Description:
The Hurricane was a South Seas tropical-themed lounge & restaurant located in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. It appears to have opened in 1945, as this is the earliest mention found in newspapers and is also the year written on a souveneir mailer. The lounge had food offerings intermittently, and at one point it found itself in trouble with local authorities for not offering food in addition to cocktails. Shortly after this, it was presumably sold and rebranded as simply "Hurricane" and "The" was dropped from the name. In late 1957 an LA Times ad advertises the "very unusual" cocktail bar for sale. Currently, there is no exact address match for 436 University with several modern-looking businesses in its place.
