    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 dark, the lights are flickering, and you can feel your heart beat with the bass that reverberates throughout the room. You wander around, only to be amazed at how big the place is and can't help but be a giddy kid who is going on an exploring adventure....And that is me, in a nutshell, as I came here for an afterparty after CRSSD. Came to Spin for some sexy techno music and overall, had a great time here :) Check in line (bought my ticket in advance) + security check was a breeze, drinks here are ok (a bit weak IMO), and with three levels, it was fun to explore around. If you're the type who likes the underground / warehouse vibe for clubs, Spin does a decent job. On the main floor (1st fl.), the dance pit does get pretty cramped. However, there are areas you can stand around the pit and get a good view of the DJs who play on an elevated platform. Walk up to the second level, where there's an open smoking area + bar + mini dance floor/2nd room. And boy, this second room is SMALL. And hot. Get in early if you want to dance, cuz otherwise, it can get cozy with people. Given the small area, music / sound quality here = really good, better than the main stage. Finally, if the music has worn you out, go upstairs to the 3rd floor where there is a rooftop bar and chill. I guess I know where to party next year after CRSSD ends :)

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.

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.

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.

Topped with bread that had seemed to be microwaved as it was toasted at one point earlier in the evening. The Well tequila was cheap and the margarita tasted like corn syrup.. I guess you get what you pay for when it comes to all you can eat spaghetti. I ate a little bit of what was on the plate. Overall, after spending $50, I would've been more satisfied somewhere else, or ordering food to my hotel room.

Honestly, this could probably be a really great spot, but they seriously need to pay closer attention to capacity limits.

I definitely don't wish anything bad on a gay bar or a space that's meant to be safe and welcoming for our community. That's exactly why I think this is worth saying: if there were ever a fire, emergency, or any situation where everyone needed to get out quickly, the level of overcrowding I experienced could become incredibly dangerous, very fast. Hopefully management takes a closer look at this, because a fun night out should be memorable for the right reasons -- not because you spent half of it wondering where the nearest emergency exit was.
