The long time Gaslamp staple, Side Bar!
Side Bar packs two moods into a compact 2,500 square feet: a sultry lounge side and a higher-energy club side. The dual layout lets a group claim its own zone without losing access to the main action, which is part of why birthdays and bachelorette parties gravitate here. It has anchored this stretch of the Gaslamp Quarter since 2008.
A custom LED wall and top-tier sound system anchor the dance floor, where rotating DJs spin house, hip-hop, and Top 40. Lounge-side tables seat up to 6 guests and club-side VIP tables up to 12, both angled for sightlines to the booth. The venue's signature Side Barbies run bottle service across premium spirits, champagnes, and craft cocktails, and the room has built its reputation on quality talent and an upscale-yet-rowdy energy.
