"It's always adult swim here—this is where the well-heeled grown-ups linger over their foie gras for at least a few hours. To wit: Mister A's requests business casual attire (collared shirts and closed-toe shoes for men) before 4:30 p.m. But that also means the fine dining at this institution is above reproach."

"Just because San Diegans live in Vacation Town, USA, doesn’t mean we don’t need a tropical island escape from time to time. With its beachy decor and lineup of "drinks from sunny places," Fairweather comes pretty close. Views of Petco Park and the ability to order food from Rare Form (downstairs) are two notable pluses.How to order: Patio tables are on a first-come first-served basis."

Its picture-perfect IPAs like The Pupil, one of BeerAdvocate’s top beers, and The Coachman, a 2015 gold medal-winning session IPA at the Great American Beer Festival, that stoke the engine of this San Diego brewery.

"Nope, you didn’t read that wrong – this place serves up some of the best small batch gelato in the city!. Their storefront is located in a historic building in University Heights and instead of changing the name of the previous tenant, they decided to keep it and adapt their brand to fit!. Crafted by an experienced European gelato maker, the unique flavors are cleverly named after fabrics but are inspired by seasonal produce found at the local farmer’s markets."
