The Chee Chee Club is a gay cocktail dive bar, located in the East Village area, just far enough off the main strip that the bar doesn’t get crowded. Locals love it and it's been a landmark San Diego gay bar since 1941. 

The drinks are cheap and they always have something going on, like showing 80s and 90s movies. It's dark, grungy, and has about a dozen microbrews on tap along with a huge liquor selection.
