Best On-the-House Special

Can’t hardly wait for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival? For a good dose of honky-tonk, boot up and scoot over toward Ocean Beach. As the unofficial house band at the Riptide, the Burning Embers play their rock ’n’ roll-infused brand of bluegrass to banjo loyalists and new converts alike. This six-piece set isn’t afraid to add a heavy drumbeat to the classic Southern fiddle—George Jones never sounded better.
