As we all know, the San Diego Chargers will be playing the New York Jets this Sunday (January 17th – 1:40 PST) for a first round playoff game here in San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium.  The Chargers have been on fire during the regular season with a 13-3 record compared to the Jets 9-7 season stats. 

Some say the Jets’ 5′9″ Darrelle Revis is currently the league’s best cornerback, but we’ll see how he holds up against our receiving corps Vincent Jackson (6′5″), Michael Floyd (6′5″), and Antonio Gates (6′4″).  I have a feeling we’re going to crush the Jets this weekend!

If you haven’t gotten tickets to the game you’re still good because there are plenty of sports bars and flatscreen TV’s around downtown for you to find the perfect mix of fans, wings, beer, and of course… CHARGERS!

Here’s a few of our favorite places to catch the game here in downtown San Diego:

Nicky Rotten’s- This 2 level sports bar on 5th and Market offers a laidback atmosphere with some of the best burgers around.  They also have a great happy hour with $3 Drafts, Wells, and House Wines as well as half-priced appetizers! 

Tilted Kilt - Dubbed the “Irish Hooter’s” of sports bars TK is sure to bring the fun!  They’ve got plenty of flatscreen TV’s, beautiful TK waitresses, and tons of finger food including a special “Tailgate Menu.”  Pubstool quarterbacks unite!

East Village Tavern and Bowl - Quickly becoming one of East Village’s most popular hangouts, EVTB offers an exciting mix of sports, food, music… and you guessed it, BOWLING!  This place has great food and is always busy, so if you want your chance to bowl I suggest you get there early.

Gaslamp Tavern - This place is fun because you can sit at the bar from outside!  This is a great place to go if you’re in the mood for breakfast.  They serve brunch ’till 2 on Sundays and have a killer Bloody Mary. 

FOX Sports Grill - The new Hilton Bayfront is home to San Diego’s first Fox Sports Grill.  This place lives and breathes sports so if you want to make sure you can see the game from every possible angle…. this is your place!  Their 20+ Plasma TVs have NFL Sunday Ticket, College Game Day packages, and Big 10 Network. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
