Coronado Axe Throwing

Maybe for the more adventurous guys in your life, Coronado Axe Throwing is an awesome opportunity to practice your aim and enjoy a drink at the same time (it’s a BYOB situation, in which they allow alcohol as well!). All we recommend is to stay safe and have fun! Maybe bring some snacks too?

Morning Tee Time at Rancho Bernardo Inn

Rancho Bernardo Inn is a perfect spot to take the guy in your life for an early morning tee time! Hungry afterwards? Check out their various onsite restaraunts for a bite to eat — we recommend Veranda! It’s a great restaraunt to bring the whole family after a few holes of golf…. Some old friends work there too and we’re big fans!

Dinner at Rare Society

If the guy in your life loves Steak, Rare Society is a great option — located both in central San Diego and Solana Beach! The menu here is delicious, but we definitely recommend the Executive board. Choose from all different types of cuts, a perfect share option (unless Dad doesn’t want to share!)

Check out their locations and make reservations on their website!

Barks and Brews Festival

A convenient timing for the Barks & Brews festival this year! Happening on June 18th (the day before fathers day), enjoy some beer and fluffy animals at Water Front Park! With over 20 local breweries and yummy bites, this could be a fun event for the guys who love you, just as much as they love their dogs!
