San Diego pier - wine purchase nearby??

[grak]

I'm sure this has been addressed but couldn't fine it. Is there somewhere to purchase a couple bottles of wine near the San Diego pier? Thanks!

Not that I can think of. There are no grocery stores, etc right by the pier. It's primarily restaurants and sightseeing things like ships there. Are you staying in San Diego the night before or flying in the same day? If you are flying in the same day I would suggest you bring a bottle of wine from home. If you are flying in the day/night before you may be able to get wine close to your hotel.

Yes, answered many times before here:

 

Across the street at the Holiday Inn on the Bay there is a small store with a very limited selection of wine.

 

There is wine (also beer, liquor, and water) at the RiteAid drug store on Kettner & Ashe about 3 blocks from the pier.

 

Otherwise, if you jump on the Trolley (light rail) or take a cab or pedi-cab to the Gaslamp Quarter, you would have the option of CostPlus World Market (wine only).

 

There is also a Ralph's supermarket on Market and 2nd which will have a full selection. It is about 10 blocks from the pier.

 

You could also take a cab to Liberty Station shopping area WEST of the airport and go to Trader Joe's.

Thank you so much. I knew I had seen the information before but just couldn't find it! Appreciate your help!
