Stingaree

454 Sixth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

Single and ready to mingle with your ladies? Stingaree is it. Opt for dinner reservations downstairs first, so you don't have to pay the steep cover charges at the club. And you can feel good about drinking and dancing all night, 'cause the club is in the process of "going green" and earning LEED certification.

The Shout! House

655 4th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

Need to embarrass a bachelorette? Looking for "something different" for your sister's birthday? Try the dueling piano show at Shout House, where the lyrics are always raunchy, the drinks are always stiff, and you never know who's going to get called up on stage for a duet. Book a table if you have more than four people, and be sure to bring cash. Piano players are easily swayed by song requests that come with a Lincoln or two.

Splash Wine Lounge

3043 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92104

Treat the ladies to vine life for a night at North Park's unqiue Splash wine bar. All the wine is stored in vending machine-like dispensers, so you can taste a perfect 1oz. pour of anything before you commit to an entire glass. We love their yummy organic pizzas, too.
