Things To Do In San Diego: December 23-26, 2010

I feel so sorry for my non-Christmas celebrating friends because this weekend is dismal for options if you're not participating in the holiday. My best advice is to get out tonight and join me at West Coast Tavern. I won't begrudge you, however, if you'd rather catch Grammatical B et. al at the Casbah. I'm sure I'll be able to compile some bars that will be open this weekend for those of you who prefer not to partake in Christmas family fun, but for now, here's the short list. (Weekend listings are after the jump. If you work at a bar or restaurant open this weekend, please leave a comment or shoot me an email and I'll update. For holiday orphans, hit me up. We'll have plenty of holiday ham in Chula Vista and welcome all friends to witness our crazy family. Seriously. Nobody should be alone on Christmas and I love you all.)
