Bars and nightclubs have always been a favorite meeting spot for queer folk, where dim lighting and free flowing alcohol helped to ease inhibitions in the dismal days before one could be out and proud. It’s no coincidence, then, that the seminal event widely regarded as the origin of LGBTQ activism, the Stonewall Riots, began in a bar. While most of San Diego’s queer nightlife still centers around Hillcrest, neighborhoods like North Park, University Heights, and beyond are emerging as havens for gay-friendly bars and clubs as well, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t venture out of your comfort zone and try someplace new.
