The restaurant is located in a renovated vintage warehouse only 3 blocks from the ocean and has been around since 1997.

Ironside has all the best seafood restaurant staples like oysters, lobster rolls, clam chowder, crab cakes, octopus, and more.

Sally’s is one of the most romantic fine dining places you can find on the water in San Diego, so it makes for a perfect date night.

They have a ton of deals like 50% off oysters when you order 6 or 12, $5 draft beer, $8 house cocktails, $10 house wine, $8 sangria, $6 crab poppers, and $0.75 wings with a minimum order of 6 wings.

On Mondays you can get $5 Draft Beer, Tuesdays you can get 50% off Oysters when you order 6 or 12, and Wednesdays you can get $0.75 wings when you order a minimum of 6, plus 50% off wine by the glass. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
