Turning 30 makes you not want to do the things you used to. Suddenly, going out at night is a hassle. Staying in the comfort of your own home and talking without screaming to the person next to you becomes enjoyable. However, turning 30 doesn’t mean you don’t want to go out ever, even in PB. It also doesn’t mean you don’t want to have a good time. In fact, having a good time is more important than ever. The scale has shifted and if I’m going out, it had better be a darn good time. The nice weather has reminded me how much fun it is to go out during the day. There is something special about sitting in the sunlight, feeling the breeze and being around people who are equally as happy to live in San Diego. With that in mind, I’ve narrowed down the best places in PB for day frolicking — and a chance to sip a cool beverage before things get crazy at night: • PB Alehouse: Upstairs partial ocean view with good breezes and solid beer selection. • Lahaina’s: On the sand. The surfers are still wet from their sessions. Be warned — beers are in plastic cups and get warm fast. • Shore Club: Hard to hear the surf over the noise, but it’s not nearly as loud as it gets at night. • Cass Street Bar & Grill: No ocean view, but excellent people watching. Plus the open windows and beach vibe give Cass Street a feeling none of the other spots can match.
