Awesome bar that matches the vibe of the Moxy. Great spot to kick it and enjoy some drinks and games! Had friends in town and they were staying at the Moxy. Our original plan was to grab some drinks at this bar downstairs then head out around the night life of our fine city.... But we ended up staying at the bar most of the night! They have large Jenga, shuffle board, connect four, and a bunch of other card and board games. The drink menu is pretty good too! I feel like we tried nearly the whole menu and I was a fan of everything I tried. Love the location too. We did also go to Coin-op just a few yards away but still ended up coming back to end the night back at Bar Moxy. The vibe was go great my gf and I are thinking about staying at the Moxy for a staycation! read more

Moxy is a hotel but they have a bar in their lobby where you check in! We wanted to grab drinks before dinner and decided to check out their bar! We were seated right away at the counter. They have a lot of food options and cocktails. They even have a a deal for girlfriends who aren't that hungry which consists of fries and a chicken tender! read more

Left a review at their hotel page for more details, but kudos to the bar staff as they helped with our welcome drinks event for my wife's 40th birthday! They served us HH drinks with wristbands, which was much appreciated! Super friendly staff as well that knew how to keep the drinks flowing. read more

Moxy San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Decent music. Service was 7/10 they seemed bothered and gave attitude the bartenders.

trendy, modern, quirky with semi-intimate seating areas. Music in the lobby was generally too loud, but not to the point of being unbearable. Ordered an Old Fashioned at the bar- I'd rate the drink a 6 on a scale of 1-10. Lobby bar also serves typical bar food and salads. Service: pretty good, friendly read more

Bar Moxy is a hidden gem. It apparently is a hotel that has a downstairs lobby that entertains as lounge type of a bar. They have a speak easy there as well behind a bookshelf that is quite unique. Been here several times now and would highly recommend it. Never have any lines to get in. No cover charges. Cool place to grab drinks and grab a good bite to eat. So many games to play for free including Jinga, chess, board games, connect 4, etc. Great place to host your birthday party and have a large group of people mingle and hang out. Always a good place to start or end the party. One of my downtown favorites. Customer service is good and quick and bathrooms are always clean as well. read more

Excellent Happy Hour. The food, the drinks and the service were all great! The place also had a fun vibe

Bar Moxy is located on the ground floor of the Moxy hotel. The bar is also where one checks into their hotel room if you're staying here, this caught me off guard but was a nice touch to the ambiance. I had 2 hours until a dinner meeting with friends and I just wanted something quick. I ordered an old fashioned which was pretty standard. Music and the staff/bartenders were all great and the vibe is young and gives high end hostel vibes. What caught my eye was a menu item called "My GF's 'Not that Hungry'" and it hit. I added a photo for reference but for $8, you get a full plate of fries, chicken, and a mac and cheese stick. The chicken was seasoned pretty well for bar food and I was really surprised by the generous amount of fries that were given in tandem. The food came out pretty quick, making this a smooth and easy spot for a quick bite. read more

Needed somewhere to just chill before heading over to Parq down the street and Bar Moxy was very convenient for that! I came in with my friend and the hotel lobby was playing live music. We didn't have to be guests to be here and they have a great selection of cocktails! I got the pink + black which had tequila in it and ended up being pretty sweet! There were games on the tables and it was very clean. I think it was just me, but the lighting was really bright inside. I feel like they could dim it a little bit, but it didn't bother me to where I wanted to leave. Overall, there's plenty of time to just chill here as their hours are very open (24/7) and the cocktails were nicely presented and yummy! read more

This bar is inside of a hotel, which is totally fine because some of the best bars are in hotels. But I wouldn't consider this to be one of the best. Every single time we are there... the DJ is playing and NO ONE is dancing. Perhaps it's just for the atmosphere vibes but it always feels a bit awkward to me lol. On the flip side, they do have tables filled with board games which is pretty awesome if you ask me! And I don't mean your new age lame board games... I mean old school board games like sorry!, hungry hungry hippo, monopoly, Jenga, etc. The downfall to this is that there were game pieces missing for just about every game we played :( total bummer. But all in all, I guess this bar is okay. If your in the area and just want a quick drink with no lines and no expectations for dressing up... this is the place. Drinks are good! Cheers! read more

It's a hotel lobby but also a cute bar. I love this place because they have a lot of games. We played giant jenga, and shuffle board. They also have some other games. Here's drink is very nice too. They make their unique cocktails with cute names, plus their cocktails price is reasonable. I love the atmosphere here, and I'll be back. read more

AMAZING! All of the bartenders are knowledgeable and super friendly. I originally ordered the "Skrew Your Espressotini" but the bartender asked if I wanted a normal one (with the traditional vodka instead of Whiskey) - I said yes and glad I did! By far one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. However the girl next to me got Moxy's version (with peanut butter whiskey and said it was delicious. Not overly sweet or bitter like some can be. Would 100% return just for this! read more

Moxy San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter - Espresso Martini (regular) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I love the idea of this place.... But felt they missed the mark. They could've hade so many other game choices. To me the biggest fail was not having a pool table?! Like an adult game spot and no pool table?! We had asked if they had air hockey and was given the look like " are you crazy?" So, maybe this suppose to be a really quiet and chill spot?! But we and whoever was playing with the giant Jenga didn't get the memo cause they stayed screaming every time it fell. Again, if you're looking for a cool spot for game I'm sure there's other places to try. read more

Service was fantastic, really like the variety that they have to choose from. Cute place . Give them a try.

This place was so fun between their drinks, choice of games, and the bar tenders. Ended up having so much fun we ended up bar hopping the rest of the night. There is a speakeasy bar here you can go to with reservations, we just found out about it that night, otherwise wish we would have made it. read more

I found this place on Yelp, not knowing it was apart of a hotel A friend and I were just going to grab a quick drink to kill some time before a reservation we had. The young lady at the front was nice and helpful. I have no complaints. So definitely stop and grab something if you're passing by or staying at the hotel. read more

You know, Bar Moxy has more to offer than just fine drinks, because they also make some pretty good grub as well. Stopping in during the morning, I ordered the pulled pork breakfast burrito, but with French fries on the outside, not inside the burrito. Therefore, the burrito came with tender pulled pork, scrambled eggs, and a touch of pico de gallo for about $8. The amount of pulled pork in the burrito was modest but quite good. It was juicy and tender. The eggs were well scrambled and seasoned, and although the pico was not mixed inside the burrito, it offered right a top the cross section of the burrito. It was good and I carefully placed it inside. I felt the fries should definitely be served outside burrito. Keeping them outside allowed them to keep their integrity or crispiness and that perfect texture. They were well seasoned and flavorful. I dug the house salsa that came on the side with the fries and was perfect for dipping. If you come in early, one need to order at the bar. Later in the day and evening, there will table service available. Good service. read more

I took my friend out for her belated birthday dinner and came across this trendy bar over the weekend while walking around downtown. We thought that you needed reservations to get in, but anyone is allowed inside. I saw a security guard standing by the entrance, so it was a bit intimidating. There was a DJ playing some catchy tunes and an area for Jenga and other games. We walked upstairs to check the whole place out and then noticed some people coming out of a bookcase! There is a secret bar inside that is limited to 20 people and you'll need to text the secret code from the website to make reservations. We decided to go downstairs where my friend ordered a Got Moxy. It had Bacardi dragonberry, fresh lime, and black cherry. It was quite refreshing and I couldn't taste any of the alcohol LOL. I helped myself two complimentary Skittles and goldfish crackers while we she finished her drink. Moxy is a cool bar and nice place to hang out in if you're downtown and want something chill to do. They don't have too many food items on their menu though, but they offer some small bites in their grab and go area. Can't wait to come back tomorrow to check out the speakeasy! read more

My first experience with speakeasy space Ø, Shhhhh ! This located in prime location of Gaslamp and plenty of parking options around. This is a hotel bar, but atmoshphere is like a uber cool bar. As you enter you will see the lounge downstairs bar. Also there is upstairs lounge/seating areas and you will see Harry Potter doors, the fun through a secret door to Room 56. I don't want to break the fun to others, so not going to write all about the Room 56, it's a speakeasy space Ø Room 56 is awesome, Ø. Period! Down stairs at the bar has great bartenders Marcus, Kevin and Valerie were awesome and spoiling us with great cocktails. This lounge has beautiful open space with a square bar and lot of seating areas around. Also lot of board games available. I cherished on lot of Old-Fashioned cocktails, each one was great in its own way. Also, we were treated with charcuterie, and a seared tuna appetizer. Full menu of dinner available too. Flatbreads were standing out from the menu, especially Pork and Peppers and S'mores Naan, very different. Also, the chicken and Bahn Mi sandwiches were great. One of the kitched, which closes very late at 2pm, wow. Big shout to Val, she manages the bar and cocktail menu. read more

Great conversation and delicious food.... Highly recommend "my girlfriend isn't that hungry" perfect amount for a girlfriend(like myself) who claims she isn't that hungry. The Moxy is a beautiful place and the vibe brings you so much energy and enjoyment... I recommend the bar and the hotel. read more

Came here for a elite yelp event and had a great time. Atmosphere was great, the submarine decorations are really cool in the waiting area. They have games in the lobby shuffle board, jenga, and checkers. Service was great inside the speakeasy and in the downstairs lobby bar. Servers were very nice and ready to explain the menu. Food was delicious the seared tuna was prob my favorite bite I had tonight. The cheese plate was good. I ordered the escalivada naan and it was a bit confusing because all the flavors are pretty strong so I couldn't really distinguish one to really enjoy it. Overall this place will definitely get another visit from me and a couple friends to get drinks! read more

This is easily my favorite hotel bar ever! It's the kind of bar that I'd return to regularly if I lived in San Diego because the bartenders are always so nice and the food is AMAZING! Bar Moxy serves as the check-in area for the hotel (cool right?!) and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks throughout the day and night. My favorite foods to order: -Burger: This thing blew me away the first time I stayed here but unfortunately the second time I was here they had a limited menu because of staffing limitations from COVID. -Wings: Order all the different flavors and you'll have a hard time choosing which one is your favorite. They're perfectly prepared! -Nachos: These were so much fun because they're made with Doritos and served in a cut open Dorito's bag with all the fixings. You can't stop eating them and they are the perfect drunk food when you're having cocktails! The bar is right in the lobby so you also have access to unlimited video games at their old school arcade, giant Connect Four and giant Jenga. read more

This bar is super hip and located in the lobby of the Moxy hotel. Upon check-in, you get a complimentary cocktail Which is absolutely lovely. I also enjoyed their happy hour which is daily I believe until 7 pm. What really stood out to me about Bar Moxy was the freaking food. I love a good hotel bar, but always expect the food to be overpriced. Not the case here. I ate breakfast here almost every day for under $10. And it was damn good. I enjoyed he chorizo scramble, the eggs and bacon and a bit of a Nutella pizza one night. The best part about bar Moxy tho, is the service. Everyone behind the bar is so nice and makes posting up there solo a great time! read more

I've been to this hotel and bar multiple times, they have a speakeasy that is very cool. Unfortunately last time I had a really bad experience with this bartender called Luis. He was extremely rude and disrespectful. He should find a job that makes him happy, probably something not related to customer service. Totally do not recommend as long as he's there. read more

Half of the bar staff was really welcoming and helpful. Drinks were good. The vibe is a little all over the place but still cool nonetheless. Upstairs feels like it's own little world. I loved that they had games there. read more

Camer here trying to go to room 56. What a great hotel bar this is. Honestly the prices were fair and the cocktails were craft. Our bartender was very friendly and came of some of the best drinks of the night. Definitely couldn't have been happier discovering this place. We may consider even saying at the hotel because it has two great bars connected. Can't wait to go back. read more

Went in for a drink and the staff was all super helpful and attentive. Very cute vibes and tasty drinks. Would definitely come back

Definitely a fun place - especially if you like to play games (for free!) They have shuffleboard, a couple of arcade games with the classics, giant Jenga and giant Connect 4, chess and several board games (and Cards Against Humanity). The drinks are good, but a bit pricey. I didn't order food, but it looked good, although it was a small menu. They have $2 taco Tuesdays and various specials daily. They also had goldfish and skittles at the bar to pick at while hanging out. read more

Wow what a wonderful event it was at the Moxy. A must see and try speakeasy in San Diego. Everything there was wonderful, drinks, food, staff, atmosphere. Its a hipster kind of speakeasy! Everyone there was wonderful, the bartenders kept checking to see if we needed anything! Outstanding service, Valerie and she goes by Val was the bartender that made sure everything was perfect and made sure we had a wonderful experience. I highly highly recommend this speakeasy to everyone! its a must try when in Downtown San Diego! Val is the one who put the drinks menu together! You'll love them!!! She is AMAZING!! read more

What a cool bar! i came here after checking out room 56 (it's the best room at this hotel!) the bar menu is streamlined (which i LOVE!) i ordered a cocktail...i think it was the PINK-BLACK.. very nice and light I indulged in the fried chicken sandwich...oh it was delish! it came with fries (which were also amazing) i ordered some potato chips on the side....i was really having a crunchy/salty craving! =) service was fabulous. can't wait to come back, stay at the hotel and enjoy the "lobby" again read more

Well then...so glad we decided to pop in and check out this trendy bar!! It's a hotel bar with a club vibe. There was actually a dj in the lobby spinning some fun tunes that had everyone dancing in their seats!! There are communal tables with games to play, too, along with cute seating areas and an upper loft. I ordered the signature drink 'got Moxy' made with dragonberry vodka, lime and black cherry. Not too sweet and fruity, it could be dangerous. It's a very relaxed environment. I would definitely recommend it as a meetup spot before your night out in the gaslamp!! I hope to come back soon to try out the menu. The kitchen closes at 1:45 am and the bar opens at 8 am! read more

This bar is okay, your traditional hotel bar kind of atmosphere. I liked that they had free games, that was a huge plus for me. And the drinks were decent, the food just the same. We had some nachos and they were pretty small and a little skimpy, but tasted pretty good. The drawback here was that the bartender was very snippy, he even said he was a manager so that is unfortunate for them. You can tell he's not been in the hotel industry before, and he would be why I won't return. He said to my girlfriend, not ordering a drink, who is 24, "well you don't look old enough to be sitting at this bar", with a laugh, very snippy. Kinda of dampened the whole mood. As a bartender myself, I would never ID someone that way let alone speak to a customer with that tone. But I guess I'm not the boss after all, he is! read more

What a great place to have drinks and mingle. The room was spotless and comfortable. I love the shower and that they have shampoo and conditioner bottles already in the shower for you.

I went inside Bar Moxy because of the decorations and the lightings of the place. They've got my attention. The place has great vibes. The lights give happiness to the soul. In the beginning, I didn't know that the building is actually a hotel until the bartender asked me if I'm here to check-in!! I was surprised! I just had a drink and ate there. I tried their chicken sandwich and it's so delicious. The chicken is crispy and so juicy from the inside. They serve it with handful of fries and special dips on the side. The place has plenty of chairs and tables. Also, they have got some free arcade games and board games. So you'll never get bored in here. read more

Had no issues at the bar or the hotel the hotel is actually pretty nice. But I would not order any of the food especially if you're used to having really good food. Just to be clear the food wasn't bad but it wasn't anything spectacular that I would come back for. Other than that I have nothing bad to say about this place and would totally recommend it read more

This used to be my favorite place but it's gone down hill. Took forever for the bartender to notice us. We made eye contact but still ignored me. Our table had spilt residue and we asked to get it clean and our requested got ignored. The drinks were not good at all. Definitely wouldn't be returning. Hate to see this place turn this bad. read more
