2025 I am Reviewing this place So far so good here one my favorite places here in San Diego for more than 30 years here in Livewire since then! just for chilling 🌶 and relaxing 😌 for drinks 🍸 while watching 80s especially like horror movies! And enjoying with your from pizza Luigi 🍕🤘🏻 while your drinking very cool place. And Cool service. Recommended 5 star✨️😎

If I could give this place a 10/5, I absolutely would. Amazing little (dog friendly) dive with a super friendly staff (looking at you, Thaddeus and Carly) - AND they carry Jeppson's Malort! If you're not coming here, you're doing the wrong things in San Diego. Seriously.

A go to after bartending chill spot of mine. Infamous San Diego dive bar atmosphere yet with an awesome beer list which often includes Russian River Pliny. Hang out of musicians too. Great place to play pool as well. Very Recommended, just don't take my seat.

Live Wire is a hidden gem tucked away in the neighborhood, and if you're into the laidback, dark, and grungy dive bar vibe, this place is a must-visit. One of the things that struck me immediately was the ambiance – it's unpretentious, cozy, and gives off that perfect dive bar feel. The heavy pours here are legendary, and what's even better is that it won't break the bank. This place is one of the few in the area where you can actually enjoy your drinks without feeling like your wallet's on a diet.

One thing that sets Live Wire apart is that it's an affordable neighborhood bar that doesn't discriminate against cashless folks – a rarity these days. It's a small space but always filled with a fun-loving crowd, and the music they play adds to the lively environment. Plus, the fact that it's right next to Luigi's pizza is a double win. Live Wire is a fantastic place to hang out, whether you're unwinding after a long day or looking for a low-key night out. If you're in the neighborhood, I'd definitely recommend swinging by for a drink or two – or...

I would give this place a zero but I can't. Went in after work to grab a drink with some friends. I got there first and the bartender told me he would be back in just a few minutes. He helped quite a few people. I figured its busy they were here first. Then people that just got there walked right up to the bar and he stayed talking their order. So when he came my way I asked if I could get a drink. And that ice been waiting for 15 minutes. He then Alex if I've ever been to a bar before. I told home I have been to a lot of bars and they never make me wait limber than 5 minutes. So he wanted me to leave so I told him to go f himself I didn't want to give them my money anyway after all that. Don't go here especially if the jackass with the gross...

Dark neighborhood bar. Caters to the rock, metal and punk crowd but not exclusively that. They got pretty solid old school jux box with mainly punk, ska, metal and rock. Tall boy PBR is 5 bucks. Open smoking front patio.

Pool table only 50 cents. Buck Hunter and pin ball machine in case your date really sucks.

Good bar to party at after I see a show at brick by brick or the observatory here in Diego.

Parking is on Street. After 10 pm I park at the strip mall where 7-11 is and dominos. Never had a issue and its only a block away. Parking can be had closer if your lucky on Street. Liquor store next door for when you just ain't ready to quit after...
