If you're reading this, it's because you're desperately hunting for a place that lives up to (or…read moreoutlives) what you thought was your old favorite spot. We've done the rounds. Everywhere. And nothing touches this scene. Great drinks. Even better people. The kind of place where you walk in for "just one" and somehow look up three hours later wondering how you got so comfortable, so fast. Whether it's your first stop of the night or your last, you'll spend the entire time grinning like you're exactly where you're supposed to be and nowhere you're supposed to be. Pro tip: mention the name Lee at the door for free popcorn all night. (Okay, fine. The popcorn's already free. But now you've got an excuse to say Lee's name with confidence.) Get yourselves down here and plug into the energy. We're officially hooked. See you at Aero Club.

That being said it's my understanding that the organizers that were managing it walked and a new group of people stepped up and I understand that it takes some time to work out the kinks. We didn't get any photo booth photos because there was only one and the lines were crazy and the photographer did not seem to make it to the area we were sitting but we got some fun pics of our group. Our bus leader was FANTASTIC. Best bus leader since I've been going and head and shoulders above the last two years. What can I say, I like things organized! Overall we love diner en blanc and hope to attend next year if it doesn't happen while I'm on vacation. You need to go to this if you have not already!

For this evening kayak event, we met at Aqua Adventures where our guides Gunner and Jordan led us out to the bay area.

Unfortunately, I didn't bring a camera so no pics of the seals. Thank you Christel L. for putting this event together!

Parking was easy and it was a cinch to get in and out of the festival in the heart of Liberty Station. The event went from 12-3pm and the line wrapped around the block, but had steady flow with shortly arriving inside after about a 20 minute wait. I got to try many vendors some familiar and many for the first time! 1. La Corriente Cocina Del Pacifico: Red Snapper and Ahi Tuna 2. Mezcal Los Javis 3. Brewjeria: West Coast IPA 4. Cherry Fish 5. Dockside Fish 6. Palmy's Pacific Beach 7. Surfside: Black Cherry, Iced Tea Lemonade 8. Fire Barbecue: Pastrami 9. Sovereign Modern Thai 10. Dang Brother Pizza 11. Caliano Pizza: Chopped Cheese 12. Xteca: Mexican America Lager 13. Las Comiditas: Mole over meat tortilla chip 14. Suntide: Guava Strawberry Mimosa 15. Casa Chocolate: Apple with chocolate drizzle with fruity pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch 16. Barrilitos: Manzana Some vendors ran out by 1:30pm and another vendor said we got the last 2 portions. I left by 1:45pm after checking out a good amount of vendors! Overall, a terrific festival and had fun enjoying some eats, drinks, music and a deeper appreciation for Latin America and Mexico influence over Southern California dishes.

First of all, thank you @YelpSanDiego and Hannah for tickets to this amazing San Diego Wine + Food…read moreGrand Fiesta at Liberty Station. So grateful to be able to attend this event. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Pros: lots of alcohol, super friendly vendors, San Pellegrino everywhere to keep you hydrated, nicely decorated with Day of Dead photo ops, fresh hot tacos (all delicious) with fancy toppings, restaurants from TJ, Mexicali, SD, variety of tacos from lengua to Thai to ahi to salmon, free parking, nice variety of alcohol from sangria to beer to wine to hard cider. Cons: long lines, waste of plates, no table tops/belly ups or seats unless part of VIP section, no dessert booths, lots of empty booths and/or vendors ran out of food before 2:00. But getting to go for free makes me even embarrassed to bring up the cons. Truly it was a great event. Liberty Station was a great venue for this because it was spacious for the amount of people in attendance. Tix were sold out. Parking is easy and free. Only caveat: I didn't check out restrooms or see them but I do wish there were handwashing stations around. Some vendors were eating with the same gloved hands they were serving from.

Just call me the Merry Maker!…read more We have been attending this event since it's humble beginnings, both the Holiday and Spring shows. All I can say is that it gets better and bigger each year. I preferred when they changed up the event locations, as some did allow dogs. I've always heard the Port wouldn't but there were many there on this bright sunny December day. Service dogs, questionable. The first year at Port Pavilion, the security guard let us in to run and take a photo with our dog at the photo booth, then we were able to sit outside, eat and have a cocktail. My husband let me roam the booths. Handmade and well priced deals, there is live music and a DIY craft bar. I worked with a couple who were selling their product. Impressive, they paired up with Hugh Jackman and his coffee company and they added their own custom candle. They have provided to the Golden Globes. There was not just one photo booth this year, but there were two, You could double your fun. We chose the Camera Camper as it's been my favorite photo booth to date, experienced it at one of my favorite Yelp events. Also, I am a bit suspicious of a Santa who looks to young. Santa's little helper though, I got a kick out watching her look and laugh at the photos. All I can say is "Oh, what fun for days". Its time for cotton candy and cookies made of real butter, consumer spending on handmade goods, truly merriment at it's finest. #SanDiego #MakersArcade #MerryGoodTime #RealHandmadeGoods #FakeServiceDogs

This was my…read morefirst year, so I joined a great group of like-minded Yelp Elites to wander the gaslamp for bites, sips, and discounts galore. My group visited nearly all of the businesses. Some were better prepared, and there was a bit of a disconnect between the food and the drinks, but everything worked out and I had a very good time! Some of my favorite businesses were (in no particular order): Gourmet India, Ghirardelli, Fogo de Chao, American Junkie, Ike's Place, The Field, Tin Roof, The Smoking Gun, and Machu Picchu. Each of these establishments, and more, offered great hospitality and tasty snacks and adult beverages. Thank you to Yelp, to the Toast of Gaslamp, and to my friends, especially Emmet, who led the way! Can't wait for a repeat performance!

Of course there was the music and the band playing was super interactive by dancing in the crowd. This helped get the crowd to participate. There were drinks with a ballpark theme being sold. As well as sample fireball shots for free. I took advantage of this!! LOL I loved how this event also had some doggie adoptions available and a doggie fashion show. With all of the various activities I stayed at the block party for quite a few hours and really enjoyed myself. THANKS YELP!!
