Gaslamp Quarter
A Victorian historic district downtown, with restaurants, bars, nightclubs and rooftop bars across 16 blocks, the heart of San Diego's nightlife.
The Gaslamp Quarter grew out of the late-19th-century “New Town.” Its streets preserve many Victorian commercial buildings and vintage gas street lamps, and the archway at the Fifth Avenue entrance is its landmark. By day you can explore the historic buildings and the Gaslamp Museum (William Heath Davis House); at night the restaurants and bars are packed, especially on weekends. It sits next to Petco Park and the convention center, so during baseball games or comic conventions the area is crowded and hotels are pricier.
