My husband has the same credit card (Costco Visa) as me and we showed him exactly what it looked like. He also insisted that he gave it back to me, another lie which us four patrons quickly repudiated. I went inside to track down the bartender that I originally gave my card to and asked him where it was. Uh, no, and here is the blank space in my wallet where it would be, if you had returned it to me. The server insisted I must have gotten my card back and it had to be in my pocket or my wallet. I asked him to check with the bartender I had given it to and he told me, "We return the cards after we authorize them." Well, four people at my table (myself included) can confirm that the bartender, nor the server, returned my card.
The server brought back a slip for me to sign, but there was no sign of my credit card. The problem came at the end when it was time to close my check. The show itself was a lot of fun, and once we finally had our server's attention, the service was great. I informed our server that I had a card on file inside already and he confirmed everything was good with the tab I had started. We then proceeded outside for the drag brunch seating.Īfter an hour (seriously) of trying to flag down a bartender (they kept bee-lining for other tables, not even glancing in our direction), we finally got to order a second round of drinks. While waiting for our brunch seating, we had a round of drinks inside, and I gave my credit card to the bartender to start a tab. 1 year ago We came here for drag brunch and it was the first and last time we ever will. SRO Lounge: Known for its great jukebox, long history in the neighborhood, and a location that's much closer to downtown than the gay bars in Hillcrest, the SRO has a strong following among drag queens and their fans, but all kinds tend to drop by here, albeit not necessarily in large numbers.1Dustin B.Leather, uniforms, military gear, and the like are the preferred attire. Eagle Bar: As bars with the name Eagle go, the Eagle is your classic dude's leather club, a place where real men cruise for real men.
Park & Rec: Set in the space formerly occupied by the popular gay bar Bourbon Street, this is an expansive nightspot and restaurant that still draws plenty of LGBT folks and open-minded revelers.Pecs: Regulars tend to be of the local, bearish crowd and this bar is well-known for hosting a wonderfully long happy hour and a convivial staff.Number One Fifth Avenue: A great all-around neighborhood gay bar, it balances an intimate ambiance and friendly atmosphere without the tired, divey feel that sometimes dominates in smaller lounges.
There's a good beer and wine selection, but martinis are, of course, the libation of choice.
The space is attractive, nicely lit, and comfortable, with a full menu of upscale, contemporary American fare. Martinis Above Fourth: San Diego's favorite gay cabaret, Martinis features some tremendously talented performers-not just piano and singing, but comedy, magic, and more.It's a cozy space with the usual array of video monitors, a nice little patio seating area overlooking the busy sidewalk, and a variety of fun theme nights.
