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.

Rich's is infested with experienced and organized pickpockets.

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.

And honestly, I wouldn't argue with that! Mo's is much more than just a bar, it's a community gathering spot for all.

The space occupies a full corner of Hillcrest and offers a large outdoor patio/bar, inside bar, small dining area and then a theater/stage where all the magic of drag shows, bingo, etc...happens! Over the years and during each visit, a stop in at Mo's is always a must. I've been by for just cocktails, drag brunch and even just brunch. Each time we enjoy ourselves from entry to exit from service, drinks, food and of course, vibes. Their food is surprisingly good quality for a spot like this.

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.

I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to visit what I can only describe as the worst nightclub I have ever stepped foot in. The entire experience was an absolute disaster from start to finish, leaving me with a bitter taste in my mouth and a vow to never return. Allow me to share my horrific encounter so that others can be spared from this abysmal establishment. First and foremost, the atmosphere was appalling. The moment I entered, it felt like stepping into a dingy basement rather than a vibrant nightclub. The music was another disappointment. I'm all for a variety of genres, but the DJ seemed to have no sense of timing or taste. The transitions between songs were jarring and abrupt, resulting in a constant cacophony of mismatched beats. It was impossible to find any semblance of rhythm or groove amidst the discordant mess that assaulted my ears. The bar service was equally disastrous. The Blonde Hair bartender seemed indifferent and disinterested in attending to customers' needs. Trying to get a drink became a tedious battle, as the bartenders were slow and seemed overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people clamoring for attention. When I finally managed to order a drink, it arrived sloppily made and with an exorbitant price tag(whiskey sour =$37). The quality and value for money were downright insulting. Furthermore, the restroom facilities were a sight to behold, and not in a good way. Filthy, foul-smelling, and seemingly neglected, they were an absolute nightmare. I've visited gas station restrooms cleaner than this so-called nightclub's facilities. It was an utterly unsanitary and off-putting experience that added insult to injury. In conclusion, this nightclub is a textbook example of how not to run an entertainment venue. From the dismal atmosphere to the abysmal music, the overwhelming crowd, the poor service, and the disgraceful restroom conditions, it failed to meet even the most basic expectations. Save yourself the agony and stay far away from this nightmare-inducing establishment. There are plenty of other venues in the city that offer a much more enjoyable and memorable nightlife experience. read more

to the recent review by Hoang T....where in the world did you buy your water from? LOL water is $4 prices on water or even drinks for that matter have not changed in years. An average well drink is $8 (mixed) unless theres redbull, i paid a little extra obviously for that, and premium were $10 for patron, not bad compared to the $16-18 ive spent at voyeur and fluxx... The sound system has been rated 2nd-3rd place through the years in San Diego, Fluxx has really only been the club to offer Funktion One system, everyone else uses a very low system. Spin has a complete Avalon sound system, 16 subwoofers included, the place sounds amazing from wherever you're standing, but on the dancefloor its just insane on your body, feels good...Also, its not illegal to not offer water, anywhere for that matter. It's up to the business, and if the bartenders feel you've been drinking, theyre not going to offer up free water as you're pretending to be the DD...you should know better. Businesses need to thrive, and if tap water is not provided or available, they may deem the necessity to charge for it, if a club suspects you truly are DD, then a bottle of water should be complimentary, which is why my completely sober friend was handed 2 bottles through the night that he nicely asked for... You are obviously from Garden Grove (I'm from Anaheim)...you probably go to HEAT, not sure how you can match sound systems with anything in OC to be honest...nothing comes close but Sutra (because Spin has the exact same sound system lol...) people need to provide more information in their posts, this place has amazing potential, unfortunately its not downtown but it does have after-hours sometimes to even 6am where they re-open the bar to serve alcohol, its a fun place and I've always enjoyed it! read more

I'll be back just because they book some good music but this place is fuckin wack. My friend and I arrived to what was advertised as a 420 reggae party. On the way to the club from our parking spot there were two guys slowly stumbling over the entire sidewalk reeking of alcohol. When we tried to walk past them they attempted to holler at us so we walked out into the street to pass them. They called us "racist bitches" (we're white, they were black) like no dudes this isn't about your skin color, it's about you reeking of fruity vodka and stomach acid, being gross and having zero game!!! So we get to the door and these two clowns are let in in front of us because security wanted to search our bags. I want to add that before this night, I had NEVER been searched in any way at this place. Anyways security found a long forgotten pre roll in the side pocket of my friends purse and immediately sticks it in his front jacket pocket without saying anything and demands $20 each for entry. My friend and I decided to just leave and she politely asked for her joint back. Security dipshit says its policy he has to confiscate it, like fuck you dude you're obviously gonna smoke it yourself. He points to a sign that another security dipshit is standing in front of, staring at the whole situation looking like terry schiavo. We gave up and went home irritated. Way to go Spin! Try hiring decent people to work your door. read more

This is best Nightclub in San Diego by far. You have the world's Top DJs coming in Every week. Listening to the music on the sound system there is by far the most superb i have heard in all of the major San Diego nightclubs. when i go to other it seems like they are trying to catch up and Club spin is a step ahead of all the other major San Diego Nightclubs. Although it is still a young club and much of the community is still just hearing about it i recommend this one to everybody. Its also Nice because they are the only legit late night spot and when the top 10 DJs in the world com through we have been staying til 4 and 5 am!!! This is a Hot spot that is open late and is all you want in the night club!!! Three levels, relaxed Dress code, multiple smoking areas, chill security and some of the coolest people out there. I love this club!!! All of the staff and bartenders are great. I know the Drinks are a bit on the expensive side i agree. But i def go to this club for the ambience, the people and the music. I am away from the BS that happens downtown and i am still getting what the world expects a Downtown Club should properly offer!!! No Holds Bar GREATEST LARGE SCALED NIGHTCLUB IN SAN DIEGO!!!! GET OUT TO THIS ONE YOU ARE GAURENTEED A GREAT NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS EVERYTIME!!! read more

I came here for a friend's birthday and I have to admit I was counting the minutes until I left. We got a table and I am thankful for that because it was so crowded downstairs on the Dance Floor that it was like a pack of sardines trying to escape. I am not the biggest fan of EDM music but then again I can enjoy it from time to time. I realize though that this makes my opinion of spin a little bias though I did not enjoy the music whatsoever. I don't know if it was the DJ or just the environment but it was very difficult to hear anybody speak and the music sounded like it was barely ever changing. The table we were at had a bunch of little leather couches that all had tears in them and the railing in front of us was very sticky and gross. So was the floor. The one thing I do like about this place is that there are three floors and the top floor was nice because it was outdoor essentially. It seems like other people have had great experiences here but I unfortunately did not. I will not be coming back and I don't suggest that you do if you don't thoroughly enjoy EDM music. However even then I don't think this is the best place to go and enjoy EDM music. read more

Spin Nightclub is hands down my favorite club in San Diego. It's my second home, and every time I walk in, I'm reminded of why this place is so special. The club has always been great, but recent improvements to the sound, lighting, and overall atmosphere, have made it even better than before. The sound system here is top-notch, delivering crystal-clear sound that you can feel in your bones. Spin always bring in amazing talent, from local favorites to world-renowned artists. Whether you're into house, drum and bass, etc, there's always something for everyone. The staff is also phenomenal. The bartenders are quick, friendly, and always serve up great drinks with a smile. Everyone here (including security) genuinely seems to care about providing a great experience, which makes the whole vibe so welcoming and fun. If you're looking for a club with great music, atmosphere, and service, Spin is the place to be. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's the ultimate destination for an unforgettable night out in San Diego. read more

First time at this venue and i have nothing but good things to say... First of all...we started out in a VIP room, really small, only one bartender but for the first time in my many years of drinking, this bartender didn't give a fuck about hot girls with big tits, if you were in line first, he came to you. I had two minutes left until they closed and he helped me and two other guys instead of these two dumb broads who didn't know what they wanted....Five stars for this guy. Came with a friend on its One Year Anniversary (although ive never even heard of the place) and this place was sick! It had a harp made of lazers?!?!?! Five stars for that shit! Sound system was amazing, bartenders weren't ass holes or bitches, and the place was huge! Tons of HOT women, i'm going back to this place! Even security seemed to have some regard for people which is rare in clubs! Don't see how anyone could dis this place. Oh my god, how did i forget, parking is FREE! another great plus to the venue. read more

It was my first time here celebrating a birthday with my girl fiends. I've been to different clubs and this by far the worst club I've ever been to. First of all, the place is too small and the drinks are over priced for its quality. I say as this is the worst club because me and the my friend (the bday girl) was groped here multiple times by a STAFF MEMBER and when I brought it up to the security, guess what?! They did absolutely nothing. They told us that we should've expected those type of act since we were in a club and not in church???? It doesn't matter whether I'm in a 1 star club or a 5 star. Being groped is consider a sexual assault and it's not welcome. It seemed impossible to have a decent conversation with the security and other staff members when they seem to be acceptable with what happened. read more

PICK POCKET WARNING!!! There is an active pick pocket gang working this venue, do not go there with any valuables in your pockets, phones included. My Girlfriend and my best friends wife both had their phones stolen. I was able to find the two women responsible, one of which was the actual thief, as both myself and my girlfriend recognized her, from when she 'bumped' into my girlfriend. Sadly, we were too slow to react. IN ADDITION, given the STUPIDLY SLOW SPEED BY WHICH SECURITY RESPONDED to this, the number of phones stolen that night (at least 7 to my knowledge), I believe there is a STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF COLLUSION BY SPIN SECURITY AND STAFF, and there is even a report here in Yelp of theft IN THE COAT CHECK AREA!

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.

She provided excellent customer service and recommended many fun drinks! The candy shot was an easy drink to handle. If you have the chance, visit, as she's in the basement floor and always serves with a smile. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Extremely disappointing experience, $2,000 spent for unacceptable service…read more We came to Onyx Room in San Diego to celebrate a birthday with 20 friends and had a bottle service table reserved. We spent approximately $2,000, expecting a great experience, but the service was extremely disappointing. After our first set of bottles was delivered, our waitress barely checked on us. We were left without cups, chasers, or anyone attending to our table. About 1.5 hours later, the next set of bottles was finally brought out -- again, with no cups or chasers. We repeatedly had to chase down staff just to get the basic necessities for our table. The situation became so frustrating that my girlfriend and I eventually had to go into the private staff area to address the issue directly. The promoter eventually offered us two bottles of champagne to make up for the inconvenience, but by then there were only about 40 minutes left before closing, making the gesture far too late to meaningfully fix the experience. What made it even more frustrating was the automatic 20% gratuity added to our approximately $2,000 bill, despite the fact that we received very little table service and spent much of the night trying to get staff's attention. We understand that nightclubs get busy, but when you're spending this much money on bottle service, you should not have to repeatedly ask for cups, chasers, or basic service. If you're considering Onyx Room for a special occasion or planning to spend significant money on bottle service, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere in San Diego. I hope management reviews what happened and considers a meaningful partial refund or discount on what we spent, because two bottles of champagne with 40 minutes remaining did not adequately compensate for the experience.
