Pfizer hosted their holiday party 2024 at venue 808. Beautiful venue! So many fun little cubbyholes where you find Photo Booths, charcuterie., Sushi and then, of course the main course buffet. Pfizer also hosted gambling tables. Fun addition to the night. Would definitely recommend to any business hosting a party, celebration. Most of the staff were very friendly and you festive. Only came across one bartender that didn't look like he was enjoying his job.

Beautiful space and an amazing team to work with. I highly recommend!! If i could get married again I would do it here

Everyone is having a great time at Venue 808.

Plan your next event at Venue 808 if you're planning a wedding or corporate special event and are looking for a beautiful venue to host it. Venue 808 is located directly right in front of Petco Park in the ballpark district in downtown San Diego off J and 9th Street. I had the opportunity to attend this beautiful venue by going to a corporate party, and I had a great time. The interior is hip and modern with a trendy feel vibe to it. It is very spacious with separate rooms and a lower and upstairs area. They offer a full service bar, and the decorations such as trees and flowers inside are immaculate to view. The event we went to had an endless table of beautiful charcuterie board offerings crackers, meats, and cheeses as well as a pleasant dessert bar offering limitless cheesecakes, lady fingers, and chocolates. My team and I had a lovely time here sampling the hors d'oeuvre from the staff and all the tasty treats they had to offer. Customer service was second to none, and there was ample security provided throughout the night. The venue was very welcoming and clean, and I had a great time while attending this venue . I would love to come back for a round 2 at any given time if given the opportunity !

Venue 808 is very nice, and large, establishment. It is neat inside with a large tree, and spacious setup, with multiple rooms. It is located downtown. There is a parking garage nearby since street parking I went for my company holiday party and got to enjoy Venue 808. I really liked the look, like a large open warehouse. There were plenty of servers all night long bringing appetizers, shuffling food around, making everything run smoothly. Definitely unique and not like any place I have been to do downtown for any other events or parties.

My partner and I got married at Venue 808 in August 2022 and absolutely loved the venue! It's the perfect combination of industrial and modern but unique and unlike the typical warehouse spaces you might find elsewhere. It's also perfectly set up so that your wedding will flow seamlessly from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing without a big effort to turn over the space or inconvenience your guests. Having our ceremony in the chapel and moving right into cocktail hour by the bar was probably one of the smoothest transitions I've experienced at a wedding. The cocktail hour space could not have been better with ample seating which is hard to find at most venues. I think one of our favorite parts was the big reveal of our reception area when they pulled back the curtains for guests to see all the tables perfectly set and waiting for them. It was definitely an "Oh wow!" moment! For our wedding, we decided to activate the speakeasy and handed our special tokens for our guests to use to enter - we received so many compliments about the fun experience! Our guests loved how the speakeasy tasting was personalized based on their tastes and they also learned a lot about the types of liquor they were drinking from the extremely knowledgeable bartender. Overall, our guests could not stop talking about how cool the space was and we were so glad that we got to get married in such a unique spot! The central location is extremely convenient if you're hosting out of town guests as the venue is within walking distance to a number of hotels of all price ranges - just be sure to check the Padres schedule as the area can get congested if there are any baseball games or events happening across the way at Petco Park.

Best venue so far in downtown for any big events such as weddings, engagement parties, and almost any industry gathering during comic con, count me in, the place transformed into Amazon Prime theme of a bunch of different tv shows, they have tacos and drinks serving all night, I really like the veggie tacos out of the other two beef and chicken, the veggies got guacamole and sliced mushrooms that gave the sensation of meats, yet you get a healthier option. The venue is huge and could accommodate at least 850 people at maximum capacity, their catering is superb, definitely recommend it.

An amazing venue for an Awards Gala! Great areas for food, drinks and a nice stage area! Venue 808 deserves an Orchid Award!

Lovely venue for the orchids award gala! The service was amazing, and the lighting and decor was fantastic!

When we went to the food tasting (they do the food from Social Tap) we almost backed out the tasting was so bad.

I first discovered SD Made when I booked a scent‑making session with an artist who had her storefront/studio inside the warehouse. I was instantly intrigued and wanted to learn more. That's when I found out they host events, offer coworking spaces, conference rooms, podcast rooms, and rentable studios for artists and creatives of all kinds. I knew immediately this was the perfect coworking space for me as I stepped into my next career chapter. Their pricing is reasonable, the amenities are great, and the people are cool, like‑minded, and welcoming. It's a laid‑back coworking environment -- something surprisingly hard to find in San Diego. Even though I no longer rent a coworking space, I stay connected through their local events and by supporting the artists and creatives who work there. I now come here to buy ceramics, candles, scents, and other beautiful goods. Whether you're a community member looking for fun, free local events, an artist searching for a studio, someone needing a coworking space, or a person wanting to host an event -- this space is amazing. Come be part of the fun.

The natural light pouring in, the stunning architectural beams, the glowing pendant lights, and the lush living plants woven throughout the entire venue create the most magical atmosphere. It's modern yet organic, intimate yet open AND the perfect setting for both our ceremony and reception. A huge shoutout to the owner Katherine for her incredible vision in creating such a breathtaking and meaningful wedding space. Flora is not just a venue -- it's an experience. You can feel the intention behind every detail, from the living greenery to the thoughtfully designed layout. It truly transforms into a romantic garden sanctuary in the heart of San Diego. THEEEE entire team at Flora is incredible! Planning was such a smooth and enjoyable experience, especially working with in house coordination. Jade is amazzzzing, she was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we envisioned. By the time the wedding day arrived, we felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. The entire day flowed seamlessly. We're also so grateful to Robin for coordinating the bar and stepping in to help throughout the day of the wedding. The bar service was wonderful, and our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the bartenders -- friendly, professional, and so efficient. And a special thank you to Jameson for being part of the process from start to finish. Having someone so involved and supportive throughout our planning journey meant so much to us. Flora exceeded every expectation we had. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and unique the space was. If you are looking for a venue that feels vibrant, intimate, and absolutely unforgettable, Flora is it. We are forever grateful we chose this incredible space to begin our marriage.

The owner is very kind and easy to work with + you can rent tables and chairs directly from him without having to look for outside vendors to set it up because he does it all!

The most of all, the owner Jeffery and the team were very creative and made the studio into the very welcoming atmosphere. So nice and thoughtful people. They are the best!! So, this studio has one gigantic white wall which we used for a big screen as a projector screen, and the two walls attached with ceiling tall/ massive windows. We started the shower in the evening, so we could still enjoy ample of the sunlight and as the party went into the night, we could enjoy the pictures on this gigantic screen. There is a "selfie booth" in one corner, so guests could take selfies and these pictures were hocked to the big screen. They had good quality microphones as well so we enjoyed Karaoke as well! Food were also amazing.
