Gaslamp

The heart of downtown since 1850.

Once full of fancy parlors and gambling halls, the Gaslamp Quarter is still a spot for entertainment and nightlife. Enjoy upscale dining, live music and theater, and enticing watering holes in this historic part of downtown. Take in a baseball game, explore the Embarcadero, and relish in that San Diego sunshine!
