Yes, Sunday Funday is a thing. A few years ago, avocado toast and long, mimosa-fueled brunches took over Sundays. But now, brunch has expanded into day drinking, DJs, and dancing into the evening as a way to extend the weekend party and make the looming work week more palatable. How does it all work? First, organize your squad. Sunday Funday is a group activity. Second, pick out a spot and make sure bottomless Bloody Marys – as well as various food options that include a lot of bacon – are on the menu. Other things to consider: outdoor deck or patio with a scenic view, music options – live band or DJ-infused, flexibility to “go with the flow,” and plenty of space for all the group Instagrams. Now that you’re ready for a Sunday Funday, check out our list below of some amazing places to stretch the weekend out to its full potential. Pacific Beach Firehouse (722 Grand Ave.): On “Tropical Sunday” they offer $16 bottles of Prosecco and a Bloody Mary bar from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. One of their more popular breakfast items is the Churro French Toast.
