Consistently rated as one of the friendliest neighborhood bars in San Diego, it takes a little effort to find us, and that’s just how we like it. A nondescript entrance makes you question if you’re in the right place, but once inside, you are. It's the place where good decisions are often put on pause.

HISTORY (skip this if you're already bored)
Previously dubbed the “19th Hole” due to its proximity to the Sail Ho Golf Club, the bar sits in a depression dug in the early 1900's to access an aqueduct that ran between Mission Bay (then called False Bay) and San Diego Bay. A speakeasy during Prohibition, with a chicken shack next door and green lawn for picnicking, this off-beat location became a safe space for San Diego’s gay community in the 1940’s. We honor this important history as the home of San Diego's original Sunday Funday, featuring our famous Flaco burgers.

WHAT'S ON OFFER
Throughout the week, we have become a bar with no label, a space for people looking for something a little less ordinary.

We offer karaoke on Thursday, Friday and the occasional Saturday night, with organized musical events on some Saturdays. Check out our calendar (Steven: please link to calendar here) Our monthly trivia is curated and hosted by a long time patron with a giant brain and a great sense of humor.

On Fridays we have table pong alongside our karaoke. It's a great space for large parties with outdoor fire pits surrounded by the largest outdoor smoking patio in San Diego, we make sure you are never at a loss to find someone to interact with, or a place to sit undisturbed. You’ll always get a good drink at a good price.

What truly makes us great are our patrons. We sponsor a number of local sports teams who join us monthly for our special Bingo fundraising with door prizes.

With over a dozen different beers on tap featuring local breweries as well as our own house specialty cocktails, The Hole in the Wall is a dive bar that's well worth searching out. Come on by and have a drink with us.
