        11 San Diego Gay Bars for a Fantastic Night Out

        San Diego has long been a haven for the LGBTQ+ community, even if the reputation doesn’t scream out from the sidelines about it. There’s a long and storied history of San Diego gay bars and its collective that stretches back to Earth War II, when San Diego stationed a lot of the military.

        Some of those bars still exist, including some that were even here before that in the early 1900s. Most of the San Diego same-sex attracted bars center around Hillcrest, often known as the “gayborhood,” and provide a welcoming space for people on any end of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. If you are looking for more places to celebrate, check out our guide on the best bars in Hillcrest as well.

        Here are 11 LGBTQ+ bars you can find in San Diego. Note that none of these bars serve food, save for one that has a flamboyant brunch on Sundays. Many of the bars are near sustenance trucks or stands if you need a little snack while you drink, but other than that, they’re alcohol only. 

        Whether you’re looking for a smooth evening in with the locals or a wild night out with your friends, here are the gay bars you won’t yearn to miss.
