Imperial House: 505 Kalmia St., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 234-3525 Website: http://www.imperialhouse.net/
After 3 & a half decades of service this is one of San Diego's last bastions of Traditional Continental Cuisine. They're famous for their Old World service, classic dishes (such as Imperial Pepper Steak, the Fresh Seafood Platter, Mock Turtle Soup a l'Anglaise, and Rack of Lamb), and tableside flambés for classic dishes like Steak Diane & Cherries Jubilee. Or you can sink back in one of their red leather chairs in the Lounge & listen to the piano player.

Bully's East: 2401 Camino Del Rio S., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 291-2665 Website: http://www.bullyssandiego.com/
From it's beautiful dark wood barback, to it's Prime Rib, to it's Seafood and Surf & Turf combos, this location's been a San Diego institution for about as long as the Imperial House. There's also a Bully's del Mar (1404 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, Ca. Phone: (858) 755-1660), and a Bully's La Jolla (5755 La Jolla Blvd., La Jolla, Ca. Phone: (858) 459-0663) with much the same menu if you are in their neighborhoods.

Red Fox Room: 2223 El Cajon Blvd., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 297-1313
In the Lafayette/Inn Suites Hotel. This is one of The Jabs favorite San Diego Piano Bars, I haven't been there, but I believe the menu's supposed to be of the solid Steak & Baked Potato style, and the drinks are strong & inexpensive.

Albie's Beef Inn: 1201 Hotel Cir S (at the Travelodge), SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 291-1103
More classic dark wood & red leather, and in business for 40+ years! You might come for the Steak, you might come for the double well drink happy hour, heck you might come for the gilt framed nudes on the walls, but do stay for the Piano Bar.

Hob Nob Hill : 2271 First Ave., Sd, Ca. Phone: (619) 239-8176
Homestyle Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner served since 1944. Waitresses in uniforms with aprons freshen your coffee when you need it while serving you Waffles, Omlettes & Pancakes, Chicken & Dumplings, Turkey Croquettes, Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes, and all breads & muffins are baked on the premises. What's not to like?

Turf Supper Club: 1116 25th St., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 234-6363
You cook your own Steaks, Chops & Kabobs on the central comunal grill while listening to the piano players (Sundays from 7-Mid.) or playing something nice from the Sinatra stocked juke box. The drinks are strong, the dance floor tiny, and there's open flames in the middle of the room, what's not to like?

Pacific Shores: 4927 Newport Ave., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 223-7549
"Walking into this small, dim bar is like stepping into a giant underwater aquarium -- filled with extremely hip fish." An underwater mural faces a long, curving bar with comfortable swiveling stools and lit by dark blue neon while '40s & '50s standards play on the jukebox. If you tend toward pick-up lines, leave the horoscope ones at home. Here, baby, everyone is a Pisces.

The Lamplighter: 817 W. Washington, SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 298-3624
A classic old style tavern, full of regulars who are full of booze, updated with a Karaoke machine. You can get loaded & sing "Son of a Son of a Sailor." Not that I would, but you could if you like, and I mean thaty in the best possible way.

Lancer's Cocktail Lounge: 4671 Park Blvd., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 298-5382
Stop in at this tavern and you can sit at the long padded bar, play pool, or relax in one of it's couchettes. Little has changed in here since it's opened back in the '60s except some of the records have worn out in the jukebox & been replaced and the smokers now have to go outside.

Nunu's Cocktail Lounge: 3537 Fifth Ave., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 295-2878
Looking like something the Rat Pack dragged in is a good thing here. The barstools could hold up Jackie Gleason at his booziest, the round booths lining the walls are made of button-riveted, industrial-strength naugahyde, and the fireplace looks like it belongs in an Old School Tahoe Snow Bunny lodge.

The Whistle Stop: 2236 Fern St., SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 284-6784
With a good selection of Beer & Cider on tap, a train station theme, an indoor smoking area, and dogs always are welcome, what more do you need? How about Kick the Reverb and his band like to play there? That's good enough for me.

Hong Kong Nite Club:1030 Broadway, SD, Ca. Phone: (619) 239-4798
A classic Dive Bar that is not only not a Night Club, it has nothing to do with Hong Kong! With 2 Pool tables, cheap drinks, and a jukebox that runs the gamut from Led Zeppelin to Patsy Cline, this is a good place to start or finish a night of bar hopping.

China Inn: 877 Hornblend St, San Diego, Ca. Phone: (858) 483-6680
Ric, Monica & Elinor Widmer's favorite place. Deep, Red Naugahyde booths, real Chinese food Cheap (as opposed to Cheap Chinese food. Check out the Peking Duck for $20), and strong tropical drinks make it great for Date Night.
Red Sails Inn: 2614 Shelter Island Dr., San Diego, Ca. Phone: (619) 223-3030 Website: http://www.theredsails.com/

Old-School Nautical Decor, a back patio with a view of the San Diego "fishing fleet," and serves Seafood centric Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner menus. Ultra Casual; it's the kind of place where you can walk off your boat in shorts, t-shirt & flip-flops and sit down to a Crab Benedict for Breakfast, Fish & Chips for Lunch, or a Lobster Newburg Dinner. Service can vary, and sometimes food quality can, too, a good bet on the menu are any of the multitude of fried shellfish.
