Columbia

The Columbia District is a neighborhood in downtown San Diego (92101).  For the most part a redeveloping high-rise condo and business neighborhood, the Columbia District has a number or remaining parcels that will likely turn into something other than surface parking lots in the near future.  The neighborhood is in a good location to walk to Little Italy, the Marina District, and San Diego Bay (location of the Big Bay Boom fireworks fiasco of 2012).  Among other bars and restaurants, the Columbia District contains old stand-bys like the original Karl Strauss Brewing Company (just remodeled late 2024), the always popular Stone Brewing Tap Room (established 2013; great outdoor patio), and Shino Sushi + Kappo right across the street.
