4th & B
4th & B was a former bank building that got a $4.5 million makeover in 2006 and the upgrade only added to the venue's appeal to concert-goers in San Diego and the surrounding areas. All types of acts have graced the 4th & B stage, from comedians to rock acts and musicians from every genre imaginable. Far from being a hole-in-the-wall, this nightlife venue is still a relatively inexpensive place to bring a date and while the drinks aren't the cheapest in town, the music, atmosphere and people more than make up for it in plenty of other ways.
