One of San Diego's earliest craft beer bars with taps running since 1992, Live Wire pours from 24 draft lines at 2103 El Cajon Blvd in the 92104 ZIP code. The bar shares the Boulevard corridor with TapRoom Beer Company, giving craft-beer drinkers a two-stop route without leaving El Cajon Blvd. A curated jukebox loaded with indie rock and punk anchors the soundtrack, while a pool table and rotating DJ nights round out the entertainment floor. Guests arriving hungry can pair a visit with a plate from Beginners Diner up the street, as the bar welcomes outside food. The highest-demand events are limited-allocation craft keg tappings that draw bottle-share traders and brewers to the bar's 24-handle draft wall on release nights.
