searching for exciting new happy hour venues so let us know about your experience at these and other happy hours.
