Lively lovely downtown districts - one of the best in the United States of America! Old red light district converted now into an eclectic blend of cafes strip bars breakfast joints pubs and bars! A stones throw from the convention centre and the business district as well as the harbour front hotels. Evenings are particularly fun!

Lunch special during the day are quite decent and s lot of restaurants offer them. This section of the city leading to the convention center has a lot of galleries showcasing the best of San Diego. Wait for the evening for an even livelier atmosphere where gastropubs and restaurant facades will knock you off your feet.

Really hard to get parking but other than that this place is lit! The best bars and restaurants in San Diego is here. As I got there during Comic Con season, the roads were closed and the crowd was huge, most of the restaurants here are wheelchair friendly and the price for the food and drinks are reasonable.

Lovely place. When in San Diego, there are quite a few good restaurants to try. The atmosphere around is relaxed and worth going around with family!!! We came across joyful riders and it was pleasant to see them

Great food. Beautiful place to visit

Way way cool, lots of fun and lots of crazy characters at night during comic con! Very family friendly and lots of people having a great time.

This area is busy with food and drink places. All different options . A definite.musr see for a night out in San Diego. There a tons of the pedi bike drivers around this area. Something we did but wouldnt do on another visit. Similar to a ride in central Park in NY, one time is enough.. but fun area.

Awesome place to chill, have fun, dine & go out & about

Happy place to spend a night in San Diego. Stroll through the Main Street of Gaslamp quarters and click a picture with the iconic glass lamp sign!!! Lot of pubs and restaurants to explore around

Loved the place. I went on a Sunday so probably not the best time to visit since places were shutting down at 9:30 pm. Lots of different cuisines ranging from Mexican, Indian, Peruvian, American, Italian. They even have a speakeasy bar which looked pretty good.

Nobody is there just empty tables on the street because of covid 19

Great comic Con off-site location

Lots fun to be had here. Scooters to get around, tons of spots to eat and drink, people watch, ocean is super close by.

Great place to start all over again fresh start

Clubs, pubs, friday night.. want to enjoy... come here ...

A must see in San Diego! Conveniently located next to the convention center and trolley.

Lots of ok food nothing super great very little retail or to do

Good place to party and eat! I went on a Sunday night, lots of restaurants and clubs were opened. It was very crowded. I rented a scooter and went all the way to the end of the strip. The convention center is a good spot for picture taking.

This was a blast. So much down in that section. Old world style, National Geographic, the baseball stadium, Balboa Theatre, and more! BIRD scooters are everywhere, so theres not even a need to walk if you so desire. This area connects to the greater train system to link you to stops such as San Ysidro, Mission Valley, Fashion Valley, Old Town, and even the University.

Beautiful, historic,alive,restaurants and bars, shopping, vibrant nightlife, vendors on Sundays, fun for families ! Very nice walk from the convention center to Broadway at Horton Plaza fountain!

If youre visiting San Diego, you have to stop by the Gaslamp Quarter. There are so many restaurants, bars, stores and experiences to see here. Its a historic city, so throughout there are small historical points to read about. The park behind the convention center is beautiful too. If youre here in mid-July, youre in for a treat, Comic con. You dont need badges to enjoy. The fun is all throughout the Gaslamp Quarter.

Me and my husband visited Gas Lamp quarters 3 times, this time it was for the Bowl parade ! It was wonderful experience. Everytime we go we venture to a new restaurant and must visit to Ghirardelli.

Nice area. Not much happening, but did see some souvenir shops and restaurants. Love Bubs and I want to go back and try the tapas restaurant. Need to build it up again with window-shopping stores and other eclectic things.

Great place to walk around and explore all the shops and restaurants!

Very busy in the weekend with youngsters showing off. Great atmosphere and energy but watch your bag.

Place to have fun and food

The neighborhood can be improved with More retail and less restaurant, would be even more great to spend time There if there would be a better walking arena with less traffic. its a nightmare to go out there in the weekend because the traffic.There are lesser reason to go in gaslam also during the week or the day because there are only restaurants

Its a lot of fun.walking and hanging out no homeless camped out all over.real nice get away.

Great very walkable tourist downtown. Locals populate the venues, keeping it real. Restaurants, shops, dance clubs, hotels, and bars galore plus a major league baseball stadium are the anchors. The transit station on Broadway (adjacent to the Gaslamp) accesses the trolleys, Amtrak and Metro commuter trains along with bus routes. And as of this writing, those app-driven electric scooters and bikes are literally scattered about, so even walking is optional. Like nearly all California cities, homeless tents are strewn about here too, but the inhabitants are at least currently not as militant as say those in say San Francisco. Once youre done, eating, drinking, clubbing, and shopping, a bus or train can whisk you away to the beautiful Balboa Park and Zoo area or the oceanfront Embarcadero in minutes. Always a fantastic visit whether Im bringing kids, adults, or just myself.

Such a fun part of San Diego!!

Wonderful place to walk around and lots of food and drink choices.

Gaslamp quater has lots of eateries.Cigar bars are quite popularWith a great ambience and trendy crowd.You experience many people and everyone enjoying themselves.Most venues close at 2am and if still open no alcohol is served

Comic-Con time with thousands of people and fun characters!! We Love this time of the year! Fun, lots of enjoyment and thanks for the trolley!!

Vibrant and thriving. One of the places to visit in downtown. Weekends get crazy with all the lively bars and pubs.

One of my favorite places to visit! Great bars, clubs and restaurants! Crazy packed for ComicCon weekend. Gaslamp reminds me of a bigger, more lively Downtown SLO or a modern Bourbon Street!

The entertainment district downtown San Diego. Lots of restaurants and bars, great to check out during the day and night.

So much to do and so much fun!! Cant wait to come back. Side note all the hotels and restaurants are a bit high in price about $30 a plate, but they offer a bit of everything g for everyone.

Nice area, but even better in the evening.

Super dope always have a good time out here.

Lots of different bars and cool little shops.

Historical Gaslamp area lots of fun wandering the streets.

The Gaslamp is always fun to visit whether you are a tourist or you live here theres a lot of good sites just walking around and perfect for people watching.

Best club scene in southern California! You can hop from bar to bar and finish the night at any of the great restaurants in the area.

A lovely vibe to this part of town, plenty of places to eat & drink.

Always fun to go to. Lots of lights and always a good bar to go to but for the love of insurance please uber

An absolutely wonderful place and a mandatory stop if youre visiting SD.

I love this place during Comic Con. So much fun and excitement!

Historic Gaslamp Quarter is a Must See when visiting San Diego. Fantastic bars and restaurants, cool unique shopping, beautiful architecture.

Its nice except for Comic Com Nothing I could get for free

We have stayed down here a few times love the the many restaurants and Petco park all within walking distance great place to visit dont recommend little children at night

Fun! But too young for me. Definitely a 30 and younger crowd.

A great place for anyone who is touring San Diego, or even residents. There are a variety of restaurants, shops and bars that line the historic streets. There are also a lot of hotels and inns to choose from as well.

Great atmosphere would highly recommend going on foot.

Almost European style restaurant area with lots of places to eat and bars in a small area.

So many fun things to do with fantastic restaurants and bars. I recommend going to The Blind Burro, Juan Tequila and of course Rockin Baja Lobster.

Great people watching lots of shops bars, and restaurants

Always a fun place to go...whether you want to walk around, grab a bite to eat or a drink. Yes you can even shop.

Really nice downtown. Not like most American cities its very laid back and not constalty buzzing.

Barleymash the best place in the Gaslamp Quarter, top of the line food & at 10:00 P.M. the place starts ROCKING, it becomes the best night club around. I Mark Piszczek gives it 5 stars, & if I could Id give it more.

Great spot to take a family pic ;)

Great place to go.....so much fun.

Lots of Historic buildings and interesting shops. Lots of pretty girls in the night club scene. Lots of homeless and wackos around. Lots of photo ops.

This hole area (between 4th and 6th street starting at broadway and going down to the pier) is an absolute trainwreck at best theres 2 maybe 3 places worth checking out but most of it is expensive tasteless garbage and some of it is so bad that the stores dont stay for long. Its mostly overly hyped up expensive bars/restaurants, dumpy/shady clubs, overpriced knockoffs/novelty stores, a few hole in the wall pawnshops, and a mix of hotels and hostels (which includes the Hard Rock) aside from the previous mentioned hotel there are a couple of places worth checking out such as the Ghirardelli store and the movie theater ( which was recently put under new management and turned into a candy store/theater). All in all though its definitely not even close to the most interesting part of downtown even Comic-Con hasnt been able to save it the last like 3 years most people just go down to the bay or hangout in the convention center area

Downtown San Diego s Hip & Happening Entertainment District- Just off the Convention center.

Just fun to walk around for the entire family.

This is a very lively part of Downtown San Diego. It was visibly animated because of the influx of people to the area especially during my visit. I lodge within the quarters and so it was possible to gauge the activities within the quarters. A lot of bars and shops are located within it. Many of the shops will not close until around midnight. Aso live music and dance are daily activities here. Strategically, it is walking distance to the San Diego Convention Center which is one of the largest convention center within the country.

Love walking the Gaslamp District. So many unique places and always a good crowd.

Great place to walk and find great restaurants.

Went for a girls trip.....we loved it!

Nice people. So many things to do!

Best place to party, eat and meet people.

I have seen a declined over the years. Homeless people, filthy streets. Not what it used to be !

Lot of good restaurants but homeless people are everywhere. Some are unsafe to be near by.

Tipsy Crow is a great place fun great food and great staff

Fun fun fun! I was there for ComicCon!

Fun neighborhood, especially during ComicCon.

Best place to hang out downtown

I love that place, great bars, restaurants etc.,

San Diego best part. Night and day party.

The gaslamp quarter is a better area than where my family temporarily live.

Nice place to walk and enjoy the atmosphere and good food

The Gaslamp Quarter has many great restaurants and different venues going on!

Such great restaurants and bars, too bad there are homeless everywhere you look. Not as clean as it could be.

Restaurants are all of a good standard but shops are fairly limited and there are a lot of homeless people some of which can behave a bit unusually at times.

Good place to go party and to grab a beer to

Gaslamp Quarter is so lively! Highly recommend any visitors to San Diego to stop by Gaslamp, especially during the night.

Definitely a tourist trap but worth seeing. Many shops and restaurants to fit all your shopping / foodie needs.

Huge selection of places to rest. Fun environment.

The best is the ambient of the stadium, such a cool place!

Quiet place during the week but buzzling at the weekend

Really good space to hang out

Awesome City

Wow, that place has really improved over the last 13 years.

I was expecting an absolute tourist trap, but I was pleasantly surprised. There is a gift shop at the entrance, but prices inside were reasonable. The restaurants were our reason for visiting though. We ate a UNION Tap, Mickeys, Mary Janes, Rockin Baja Lobster, and Chocolat Cremerie; and we enjoyed them all. If you only have time for one try Rockin Baja Lobster. There is also quite a bit of shopping. Mostly chain stores, but a few boutiques worth a browse. Even if you arent a fan a wine or liquor give Wine Bank a tour if only for the unique layout. Think Olivanders wand shop from Harry Potter, but for adults.

Very nice, we love it!

Cool area downtown san diego.

You have it all on 5th. Restaurants, shopping and you never know who you might see.

Lots of really fun places to eat and shop!

Not a San Diego fan but theres some kewl little places
