ProsGood musicConsToo many to listConclusionIf you like a place that there is no chance of having a conversation and paying 15.00 a drink...then this is for you.
Really pretty LAME! The surroundings are nice enough, but unfortunately the hype doesn't match the essence. With huge lines promoting a feeling of exclusivitely, that is quickly proven wrong once you get inside. A normal bar crowd of twenty and thirty-somethings all seeming to pretend they're far more important than they really are. Security acts as if you're going to see the president. For all the hype, I kept wondering when I was going to understand why. I never did. The music was great, but people are more concerned with being "seen" than dancing, so it seems utterly wasted. In the ultra lounge people gather attempting to look "cool" enough to be photographed by one of the roaming photographers that seem more like court jesters, in hopes to be posted on the website I suppose. Drinks are overpriced and under poured...and that's if you can get one of the very rude bartenders to serve you. Overall, the ultra lounge and club at Ivy are an unsuccessful attempt at a Vegas style club. Alot of pretention, but no real substance. It was bad enough that valet was $30.00...I'm just glad that I was on the VIP and didn't have to wait in line or pay to get into such a disappointment.

  • Really? I Disagree

I think like anywhere there is going to be some good nights and some nights that aren't "vegas-like". But the bottom line is that as far as San Diego goes I think Envy and the Ivy in general (ultra lounge and Eden) have one of the best crowds. I think it's a pretty awesome mix of people too rather than some of the other decent choices which can seem to be dominated by one "type" of crowd. Other than the expensive Valet service, which if you can't afford you don't have to use, I think it's an awesome place to spend the evening as there is so much variation to enjoy.0 out of 0 found this comment helpful.

  • Where should I go?

I'm coming to San Diego next with some friends. we're coming in from Phoenix. I'm reading these reviews and want to know where my friends and I should go. We like more of the lounge clubs (laid back real hip-hop). Where will we find that?0 out of 0 found this comment helpful.
