Multi-level Gaslamp Quarter nightclub with a rooftop terrace, open since 2022 at 454 Sixth Avenue
Nova SD fills a multi-level indoor-outdoor space in the Gaslamp Quarter at 454 Sixth Avenue, steps from the San Diego Convention Center. It opened in February 2022 in the space previously known as Omnia, with an expanded main room dance floor and festival-level production, and touring DJs headline most weekends.
Each level gives the night its own angle. The main room carries the energy, with a massive concave LED screen above the DJ booth and a custom L-Acoustics sound system; a balcony room adds a second space; and the rooftop terrace trades pure volume for skyline views over the Gaslamp, with its own full bar and DJs. The music runs from house and techno to bass, and themed nights such as Reggaeton Rave and 90s-to-2000s throwback parties fill out the calendar.
VIP tables sit on multiple levels, from the main floor up to the rooftop, and a table comes with hosted entry that skips the line. Bottle presentations run to sparklers, LED signs, and confetti cannons, so birthdays and bachelor and bachelorette parties book here. The club is open Friday and Saturday with doors at 10 PM and a 2 AM close, and extra event nights are added to the calendar.
The dress code is enforced: no sandals or flip-flops (open-toed heels are fine), no tank tops, and no sportswear such as athletic shorts or jerseys, though DJ merchandise and hats are allowed. Entry is 21 and over with valid ID. Tell us the night and your group size, and our San Diego partner will arrange the table.
Address: 454 Sixth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101, San Diego

Frequently asked about Nova
How do I book a table at Nova in San Diego?
Submit the reservation request on this page and our San Diego partner confirms your table, quotes any minimum spend in writing, and coordinates arrival before you commit. Your host opens the door on arrival so you walk straight to a ready table.
How much is a table at Nova?
A table at Nova depends on the night (weekends and event dates price highest), your group size, and where the table sits relative to the DJ booth and dance floor. Rather than a price that changes weekly, our San Diego partner quotes your exact minimum spend in writing when confirming, so you know the cost before you arrive.
What is the dress code at Nova?
Nova keeps an upscale nightlife dress code: stylish, dressed-up attire. Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, and overly casual looks. Your host manages the door with your table, and we confirm the current policy with your booking.
What time should I arrive at Nova?
Table guests generally arrive as the room fills, with the peak on weekends. Your MyRSVP host coordinates a specific arrival window so you are not waiting in line.
