Yelp Visits The Playhouse!

AJ’s Playhouse on Channel 933 has been entertaining audiences across
the county for over 8 years. From interviewing the countries biggest
pop stars, to sleeping in a crane for upwards of one week to collect
toys for kiddies around the holidays, the Playhouse has undoubtedly
touched the lives of thousands living in America’s Finest City. Yelp’s
very own Ruggy J caught up with the host of the top-rated morning show and fellow yelper, AJ M, to learn about his favorite places to play in San Diego.

Ruggy:
You and the other guys on the show (Kalvin, Hula) seem like pretty fun
dudes. Where do you head for a "guys night out" in San Diego?

AJ: If we’re downtown and we’re at a club, it’ll probably be Whiskey Girl. But you’re much more likely to catch us at a casual watering hole like East Village Tavern and Bowl, Yard House or The Local.

R: On the opposite end of the spectrum…and I don’t mean to break any hearts, but I know you recently got married. Where do you and the wifey settle down for date night?

AJ: We love spending Friday night in Old town. It’s not quite the same since it changed ownership, but it’s still a good time. Old Town Mexican Cafe, and Zocalo Grill are our faves. In the Gaslamp we are big fans of Fleming’s, Red Pearl Kitchen and Oceanaire. On the rare occasion we hit La Jolla and we can definitely be spotted getting our grub on just about anywhere in Little Italy. Then it’s all about Sunday brunch at Urban Mo’s.

R: If some of your listeners want to find you sippin’ some syrup, which watering holes might they catch ya?

AJ: I live in Mission Valley so if we’re in my hood we’ll be at McGregor’s or Oggi’s. I also think a cold beer on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Lahaina’s is about as good as it gets.

R:
An earthquake is about to hit Southern California and break San Diego
off into the Pacific Ocean. Where do you go for your last hang?

AJ: Probably McGregor’s. I don’t go there as much as I use to, but I’ve lived and worked in the area for years, so it definitely holds a lot of memories.

R: San Diego is well known for its endless array of Mexican food eateries…where are some of your favorites?

AJ: Tacos El Gordo on Palm Avenue is my favorite spot for legitimate tacos. El Agave in the Old Town area has amazing mole sauces and a huge tequila selection.

R: You’re a big baseball fan, where are your "go-to" spots before a Padres game?

AJ: Our favorite new Padres area bar is the Tilted Kilt, but you’re just as likely to catch me kickin’ it at The Local. And once again, we love East Village Tavern and Bowl.

You can catch AJ’s Playhouse on Channel 933 every weekday morning from 5am-10am!
