I am staying in San Diego April 30th to May 2nd. I want to visit at one brewery, one bottle shop and one bar. Any suggestions? Keep in mind for the brewery it will be a Monday through Wednesday.
Will you have a car? For the bottle shop - Best Damn Beer Shop downtown is walkable from your hotel and has a tremendous selection. Bar - Downtown Johnny Browns is very close to your hotel but Neighborhood and Monkey Paw also have great selections and better food. Johnny Browns will have the MLB package to be able to watch the Mets games and is generally not packed early in the week so that you can ask for a game. Brewery - Depends if you want a tour or not and whether you include brewpubs but the beer will definitely not disappoint at Alpine. Could hit a lot of traffic if you cannot go during the afternoon.
That’s CBC week, so almost all of the go-to bars (O’brien’s, Hamiltons, Toronado, etc.) will have special events going on. http://www.westcoastersd.com/event-calendar/
if you will not have a car or want to stay in the DT location there is Mission Brewery. Otherwise the other closest brewery I would suggest is Pizza Port Ocean Beach, not only do they have great beer, they have a large guest tap list
