There’s no shortage of nightlife in downtown San Diego, but this doesn’t always mean hitting the clubs and bars. From exciting eateries to comedy clubs and venues, you’ll have no trouble staying busy on the weekends or coming up with something new to do with friends. Whether you’re visiting the area or are thinking about purchasing real estate in Columbia District San Diego, here are six of the best destinations for late night fun in the downtown area.
1. Searsucker
There are plenty of fun eateries in downtown to grab a late-night snack. One of the most popular is Searsucker in the Gaslamp Quarter. Searsucker bills itself as a social dining experience, and it lives up to the hype with a lounge and DJ combined with its signature late-night menu. On Fridays and Saturdays, Searsucker stays open until 1am and serves mouth-watering treats like duck fat fries and Philly meatballs.
2. Field Irish Pub
Let loose and experience something new at the Field Irish Pub in the Gaslamp Quarter.

3. False Idol
If you’re looking for a fun night but a little slower than the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy is the place to be. False Idol is a creative Polynesian-themed speakeasy in Little Italy that will transport you to a tropical destination. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with tropical tunes and festive décor. False Idol is a great place to catch up with friends over a colorful cocktail.
4. Mad House Comedy Club
There’s no better way to let loose and have fun with friends than a late night out at a comedy club.
