    3537 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 (map)

    Crispy, spicy, perfect: Wings are classic and dependable at Nunu's, our favorite, crowded, venerable dive on the border of Hillcrest and Banker's Hill.

    Read Reviews

    1014 Grand Ave, San Diego, CA 92109 (map)

    PB dive pays tribute to its hearty, Aussie roots with a no-frills atmosphere, great beer selection and decent bar food. The wings are legendary here, too, with an escalating chart of "hotness" for the truly daring to work their way up.

  3. 3 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Pizza Port-Carlsbad Brewery
    Read Reviews

    571 Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad, CA 92008 (map)

    Sure, it's known for great pizzas, but Pizza Port serves up a mean basket of wings, too. They're spicy, baked crispy and come with ranch dressing and the classic celery sticks.

  4. 4 4 Star Rating: Recommended Callahan's Pub & Brewery
    Read Reviews

    8111 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92126 (map)

    Off-the-beaten-path brewery in Mira Mesa entertains locals with Irish music, impressive beer selection, and a set of wings that'll have you flying high into the clouds of spicy, sticky, tangy goodness.

  5. 5 4 Star Rating: Recommended San Diego Brewing Co
    Read Reviews

    10450 Friars Rd, San Diego, CA 92120 (map)

    If you can find this hidden brepub across from Kaiser out in Allied Gardens, try one of their house brews and a basket of wings for a classic happy hour combo.
