event guide
BUB’S AT THE BALLPARK is our addition to the historical honors of downtown San Diego, East Village and Petco Park. Embracing both history and the growing traditions of America’s Finest City, Bub’s was constructed from using various architectural salvage throughout the West coast, including reclaimed wood, scrap metal and reused brick. Bub’s is a place where locals and visitors alike enjoy one-of-a-kind entertainment and food.
With over 40 TVs, we’re the perfect place to catch any game. Relax and sip drinks at one of the community tables or our giant circle bar. With 32 beers on tap and full bar, there’s a lil’ something for everyone. Feeling hungry? Indulge in some of our famous crispy Tater Tots or Backyard Grilled Wings. In 1998, in Pacific Beach, “Another’s Man’s Stupid Idea of Fun” – The original Bub’s was first opened. Bub’s expanded this “idea” to Downtown, San Diego in 2011 and has been apart of the local community ever since.
