The Tower Bar! Authentic humans populating every corner before and behind the bar. Exactly the kind of space Into which I love to dive. Except for that one guy who refused to give us his real name because he was "about to be too famous". Seriously. He said that. This is not his bar. But then ... Karaoke with Goldilox ROX! We heard a surprisingly touching Prince tribute and then chimed in with a skinny white girl blues thang that left the patrons nonplussed in their desire for relatable expressions. Whatever. We'll do it again and again until they realize they've been starved for the artistic pain of loss and the joy of...

It's a great dive/punk bar! The night I was there there was a really cool all girl band from San Francisco playing. They really had a great energy which really got the rest of the place really going. Heather was the bartender that night and she is super awesome. She is super quick and no one had to wait for a drink. My husband said she looked like she had 8 arms making drinks like an octopus. 😆 🐙 They also had a taco guy there that night that just added to the fun! I meant to get a sweatshirt but I just that means I'll have to go back again soon! Mainly on a Friday night so Heather can be my...

Landmark dive bar in City Heights! DJ was killer, she was playing fun new wave eighties stuff with lots of b-sides. Really head-bobbingly good and at the right levels. We were there on a Saturday night. I enjoyed the cherry limeade, like a less sweet dirty Shirley. Love that an artist was there selling his beautiful screen prints. Our good friend just moved to the neighborhood,...

The Tower bar is a historic San Diego dive. It’s literally a tower! Pretty cool exterior aesthetic. This place is divey as hell but it has soul. They’ve got a good beer selection and have a lot of live music, usually harder rock and punk bands. It’s not the most modern or comfortable place but it’s got history, vibes, and a solid bar.

Dive bar work of art. Small dimly lit with stuff all over the walls, a few booths, and movies playing on the TV. Decent beer selection and cheap drinks with a few speciality drinks. Sometimes live music. You'll love it if you love dive bars and/or the punk/metal scene.

If you're looking for: local and traveling bands, an iconic San Diego venue, beer and Absinthe then come on down to the local watering hole known as The Tower Bar. As grimey and punk rock as it gets so deal with it you baby.
