You won't be disappointed!

Our server took great care of us. The ambience of the venue is different than what it used to be a few years ago. They've switched things up. It doesn't look like there's as much space to dance anymore, but the modern clean feel of the venue was very much enjoyable.

I visited this place for the USA vs. Belgium World Cup match, and I was astonished that the place…read morewas completely empty. The pool tables were also unavailable, because they invited a pool club team on that day. That seemed to be bad timing on a day that could have been a very high revenue generating evening. I was trying to find out why this place was empty for one of the biggest sporting events of the Summer? I think I found my answer when I ordered a drink. Although $20 for a Long Island Iced Tea is comparable for an upscale restaurant, this place is a dive bar, so it should have been included in a well-drink special menu to bring customers in the door. The selling point of dive bars is usually the reasonable drink prices, the sense of community, and a good place to watch sporting events. This place has potential, but this was unfortunately a miss on all 3 fronts.

Exceptional Hosting by Keagan at Side Bar and Gaslamplighter!…read more If you are planning a corporate event, team-bonding outing, or just looking for an unforgettable night out in San Diego, you absolutely need to visit Side Bar and Gaslamplighter. Our team was in town for our quarterly QBR last quarter, and we went out afterward to let loose on the town. We randomly came across Side Bar on a Thursday night and met Blake the manager who introduced us to Keagan, who completely transformed our entire trip. He was the ultimate curator! He immediately assessed our group's vibe, realized we were out for team bonding, and invited us right in, securing a fantastic VIP booth for my team. After a few shots and grooving to great music, he personally ushered us over to Gaslamplighter for a change of scenery, where we spent the rest of the night enjoying amazing drinks and live karaoke. The experience was so incredible that on our second night out, after hopping around various other bars in the Gaslamp Quarter, our team unanimously decided to end our night right back at Side Bar. Once again, Keagan took flawless care of us. He hooked us up with another booth and a few bottles. We happened to be celebrating a team member's birthday that night, and Keagan made it unforgettable. The staff brought out the full VIP treatment with bright sparklers and "Happy Birthday" signs to close out the night in style. What makes Keagan so special is his attention to detail. Even while working a packed club and making his rounds to ensure everyone was taken care of, he constantly circled back to check on our group. He made every single person on our team feel incredibly important and looked after on both nights. We walked away with fantastic pictures, amazing team memories, and a strong desire to return. Shout out to Keagan and the exceptional teams at both Side Bar and Gaslamplighter; memories were truly made! I highly recommend these venues for any group outing in downtown San Diego.

The place has a nice vibe and our table came with a liquor bottle of our choice, champagne and a cute board+slide show of our bride. The only reason why I'm giving it 3 stars is because I don't like how they allow everyone to the back once it gets busy. We had people trying to get on top of our reservation and there was a lot least 2-3 areas where people threw up around us that wasn't cleaned. It became VERY crowded and honestly uncomfortable, it didn't seem like there was any staff moderation for people being overly intoxicated or over capacity. The place is beautiful but I just had better experiences even at smaller venues.

Here's a condensed version that keeps the main points:…read more First time here for the Malilla concert. Security was friendly, but we waited about 3 hours for him to perform for only around an hour. The biggest issue was pickpocketing. We caught a woman stealing my boyfriend's debit card and immediately locked all our cards. When my bf confronted her she disappeared or left right away. Right after, her friend a woman in a red dress started "dancing" with me while feeling around my pockets, clearly trying to steal too. Be extra careful with these 3 girls. It's one that will dance to get friendly she had a black lace jumpsuit and the other hype girl that was the one in red dress and a 3rd girl in a white top, super quiet and seemed shy and reserved. I'd recommend only bringing your phone with Apple Pay and keeping a close eye on it. It also got super hot inside after one of the large fans stopped working and was removed. On top of that, drinks kept getting more expensive as the night went on.

None of the security or other staff would help me, I ended up just taking a small slip for their lost and found number. I am beyond heartbroken, I have lost years of irreplaceable photos and videos. I will never come to Rich's again, they have allowed this club to be a place where thievery is a common occurrence and I don't think anyone should accept this. People deserve to have a night out without having to worry if someone will pickpocket them and people deserve to be safe when they are drinking and vulnerable. Rich's is infested with experienced and organized pickpockets. At best, Rich's is incompetent, complicit and turning a blind eye but it is likely that someone is involved and allows this to continue.

I really loved this place!…read more My friend was playing a set here and I wanted to come support but also I love electronica music. Parking wasnt too bad and found a spot quickly. Friend's set started at 9pm and it was really good, he was playing for about 23 minutes. I could probably listen to this type of music all night, especially on the playa. Was good to be here as Burning Man is happening right now. They have zero proof drinks so that made life good for me. Bartender wasn't sure if she had all the ingredients for a lavender liberation and she was busy, so to make life easier, I had a Rationale Mexican style lager, non alcoholic. I enjoyed it. My only complaint was that my ear drums needed a break from the loud music and I should have brought ear plugs. I don't go to these kinds of shows much anymore but ear plugs would have felt so much better. They have a really nice outdoor space and a friend and I went outside exploring and it was super nice. You could still hear the music but it wasnt like deafening. Too bad they close this place at 10pm, but I get it, people do live in this neighborhood and want to sleep. Overall, I loved this place and would definitely come back to see other shows here.

DanceJam is an open floor, mixed dance venue -- music ranges wildly, but tends mostly to worldbeat/latin, 80's and electronica. All styles and abilities welcome, on floor participation not required -- DJ is a great place for non-dancer you to bring your dance-lovin' honey to get the groove on. DJ is family-friendly: you can bring your kids if you like -- so pack up your mind, your muse, your munchkins, your moves, your mojo, your... oh, oops, sorry -- got stuck on the alliterative track for a mo'... whatever you like, truly. Comfortable clothes recommended, also socks or soft shoes for those who don't like to do their boogie barefoot. WHAT IT IS -- FUN: yes, I know -- *duh*. However, I've been to plenty of dance venues that completely failed this primary requisite. INCLUSIVE: everyone is welcome here, and that really does mean *everyone*, regardless of age, sexuality, race, shape, (or lack thereof!) other arbitrary definition or even the inclination to dance. ACCESSIBLE: located just around the corner from Claire de Lune at 30th and Kansas, DJ is easy to get to by any known means of transportation, public or private. NOTE -- parking *can* be a royal pain, and I recommend you do NOT park behind Acoustic Expressions. LOW-KEY: the crowd is very mellow, there is ***LOTS*** of seating for the tired / non-dancing folks, music is various enough to suit most tastes and the people watching opportunities are endless. WHAT IT IS *NOT* -- A MEAT MARKET: if you are looking for a hookup, don't look here -- *totally* wrong venue. A BAR: this is an alcohol, drug and smoke-free environment. BIAS ALERT -- I have been attending DJ for the 20+ years its various incarnations have been in existence -- *of course* I think it is a good thing... and I'm willing to bet you will too. Give it a try -- Tante Dio sez'

The food off the pre fixe menu wasn't spectacular, but truthfully it was more about the show than the food.

Paid approximately $500+ for a party five which included our meal, several drinks and tip. I'm a fan and will be back!
