Indulge in Happy Hour specials like $8 hot sake, $11 highballs, and $11 slushies. Pair those with Edamame, Cauliflower Tempura, Yellowtail Serrano Sashimi, or the signature Akira Back Pizza for a stylish start to the night.

Beer specials will be flowing all day, giveaways are in the mix, and a DJ kicks things up at the 7th inning stretch to keep the crowd buzzing.

The Deck at Moonshine Flats

Game day energy feels right at home at The Deck at Moonshine Flats, where Smokehouse BBQ eats, craft beers, and classic cocktails set the tone for the season. It is the kind of lively Gaslamp spot where we can post up with friends, grab a round, and keep an eye on the score while soaking in the buzz.

Behind the bar, sip on a Georgia Peach Mule with Smirnoff Peach Vodka or a Tennessee Whiskey Mule with Jack Daniel’s, both finished with ginger beer and fresh lime. Pair it with pretzels and cheese, beef sliders, or a half-pound hot dog with kettle chips for a solid pregame lineup.

Swing Social

Just a short walk from Petco Park, Swing Social is stepping up to the plate with $3 Estrella drafts during every Padres game this season.

On Opening Day, expect exclusive Estrella baseball cups and merch giveaways to kick things off. Add in cocktails, lively décor, and approachable bar fare, and we have a fun, all-in-one spot to catch every inning.

Hosted at the flagship Scripps Ranch location, the event continues Harland’s collaboration with #9 and gives us a chance to snap photos, grab autographs, and soak in the game-day buzz with fellow fans.

While there, we can sip the “Crone Zone,” a crisp 4.5% American Light Lager brewed with Cronenworth, and shop the exclusive Harland x Cronenworth merch capsule. It is a laid-back, baseball-filled evening that feels like the perfect start to the season.
