Blind lady Ale House is one of San Diego’s original indie beer bars and a pioneer in the Farm to Pizza movement in San Diego. When BLAH opened it was named by Draft Magazine as one of the 100 Best Beer Bars in America over & over, and featured in countless national and regional publications as a must visit for the up & coming San Diego beer scene. In 2010 BLAH became the first licensed brewery in Uptown San Diego and one of San Diego’s earliest “nano” breweries. For years BLAH’s food practices, beer program and attention to quality and sustainability landed it on the Eater Essential 38. We believe OG businesses like ours have continued to be essential to the indie food & beverage scene because of an unwaivering commitment to these practices. Over the years future business owners have held meetings in the space, reviewed blueprints, concepted menus and planmed future food & beverage ventures at these tables. It feels good to be that spot that has been the launching pad for so many good things.
Speaking of launching…..
About 2 years after opening BLAH, the concept of TIGER!TIGER! was born out of a one night sandwich event where Socheth introduced us to the Bahn mi. T!T! opened on El Cajon Blvd (off 30th Street) back when the area was know as “The Dark Zone” when there were no street lights and the neighborhood was known for it’s strip bars, pawn shops and affordable rents. Immediately after opening T!T! was named one of America’s 100 Best Beer Bars, was featured in Sunset Magazine, was on the Eater Essential 38, and Showcased on Diners Drive-ins & Dives. Sadly, T!T! closed down during COVID lockdowns and was unable to re-open due to lease problems and financial issues.
In 2014 Panama 66 opened at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. This seemed like a crazy leap for the owners of a couple “beer bars,” but The Museum was open to making a change and offering food & drink that would appeal to a broader SD and tourist market. P66 is now a hub in Balboa Park serving endless glasses of SD Indie Beer, countless cocktails and plate after plate of regionally sourced food. P66 has also been named San Diego’s Best Jazz Venue multiple years, one of the cities Best Patios, and Best New Bars.
