Drinks & Nightlife

This is a bar but I am calling it a brewery because they probably have one of the craft best beer selections in San Diego. Their tap is always rotating and they have a non-pretentious, often loud vibe that many locals love. Dogs are allowed and you can order really good burgers and bar food through a hole in the wall behind the pool tables.

A really cool feel to this craft cocktail bar is a great start to any night or as a nightcap. The huge windows open up on nice days and let in the sun and the decor will keep you looking around. The drinks are great and the food is all vegan but they do a great job in making good options that even meat-eaters will enjoy. Again, walking distance to the house is hard to beat.

Food Scene

Amazing Italian food (IMO) and a nice stroll from the house through the South Park neighborhood. Pasta, pizza, and many specials are great at this spot and the prices are very reasonable for such good food. For gluten-free folks, they have the best gluten-free pizza that I have ever had, hands-down. Most seating is on the patio and it gets packed on weekends so try to reserve a spot or, head over, put your name down, walk back to the house and wait for your call. It is a 5 minute walk from the craftsman bungalow.

Chill small location and only a small two blocks away. A nice way to start your morning and you really can't get much closer. They have limited indoor seating but a larger patio to enjoy the sunny San Diego days.

Nice stop for a good latte, cold brew, coffee or lighter fare like a kombucha. A local coffee spot that I definitely frequent often. Parking is not always the best at this location.

Quality meats can be essential for many and Sepulveda definitely has quality at heart. If you are looking for something to throw on the grill, then this is your stop. You do pay a premium for the quality, but this is where I have to go if I am throwing meat onto the grill. As of the writing of this, they have a 5 star Yelp review with 46 reviews and Yelp can often be a feisty crowd.

Shopping

Lots of cool, modern clothes and accessories. My girlfriend loves to come here and there are several great shops in the area. A little further walk but this just notes more neighborhood shops in the area close to the house that are outside of the mainstream of what you would find once you get into downtown or more large areas/malls.

For the necessities as a traveler, it is nice to have a Target Express nearby. A smaller Target version but they have many of the essentials including a pharmacy and grocery.
