As the Romans built roads that wove their ways through the landscape of the United Kingdom, pubs, or "inns" sprang up to accommodate travelers who needed a good drink and a place to stay for the night. That tradition in turn came to define much of the social landscape of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and even American culture: At one time in the United States, pubs were so directly tied with socializing, that they were often places where individuals in a neighborhood would collect their mail and news.
The Heart of San Diego
Amid the pubs and bars of downtown San Diego, a king's ransom of great eateries and places for a drink and a conversation is available. A few stand out in particular: Both based in San Diego's charming Gaslamp District, Henry's Pub and Patrick's Pub have made waves among visitors for years. With their authentic feels and selections, Henry's and Patrick's both combine the best of San Diego with an old European style of design.
Making Henry's a Pivotal Stop
Henry's Pub is well-known to its regulars as a place to relax in a mix of a classic UK-pub aura with updated American features like DJs and karaoke.

Somehow, Henry's seems to mix the best of the old world with the pace and excitement of the new: no easy feat. But this quality is exactly what keeps so many patrons coming back. With a number of $3 drinks from 3pm until 7:15pm on weekdays, Henry's also has one of the most generous happy hours in the Gaslamp District.
The Charms of Patrick's
