Uptown Tavern

Address: 1236 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103

Although Uptown Tavern is more of a restaurant than a bar, it’s still a great place to hang out on a weekend evening after they’ve shut the restaurant down.

It’s still worth checking out for the jukebox, the pool table, the darts, and the history. While everyone else celebrates Taco Tuesday, MO’s has Showtunes night with unlimited spaghetti. I saw my first ever drag show here with some of the main stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race at the time, so the talent they book isn’t anything to balk at.

Pecs

If you want to get out of the heart of Hillcrest but still be near it, head down University Avenue and stop at Pecs.

Address: 1051 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103

Another University Avenue staple, Rich's San Diego has it all.

While they’re another location that offers karaoke, it’s more fun to join every third Thursday for Big Bear Bingo with Tim, which is free to play.

Urban MO’s

Address: 308 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103
Website

Urban MO’s is an absolute staple in the San Diego community.

During that time, they received numerous “Best Gay Bar” and “Best Neighborhood Bar” awards, and they’ve deserved every one.

It’s the kind of bar where you get to know the bartender, and before you know it, you’re singing along to old-school pop hits with new gay friends. If you’ve got food on your mind when you come here, stop in on a Tuesday night.

They have a pool table here, but due to how busy they are, it’s rare to be able to get yourself a slot on it.
