For a wide range of entertainment options, all within walking distance of each other, take a stroll through the Gaslamp Quarter. The elegant Victorian bar at Dobson's is the place to meet San Diego's elite. Here's where you can rub elbows with the city's most suave movers and shakers. If you'd rather be rowdy, you'll be right at home at Dick's Last Resort. This come-as-you-are (and you'd better not be too well-dressed) bar and restaurant serves up filling fare such as ribs, chicken, and catfish, along with live jazz, rock, or R&B every night of the week. Fourth & B, with four full bars on the premises, is the Gaslamp Quarter's place to see national rock bands in a theater setting complete with skyboxes and private booths. If merengue is more your style, stop by Cafe Sevilla. After enjoying tapas on the patio, head downstairs to Club Sevilla for the best live Latin music in town, seven days a week. Don't miss their weekend Flamenco dinner shows.
Farther afield, the oceanside ambiance of Clay's La Jolla is the place to go for smooth jazz in an upscale but casual atmosphere. Rock fans should check out the schedule at Casbah. This long-lived venue is the place to see the best in alternative bands, both local and national. The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach hosts a mix of blues, rock, reggae, and country performers. The 710 Beach Club in Pacific Beach is another club where great funk, blues and reggae acts play regularly.
For big belly laughs, check out the improv antics at the National Comedy Theatre. The Comedy Store in La Jolla offers standups from the national circuit.
A good source of information on entertainment and nightlife is the San Diego Reader, a free weekly newspaper available at hundreds of street sites throughout the area.
