Breweries
The best city in the U.S for craft beer is also (not surprisingly) the best city on the West Coast for microbreweries as well, Wanderu editors say. With about 150 brewers in the region, San Diego is a mecca for all things beer, especially West Coast IPAs, which were born here.
Deplasarea și accesul
MTS trolley and Bus system
If you want to be adventurous and want to get around on the trolley we have a stop on the bottom of our hill on Washington St. To Check it out...walk down Pringle Street, all the way down the hill to Linwood. Take a left on Linwood and go to Keating. Take a right on Keating and then a left on San Diego Ave. Go too W. Washington St and make a right. You're now at the trolley. WARNING- the climb back up to our home is a good workout.
