Top Christmas Bars in San Diego, CA
Snow? No thanks. In San Diego, it’s palm trees wrapped in Christmas lights and beachside bars blasting Feliz Navidad. The top Christmas bars in San Diego are big on kitsch with tiki Santas, frozen eggnog, and rooftop heaters in the Gaslamp. North Park is quirky. La Jolla brings the best views. And a bunch of spots stay open for Christmas Day cocktails. Whether you’re planning a laid-back party or something flashier, Tagvenue helps you find the best fit fast. Small crew or big bash, we’ve got the space. You just worry about getting the ugly sweaters ready.
