Driscoll’s Wharf

Just came down here the other day and really admire Driscoll’s Wharf because it is a true WORKING WHARF! Not some frou-​frou marina full of yachts but this place has boats that go out every morning and bring back fresh fish and is well known in the area for fresh sea urchins sold on the dock. But that is another Unilocal review entirely.
Had to deduct one Unilocal STAR because Driscoll’s is hidden off North Harbor Drive. You have to pay attention and look for their sign because the place is buried behind some Navy offices and is squished in right next to the new Jimmy’s Tavern restaurant.
That is my big fear – that the Driscoll’s Wharf area will become part of the gentrification of the North Harbor Dr. area. I am afraid that this great Point Loma spot will fall victim to the monied America’s cup sailing crowd and be fancied up. Driscoll’s is needed as a spot right inside San Diego Bay to unload fresh fish and for the many boat people to have a home. San Diego needs another over-​priced hotel and bayside restaurant at this location, like it needs another bad mayor. In other words, it doesn’t so leave Driscoll’s alone!
