OBrien's in San Diego is a must -- it's at the corner of Convoy and
Opportunity, not too far from downtown -- there are about 20 taps which
usually feature west coast craft brews and a few belgians -- the bottled
beer selection is excellent. It's an enjoyable atmosphere with big,
comfortable chairs and good food although a side trip to just about any of
the asian eateries in walking distance is a good idea -- my personal
recommendations would be Pho Convoy (directly across convoy st. -
Vietnamese) or the Dumpling Inn (across Convoy and about 100 yards south
-- Chinese) -- both are places we go regularly. If I only had time to go
to one bar in San Diego to sample West Coast beers, OBrien's would be it
as they usually have most of the world class award winning beers from
Oggi's, Pizza Port, Alesmith, Russian River, Alpine, etc. on draft.
