The best date night spot in San Diego? If I've taken anybody here, I promise you're special. LJ Crafted Wines. Just a little wine bar in Bird Rock. You can, have some glasses. They're, like, sustainable and stuff. I love Little Italy. No Italy Hall. So many good spots there. You can kinda get drinks, get food. Pomegranate, excellent Russian Georgian cuisine, over off El Cajon Boulevard. I'm a big Tapas guy. Worst Brava and PV. If I've taken you there, you're also very special lady. It's kinda like Spain in San Diego. Sangria's mom, good wine selection. I don't usually go to a restaurant on a first date. I love going to a brewery. There's a great one by my house called Pure Project. Cloak and Pedal, kind of expensive, but maybe around that area is really nice. There's a new nonalcoholic bar. It's called Good News. It's in Normal Heights. They play records. They have cool drinks if you wanna drink. Anywhere my wife wants to go.
