Club Montage

Three floors of bars with a laser light and great sound system.
Comedy Store

Headliners from LA’s famous Comedy Club often perform at their San Diego branch. David Letterman, Garry Shandling, and Pauly Shore have all had a go here, as well as the local talent. Sundays are open mike nights.
Corvette Diner

James Dean photos, neon, and 1950s road-trip artifacts adorn this diner’s walls; burgers are named Kookie and Eddie; and a shiny Corvette sits as a shrine in this retro Hillcrest hangout. Libations from the full bar help dull the sensory onslaught.
Coyote Bar & Grill

Southwestern and Mexican-style appetizers and an extensive tequila menu keep this single’s hunting ground jumping.
Croce’s Jazz Bar & Croce’s Top Hat

Ingrid Croce opened Gaslamp’s first club in tribute to her late husband, singer/songwriter Jim Croce, in 1985. The Jazz Bar features traditional, contemporary, and Latin live jazz, while the Top Hat features live R&B bands. However, tables are too close together and service can be indifferent.
Crown Room

The room is a living legend, the feast amazing.
Dizzy’s

It’s all about the music at this sparse 1913 warehouse just east of the Gaslamp Quarter. No food or alcohol are available, and no TV or neon lights distract from the live jazz bands. All ages are welcome.
Dudley’s Bakery

Boasting an almost cult-like popularity, everyone stops in this bakery and snack shop near Julian. Lines are long to buy loaves of 16 varieties of bread.
Hash House A Go Go

Locals vote this the best breakfast spot in town.
Hob Nob Hill

Waffles, omelets and pancakes.
