POINT LOMA, MIDWAY & THE ISLANDS

The Brigantine

2725 Shelter Island Drive,
Shelter Island
www.brigantine.com
Taco Tuesdays mean swordfish tacos that don’t suck for $2.99 each.

C Level

880 Harbor Island Drive, Harbor Island
www.cohnrestaurants.com
The place to take out-of-town guests for a view of the bay and Downtown skyline. The baked brie and wine flights are quite nice.

Captain’s Quarters

1403 Rosecrans St., Point Loma
619-223-2750
Don’t miss this one just because it’s in the Ramada. Multiple pool tables and the chance at hot out-of-towners looking to party should be enough of a draw.

Desi-N-Friends

2734 Lytton St., Midway
www.desiscocktails.com
The tagline of this quaint dive (yes, a dive can be quaint) is “your favorite bar.” With free pool on Tuesdays and $2.50 draft beer on Thursdays (both after 7 p.m.), it just might be.

The Hole

2820 Lytton St., Point Loma
619-226-9019
www.thehole.com
It’s called “The Hole.” Seriously, need we say more?

Humphrey’s Backstage Lounge

2241 Shelter Island Drive,
Shelter Island
www.humphreysbythebay.com
It’s like a little mini version of Humphrey’s Mainstage. They still book quality acts of the blues, classic-rock and soul varieties.

Kristy’s MVP Sports Bar

3225 Midway Drive, Midway

www.kristysmvp.com
Simply the place to come for sports fans. If someone is running, throwing, jumping, kicking, skating or otherwise exerting themselves for love or money on TV, Kristy’s is showing it. Possibly best for the UFC fights.

The Pearl Hotel

1410 Rosecrans St., Point Loma
www.thepearlsd.com
The bar can get pretty cramped at this ultra-sleek remodeled motel, so sit poolside, enjoy a pig-belly appetizer and check out one of the movies they regularly show on the massive wall-turned-projection screen above the pool.

Riley’s Music Lounge

2901 Nimitz Blvd., Point Loma
www.rileysmusiclounge.com
Riley’s is a sports bar during the day and music venue at night. It has décor like a chain restaurant but decent drink pours and very amusing drunken girls singing karaoke Sundays and Wednesdays.

Solare Lounge

2820 Roosevelt Rd., Point Loma
www.solarelounge.com
Solare welcomes pets on its patio, so if you’re like our arts editor Seth Combs and you can’t leave your dog at home, you can come to Solare.

SOMA

3350 Sports Arena Blvd., Midway
www.somasd.com
Care to see hundreds of angst-filled teenagers with emo hair crush against each other in a vast space with no alcohol? Well, then....

Tom Hams Lighthouse

2150 Harbor Island Drive,
Harbor Island
www.tomhamslighthouse.com
Twin Decks bar has been remodeled and opened up into the main restaurant at Tom Hams, so Twin Decks as you knew it no longer exists. It’s now part of a casual upscale restaurant with a waterfront view. Try the seafood.
