Wednesday Happy Hours
Twilight in the Park @ Balboa Park (Banker's Hill)
May 13, 2010
Written by Molly

If you are looking for a relaxing way to end your work day then head to Twilight in the Park at in the gorgeous outdoor Spreckles Organ Pavilion. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening from June 15th to August 26th from 6:15pm to 7:15pm enjoy music under the stars from an array of bands... from Dixieland Jazz to Rock n' Roll. Entry is free of charge.

Compliment this concert with a picnic in the park (alcohol is actually allowed on the premise until 8pm- just no glass) or a double Happy Hour at the Prado adjacent to the Pavilion (4pm to 6pm and then again from 8pm to 10pm in the bar- great deals and free hummus!)

Wine Steals Wine Bar is such a hit that they have expanded all over San Diego... and each time we go check out a new location we love that one better than the last! Whether it's the outdoor patio overlooking the golf course in Point Loma, the outdoor patio overlooking the ocean in Cardiff, the rooftop bar in East Village, or the eclectic crowd in Hillcrest... you can't go wrong! Every Wednesday, the Point Loma and Cardiff Wine Steals locations host a themed wine tasting from 5:30pm to 7pm for only $5 (unless otherwise specified.)

 
Wine Wednesdays & Live Music @ En Fuego (Del Mar)
January 18, 2010
Written by Molly

The English translation of "En Fuego" is "crazy Del Mar party!" Or maybe it means "on fire."  And this place is on fire because it consistently has a spicy scene. It feels like a treehouse because its open-air wooden staircase leads down to a great outdoor patio.  En Fuego is a must for night life in Del Mar during those mild So Cal evenings.

On Wednesdays enjoy 20% - 50% off select wines all night accompanied by acoustic music at 7:30pm.

The Pearl Hotel is a revamped old-school hotel that is truly the "Pearl" of Point Loma.  On Wednesday nights The Pearl Hotel presents "Dive-In Theatre!"  It's a FREE "cinema social" with eclectic film selections and specials on food and drinks. You can watch from the restaurant or the poolside lounge.  The films are projected onto a 10' x 13' foot projection screen with a sound system.  The films include classics, blockbusters, foreign films, and independent projects.  The show starts at 8pm and the bar is open until midnight.  Make reservations to gaurantee seating in the restaurant or in a cabana (6-8 people).  Or, bring your bathingsuit and watch from the pool!

Come early and enjoy the 3-4-5 Happy Hour which includes $3 beer, $4 well drinks, and $5 wines from 5pm - 7pm.  Enjoy amazing appetizer specials as well.

 
Ladies Night @ Burgundy (La Jolla)

While Twitter and Facebook are great ways to share a warm greeting or to spread good news, they have become our sole means of maintaining friendships.  Have we forgotten the rejuvenating quality of hours spent gossiping with our B.F.F.'s over a bottle of wine?  Welcome to Ladies Night therapy!  On Wednesday nights, Burgundy Grill & Wine Bar hosts Ladies Night from 7pm - 9pm with 1/2 price wine by the glass- a great way to get you through your week.  Burgundy is so charming with its white lights and wine flights... especially if you cozy up to a heat lamp on their patio!

Sick of staring at your work computer?  Leave an hour early and head to Happy Hour at Mosaic Wine Bar in North Park!  On Wednesdays from 4pm - 6pm they have five wine tastings for $7... a regional selection picked by their in-house sommelier.  Also enjoy a complimentary pizza appetizer and $5 select glasses of wine.

Mosaic has also just opened a double level art gallery in the back of the bar... so now you can indulge in art as well!
