Dirty Bird’s, located on Mission Blvd. in Pacific Beach, is hands down, bar none… my favorite place to get wings in San Diego. I understand that is a big comment. Well, stop by Dirty Bird’s, give their wings a try and let me know if I’m wrong! Head over during Happy Hour and you can dig into the wings and pitchers at half price. You can’t beat that anywhere!

When it comes to wings, Dirty Bird’s has a long list of flavors and I have tried every one. I recommend getting the wings or one of their many AWESOME sandwiches, burgers or salads! If you like spicy wings, I suggest you go with Spicy Garlic, Diablo, General Bird or Flaming Mustard. For something a little milder, try the Dirty Ranch / Dirty Bleu, Honey Mustard, Sweet Chili or 3 Pete BBQ. Dirty Bird’s is also a great place to people watch on Mission as you kick back and enjoy any one of their many craft beers on tap!
