St. Pat’s Day Fun…East Village Style!

The Tilted Kilt

310 10th Ave., San Diego, CA, 92199
              (619) 814-5458         (619) 814-5458
The Tilted Kilt

San Diego’s installment of the Tilted Kilt serves as home base for Padres fans looking to fill up on brew and pub grub before heading into the ballpark, whose line literally spills onto the bar’s front doorstep.

Three 12-foot projection TVs and 30 flatscreens keep the crowd occupied, but the staff’s attire reigns as the main attraction. Guys wear black kilts and matching arse-kicker boots. Girls wear red plaid minikilts, kneesocks and teeny tiny white tie-tops, a look that splices Alicia Silverstone a la “Clueless” with the standard Japanese school girl fantasy. Who knew Hooters had a distant cousin from the British Isles?

Pool, shuffleboard and dart boards lend to the sports bar feel, and bric-a-brac worthy of the prime minister’s rumpus room fills the lime walls: constable hats, knight helmets, blown-up postcard shots of Windsor Castle.

The almond-wooded bar area occupies just less than half of the space, making for plenty of room to score a drink without needing to push and shove. Of the 24 beers on tap are the standard star brews: Harp, Bass, Guinness, Stella Artois, Blue Moon, as well as the Tilted Kilt’s own brand of wheat ale.

The menu reflects a crossbreeding between a Yankee sports bar and an Old World pub, with wings, pizzas and burgers listed alongside traditional chow like Shepherd’s Pie. Prices won’t cause the wallet too much pain, especially when compared to those of Petco’s concessions.

The Kilt enforces a strict no-reservations rule, and after 5 p.m. the under-21 crowd needs parental supervision to get through the door.

More parking in East Village?

March 4, 2010
Cursed Crimson Curbs

Do you think parking is a problem in downtown San Diego? Many have the same complaint, but it looks like the problem may be receiving attention from the City…

On the East Village Community Action Network (EVCAN) agenda for their Thursday, February 18, meeting was a new action to discuss the potential addition of public street parking. To East Village condominium dwellers, parking spaces are a hot commodity. Owners of multiple vehicles are left to find parking on the streets or rent spaces in nearby garages.

During the meeting, a location that received a lot of interest from residents is the area surrounding the proposed site for the new library. On Eleventh Avenue between J and K streets, the eastern curbside is a designated red zone, which residents feel could be used for public parking. Only one side of the one-way street is being used for metered street parking, while the other side is inexplicably marked red. (Adding to the confusion is the fact that the red zone features a “No Parking” sign on Thursdays between 12 a.m. and 3 a.m.)

Residents also noted that Eleventh Avenue offers parking on both sides of the street north of J Street. Although the request to open up more parking on the streets is still in its early stages, many people at the meeting were optimistic that the City would support the idea.

“If they’re not going to build the big library anytime soon, they might as well let the area around it be utilized. The more parking, the better,” said a local resident.
