Hard Rock’s 207 has a casual atmosphere. Find entertainment on one of the many flat-screen TVs, or show off your moves on the dance floor in front of the DJ booth. This club also has a large outdoor terrace visible from the club’s entrance. Float is located on the roof of the hotel with private poolside cabanas where you will find flat-screen TVs and mini-bars.

Envy
Envy is the downstairs nightclub at The Ivy Hotel. It is a high-end club that includes full bars, VIP bottle service, private rooms, entertainment, and go-go dancers. The VIP area is extremely exclusive and is located on the roof of the hotel where you can sip your drink while relaxing by a warm fire ring.

booths

Side Bar
Side Bar’s main attraction is its custom-built LED lit birdcage, which is also where you can find the DJ. In the back, you will find velvet-maroon couches with black crystal chandeliers and 30 birdcages hanging above you. This cocktail lounge offers VIP bottle service as well as an outdoor patio for fresh air.

On Broadway
On Broadway is one of the largest clubs in San Diego. They serve dinner starting at 8pm in their Zen Sushi restaurant. In the main room famous DJs from around the world have performed. This room also has an amazing sound and light system as well as a spacious marble dance floor. There are four rooms on the lower level with different types of music played in each room.

Stingaree
Stingaree is a multimillion-dollar facility that includes a restaurant, nightclub, and event center. It is three-stories high and features a floor-to-ceiling waterfall, cabanas, fire rings, and a VIP lounge. The rooftop has eight cabanas, a perfect place for relaxing with a few friends while admiring the view.

Voyeur
Voyeur is unlike any other club in the Gaslamp: The DJ is surrounded by an entire wall of LED lights, and go-go dancers entertain from rectangular cutouts in the wall above the crowd. The décor consists of gold skulls, red-velvet curtains, and vinyl-studded sofas, and the electronic music is always loud.

syrah

Syrah
Syrah is located underground and is most well known for its wine selection. The door hidden in a wall made of hedge can be hard to find, but it’s all worth it when you realize you can watch others getting lost trying to find the same door on a flat-screen TV from inside the bar.

Bar Ninety
This bar was previously known as Lucky D’s Bar and Grill and is located on the corner of 8th and market in the East Village. Here you will find everything from gold Japanese masks mounted on brown fur to a recycled wood candle wall. They play a wide selection of music including acoustic, house, hip hop, indie, and mash-up.

Deco’s
Deco’s is downtown San Diego’s South Beach style nightclub. This venue has a total of three rooms each playing different types of music with famous hip-hip performers stopping by almost every weekend to perform a few songs. Deco’s also has an outdoor dance floor where the VIP section is located. This area is exclusively for those twenty-one and older on eighteen and over nights.

Belo
This hip-hop club has three different rooms each with it’s own bar. They often have live music including famous hip-hop performers. There is plenty of room for dancing and large VIP areas for those interested in bottle service.
