I had a awesome time last night. The staff is very courteous and super friendly. The bartenders are hella cool besides making good drinks. The DJs spinning last night were awesome. Too bad that I couldn't stay for the rest of Miss Crafty's set.

Great hidden bar, a dive with great attitude. Live local bands and/or upcoming bands every night. Weekend afternoons the Best with the greatest bartender Ed.

Great place to grab a drink and enjoy local artists perform. The bar staff are friendly and did a great job being polite even as the place got busy. Definitely will come back soon.

Had one of my favorite experiences here in a decade of living in San Diego. Went on a Saturday night with one of my favorite people. Went on Bear Night, but there were so much more men and Dilf guys, but it was the last time I went out before leaving the States on tour. And yes, they smoke outside *big deal*, speaker systems can be updated *so is life*, doorman could have been a tad nicer *sorry* but the men and vibe in general were on point. Middle-aged mostly, nearly zero gay drama at the venue, and I would love to spin here next year if they'll have me spin sexy sounds. I would be honored if I had a tribe in the SD male scene. This would be it. Thanks for the fun energy exchangers ✨️ and my new friends.

Blue Monday: It has SO much potential. Everyone at the bar was great. Seating outside and old films amped us up. Candy bowl in the bathroom lobby was a cool touch. Crowd was awesome!!! Venue fantastic! Lasers and smoke on point. Literally the only let down was the music. Its so hard to find 80s new wave tunes to go dancing and we had such high hopes for this night. We were teased with depeche mode, joy division, etc. but the DJ never truly delivered. Enough of a song was played to get you psyched, but then it fell short. It didn't really feel like 80s all that much. More like house with some 80s samples sprinkled in. Still, much better than not going out at all. But damn, what a tease.

Awesome place with a good sense of community. They throw lots of events with themes. Hillcrest has an amazing ambience.
