The Padres are opening Diamond Room, a new 50-seat cocktail lounge debuting Friday just outside Petco Park. The spot takes over the former City Tacos space near Gallagher Square as part of the team’s push to activate the surrounding neighborhood year-round.

San Diego’s iconic Ocean Beach Pier has been closed since 2023 due to storm damage and long-term structural wear — and now the City is moving forward with a full replacement instead of another temporary fix. The new pier is planned to be shorter, wider, and built to better withstand future storms and rising seas, with improved fishing access, wider walkways, ADA features, and community-friendly viewing + seating areas. Completion is currently targeted for around 2032.

Just in time for MLK Jr. Day weekend, SDMTS is unveiling a limited-edition Black History Month PRONTO card designed by local artist Ibn Edwards. Free cards will be available at the MLK Jr. Day Parade on Jan. 19 (one per person, while supplies last), and cards will also be available for purchase starting Jan. 16 at the Transit Store, by phone, and at select ticket machines.
