This week's staff picks deliver with burgers, bands, happy hours and more.

Weekly Staff Picks: From Burgers to Bands

Build-Your-Own Burgers:

Nobody does it better than The Counter, which opened recently in The Forum. You pick the type and weight of your protein (beef, veggie, turkey) and there’s a dizzying array of toppings. The chili cheese fries were a big hit at our table. They also have an awesome beer selection (tap and bottle), deep wine list, creative cocktails and “adult shakes” like the strawberry and banana milkshake fortified with vodka.
1923 Calle Barcelona, Carlsbad

Happy Hour:

Every day from 4 to 7 p.m. at Mosaic Wine Bar selected wines are $4, selected bottled beers are $2 off, draft beers are $3, all pizzas and flatbreads are half off, and additional specials abound each day of the week.

Ice Cream:

When in Ocean Beach, do not miss Lighthouse Ice Cream & Yogurt. The waffle sandwich with vanilla bean ice cream is a staff favorite. Also try other flavors such as blueberry cream cheese. While you’re there, get your picture taken and find yourself on the picture wall for many years to come.
5059 Newport Avenue, Suite 102, Ocean Beach
619-222-8600

Cover Band:

On Wednesday, January 20, Anthology hosts America's finest Eagles tribute band, The Long Run, for only $5.
1337 India Street, Little Italy

English-Style Food:

Focused on local ingredients, the Ritual Tavern serves a delicious shepherd’s pie and fish and chips, with an impressive draft and bottled beer list to match.
