Queen Bee's
Queen Bee's mission is to support local musicians & artists by opening up their space to a wide variety of concerts & events. They also donate 18% of their profits to helping homeless youth in San Diego through various charitable organizations.
Inside Queen Bee’s you will find many things going on at once. Their main room, with a capacity of 250, contains their main-stage, and a huge dance floor, as well as several walls for hanging artwork. The main room features a bamboo hardwood dance floor, custom ceiling fans, crystal chandaliers, multi-colored walls, comfortable padded chairs & couches, and more, in a warm, inviting environment. Queen Bee’s boasts a professional-grade concert sound system, capable of entertaining up to 300 guests at full volume. Their stage is large enough to hold a 15 piece band. Also, Queen Bee’s has a resident sound engineer on staff with over 20 years of experience to handle all the technical parts of any concert or production.
In addition to the main room, Queen Bee’s also has a 3D art gallery room that features the work of one of the resident artists at Queen Bee’s. This is the only 3-D Art Exhibit of it’s kind. In addition to an art gallery, this room also has another hardwood dance floor, as well as an espresso/snack bar. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also a secondary sound system which is capable of either background music, or acoustic performances as well.
Queen Bee’s is located in historic building that originally contained the first Dixieline Lumber back in the 1930′s. They have tried to keep a majority of the building intact, while keeping a welcoming, semi-vinatage vibe. They have occupied this space since early 2009, and chances are every time you go in, you will notice something new. They are constantly striving to improve every aspect of the space to create a more intersting experience for everyone.
Queen Bee’s is primarily a family-oriented venue, and the only one of it’s kind in the neighborhood. They host two 21+ events per month, and work with local restaraunts & caterers when events require it. They often have events & classes in both the daytime and night-time 7 days a week.
