Besides the best weather in the country, sunny San Diego has some of the best nightlife that can be found anywhere.

In downtown's Gaslamp Quarter, the beach life meets the city with an array of upscale restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Despite the overall laid-back vibe of San Diego, clubs in the downtown area do require you to dress up a bit, so leave the flip-flops at the beach when heading to this part of town. [more]

San Diego's beach towns are always hopping and along Pacific Beach's Garnet Avenue there are tons of bars and clubs to party at. Reggae music, hip-hop clubs, dive bars and surfer hangouts are in abundance in Pacific Beach. This is a popular night spot for college students and those looking for a younger crowd.

For the hippie bohemian sect, Ocean Beach is the spot to be. This ultra laid-back beach town has great bars and live music, scattered along its main drag, Newport Avenue. Ocean Beach also has a popular Farmer's Market every Wednesday that brings out lots of artists and vendors from throughout San Diego.

San Diego's gay district, Hillcrest, has some of the best dining in the city as well as some popular karaoke bars and dance clubs.

If you want to avoid the rowdy college crowd or the trippy hippie scene, head to the beach towns of La Jolla or Del Mar. These towns have upscale bars and restaurants that cater to more expensive tastes. [less]
