They water down the drinks, overcharge, and have aweful service. 2 watered down well drinks cost us $40.
My wife ordered her drink, the bartender didn't even ask me what I wanted and asked the other people down the bar what they wanted. This was early in the night and this place wasn't busy yet. Eventually he came back and made 2 of the drinks my wife ordered. We thought about declining the drinks because I haddent even told him what I wanted, but we decided to foolishly cut him a break. After reading other reviews it's clear they take advantage of people here.
She ordered a well drink but he made it by pouring 2 "liquor bottles" full of what I'm sure was mostly water. We only wanted a single drink so we closed out immediately and they charged us $40 for those 2 watered down well drinks.
Avoid this place if you can.

Went out to the Gaslamp area for my husband's birthday and most of the bars were great but I wasn't impressed here. The bar wasn't very busy when we got there, we approached and bar tender asked what I wanted. I ordered. Bartender didn't ask my husband what he wanted despite him standing right next to me, instead he took the order of two people who walked up behind us and just made two of the drinks I ordered. It was loud so my husband just shrugged and took the drink anyway. The drinks cost $20 for well drinks and were very weak- maybe even watered down. Music was good, but "dancefloor" was just a weirdly shaped long strip, strange for a nightclub. There are definitely better spots in Gaslamp.
It was Tuesday night, game three of the Padres/Dodgers series and there were about 20 people in the entire restaurant (that holds a good 150). We placed our order and closed our tab, and I noticed a 20% fee on the bill. I asked what it was for and the waitress told me “for ordering at the table. I asked if it was a tip and she said “no, it was a service fee.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Inoay a tip for the privilege of ordering from a table and having someone bring me the food. I’m not paying 20% for that service and then paying 15-20% on top of that as a tip! No wonder this place is empty all the time and isn’t even open for Monday Night Football. They do have lots of tvs though.

The atmosphere is good and the music too, but we ordered a margarita which was average and the waitress charged 23 pesos which seemed quite strange to me, after a while I looked at the menu and saw that the margaritas were between 14 and 16, at which I complained to the waitress and she responded that she had already ordered it a while ago and that the margarita was not regular which makes no sense since it was within the range of 17 USD.
Not even in the best casinos in San Diego a margarita costs 23USD without explanation

Lots of people on here talking about it as a club. But also terrible just as a sports bar. If you’re looking for sports please find somewhere else.

Went for a music fest of sorts. Was pretty cool. $20 cover. Food and drink cost about what you can expect DT. Had the birria tacos which were really good.

If you love small dance floors, overpriced drinks, ugly people and getting your phone stolen this is the place for you! Apathetic staff with a lost and empty look in their eyes. Please come here if you’re looking for a upsetting and disappointing night!

Literally ONLY COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR PHONE STOLEN. The last time I came with my friend the employee charging us the cover warned us that they had been having issues with so many people getting their phone stolen. We go back this weekend and someone takes her phone as we are leaving the bathroom (mind you I wasn’t even drinking so I would have noticed something like that)

Be cautious when paying for your drinks, some bartender tends to overcharge you even if the menu shows like 79% less of what you’re getting charged.
Definitely will not coming back.

I was charged $12 for one Corona. I pointed it out to the bartender that on the menu it was $6 and he said I was looking at the wrong menu. I showed him the menu and he walked away. I was on the correct menu and used the QR code on the bar. Bruh.
The music is great, but unfortunately so many people get their phone stolen here. I have been to so many other clubs at Gaslamp and this is the only one that I have seen it happen not only once but multiple times. Please keep in mind that they ONLY steal iPhones, androids are left behind and management does nothing to control this.
Fun place

Music is good but 90% of the club is for vip/table service, the actual “dancefloor” is a narrow walkway between tables and the bar, basically an open hallway. Ripoff. Terrible layout can’t mingle. only good if you’re coming for table service $$$$$$. And they closed/stopped everything before it was even 2. Way overpacked they’re screwed if they get a visit from the fire marshal
