5 Best Dive Bars near Solana Beach

“We LOVE this bar! Everyone we know has a life-changing story that took place in this iconic bar. The staff is so friendly, the guests are charming and the drinks are cheap. Can you ask for anything more? Oh yeah! It’s literally a block from the beach.“

“The Leucadian is the kind of dive bar you rarely find anymore — and that’s what makes it great. It’s laid-back, unpretentious, and full of character. The drinks are strong, the music is solid, and the regulars and bartenders make you feel right at home. Whether you're catching a game, playing pool, or just hanging out with friends, it’s always a good time.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a true local vibe in Encinitas.“

“My favorite place in North County San Diego. The nachos are to die for“

“9/9/24 bartender (i think) Drew, was awesome and the best. gave me some recommendations on drinks for someone who is new to drinking. super nice and sweet. gave my friend a sparkler for her bday and put on a bday song. found out i like white claw because of him <3“

“Reviews are ridiculous and from people who are disrespectful and unaware. My Roommates and I go down here at least one or twice a month and every time have a great experience. If you are respectful the bartenders and staff are more than friendly and welcoming. Bar gets packed on weekend nights but staff does a great job at keeping up. If you want cheap drinks and fun games this is the place to go!!!!!!“
