Lighting is low and barstools are limited in this tiny and dark wood paneled haunt, but the locals love it. Plan on getting here early on game days if you want a seat, but the burger, heralded by in-the-know San Diegans as the best in town, makes it totally worth it

The crowd is affable, the food is better than most sports bars, and the TVs abound, making this one of the more popular spots to catch the game. The staff wears Chargers gear, so you know where their loyalty lies.

It’s hard to tell whether its the long happy hour (3-7 pm, and 9pm-close, daily) or the skimpily clad, kilt-wearing waitresses that keep this Celtic-themed joint so packed all the time, but one thing is for sure; if you’re cheering for the Bolts you’ll be in good company here.

While they have killer drink specials for almost every NFL and college football game, this place identifies itself as a Chargers bar and, as such, it is a great place to knock back a few pints of beer amongst fellow fans.

This spot is so close to Qualcomm Stadium that it's as near as you'll get to the Chargers without having to purchase a ticket. Voted San Diego’s #1 Best Sports Bar, you know this is the real deal--and also a great place to find Aztec fans on Saturdays as well.

What solidifies a bar’s fandom more than having Charger girls visiting it during game time? Not much. But The Bullpen takes it one step further anyways with Monday Night Football specials like $3 well drinks and Fireballl shots, and $5 Wings and Double Cheeseburger with fries.

What more do you need for a beautiful day of Sunday football than dozens of TVs, chicken fried steak, tater tots, "manmosas", and endless beer? The list goes on; check back weekly for new specials on game days.

When a bar pairs Monday Night Football with $10 steak night, everyone becomes a winner no matter who you’re rooting for. While not specifically a San Diego team bar, the 30 HD TVs ensure that your game will be on at least one screen, so it’s just a matter of finding a seat next to someone with the right jersey!

Head here Saturday to recover from your wild night with brunch (starting 10 am), $5 ideologies (12-6pm) and college football all day; get in the zone Sunday with $50 Grey Goose bottle service and a $14 mimosa bar; or indulge in Monday Night Football with Monday Bunday $12 build-your-own-burger.

If you prefer your sporting events with a view, this bi-level oceanside spot in Mission Beach is where you want to be. You’ll find your fellow Charger fans here on Sundays enjoying the weekend drink specials like the $12 Big Ass Bloody, $6 Watermelon Mimosas, and $15 champagne bottles.

The convenient location around the corner from the SDSU campus probably has a lot to do with why it’s rated the #1 bar in the College area, but you’d be remiss to pass up their Saturday game day specials where Aztecs gather for $5 you-call-its, ½ price appetizers, and a killer $5 beer and pulled pork sandwich combo. With 21 beers on tap and 44 different types of bottled brews, there are enough options to distract you if your team isn’t doing so hot.

You already know what teams gets priority on the TV at the San Diego location of the Fox Sports Grill. Located in the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, this is the ultimate sports restaurant with a view.

Often the pub of choice for officially designated watch parties as advertised on SDSU’s official athletics website, Hooley’s has tons of screens mounted around the walls of its roomy, woodsy interior so you’ve almost always got a good view of the action no matter where you’re seated. (Also popular with Chargers fans.) Guinness on tap and hearty Irish pub food round out the experience.

The Saturday happy hour here should almost make this the default destination for anyone looking to grab a college football game on one of their 20 screens. From 12-7, take a seat at the bar or on the outdoor patio and enjoy $1 off all pints, $2 off all pitchers, $3 Busch and Millers, and $4.50 PBR tall cans.

For the beer connoisseur who wants to enjoy something a little finer than a Bud while they cheer on the Chargers, head to the recently opened La Jolla Brewing Company, a spacious and visually pleasing restaurant where you’ll find a well rounded selection of in-house brewed beers named after local landmarks. Don’t miss their bottomless mimosas on Sunday from 11-3pm.

One of the few bars in PB where you don’t have to wait in line to get through the door, this place flies under the radar but delivers completely if you want the Chargers camaraderie without all the drunk college kids you’ll find down on Garnet. They offer a special football season breakfast menu from 9am to 1pm on weekends. Note: they only serve beer and wine.

Cheap drinks, easy parking and greasy food make this dive bar another popular watering hole for the college crowd and--though you wouldn’t guess it from the outside--this place gets rather lively during Aztec and Charger games. Be warned; if you find yourself there for a night game on Saturday you’ll run into the karaoke crowd.

The location may be questionable, the happy hour a tad early (2:30-5:30 pm) and the interior divier than most, but if you’re looking for a bar with some Aztec fans, it doesn’t get more authentic than this local, SDSU graduate owned bar. With the owner an alumni, you can always guarantee the game will be playing and the house will be cheering for the right team.

Most Chargers fans from the surrounding neighborhood flock to this divey sports bar, not only because it’s the only kind of its type in the area, but because it is a devout Bolts bar, with blue and gold paraphernalia hanging from most surfaces and cheap drink specials on game days (and most days for the matter) like $10 domestic pitchers. Catch the game on indoor and outdoor TVs depending on the weather.
