Pros: More nightlife, fun things to do, and great beach access.
Cons: Tends to be a bit more crowded and about a 15 minute drive from the venue.
Pros: Great location, very walkable, and close to venue.
Cons: Tends to cost more and parking can be a challenge
Pros: More of a quiet neighborhood, close to the venue, lots of cafes and restaurants, and nearby smaller beaches.

More Neighborhoods for Consideration: Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Torrey Pines, Del Mar
All are great locations but are a balance between convenience, cost, and location.
