The jewel box is great for food, and drinks. You can not beat the prices at the dive bar. Since Holly took over the establishment it has receive great reviews. Voted the # 1 dive bar in san diego!

In ShortKnown affectionately to regulars as "The Box" long before the neighborhood became a pre and post game destination, this laidback bar attracts an eclectic crowd ranging from off duty cops, sailors, bikers and pool enthusiasts to baseball fans and construction workers stopping in for Happy Hour.

This used to be one of San Diego's gems, hands down the best dive bar. But since it's changed hands, it's gone way down hill. The crowd has changed alot, and for the worse. Before they wouldn't let in some of the less savory clientele, now it's fair game for anybody.

This East Village standby has dusted some of the dirt off its proverbial shoulder over the last few years, but it still remains one of the neighborhood's best dive bars. The Box, of course, was king of the East Village before it was even known as such, and certainly before the big kid on the block moved in down the street, bringing with it hordes of baseball glove-toting suburbanites.
