I love this place. One because my awesome friend works there. And two, the atmosphere is so chill! The bull is a great way to make the time to go, if you're a DD. The drinks are delicious. The boys are Yums. And if you love country and old school Rock. This is the place to go if you're in downtown! AND on promotion days, they give out free shots! YAY FOR FREE ALCOHOL! read more

This is the worst place in the gas lamp. Good thing is that it is in the gas lamp so that it is an easy walk to other bars. Do not waste your time here, fellow yelpers. You will have a far better time any where else. As a bar in itself, they did not let a friend of mine in until after 1 ( he was waiting since 11.). They pretended that they were busier than they were when not allowing my friend to enter. Also, it was just ok inside. The main attraction here was the fight that happened outside. Everyone inside was talking about that instead of enjoying the bar (which we could not enjoy because the bouncers sucked). All in all, do not go here. Worst experience ever! read more

Of course the appeal here is the mechanical bull and the stripper pole. I put my name in for the bull, but decided on the better part of valor that the end of my yelp drinks week pub crawl should not end in a balze of glory being thrown off onto my ass. Free shot for check in here, fun people watching. read more

A great place that I have ended my night at on more than one occasion... The mechanical bull is a great attraction and all, but it is nothing if you do not have the right person running it. The Deuce has that Guy! Way to go stranger behind those controls...you really know how to make them shake their money makers! Great crowd, fair price drinks ($4 double jack and coke on Wed), plenty of space between the 2 rooms and upstairs, great mix of country, rock and rap hits, and overall good service. read more

The group of Texans somehow finds their way to the Western bar in Gaslamp. Of course. My friends and I wandered here on our mission to find a decent bar that wasn't too crowded and didn't charge cover. Double Deuce was just that place!! The bartender at the back bar in the mech bull room moved quickly, and drinks were decently priced ($10 for premium vodka). One room plays country music and the other plays top 40. We spent most of our time in the top 40 room where the mechanical bull is. Although there were a good number of people here on a Sunday night, it wasn't too crowded. I was able to get my dance on and still maintain my large, drunken personal bubble. read more

This place is country, from the bull ride to the design, it really is a bar. They don't sell food, they only have liquor. A couple things I've noticed are the following: Pluses (+) - Mini Stage for Kareoke at the entrance - a million big screens and a projector - Pole for dancing on, 2nd floor - 3 Bars in the bar - room, mostly standing, can fit about 400 total, upstairs, entrance and bull riding area. Minuses (-) - only 1 bull? So if you're in San Diego staying at the Ramada next door and in the mood for country music, daisy dukes, and bull riding, then Double D's is where to go. The GM is really cool and hooked me and my buddy up when we were there. We stayed the whole night! Check it out and enjoy! read more

If you like country, come check this place out in San Diego. First of all, the bull riding. SO MUCH FUN, except I've noticed that the person running the bull does a LOT more bouncing/vibrating for women who have huge boobs, were as the small chested girls get spun around until they quickly fall off. .........I see what you're doing here. hahaha Whatever draws in a crowd! Typically you have to pay to ride the bull, but the DJ gave me a "free bull ride" card, for whatever reason. There are a lot of flat screen TV's at the bar consistently play country videos, and they have the hottest bartenders in the cutest country attire! The girls here are very upbeat and social, the best kinds of bartenders..good vibes! Then you have a few girls that get up on the stage and do some type of country line dancing, something I wish I knew how to do. read more

The older waitress who gave up on her dreams only serves her friends and doesn't know how to make drinks.

Double Deuce is fun bar in the Gas Lamp area of San Diego. The night I was there they were doing Karaoke, and it was packed. I met up with some friends and we had a blast. Not a lot of area to dance that I saw, but if this primarily a karaoke bar no need to dance. read more

There are not a lot of people I'd go to a country western themed bar for. I can't really think of anyone who would ask me to do it but for Hamburglar, I did. A lot of us did. Not only did we go in there, all the girls except me rode the bull. I was wearing a dress so I couldn't but it was hilarious watching my friends do it, especially Lori who wouldn't fall off. You're a lucky guy, birthday boy. The bar itself was not my thing. Karaoke country singing in one half and the bull with random dance floors in the second half. Bad music all around. Plus, all the dudes crowded around the ring ogling the women (I saw no guys getting on the bull) from all sides. Yuck. Still, it was an experience with new and old friends so no complaints from me. Happy birthday, Omar! read more

If you sit here and politely wait for a drink, the bartenders will serve everyone who screams at them over you. Waited over 45min to get one drink... be ready to scream if you want to be served :) read more

This was a very fun place. Regular bar food, we had nachos....it was good. Fun watching people on mechanical bull. Good atmosphere.

AWWWEEESSSOOOMMEEE People singing, dancing, waitresses in Halloween costumes, Free shot with check in, stumbling distance of other places of interest. I'll definitely be back here, just wish I had taken more pictures WE HAD SOOO MUCH FUN!!! No cover charge, clean bath rooms, reasonable prices! read more

Cant write much as I didn't stay too long. However it is a nice country bar which I do like. Small bar area to get your drinks and walk into another room and watch folks ride the bull. We couldn't take the challenge as we had one too many drinks and didn't want to look a fool. Will def go back when in town and next time you bet i'm getting on that bull.. read more

Double Deuce - The mechanical bull at the bar. I'm definitely not riding that thing. - Dance Clubs Near Me - San Diego, California

If you want be treated like sh***t go ahead and visit this place. There was no line and we wanted to check out this place, now I know WHY there was no line. Service is horrible, dirty bathrooms, floor feels like someone was spilling the drinks on and no one cleans it up, your shoes just stick to it. read more

Worst security guards. Worst and rudest service ever. They make you wait for no reason.

Definitely getting five stars! The staff was extremely friendly and sweet, bartenders were quick and knew exactly what they were doing. Favorite parts were the mechanical bull(riding it is must!) and when you check in you get a free shot! I believe the cover is $5 but the bouncers were nice and let us in for free. To ride the bull there is a fee as well but another $5 to have a great time is nothing in the whole scheme of things. I thought is was awesome how they have to separate sections for music to accommodate more people. Overall if you want to have a fun, casual night downtown this is a great place to hit up! read more

We (the crew of friends) went here briefly in lieu of an in between venue while we were at comic con and only because we'd gotten a flyer for no cover entry. There is no way I'd have paid cover there. This place wouldn't have been horrible if any of us had really loved country. This was similar to Saddle Ranch in LA in downtown SD... but way lower caliber on the awesome scale. Note: I don't care for country but don't hate it. There is a riding bull in the club downstairs. Upstairs there is a second bar and a view below. It was pretty empty despite there being a stripper pole up there. An adios motherfucker was $10 and was saving grace while we hung out and I awaited for Mr to get there and on to the BBV (Bigger Better Venue). If you are really into country, this might be somewhere to check out. Changes are, you will really enjoy it. But this is no where near Saddle Ranch in quality on even its worst day. read more

I had so much riding the mechanical bull! $5 and you get to sign a waiver basically giving up rights to sue the place should anything go wrong. You agree that you're not under any alcohol.... ..... ..... really? Everyone riding that bull is drunk! But it's not dangerous, it's a lot of fun and I loved it. I'm not big on Country music but there are two rooms and the one with the bull plays hip hop. It was really fun. read more

CAUTION at this place. Bartenders will give you well liquor when asking and paying for premium liquor. When confronted about the worst tasting whisky and coke the bartender proceeded to tell me I was calling him a "liar" and refused to make me a new drink with crown from the bottle. What a joke, paying $12 for a shit well whisky and coke when I specifically asked for "crown and coke". Place gets one star for having free popcorn, other than that it's dirty and overpriced. read more

My friend and I came here last night to ride the bull....Unfortunately we never got in because Adam saw me trip and thought I was stumbling. He then rudely informed us that last call already happened and that they were deflating the bull. Clearly there were people still riding the bull and he let the two men behind us in thanks bouncer for your horrible customer service! read more

on Saint Patrick's Day I came early and then the bartender was like oh we're not serving booze today and then I look I'm literally looking right at the booze thing and there's so much beer and alcohol I feel like I was being discriminated in a weird way and I really hope that nobody comes back to this place believe the hype. read more

Not my kind of joint but 3 stars because it was crackin. My boyfriend and I were drawn in because they were playing some Bell Biv Devoe, paid the $5 cover just to be deceived! Okay so you can tell it's country style from the jump but there were two rooms, we thought the second one was going to be hip hop style. "Poison" was only a tease, thereafter Shania Twain was played, and "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy", not my steez. They had some Coyote Ugly action, I got free crappy alcohol from the cutey bartenders. I only do it because I like strangers pouring liquid down my throat, random alcohol, whip cream, etc. Come here with a group, or if you're already piss drunk or if you love country music & white peeps. read more

Mechanical Bull rides... Check Free Shots for a Facebook Check-In... Check Hot Men all Over the Place, (Usually in Plaid. Yum)... Check How someone can come here and not have a good time is beyond me! Great place to sing along to all your favorite songs, dance, and watch people get slammered and try to ride the bull. Priceless entertainment in my personal opinion. There are always people passing out cards to get in free all over downtown on a Friday night so all you people complaining about cover charges... Stop. Now. Seriously. Great place to have a good time on a Friday night! read more

Great atmosphere last night! There was a cover charge to get in, but one of the girls working noticed it was my husband's birthday a couple days ago and she let us in for free. Always entertaining to watch the bull riders. read more

Rode the bull here once, or maybe twice and it was AWESOME!! They don't just play country they always play hip hop! COOL country bar huh?! IT gets crazy on weekends for the country people, that's cool! Double Deuce is one of the venues we've worked with when I worked with the catering company. The staffs here were very nice. Maybe they knew we always have leftover food for them after the corporate events and leave it all for them afterwards. Or maybe they're just really nice. Pretty big place, downstairs has two rooms and upstairs has two rooms and a stripper pole. COOL! Anyway, staffs are nice and venue itself is big and not crowded. I like the country theme and the line dancers are hot country girls! Right on! read more

I'm not sure if this was me or the vodka collins talking, but we had an AWESOME time at this place for my friend's double deuce bday (ok we also loved that the name totally fit the theme...) on a Saturday night. If you are kind of a faint-hearted country fan and love to sing shamelessly to shania twain, garth brooks, and...chris brown and rihanna, then this is the spot for you. Let's be real, this is gaslamp. Did you think they ACTUALLY had the balls to put in a real country bar? Don't be silly. Nevertheless, I liked that one room was country and the next was "hip hop" so it could fit anyone's fancy...and if you've had 5 drinks too many, you can dance like an idiot on the stage. I won't judge you. *Also, if you are reading these reviews because your friends are cooking up some elaborate plan to coerce you into going and the thought of line dancing and cowboy hats and brad paisley makes you ill, don't worry. you'll be fine. this ain't temecula and you can still get down to britney spears and lil weezy and no one will judge you. All in all I think Gaslamp needs a few more places like this. Some good old fashioned fun that doesn't take itself TOO seriously...cough cough envy at the ivy.. read more

I love the Deuce -- especially the laid back vibe, the friendly, welcoming employees, and the smooth vibes when they have live music. But this review was inspired by the WONDERFUL security team and owner of this place. I was having a problem with some exceptionally rude gentlemen there on a Friday night. They were constantly insulting me for no reason and would not leave me alone. I mentioned it to one security guard, and within minutes the entire security team was aware of the situation and watching these guys closely, essentially waiting for them to do something worthy of being kicked out. I finally decided to leave and happened to run into the owner. I told him how awesome his security team was and how they made me feel safer and handled the situation very well, and the owner immediately told me that no one should ever be harassed at his bar and no one should ever feel unsafe. He told me that he was going to take care of the situation right away, and had me wait on the sidewalk while he personally went up to his security team and had all the harassing guys kicked out. He even had my back when they tried to continue to harass me outside of the bar on the sidewalk! I was going to come back here anyway because this bar rules, but now that I know that the security team won't put up with rude drunk behavior and will always have my back, I'm going to come back more, bring friends, and they get a 5-star yelp review. BAM. read more

We came here during a Bachelorette party expecting LOTS of country music and space to dance. We didn't really get either of that for the first part of the night, but a little later on we went upstairs to the "VIP" (Not really, it's just an upstairs section with lots of dudes standing next to a stripper pole waiting for a girl to light up their life with a free strip show) This area had more space to dance and it was much easier to get a drink. The room with the mechanical bull was FREEZING. It was like walking into the Arctic, which is bizarre because every other space is sweltering. Also, if you would rather not see your fair share of not-so-attractive women in thongs/mini skirts ride a bull.. stay away from this room. I think you can imagine the disturbing amounts of flesh you may witness. Some of the male riders look like they just came from Texas to ride this bull like it's their job, which is awkward to watch when you just saw this bull basically make love to a woman. You're welcome for that image. The bathroom in this room was also out of order but they still let people in in which is really gross. The toilets weren't flushing! YECH! BUT, for the Pros- we were with a good group of people and when they finally started playing more country music later in the night, we really enjoyed ourselves! The bartenders upstairs were awesome and very friendly. While the bar downstairs started getting more and more packed, we had plenty of room upstairs. The bride had a blast and that's the important part! read more

If you're into country music, or can tolerate it.. this place is funnnn!! Many TVS, during the early evening, they show games, UFC Fights, ect. and at night, they display the videos to the songs the DJ is playing, which is kinda fun! Mostly country music is played in the main room. The room where the Mechanical Bull is located does place hip hop/dance music and you can view the mechanical bull activities on the tv screens throughout the bar! Outside area, upstairs area. Only dancing area is near the bull, kinda tough to move around when it gets busy though. Cowgirls dancing on stage, fun bartenders, and even a place to sit if needed. The drinks are pretty pricey, I bought a club soda and vodka- $8! Had to cheap it up and switch to a $4.50 beer. All in good fun! read more

Blllleeeecchhh!!! Gag me with a spoon, I'm so for sure!!! First things first....DOUBLE DEUCE?! I don't know about you...but where I come from, deuce means poopie. As in, "I've had a lot of fiber today. I'm goina drop a deuce, brb". Maybe this knew the name would be punny to me, since yes...going here does in fact remind me of a big smelly doodoo. It's Coyote Ugly the Redux, emphasis on the ugly. No, everyone here is too attractive for their own good, I mean...it's downtown ;) But the whole cowgirl bartender who dances on the bar so drunk male patrons can feel their pants tighten is....not appealing to me. It give the whole "down home by the barn feel" was ruined by the trillion dollar cocktail....maybe next time I'll just think crank up some Hank Williams Jr. on the jukebox at Star Bar while I sip my Wild Turkey in PEACE read more

They got a mechanical bull! This was the highlight of our pub crawl. It was definitely the most lively locations of our four stops. They are themed to be a western style bar with cocktail waitresses in small boots with western attire. The drinks were okay and the service was quick. read more

2 story country bar, country music, cowboy hats. Mechanical bull and plumber cracks. Not into the country deal, but it was enjoyable. Took a shot, kicked it for a bit, danced, and left! Good place to start the night. read more

Have you been to Saddle Ranch in LA? It's pretty much similar. People with hardly any clothes (tube tops, tube dresses) riding the mechanical bull with boobs falling out, etc, but they don't care because they're drunk. The line dancing girls in cut-offs and little shirts on the stage made me want to go to the gym. Yeehaw, y'all. read more

Ok, well we went here on Saturday night, 11/8. Was just a 3 of us, me, a coworker and my boyfriend. It got busier and busier after our arrival, we got there around 9:30. From what I recall, there are 2 sides to the place, one is more country and the other iis more hip-hop. Mechanical Bull? Check. Drunk Girls in Cowboy Boots Spilling Drinks all over me every 5 minutes? Check. Coors Lite on tap? NO check. It was pretty entertaining, I don't love Country music but the songs selected were upbeat, the bartenders that hopped up on the bar to do their little dances were pretty good, and not too over the top slutty. Just a enough slutty cowgirl happening. I might go back, probably with a bigger group, and also I would not party so hard the night before and during the day before going. I was really exhausted when we were there, and in addition to a few beers, I had 4 red bulls, which is totally out of character for me. So, what I am saying is that I had fun, even though I was probably hung over from day drinking. It's a good place for bachelorette parties to stop in to, the crowd is more 20's than 30's I think. read more

Came here with the promise of no cover and a free shot...and that's EXACTLY what I got!! I felt like I was in Dallas, TX because all the staff there were clad in cowboy boots and cowboy hats. The bartendresses were really nice and made good drinks. The music kept the mood lively and I think they had a mechanical bull in another section of the bar! I had a great time there...so the next time I'm in SD I'm definitely making a stop here for some hee-haws and yipee's. read more

I'm a big country fan and knew I had to check this place out. So when my friends from out of town came to visit and we went out for the night, we made our way to DD! As we walked down the street we got free entry cards to DD's. SCORE! When we got into the place we grabbed a drink at the bar downstairs. The bartender was really nice and, when we told her we were doing a late birthday presentation, she gave us cards for a free ride on the bull! We grabbed another drink and went upstairs to chill out for a bit and watch the girls slap leather and dance a bit. When we went to the room with the bull it was pretty crowded. Some people are dancing, others are just beings doors in the middle of the walkway, but overall it's bearable. We had a lot of fun there and I intended on going back. read more

Maybe it's just because our visit to this joint was juxtaposed next to our evening at Sway (see my other review), but Double Deuce is A-OK in my book. First off- cover charge? 5 chicks, 1 dude... should we have to pay? Errrr, no. Luckily the door people were chill and waived the fee. Two of our friends decided to ride the bull- & staff were friendly and courteous. Although it did look like they took secret pleasure in "jiggling" the bull for the female riders, especially those who were falling out of their shirt PRIOR to even getting on the bull. Only complaint from my female friends in attendance- more scantily clad males (as opposed to females)! As one of them put it "More equal opportunity." Drinks here are also reasonably priced. Crowd is also quite mixed and interesting (ranging from hard-core cowboys to edgy-punk rocker types & swingers). read more

Went here after Moonshine Flats was closed for a private event. Wanted to go country for the evening with a group of work peeps so the Double Deuce is where we ended up. We were the first ones there and there were about 17 of us. The bartender was great, fast, and personable. The side of the bar that had the bull riding was closed but we still hung out at the other smaller bar and had a good time. Overall it was good, we didn't stay past 9pm so I do not know how busy it gets in the later hours. read more

There are two levels split in half down the middle. The west side has mostly country and some rock. It's also where the go-go dancers are usually at. The east side has the mechanical bull and plays a mix of top 40, dance, country, and hip-hop. Upstaris is air-conditioned and so does not get that hot. I spend most of my time on the east side. The focal point is the bull riding. There is also a small dance floor that is elevated but there are no stairs to it. You have to be athletic enough to hoist yourself up there. Cover can be free or up to $10. Like most clubs, there are usually way more men than women there. Also like many clubs, they play enough hip-hop to irritate me.They also play songs like Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar on Me. I don't care for old, over-played songs. However, the music is still good, overall. Watching the bull-riding and dancing are always entertaining. I give it four stars for when the cover is $5 or free. read more
