Seafood and Steaks at Lou and Mickey's
Located at the entrance to San Diego’s Historic Gaslamp Quarter, within direct proximity to the San Diego Convention Center and Petco Park, Lou & Mickey’s serves memorable classic American cuisine with plenty of Midwestern hospitality that is welcoming and warm for anyone—whether decked out in a three-piece suit at a business lunch or in shorts and a tee en route to a Padres game, Midwestern hospitality can be called diplomatic.
 
Cousins Jeff and Sam King opened Lou & Mickey’s to honor their fathers with a restaurant that showcases their roots by serving choice seafood and prime steaks in a relaxed, inviting environment reminiscent of a classic steakhouse. Prime beef is seared in a 1600-degree oven and brushed with duck fat for added flavor.
 
The restaurant feels like a post-World War II supper club, with a jazzy ’40s-inspired playlist. Dark wood lends to the warm atmosphere, complemented by the raw bar and extensive wine list, heavy on the reds. For a livelier vibe, guests may enjoy tasty cocktails in the lounge. Lou & Mickey’s also features one of the best patios in the Gaslamp, where guests can hear the roar of Petco Park two blocks away. Enjoy happy hour specials and a menu of American classics. In addition, Lou & Mickey’s is available for private events.
