Where to Eat, Drink & Play on a Bachelor / Bachelorette Weekend in San Diego
@barbusasd
While Las Vegas, Austin, and Nashville may take the cake for the country’s top Bachelor and Bachelorette party destinations, San Diego’s abundance of bars, restaurants, and activities makes it a destination you don’t want to sleep on for that “final fling before the ring.” We know the planning process may be tricky. To help Maid of Honors, Best Men, and those tasked with putting together the parties, we’ve rounded up some of the best dining, drinking, and activities to ensure the whole wedding party can have a blast before the big day.
Dining
The Presley
The Presley, located in Liberty Station, is the perfect place to kick off any bachelor/ette weekend. With expansive outdoor patio, large marble tables, fire pits, couches, and swing seating, The Presley has ample space to accommodate large groups, making it an ideal location to gather the whole wedding party. Whether you’re looking to get bach and boozy at brunch, or you want to enjoy a casual evening of drinks and bites by the firepit, The Presley is sure to kickstart the festivities.
Puesto
No one knows how to throw a final fiesta before the big day quite like Puesto, and with outposts in La Jolla, Mission Valley, and Seaport Village, Puesto makes for the perfect spot for a night out with your wedding crew. Indulge in elevated Mexican fare, including Puesto’s award-winning tacos, ceviches, and snacks and shares, along pitchers of margaritas, craft cocktails, house-brewed beer, and flight of Mezcal and Tequila flights, before a night out.
Sipping
Moonshine Flats
If you want a taste of Nashville without flying all the way to Tennessee for your Bachelor/ette party, Moonshine Flats is the perfect place for you and your friends to break out your boots and hit the dance floor. Downtown San Diego’s go-to place to let loose, Moonshine Flats is where traditional honky-tonk meets contemporary dance club. Take center stage in the dancing cage, throw back a shot on Moonshine’s infamous spinning chair, or go all out with bottle service – there’s no shortage of activities at the Flats. If your group is celebrating closer to the beach, be sure to check out Moonshine Flats’ sister concept, Moonshine Beach, located in Pacific Beach.
Madison on Park
If the woman/man of the hour is craving a true hand-crafted cocktail, look no further than Madison on Park. Located in San Diego’s University Heights neighborhood, Madison is a lounge and eatery with a Mediterranean and Southern California inspired menu. This neighborhood gem is known for their specialty cocktails, and doubles as a go-to weekend brunch spot with an eclectic array of Mimosas and a cocktail menu created specifically for brunch.
Pali Wine Co.
Serving as an extension of the family-owned winery, Pali Wine Co.’s outpost in the heart of bustling Little Italy is an effortlessly cool spot to enjoy a Central Coast wine experience. Come for brunch or dinner, grab a glass before heading out on the town, or book a private party on the rooftop or in the backyard for a personalized bach party experience. Known for their creative natural wines and acclaimed estate grown varieties, Pali has something for everyone.
