Prepare to dive into a fun experience at The Hole in the Wall, the bar that has been embracing the LGBTQ+ community for decades with arms wide open. The venue itself is almost hidden on the corner so if you can't find it, you probably passed it! Plus, do a car-share ride here or ride home with someone sober, parking is not the best.

This beloved joint, affectionately known as The Hole by locals, invites you to bask in its divey glory, where friendly bartenders, cheap drink specials, and an unmistakable laid-back vibe converge into a cocktail of pure awesomeness.

While The Hole may have transformed into a predominantly straight venue for most of the week, Sundays are where the fabulousness truly comes alive! Picture midday shenanigans that lure in an eclectic crowd of bears, cubs, leather enthusiasts, Levi's lovers, and anyone with a penchant for magnificent manes (and their pals, of course). And let's not forget the summer Sundays, when the city comes alive and the festivities reach a whole new level of excitement.

Expect a vibrant crowd typically in their late 20s to early 40s, all seeking a unique experience just a stone's throw away from Hillcrest in the hidden area of Point Loma. So, if you're feeling adventurous and in the mood for something a little off the beaten path in San Diego, why not drop by The Hole in the Wall for a cold beer or join the Sunday Funday extravaganza? It's a hidden gem worth discovering!
