Editorial Review of Stingaree

Stingaree, the Gaslamp Quarter’s largest and most glamorous nightclub, is quite literally hot enough to sting. This superclub is the most prominent indication that San Diego’s downtown is joining the ranks of such outstanding nightlife destinations as Los Angeles, New York and Las Vegas. Named after the city’s turn-of-the-century red light district, the club spans three levels. The street-level space is always crammed with clubbers, and floating staircases lead to the VIP mezzanine. The rooftop bar, sizzling with fire pits and beautiful people, is an open-air celebration. Don’t expect to leave without spending a pretty penny; nightlife this dazzling calls for resilient bankbooks. Get Stung a little earlier with Happy Hour, featuring a half-priced lounge menu, half-priced signature cocktails, half-priced wine by the glass, and $5 wells, $3 bottles and drafts: Tuesday - Friday 5-8pm, Thursday extended 5-10pm.

Added 04/26/11 Worth it

Definitely a splurge, but so worth it. the rooftop is a welcome relief from the dance floor which is always packed with people dressed to the nines. they even have cute mini champagne bottles!

Added 04/20/11 Dent your wallet

Such a double edged sword here. Maybe my favorite nightclub Downtown but I usually pass right over it due to, er, financial constrictions. Call me a cheapskate, I don't mind. Won't be coming here regularly unless I get some hookups or a group of rich friends.

Added 04/15/11 Dinner and Dancing

Stingaree is a fun place to have a nice dinner and then meet up with friends and dance after. I recommend going early because they have a great happy hour also.

Added 07/18/10 Incredible Happy Hour Treats

Went to happy hour on a thursday eve with 1/2 price menu items / appetizers. Awesome. Great drinks and gourmet food at a steal of a price. Three of us could not stop ordering the varied treats on the menu. Definitely a very well kept secret as there were few people there to enjoy it.

Sting is a great place to go see performers, drink, and hang out. I love the upstairs, its perfect to hang out and drink with friends. The local Dj spinning upstairs are great too!

Added 09/21/09 Always Most Fun!

No matter where else I go party (Ivy, Belo, On Broadway…) I ALWAYS have the most fun at Sting. The rooftop is cool (especially the little raised lounges by the bar), sometimes they even have fashion shows up there, but the mezzanine level is the most fun for me. If you’re friends have a table (or if you’re a cute girl you can charm your way in…) you can go to the VIP mezzanine area where there’s fun dancing, short bar lines and a super hot crowd. The other places are cool, but nothing’s more fun than Stingaree.

Added 04/23/08 Stingaree in San Diego

Two weeks ago I went down to Sting on both Friday and Saturday - was on the guest list both nights, but still had to wait in line. Despite being on the list and arriving at 9:30, I was still in line for at least 30 minutes. The line just kept getting worse once we got in. The club was packed but still inviting, it was a good crowd, bartenders were speedy - very attentive.

Added 08/28/07 Stingaree in Downtown is so much fun

Stingaree in Downtown was really cool. There are three floors all that are crowded with people dancing. It def. was expensive for drinks. There was kind of an older crowd, well older men crowd with younger ladies. Fun music, very upbeat and fancy.

Overy hyped

This place is architectually large BUT the layout of the interior is tight and claustrophobic. There is a lot of pushing and shoving to get anywhere. There is a small dancefloor on the bottom level but not much room to dance. The middle floor is a waste of space. The rooftop is nice though but that's probably because you can feel the air on your face as you squeeze yourself through the crowd. There is a ratio of 1 bouncer for every 10 people. It seems as if there are bouncers everywhere you look. Not sure if that is really necessary for a club that touts itself as on of the classier nightclubs downtown. Don't think that you should feel safe because there are so many bouncers. There is one in particular that has a screw loose and the others will back up their own. All in all, this is a over hyped, mediocre nightclub. Rumor has it that it will be shutting down soon.

Added 08/27/07 Bartender service is horrible

Horrible experience, because the bartender was so rude...What kind of bartender say "I don't care" to customer. If you want to have good time don't go here...go to On Broadway or Eden's rooftop instead.

Added 07/23/07 Partay at Stingaree

Stingaree appears to be a hip place to be. I was invited here to attend a bday celebration. We were all treated like kings and queens in a VIP dining area. The portions were tiny, but the presentation and service was top-notch. The music that plays throughout is pretty good, but the bouncers on the first floor will give you a hard time if you try to make it to the restroom by cutting throught the dining area.

Added 06/04/07 Mixed Thoughts!!!

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this club.There are tons of beautiful people that come here.But most of the girls are unapproachable, because there waiting for Shawne Merriman to show up or some other high roller.I really don't think they have a dance floor and I guess its more of a lounge, then a club.I love the patio area up stairs.I think the price is high, considering they have been open for some time now.The price of drinks is outrageous to me.But if your looking to hang out with some beautiful people, then this is the place to be
