The Spot

There surely are those who know precisely what year The Spot commenced radiating its magnetic attractions from this ultra-prime Prospect St. location, but ask the average La Jollan how long this institution has been in business and the likely answer will be "forever." Lucky types find themselves seated by the open windows (passersby have been known to stop to chat), which look out on a busy and rather glamorous scene that is quite at odds with the come-as-you-are atmosphere inside. The Spot is the antidote to everything La Jolla: Loud, boisterous and fun, it specializes in the sorts of foods that can spatter shirtfronts, like barbecued ribs, juicy burgers and entirely respectable pizzas. Everybody loves the food, but the prices and lively mood do much to explain the crowds.
	The Spot is on Prospect, which is a main entertainment area in La Jolla. It is both a restaurant and a bar, which are separated by a partition inside. There are tables and booths in the bar area for eating. The decor is clubby, with lots of wood and nautical motive typical of La Jolla. The service is very friendly, as is the clientele. In the dining area, they have a gas fireplace, that felt great on a cool wet night. They have a large wine list, and many draft and bottled beers. Their menu is basic but hearty. They have a dozen cuts of steak ; Salads; Burgers ; Sandwiches ; BBQ ribs and chicken; and Pizza .
They brand their fish and hamburgers with an iron that looks like The Spot logo....a neat effect. A good place for friendly people, and casual no-nonsense fare.
