Overview

The Brothels, Bites and Booze culinary tour of San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter will take you back to a time of scandal and debauchery. Marvel at the antique architecture, learn about the early red light district, and sample flavors at 4 local establishments.

Itinerary

  • Gaslamp Quarter

    Often called the Historic Heart of San Diego, the Gaslamp Quarter is the main dining and entertainment district of the city. With more than 150 bars and restaurants and 94 registered historic buildings, this nightlife playground has a lot to see and do, as well as a fascinating past. The Brothels, Bites and Booze tour will introduce you to the beginnings of San Diego as a port town – learn why it became one of the more notorious red light districts of its time, and find out how this once-undesired neighborhood became a fun and vibrant nightlife destination for both locals and visitors. After meeting your guide, you’ll embark on a journey of scandalous tales, unique cocktails and local cuisine. On the tour, you’ll make new friends, hear interesting stories, sing karaoke and explore new tastes at local restaurants*.

Great experience, our...

Published on Jan, 2025

Great experience, our tour guide Kayle was funny, interesting and very knowledgeable. The food stops and drinks were all great and the ice cream shop at the end was amazing! She knew some interesting facts about the brothels and we got into the restaurants immediately. She knows all the owners and they all came over and spoke to us. All the drinks complimented our food. It was a good small group of people and we all got along really well. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Best tour in San Diego

Published on Jan, 2025

This was the best tour, I have ever taken! And I have taken quite a few. Do NOT eat before hand! Each restaurant was unique with nice sized portions, from Greek, Mexican, Barbecue and lastly ice cream! It was an easy walk and Kaylee our guide was superb. Learned so many cool facts about the Gaslamp Quarter, history, unique bars and restaurants. Something for everyone and she knows the area intimately and was able to recommend places we would like to see or do that was not on the tour. I can’t wait to go back tonight and stay longer at a few spots in the Gaslamp Quarter. Highly recommend this tour as you get your moneys worth and so much more!

Brothels, Bites & Booze

Published on Jan, 2025

We went on the Brothels, Bites & Booze tour. K-Dawg was our guide- she was the Best !! I have been on food tours before and she has been the best guide so far. She was so fun & personable, she made sure to visit with each group. We all wanted to hang out with her after the tour :o)

Sam Diego with a twist

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a game night. Our tour guide wasn’t audible excellent. Mixture of contemporary and history. We tasted Greek, Irish and Mexican cuisine and learned about the gas lamp history and hidden secrets. You have to visit if new to San Diego.

Fun time good food
