Bourbon Street (Closed Permanently)

(96 Ratings)
The place to see and be seen
On a busy weekend night you'll find Bourbon Street packed with a mostly younger crowd. The "stand and model" crowd feels a little more like L.A., but much friendlier. Video monitors throughout show eye candy. The outdoor patio is reminiscent of its namesake and the upstairs pool room is a great way to escape for a quiet conversation.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Over the past 20 years, perhaps no gay bar in San Diego has changed as much as Bourbon Street (while remaining a gay bar throughout the changes). Over time, the slightly remodeled but still primarily French Quarter-inspired interior bar and back patio have alternated between sleepy dive, piano lounge, sweaty dance club, lesbian tea dance, and now restaurant/bar (adding "...Bar & Grill" to the bar's name). There's a less-used upstairs bar/deck with a great view of the patio below. Even when Bourbon Street is dead, it's within a stroll of 2 other gay establishments (upscale Lei Lounge and down-home Cheers) as well as the gay-friendly alternative club Lancer's and many similar eateries/coffee shops, making this part of University Heights a mini-gayborhood similar to Hillcrest or North Park.
