Terrible staff. Especially that Security guard with the pointy nose and beard named James. The racism and smug attitude alone are enough to never return..

The bar during the week is fair enough. I just moved to San Diego about a month and half ago from Cleveland, Ohio. Again, the bar is fair enough during the week. Bartenders are friendly and welcoming. The decor, is definitely divey and could use some updating. The carpet, has been there as long as the bar has been in existence (maybe that's a stretch... But) do time for some updating. Now, let's move on to the weekend crowd... The place is over packed (probably violating every fire code imaginable) and the people from every outside suburb and LA neighborhood and landed at Bar One. It's a very unruly crowd and... The music is awful. It's disgusting actually. It's the worst, crappy, obsene genre and it's lousy. The most disgraceful hip hop, with strong vulgarity and blasting! If I were the owner of the little Italian restaurant across the street... I would be complaining every day about the noise and inappropriate music that's being played. Guests that are trying to enjoy a nice evening out are bomblasted with that disrespectful music, blasting from the bar. I'm very disappointed in the music scene in general in San Diego, but people need to realize... Music is life and I get it that all have different tastes, but honestly music captures the soul and when the lyrics are using "the N word" and just gross lyrics every other sentence, it's disturbing. Just because you like your weird playlist, that's fine I'm your personal settings, but in public it needs to be for all people trying to enjoy an evening out.

Smaller bar but with a great neighborhood feel and diverse crowd. Easy place to meet friendly people as a visitor to the city.

Just want to share an experience from Sunday, 6/3 at 3 pm…I was spoken to in a very rude manner from the bartender Neil! I have been a patron for over 20+ years…Neil proceeded to tell me that he would not serve me because according to Neil, I don’t like him…He then said you are an Ahole! You are always an Ahole to me…I have been a supporter of all the bars & restaurants in the neighborhood & often recommend #1, but at this point I will no longer be a patron or recommend anyone to your establishment!! My best regards!

I have been coming to this place over 10 years and it was so strange that this bar tender named Neil he was so rude to me and my friends we spent a lot of money at this place , his attitude has become rude and unacceptable and we don't feel comfortable coming over to this place if the management or the company can take action over his attitude or behavior it will be lovely. So we can come back to this place. Thank you we appreciate you.

The security SUCKS. They kicked me out for "bumping into people" on a night where we were nuts to butts in there, after I asked security why I couldnt be served anymore. (I only had 4 drinks in 6 hours) It's like the security has nothing to do.The service by the bartenders is great.

This place is harvesting all the data off of your license barcode, they scan it really quickly and stores it who knows where and how long.RESPONSE: "Keeping your customers safe" requires that you collect and store information about people and "blacklist" people you don't approve of. By definition if you are using software to do this you are sharing with a 3rd party that your guests did not consent to. If it was about drinking age, you would just check the ID.I believe under CA law, you must have a notice at the point of data collection about the purposes/usage of the data and how you handle it. You have no such notice.
