Things To Do For A Bachelorette Party In San Diego
Party It Up In The Gaslamp Quarter
Every San Diego bachelorette party getaway should include a visit to the Gaslamp Quarter, a vibrant nightlife hub.
This district comprises 94 historic buildings transformed into an array of boutique bars, high-end clubs, and fancy restaurants. Perfect for a night out with the girl squad.
Before the party starts, dine at one of the many international eateries in the area. From Butcher’s Cut Steakhouse to Saltwater Seafood Restaurant, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Altitude Sky Lounge never disappoints for a cocktail or two to get the party going. Plus, their Sunset Happy Hour provides excellent value. Check out our other recommendations for fun rooftop bars in San Diego here.
For a bit of a boogie later in the night, a local favorite is the Onyx Room.
Go For A Wine Tasting
Wine tasting is always a good idea for a girls weekend in San Diego. Much of the day tours run to either Guadalupe Valley in Mexico or Temecula.
Guadalupe Valley
Guadalupe Valley is one of Mexico’s most important wine regions, over 90% of the country’s wine comes from here. It’s pretty easy to do a day trip across the border. Upon doing so, you’ll discover some adorable wineries and vineyards.
The valley is located two hours south of San Diego. The drive is quiet, without much to see, until suddenly you creep between rolling hills, surrounding lush green wine estates.

Boasting almost 50 wineries, the region produces some of the country’s most flavorful wines, including big name Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.
You could easily take a self guided tour with a car rental, but to truly experience the best vino, you should organize a tour with a local guide.

Coronado Island has some of the finest beaches in all of California, from the dramatic Coronado Central Beach spread along Ocean Boulevard to the lovely Silver Strand State Beach.
But since it’s your bachelorette party, you may as well go all out. Treat yourselves to a day at the historic Hotel Del Coronado with direct access to Coronado Beach.
They allow visitors to rent sun loungers and umbrellas. Plus, you can order a nice bottle of bubbly at the bar to enjoy along with the California sunshine.
Go For Hike
Brush off the hangover by heading off on a hike. You know the fresh air will do you some good.
There are some delightful spots in San Diego to enjoy the great outdoors and some downtime during your girls weekend.
One in particular is Torrey Pines. This 2,000 acre natural reserve is situated in the affluent neighborhood of La Jolla and provides a range of trails to suit all levels of fitness. An easy one for the whole group is Guy Fleming Trail. Read about the best hikes in Torrey Pines here.
Spa and Wellness Day at Glen Ivy Hot Springs
Residing in the Temescal Valley, the Glen Ivy Hot Springs Resort is unlike anywhere you’ve ever seen before.
Embark on a five-star wellness retreat featuring healing treatments, tranquil plunge pools, healthy foods, mud baths, and refreshing mimosas.
A selection of packages are available for visitors to choose from, but the Passport to Wellness bundle provides the best value for money. It includes full day access to the grounds, multiple treatments, and a yummy spread of food.

Boozy Brunch
As far as San Diego bachelorette party ideas go, a boozy brunch is definitely up there with some of the best.
Luckily, San Diego offers a fair share of eateries with boozy brunch options. Baja Betty’s is one of our favorites, serving a scrumptious variety of Mexican dishes like mouthwatering quesadillas and breakfast burritos.
Brunch is available Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM and provides guests with bottles of champagne and jugs of sangria. The girls are sure to have a blast.
Another boozy brunch spot bachelorette parties will love is the Garage Kitchen & Bar on Fourth Avenue.
Across brunch hours, they serve bottomless mimosas. But anyone who’s not a huge fan of Prosecco can order one of their cold brew cocktails or bloody marys instead.
Relax, Unwind, & Twist With A Private Yoga Session
Just because you’re away doesn’t mean you can’t stay on top of your morning yoga routine.
The wellness scene in San Diego is alive and well. There’s all kinds of yoga studios opening their doors to customers and offering a unique selection of services.
Try a peaceful yoga session on the beach or see if you can withstand the pressure of aerial yoga. You can even try yoga with a unique twist, like a wine tasting or tarot card reading.
This is a fun way to unwind during your San Diego bachelorette getaway.
Visit A Speakeasy
After a long day of exploring, don’t forget to pop into one of San Diego’s speakeasy bars for a well-deserved drink.
Speakeasies have been a part of America’s Finest City for years, and as time goes on, more and more secret watering holes keep popping up.
Check out the Prohibition Lounge, set in a 1930s-style building designed with red touches to create a seductive atmosphere. Once you have a drink here, you won’t want to leave.
Noble Experiment is another exciting speakeasy bar in the Gaslamp Quarter, hidden by a mysterious door. On the inside, you’ll find a stylish little cocktail bar undisturbed by the crowds in the area.
Let Out Your Inner Child At Punch Bar Social
Play some old-fashioned games with your girls at Punch Bar Social.
This is a typical bar with a twist, offering pub-style grub with an arcade to mess around in while waiting on food.
Punch Bar Social’s arcade has all the classic games you can dream of, including Terminator 2, NBA Jam, Midway, and many more.
The fun doesn’t stop at the arcade though. They also have an indoor bowling alley, karaoke space, dance floor, billiards, shuffleboard, darts, and much more.
Throw in some scrumptious food and fruity cocktails, and you have an exciting evening with your nearest and dearest.

Open for brunch and dinner, the food here is to die for. Not to mention, the cocktails are amazing, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is enjoying themselves.
Juniper & Ivy
What started as an old warehouse on Kettner Boulevard has fast become one of San Diego’s leading restaurants, turning typical American bites into creative dishes.
The interior at Juniper & Ivy is unique, to say the least, with a sole focus on wooden furniture. But it still manages to retain its old storage house feeling.
Queenstown Public House
Check out the New Zealand-inspired Queenstown Public House on Columbia Street.
The restaurant offers Kiwi-styled eats, a large menu of draught beers, and yummy cocktails like moscow mules, margaritas, and more.

Duke’s La Jolla
Hit up the two story Hawaiian-influenced Duke’s Restaurant, set along the ocean with an ample outdoor seating area.
We have nothing but good things to say about their Barefoot Bar. The bar is more of a casual dining area, which is perfect for big groups like bachelorette parties, and their cocktails are marvelous.
Catania
Placed on top of the La Plaza Center, Catania came from a spur-of-the-moment idea when the owner Arturo Kassel and director Ryan Johnston embarked on a two week road trip around Italy.
Today, Catania is one of the leading Italian eateries in San Diego. They deliever high quality, homemade pasta and wood fired pizzas like they’ve just come from Italy.
