Entire Venue at Dobson's Restaurant
About this space
Established in 1984.
Step on inside Dobson's, a San Diego landmark where prominent clientele has gathered for food and libations for over three decades. Situated within the beating heart of the Gaslamp, folks have made Dobson's a tradition for lunch, dinner, and cocktails in America's finest. And for good reason. There's a sense of classic coziness at Dobson's, where guests are surrounded by warm, wood-paneled walls, stained-glass, and plush furnishings.
Our bar is welcoming, reminiscent of an old-fashioned men's club. But don't think for a moment that women aren't a cherished presence here, too. Located within a block of the Civic Theatre, Balboa Theatre, and the Lyceum, Dobson's is a magnet for theater-bound patrons in search of a pre-show dinner, or to wrap up a memorable night on the town.
Pull up a seat at the bar, or reserve a table for your party. Let us do all the work, whether that means crafting a classic cocktail for you and someone special, or having our world-renowned chef serve up one of his best meals.

About Dobson's Restaurant
Dobson's Bar and Restaurant is a hidden treasure in the heart of the Downtown San Diego/Gaslamp Quarter. For the last 37 years, this has been the hot spot for business lunches and frequented by many local and nationwide celebrities.
Paul Dobson, the namesake for Dobson's bar and restaurant, is one of America's few professional Bullfighters. The food is California cuisine with a touch of Italian, French, Spanish, and Asian cuisine. One thing that both local San Diegans and Zagat can agree on is that this is one of the top restaurants in San Diego. Due to the limited seating and popularity, reservations are highly recommended.
