Last night, my friend and I went to check out the new Side Bar in Gaslamp Quarter, which reopened in May after a multi-million dollar renovation. Upon entering, this bar/lounge/club was unlike anything I had ever seen. The black, red and silver décor was over-the-top in the most fabulous way – I swear, I spent […]
Champagne Dreams on a Working Man’s Budget!
While it is a good bet that on any given night of the week you’ll find me in one of San Diego’s numerous 24 hour Taco Shops, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like to “suit up” and head someplace nice for dinner every once in a while. There are so many options in town […]
Get Your Brain Freeze On
The weather is heating up, and one of the surest ways to cool down is a nice cold slurpee.

Happy Hour Takes You Higher
Ahh, Friday in July. The weather is gorgeous. Are you looking forward to the weekend? With sunshine like this, there’s no way you should consider kicking it off indoors.

Happy Hour is Tiki Time
I’m having a Calgon moment and a bubble bath won’t cut it. I need something stronger. What’s a girl to do when only a technicolor cocktail with an umbrella will suffice? Follow the lead of generations of Californians and embrace Tiki culture, of course. That way, I can take an exotic getaway – just for a happy hour […]

Dinner & A Drink – Gaslamp Style!
So what does an attractive, single, 30-something professional do on a Friday night in San Diego?
