Lucky Bastard Saloon

A few nights ago I was invited to attend the grand opening celebration of Lucky Bastard Saloon,

the newest bar located right in the middle of downtown San Diego. 

The ladies and I had a great time hanging out, cocktails in hand.

I definitely see myself coming back here for an adult beverage or two- 

this place seems like it would be perfect during football season. 

Flatscreen TVs cover every open space on the wall, the drinks are strong, and the food was delish!

Upstairs offers some entertainment options, including free pool, beer pong and shuffleboard.

Oh and fellas, 

in case you're hoping to get lucky, 

I'd say that the employee dress code is a good indication of how your night might turn out....

if you know what I mean.

Bon Affair

How is it possible for the weekends to fly by SO quickly?!

I suppose I don't have too much to complain about..

the weather has been close to perfect in San Diego recently - maybe a smidge too hot,

but not anything that a chilled wine spritzer can't fix.

And boy do I have the perfect potion to cool me down!

A few weeks ago I received the most amazing care package from Bon Affair,

a top shelf, lighter option for California wine. 

Even though I typically prefer a deep red wine over anything light,

I must say, the Sauvignon Blanc I tried out this weekend was just right. 

The crisp taste is reminiscent to Champagne or Prosecco, 

and the fact that it's 100% natural, with no added sugar, 

(translation, this stuff has half the calories of regular wine),

make Bon Affair a no brainer. 

I'm seriously obsessed with their packaging too. 

The simple white and black bottle design is so chic, don't you think?

It's perfect for any occasion.. 

whether you're trying to cool off by the pool, want to impress a hostess at your next dinner party, 

or simply want a delicious, light beverage to sip on before your next night out on the town,

I highly recommend Bon Affair. 

Curious to try it for yourself?

Bon Affair is available for purchase on their site and at select retailers in the San Diego region. 

Please drink responsibly. 

Underground Art Walk

Hi everyone! 

Sorry I've gone MIA again.. 

had to step away from the blog for a while, to visit a little island by the name of Honolulu. 

The tropical getaway was just what I needed,

and now I'm back in full swing and ready to party!

Want to join?

I'll be heading downtown in a few days for another "Thirsty Thursday" session. 

This week, my girlfriend and I are planning to hit up Vin De Syrah,

one of my favorite spots in the Gaslamp,

to check out the Underground Art Walk event. 

I've been on the lookout for a perfect art piece for our living room for quite some time,

so when Lauren Turton, one of the featured artists, contacted me about coming to the event, I couldn't say no.

The show will start at 7 p.m. and will feature art from Lauren (check out some of her images below), and other great artists, 

as well as live music by Maria De La Paz. 

Sounds like it's going to be an amazing night. 

Hope to see you there!

A Great Gatsby Kind of Night

If you follow me on instagram (@inlovewsandiego),

you probably saw that we were out and about again this weekend. 

On Saturday my friends and I got all dressed up for my bestie's Great Gatsby themed birthday celebration. 

We kicked the night off with dinner at Bice,

a super chic Italian restaurant in the center of the Gaslamp district. 

I've been wanting to try this place out for a while,

mainly for their cheese bar and salumi,

and I'm so glad that I got to come here with a large group, because it gave me a chance to sample from everyone's plate.

With the beautiful birthday girl!

Tortellini di Manzo alla Crema di Parmigiano Invecchiato 24 mesi, Prosciutto e Piselli - beef tortellini in a 24 month aged parmesan cheese sauce with green peas and prosciutto

After dinner and a few dirty martinis,

the gang geared up and proceeded to the Pussycat Dollhouse,

where we had a table with a few bottles waiting for us.

We danced into the early morning, and had an overall amazing night. 

How was your weekend?
