Which city do you guys think has the overall better nightlife? IMO I think San Diego wins by far. San Diego's Gaslamp quarter has a unique vibe to it that I've never experienced before in any other city except perhaps Vegas.

SD has plenty of good stuff going for it definitely...but it's not really in the same league when it comes to nightlife, if you ask me.

Agreed. Ridiculous comparison.

SD has a million things going for it, but its nighlife is not comparable.

San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter is nice, but comparable to Vegas?? C'mon now.

San Diego for the beach bash, SF for a lounge.

One is a city that is basically Military (Marines and Navy) and wealthy retirees and bro's

The other is wealthy venture capitalists and yuppies, and college kids.

For me partying in these cities was a challenge in the sense that it was hard to find a bar where these types of people are not around.

I've actually never experienced the nightlife in SF, even though I've been to the city a few times before, but from reading the SF vs. LA nightlife thread, those two cities have a fair competition. San Diego's Gaslamp district is not bad, especially for the city's otherwise small city feel and laid-back culture, but I wouldn't say it's on the level of LA, and certainly not Vegas.

I grew up in Sf and lived there 20 year. I live in Mission beach san diego now. I love downtown san diego because its very open and laid back, not alot of people running around, hardly any traffic, easy parking, cheap food. but there is also about half as much stuff to do as there is in and AROUND the city. In SF itself theres enough to do, but cross a bridge and ull end up doing something uve never seen before. You gotta put in work tho it wont just come to you.

its diffferent tho. I mean here in Sd there is alot of great BARS by the beach and great place to eat and drink ur booze, skoke ur chronic whatever. but if u want like a serious club/ new york vibe with a lot nicer people than those dick head new yorkers than Sf is it. If u wanna go get super smashed and end up on the beach drunk as ****, then SD. also, take note. VERY conservative down here in sd, and much cheaper i would say.

Having been to SF many times, I wasn't too impressed with the gay nightlife there. Outside of that, I've been to Ruby Sky and thought it was pretty good.

I've heard San Diego is a Sausage Kingdom.

I suppose so is SF, but for obviously different reasons.

As a heterosexual male, I choose San Francisco.
