In this thread, California GCers help me organize a San Diego bachelorette party

[texas*princess]

Here's the deal: A bunch of my coworkers from across the country will be in San Diego for work-related stuff, and last week we realized it would be the last time we saw a certain co-worker before she got married.

So naturally, I'm thinking we need to have a bachelorette party since we're all close and I'm sure it will be fun!

I'm obviously not a California native, so I need some suggestions on places to take her. There will be about 10 of us making a night of it, it will likely be a Wednesday night because of our travel schedules.

Any suggestions? I was told the Gas Lamp district is the way to go... but that's all the help I've received so far.

Please help!!

Thanks so much!!!

I think most people in SD go to Vegas for bachelorette parties! Gas Lamp is a great choice, especially if you're staying downtown. If you want a younger, rowdier crowd Pacific Beach is great. PB Bar & Grill is really popular.

The Gaslamp Quarter was exactly the place I was going to suggest. It's our historic downtown quarter and has a lot of restaurants and clubs, is near to major hotels, and the San Diego Trolley.

I'm not a nightclub person; so, unfortunately I can't really recommend a place. The only place I've been is Deco's at night when it's a club. My friend just celebrated a birthday at the rooftop bar at the Ivy Hotel.

The only other place I might suggest is Pacific Beach...but it's kind of hit and miss sometimes and not nearly as much of a "destination" as the Gaslamp Quarter.

"Bars and Nightlife

Pacific Beach is one of the main centers of nightlife in San Diego. Garnet Avenue between Ingraham Street and Mission Blvd. is the main area where bars and restaurants are located. Pacific Beach tends to cater towards a younger, more college & post college oriented crowd compared to downtown San Diego's Gaslamp District. Dress codes are generally less strict if they are enforced at all.

Some of the larger and more popular bars in Pacific Beach include Cabo Cantina, Pacific Beach Bar & Grill, Moondoggies, Tavern At The Beach, Nick's at the Beach, and Typhoon Saloon. There are also a good selection of medium sized bars and a few smaller local places such as PB Pub, Thrusters, Cass St Bar & Grill, and The Silver Fox. Lahaina Beach House, located on the Boardwalk at Reed Street, and Open Bar (on Mission Blvd.) are popular on sunny days."


Also, I've heard of people going to the Wave House in Mission Beach, which is just south of Pacific Beach.

Good luck! I hope you all enjoy San Diego!
