She was not wrong.. this place reminds me of all the small bars I grew up going to in the bay area. Since I wasn't familiar with either of the bands music, I can't really rate the sound. I did like the artists though and they had quite a fan base. The lights were crazy. I could only sometimes catch glances of the headlining artist but couldn't have explained what he looked like. I'm glad I'm not sensitive to strobe lights. I imagine this was the artists choice. All in all, I enjoyed myself and hope to catch more music here in the future.

They're happy to suggest unique drinks or even create something specifically tailored to your taste, which made the experience feel really personal. Getting to the front door is probably the only slightly questionable part because you have to walk down an alley, but once you get inside, it's completely worth it. The place is beautiful, clean, and has a really great atmosphere. Even the bathrooms were spotless! I also loved the little personal touches. If you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary, the staff gives you a personalized card, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. One of my friends and I were sitting at the bar, and the bartender noticed how much I loved their cheese-stuffed olives and brought me a few extra. It's those little details that really stand out and make you feel welcomed. Overall, such a fun and unique place with great drinks, great service, and an amazing atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

RAISED BY WOLVES @ UTC LA JOLLA…read more Raised by Wolves is located inside UTC La Jolla, tucked away in the very back of the mall near the Din Tai Fung area. I would definitely recommend parking around Corner Bakery or near 24 Hour Fitness for the closest way in. This was my very first time going to Raised by Wolves. I made a reservation on OpenTable, and if you are reading this right now, I highly recommend booking one. When we got there, the wait was two hours for people without a reservation. I booked for 9 PM on a Saturday night with my friends after dinner. We actually arrived at UTC earlier than expected, so we let the host know and they let us in about 20 minutes early. As for parking, they do not validate here. Parking is free for the first hour and then two dollars per hour after that, so just be aware that you may end up paying for parking when you visit this bar. It is set up like a speakeasy, which is really cool. You get to see where the actual bar is hidden. We ended up ordering a bunch of cocktails and the drinks were super great. I really loved the vibe overall. It was lively and chatty, and the staff was super friendly. The ambiance is very dark and classy. Keep in mind they do not serve food here. It is purely drinks only. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

This isn't the kind of place you'd go to for Mexican food, but even with my lowered expectations, it fell way short of even acceptable. Also for a sort of sports bar, having the game on mute while a ukulele band performed incredibly poorly, was a strange choice. It killed any chance of enjoying the evening. I won't be returning.

My friends always get annoyed because I always ask them during our after work happy hours to always come here lol!! This place has everything you need in a place. Good happy hour deals, amazing drinks, amazing food and epic views of the water and sunsets. The skrewball wings and house shots are always what brings me back here. I find myself craving those wings every week because it's the perfect, crisp and batter to ratio texture. They're also not overly sweet and the perfect amount of sauce over the wings along with their pickled veggies. Everything I've tried here from their poke tacos, rangoons, pho, and even their stir fry noodles have never failed me. Their service is also fast and very chill. You can tell they have a lot of regulars constantly coming back. Definitely will be coming back for my next happy hour

Just a note that whereas this bar apparently used to be dog-friendly many years back (based on…read moremultiple pre-Covid reviews), their current policy is that only service animals are allowed inside. My experience here has always been a good one, with great beers on tap, very friendly servers, and just a fund place to hang out for foosball, pool, or darts (albeit I think they only have one of each of those, so on a crowded night there might be a line to get to your game of choice); if memory serves they also have a stack of boardgames people can use while there.

It can be very pricey between tickets and lodging, but if you enjoy the environment, it's truly an amazing event. The marketplace has everything you can think of that might relate to Tiki and Mid-Century Modern living. The seminars provide information on everything from how to make cocktails to history, movies, books, people, and any other topic you can think of... including some where you can make your own items with an instructor, like lamps, etc! There is so much to do or you can chill with your friends by the pool or at one of the bars or over a meal. At night, there is a concert every night with a mixture of types of music: you might find exotica, rockabilly, surf music, Hawiian sounds, you just never know! The people who attend are there for a good time and to learn, spend time with friends, show off their amazing outfits and overall HAVE FUN. I hightly recommend a visit. Start with a day at the marketplace and see what you think and if you want to commit to the full thing next year!

Bartenders are nice and efficient, two unisex bathrooms available, seating is first come first serve. The show I attended was great, supposedly sold out, but the people sitting on the side of the bar where the booths were located were SO loud.

Either way, since it's a small area, it definitely affected the experience.

From the…read moreiconic mural outside to the local band gems that frequent this bar, you won't be disappointed. Parking is tough, just like most venues in this area, but you might get lucky with a street spot. The venue itself is a classic divey situation and definitely has an interesting set up. The bar juts into the viewing area which separates the crowd into a horseshoe-like shape. Drinks are pretty good, definitely stick to the cocktail menu as they are sometimes out of the regular seltzer/canned bevs. If i could have one recommendation for this bar, please get a canned seltzer besides Ashland! the worst ever!
