Taken from the
LogoOnline.com list of the 50 Best Gay Bars in America... Actually pretty damn cool. We're the only bar listed from San Diego and the write-up pretty much tells it like it is. Last night I had two new faces order drinks - both mentioned the online nod. Thanks David!
Pecs - San Diego, CA
2046 University Avenue; San Diego
http://www.pecsbar.com/ Pecs might be my favorite gay bar in the USA. A group of gay-game industry folk led us out there at San Diego Comic-Con last year, and I was absolutely floored to find myself having a great time. There's a great mix of eye candy (or any other body part that enjoys candy, for that matter) and general acceptance in regards to non-conformity as well as a really sexy, raucous, but still sane atmosphere.
On the surface Pecs isn't that different from The Eagle on Sundays - lots of muscle, beef, and meat in general - but there's an almost frat-house sensibility to the place that really makes it a welcoming, randomly awesome place. Think "Girls Gone Wild" only with a variety of sexy gay types and a seriously laid-back West Coast vibe. Between musclebears and don't-ask-don't-tell young army/marines kids, or between local daddies playing pool and young sun-bronzed Cali boys playing each other, Pecs definitely earns a spot on my map of North American queer hangouts.
