Becoming a local - Prospect Bar and Grill, La Jolla

Aaron and I decided that we are skinny fat people.  Aaron and I both have fantastic metabolisms and DON'T GET ME WRONG I thank God everyday that I can eat Taco Bell 7 days a week and stay at the same weight (give or take 5 pounds).  Nevertheless, it has allowed us to slump in to being total couch potatoes. 

Yes I want to excercise more but it's sooooooo haaaaard!!! 

Anyway, the first step was to get us out of the freaking apartment.  We've lived in San Diego for almost two years and I still feel like a tourist.  I know nothing about this city and that's darn right pathetic. 

We checked out a spot in La Jolla because I have really never been there and it's gorgeous.  The place is called Prospect Bar and Grill.  It's got a great outdoor patio and overlooks the La Jolla Shores. 

The beer choices were all over the place.  Ranging from Green Flash IPA to..... a tall can of Pabst Blue Ribbon??!!  It was odd because the manager had told us how excited she was to finally be getting Newcastle on tap.  San Diego has a huge following of craft beer and overall beer snobbery and Newcastle is less than impressive.  In college Newcastle was my staple along with double jack and cokes and even I know that.  She eventually sat down with Aaron and I to ask for beer suggestions and how to get more of the UCSD crowd in. 

It's a great bar but it seems a bit like it's struggling.  If they combined their view of La Jolla with a really solid beer list they'd be set.  All the beer bars in San Diego are cramped, indoors, and crawling with too many plaid shirts and overgrown mustaches anyway.
