R place Sports bar and Grill San Diego, CA
2. R place Sports bar and Grill
Sticking with the sports bar theme, R place Sports bar and Grill, next to the Padres Stadium, has some great daily happy hour specials. If you've walked out of a Padres game at the 10th street exit this season you've seen R place's signs for $5 Bud Light and $5 Fireball, one of the best deals downtown, especially so close to the stadium. This bar has multiple TVs to watch any football or playoff baseball game and even a little outdoor patio area if you'd like to breathe in the downtown fresh air while people watching. They do have a food happy hour for $10 an item. Can't go wrong with their quesadilla, nachos, or wings.

Days: Everyday
Happy Hour: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Special:  $5 Bud light, Coors light  |  $6 Mexican Lager, Hazy IPA, Any Well Drink or Wine  |  $7 Jack Daniels, House Margarita, Titos, Jameson | $8 Vodka Redbull

American Junkie San Diego, CA
3. American Junkie
Really saving the cheapest for last. If you can find a better happy hour than this in Downtown San Diego then please DM us on Instagram @hhmaps because we need to know. American Junkie is technically a sports bar as well, but really turns into a night club starting around 10PM, which perfectly aligns with the end of this Happy Hour. I can't give you any food suggestions because we didn't eat much while attending this Happy Hour but I can say their menu lists $1 Pizza slices and with $1 Beers you just may need those slices!

Days: Thursday
Happy Hour: 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Special:  $1 Any Draft Beer
