Urban Mo's Bar & Grill

About this place Urban Mo's Bar & Grill

Urban Mo's Bar & Grill is the social anchor of Hillcrest's University Avenue — the bar and restaurant that functions as the neighbourhood's public living room from Saturday brunch through Friday midnight. The large corner patio, opening onto University Avenue's pedestrian flow, is where much of San Diego's gay social life happens in the open air — and in San Diego's reliably mild climate, the patio is usable essentially year-round. The kitchen serves a full menu of bar food and grill items throughout service hours, distinguishing Urban Mo's from purely drinking venues and making it the natural choice for the combination of dinner and drinks before a night out in Hillcrest. The bar runs regular DJs, themed nights, and events throughout the week, and the University Avenue location keeps it in the centre of the walkable gay corridor that defines Hillcrest. Weekend brunches are a social institution in themselves — the combination of outdoor seating, good weather, and Hillcrest's weekend crowd makes brunch at Urban Mo's one of the more pleasant ways to spend a San Diego Saturday morning. For visitors to San Diego who want a single orientation point for Hillcrest, Urban Mo's is that point.
