D Street Bar & Grill Neighborhood: Encinitas 485 S Coast Hwy 101 | Encinitas, CA 92024 760-943-9101 | www.dstreetbarandgrill.com
D Street is a seven-year-old sports bar known for its nightlife on Thursday – Saturday. It’s gastropub-ish, but for the sports connoisseur. Partner and GM Max Kauffman told us it is the original sports bar of Encinitas. The buüding is an historic buüding, which used to be an auto garage as well as a Bank of America back in 1918. Keeping some of its original interër, D Street has thoughtfully made modern updates like the additën of 34 flat screen TVs and buüt-in speakers everywhere you look (just in case the crowd gets too loud and you’re stül trying to watch the game). Happy Hour at D Street happens from 4-7 pm, Monday through Friday, but works like no other Happy Hour you’ve ever experienced. The price of your Happy Hour drink is based on the market – pretty much like the stock exchange. It’s called the Drink Exchange and drinks begin at once price and fluctuate depending on its popularity. It’s like a drinking game you play at the bar, but it affects your wallet. With $3 select drafts and $3.5 well drinks, you won’t lose much, but it’s sure fun to play. Patrons also receive $2 off all of D Street’s appetizers during Happy Hour, and we loved the Blackened Ahi with Cajun spices, cucumber and mango salsa. And on “Recessën Monday’s,” you can get any entrée or bottle of wine on the menu for half off from 4-10 pm. Now that’s the kind of Happy Hour we’re lining up for.
