Full Circle Saloon Cocktail Bar • $
8528 Magnolia Ave #105, Santee - 6.27 miles

“I went to the Full Circle Saloon and they played this degrading song that said “A lap dance is better when the stripper is crying. Well I find it quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.” More lyrics from this song say ” I told Bambi I wanted to skin her….. and wear her face like a mask. I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.” This is a a song appropriate for serial killers and John’s who rape sex workers who are forced by their situation to work against their will. The bartender was angry and irritated with me when I asked to him to please turn it off. Two other female workers were unconcerned. The Female owner Michelle Bailey said she will not be a song N*** and did not offer to do anything about it. Oh She said there is a guy there that likes to play this song when he plays pool. If people there accept this happening I will vote by not going there.“

N City Sports Lounge Bar • $
2511 Sweetwater Rd, National City - 7.22 miles

“I enjoyed myself ??? The co-owner was awesome as she moved around the crowd and spoke to ppl and seen her help clear tables ? The dj on Friday night was dope, had me dancing ?? The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?“

“My daughter and I enjoyed cat yoga today with John Ortiz as the teacher. This was a wonderful and unique experience in a beautifully decorated and designed room perfect for the cats to roam freely while flowing through the movements of yoga. The space was upstairs in an area that is open but protected. The breeze was flowing, the sun dancing through the curtains, and John was a knowledgeable and gifted teacher. This class will be enjoyed by anyone whether or not they have attended a yoga class. We had a great workout while the cats moved freely within our space. They never interfered or got in the way. We could pet them at any time and take pictures if we wanted. This was a truly enjoyable and unique experience and I am so glad that we did it.“

“Very high priced, but I ordered the A5 Wagyu (which is the Rolls Royce of beef), and I also ordered the A5 Wagyu tallow fries, and a real ice cream vanilla shake, so I expected to pay a high price. I waited more than 30 minutes for my meal as did a couple of other customers. I was hoping for that perfect, crispy outside and juicey inside, but my burger was so over cooked, it was really dry. (Such a waist of beautiful beef) The french fries were spot on delicious, but the shake was like milk. I think they made the shake way before the meal was ready to serve. I'm not sure if I'll go back there or not. I do love A5 Wagyu, though.“

We also had margaritas too. The drink was a little small but I like my cocktails in pint glasses so it’s hard to measure up. The flavor was good so I didn’t care.

The oysters tasted fresh off the boat too!

“Everything that was advertised was false! We went for Father's Day and they had no food. Almost 70% of their menu was not available. We drove 90 miles to be told they had no chicken wings, no lobster, no steak, no tacos, no potatoes, no beignets, no greens, and no catfish, only AFTER we had been seated and ready to order. I made the reservations a month and a half ago, and we were so excited to try this place for the first time. Needles to say we left beyond disappointed, along with many other customers. It was a complete disaster, and ruined our Father's Day celebration.“

“Okay true confession: I am a sushi addict... I have been eating sushi for 62 years, yes, I'm an old man but I have never lost my love of fabulous sushi. And last night I found it, finally!!! I took a bus from downtown to try this well-recommended restaurant and boy was it worth it. This family-owned restaurant not only has the finest sushi, a very friendly expert sushi chef, but the homey atmosphere makes dining here a supreme delight. And when I got my bill I was shocked to see that the sushi was discounted to 50% off. What a pleasant surprise. Five star sushi at a price that even an old pensioner can afford. lol
Well, It looks like I am going to be spending much more time on the 215 Express bus, It is worth the trip.“
