Numbers San Diego

Numbers San Diego occupies the alternative end of the San Diego queer nightlife spectrum — a bar on Park Boulevard that caters to the goth, alternative, and queer communities who find the mainstream Hillcrest bar scene insufficiently aligned with their aesthetic. The programming runs alternative music nights, goth and darkwave events, and queer parties with a counter-cultural flavour that distinguishes Numbers from the pop and circuit-oriented venues on University Avenue. The bar is on Park Boulevard rather than University Avenue, placing it slightly east of the main Hillcrest commercial strip in a positioning that mirrors its relationship to the mainstream gay scene. The crowd is younger, more alternative, and more gender-diverse than the typical Hillcrest bar, reflecting the specific queer communities that the programming targets. For visitors who find the main Hillcrest bars too conventional or who are looking for a more alternative queer nightlife experience, Numbers is the San Diego answer.
