    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?

    They won't give you water. You have to pay 5 dollars for a bottle of water. Not safe, also the bartender is rude

    I came with my fiancé here on a little weekend getaway for our anniversary. It was honestly great…read moreand gave me hope for lesbian bars. The atmosphere was lively, it was packed, and the music was great on a Saturday night. It felt really comfortable. It looked and felt trendy, especially with part of the bar being outdoors. The line was a bit long to get through, as I saw another review mentioned. This seemed normal though for any bar/club at a peak time on Saturday for us. When we got inside and saw another line though, which was for the bathroom, it was very long and seemed slow-moving. It honestly seemed ridiculously long. Given how packed it was though, it also made sense. The music felt as you would expect, but in a good way. That was the best part for us, coming out of town and pushing to give this place a try on a Saturday night. My partner and I were completely sober and still felt comfortable dancing and singing along to the music. It did feel packed like sardines, so I found myself paying attention to elbows and people constantly sifting through the crowd. If you can't stand crowded places, I would recommend coming earlier, or maybe not going at all to avoid any frustration. It's something I'd rather not deal with myself too, but got used to it festivals and concerts. I would definitely come back if I was in the mood next time I'm down here. I might want to visit while it's more chill and just grab a drink to chat with my fiancé or others. If I was tired and didn't want to deal with the crowd though, I can see myself skipping on going here and going another night. Unfortunately, I got pickpocketed and had my phone stolen on the night I happened to come in from out of town. The staff did their job to make sure they put in effort to take my information down incase my phone showed up. It was clearly stolen from me though, as my crossbody bag was behind me while dancing, and was fully unzipped when I left the bar. When I asked if this was common at this bar, they said it's just common at bars in general. They made an announcement about the pickpocketing soon after and I felt like they responded appropriately with consideration. It definitely made me feel better after having my phone stolen.

    This review is for the Bingo Bonkers event that runs every Wednesday from 6-8 pm…read more I've always been a fan of Gossip Grill, and while the atmosphere for bingo night was great, the logistics were a bit of a rollercoaster. The decor is absolutely stunning. They have a cute flamingo neon lamp at every table when you're ready to order, you just turn it on! It's a great touch. Our host was Strawberry Corncakes and she was hilarious! She was very engaging and shared a lot of funny stories about herself that kept the crowd laughing. This felt like cashless event, so have your Venmo ready to tip the host. My friends arrived 15 minutes early, but the server didn't mention the 4-6 PM Happy Hour; when we asked at 6:00, we were told we'd missed it and the next one wasn't until 8:00. We ordered right at 6:00 PM, but food didn't hit the table until 6:45 PM. The room seemed understaffed with what seems like only one waitress and one server. Once it arrived, the food was actually very good. Our favorites were definitely the devil eggs of the month: Spam Musubi Deviled Eggs and the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. They advertised a $5 "Pussy Punch" special, but we were charged the full $7 on the bill. It's a small discrepancy, but it felt a little dishonest. Also, note that a 22% gratuity was automatically added for our party of six. Overall, I love the aesthetic and the talent, but I'm not sure if I'd come back specifically for bingo.

    This place is awesome and one of my go-to spots downtown. It's always crowded, which says a lot…read more There's a front area with the main bar and tables where you can hang out, then a back area with a DJ and tables you can reserve for the night. The music is always great. Shoutout to Jason behind the bar. He's consistently friendly and makes the night even better. Honestly, the whole staff does a great job. If you're going with a group, I'd recommend getting a table since it can get really busy. On weekends they have a cover, and it's cash only. There's an ATM inside. Also, pay attention to the dress code. No baseball hats, and they do enforce it. Overall, it's a solid spot for a night out.

    Overall a nice nightclub and bar to hang out in downtown San Diego. It's right across the street…read morefrom the ACE parking lot called "Park It On Market" so easy parking. Parking is $10 after 6pm until 3am. The ambiance is modern and sexy. The front part of the venue is a bar with several tables and love seats spread throughout. There's also a small outdoor area with a few tables and bar stools if you need some fresh air. Behind the bar is the actual night club area with the DJ booth, several VIP tables, and a smaller bar. There isn't a dedicated dance floor so people are just dancing wherever there's space. You can get on the guest list through their website for free bar/club entry before 10pm. After 10pm, there is a cover fee of $20 per person. It was quiet around 930pm when we arrived but it got pretty busy by 1030pm and crowded by 1130pm. Note: the back night club area opens at 11pm. If you come before then, only the front bar area is open. They apparently serve food as well but we didn't try it this time. I felt service was great from the bartenders to security to the servers. The DJ was playing awesome hip hop music which was perfect for the vibe. They even have a professional photographer who takes your photo. If you like it, it's $20 for your picture in a frame. Two things that can make it even better: - wish there was a bigger dance floor for those without tables to enjoy the music and dance - wish there was more than 2 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom. With hundreds of people inside, the line can get pretty long.
