    I go to a lot of music events and Spin does DnB events. It's a decent venue with pretty good air, unless there's a lot of people here. If there's a lot of people, it's hard to dance or even breathe. They have two dance floors, one on the ground floor and the other on the second floor. The second floor doesn't have much dance space in the room and has some obstacles in it as well. They have basic drinks and can't make anything fancy, like an old fashioned.

    The layout of the building is a little confusing at first but they have multiple bathrooms, the bartenders are quick and attentive and the multiple stages make for a cool experience. There's lots of street parking, bags are allowed but you will get pat down before you go in. There's lots staff was friendly and welcoming

    This place is practically my church! I come every year for Sabbath. The people are always the best, no judgement at all - you get to be yourself and let everything else go. The sound is almost always eqed and it bumps! Make sure to check them out for a multitude of events if you are in to drum and bass, house, industrial, etc. I have been coming for almost half my life and I won't stop any time soon.

    I only ever come here during CRSSD weekend because it's the venue that usually has the biggest names that I want to see and is also the only venue of the lot that is open until 4 am. But there is no way to get around it, Spin is definitely my personal house of horrors and I only still come here because of those two reasons. Let's start with the layout, which is awful and literally makes no sense. Outside of Las Vegas, this may quite possibly be the worst designed club I've ever been to. Narrow corridors everywhere. Insanely crowded dance floor. Stairs everywhere for some god damn reason. Trying to get outside here is a massive pain in the ass, especially if they close the rooftop (which is the only good thing the club has going on for it). I literally get massive anxiety just from having to deal with all the people that I have to push through here...it really makes it not fun. Also continuing on with the design of the club...it's pretty garbage in all honesty. Literally no visuals at all. The place looks rundown as hell. It's like whoever runs Spin is doing the absolute bare minimum to get by. And if CRSSD keeps putting big acts here, why would they bother putting any money into here? I will give them this, their sound system is banging. Almost too banging, because every time I came here it would contribute to my massive anxiety. Ok, that's on me for not investing in earplugs, which I finally did. Shockingly, it makes a difference! Only reason I was FINALLY able to have a good time the last time I came here was that I intentionally waited to get here until 2 am when people had already left and my friends managed to take over the entire left side of the dance floor. As much I hate this place, I know I'll have to come back again. Can someone please start up another place that is open until 4 am so CRSSD moves all the acts over there?

It's one of the few lesbian bars left in the US, so that alone makes it a must-visit, but the experience keeps us coming back. The vibe is always energetic, and the staff genuinely make it special, their personalities suit the place perfectly. Even though we're just visiting, they make you feel like a local who's been coming in forever. It has that neighborhood bar feel every single time. Food-wise, this last visit we had the steak sandwich and it was delicious. Their chicken fingers and fries are also excellent and as a self-proclaimed chicken finger connoisseur, that's saying something. Also a great spot if you're nursing a rough "morning" (or afternoon depending on when you roll out of the house) after. Gossip Grill is a staple every time we're in town, and Hillcrest in general just has such a great energy. Highly recommend.

All the staff was super duper friendly and they were playing my jams the whole time. We were a group of 3 adults and 1 medically fragile pup in stroller. I ordered Avocado Toast with chili oil on the side with a side of fruit, So . . . About last night subbed eggs over easy, Shrimp and Grits and soft scrambled eggs for our pup. My friend ordered some green drink too. Avocado Toast was delish, the bread was killer and avocado to veggie ratio was on point. So . . . About last night was a very generous portion and definitely on the heavier side but very yummy. Shrimp and Grits was full of flavor and cheesy grits were so velvety smooth. Stitch gobbled up his eggs and my friend thoroughly enjoyed her drink too. Definitely coming back for music and trying their regular menu items.

    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.

Later that day she tried to go there with her service dog, was denied entry and told her dog was not a service animal. Not only are they not dog friendly (which is wild to me for such a dog friendly town), they are not service animal educated. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses and staff may only ask two specific questions when a service dog's status is not obvious: whether the dog is a service animal required because of a disability, and what work or task the dog has been trained to perform. After reading through the reviews this was not an isolated incident. It's clear that this business discriminates against individuals with disabilities by denying access to those with service animals. While I never want to patronize a place where all are not welcome, I advocate for families who are differently able. I will be reporting this place for intentional discrimination and exclusion.

I felt like an after thought. Which I get maybe it was chaotic, but the bar itself needs to have ADA in mind. There are some interesting people here, a really wide spread group. Some are nice, some are rude and so clueless I was stood directly in front of or hit by 3 different people while in my "ADA " seat. The floors were sticky from the moment we walked in. But at least it seemed cleaned otherwise. Staff at the bar itself were very nice!! The restrooms were ADA Accessible for sure. I have also been here for karaoke and another drag show. Karaoke is a rough one, I will never go back. Seems to cater to only a few. Drinks are good and just what I want. Overall I will have to stick with my usual haunts and start passing on this bar more often, which sucks, but it is clearly not the place for me.
