 | |  |  | Gaslamp Quarter: Wow, San Diego Hangout! | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
I have this twice only because this place is active during the day for the museums, shops, and day time activities, but at night it is a different story.......wow! This is San Diego's Historic Gas Lamp Quarter district. Hmmm, does that hint around what it use to be around here? Gosh, if the walls could talk in these buildings...or maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea to hear.......LOL!!! Ok, onto the history lesson, this area use to be a notorious area for gamblers and prostitutes, such as Wyatt Earp and Ida Bailey, who founded numerous gambling halls, saloons and brothels. Wow a sight that must of have been. As colorful as our history is, it is still history and they were still people. Now it has become one of trendiest area for so many to frequent and hang out. Loads of restaurants, theaters, clubs and shopping. It is a place where you can see charming Victorian-style buildings constructed between 1880 and 1910 and at night.....Wow....the old-fashioned gas lamps begin to glow along the wide brick walkways illuminating many charming sidewalk cafes. Over 70 restaurants to enjoy or have a late-night coffee and tea at one of the many coffee houses. Here is another tip, park in the underground parking garage where the downtown mall is, buy something at any of the stores and they will validate your parking for free.....Yay!
I would say dress up a little, its seemed like everyone was wearing some of their best! Leave a Comment Theme: Adult SpotDirections: The Gaslamp Quarter is located in the heart of Downtown San Diego.

| | | | Gaslamp Quarter: DON'T DRIVE | Tip Rating: | | | | |
If you are going down to the Gaslamp don't drive. Take the Trolley, Bike Taxi's, taxi's or walk if you are close. Driving is just not the way to go. We sat outside of a bar on their patio and watched the people drive by. It would take on a average 8 minutes to go a block. If you are down there and you don't feel like walking to your bar, club, or resturant, take the bike taxi. It is worth it to not have to deal with walking if you have to go far. It cost us 10 dollars with tip to go from the start of the Quater, near the water, to the Hard Rock. You should walk around if you don't know what bar or club you want to go into because most of the bars have a 10 to 20 dollar cover. Also dress nice if you want to get into most of the clubs.
Nice pants and shirts for guys and dresses for the girls ARE required to get into most nightclubs and some bars. If you don't want to dress up and want to wear your Dickies shorts,like me, find Patricks or Freddys, they don't really have a dress code.
