Cherry Bomb
2237 First Avenue, San Diego, CA 92103
Named after the Runaways’ signature 1976 punk anthem, this place, inconspicuously located in the corner of a quiet Bankers Hill strip-mall, looks like a dungeon — there are skulls and brick everywhere. House specials include 23-ounce schooners of Budweiser priced at a hazardous $4.25. More troublesome, $4.75 buys (very) liberally poured double Jack and Cokes. Get your ass kicked by Cherry Bomb’s fierce contingent of foosball regulars — to a San Diego all-star jukebox soundtrack of Tanner, Drive Like Jehu, Inch, Jejune, Heavy Vegetable, and No Knife.
