S.E.S. Portuguese Hall of San Diego

Old fashioned but very nice! Saw a wonderful "Always...Patsy Kline!"

Great venue for shows. Raised stage so not a bad seat in the house! Plenty of room backstage for performers. A wonderful old fashioned bar down the hall. Prices are reasonable. Bathroom facilities as well. If you follow maps to the destination don't listen at the end. After the front door w steps there is ample free parking in a lot. Maps will have you passing it and veering the wrong way!

Way too much favouritism in this place. Very noisy due to the fact people are drinking and the more they drink the Louder, they get. You’re totally distracted all night with everyone in the place saying shhhhhhhhhhhhhh loudly all night including the caller on the mic! Management should be the only ones asking the hall to keep the noise down. Enforce the rules as this can become a very volatile environment.

BINGO REVIEW I wanted to leave a review to let people know what to expect because my friends and I attended for the first time — there is no signage or instructions, and the volunteers/attendees were not helpful or kind. Come early to find parking and a seat. These people are cut throat - I got cut off in the parking lot, and in the huge hall people gave us so much side eye when looking for seats! Everyone had their stuff spread out across extra chairs so it was hard to find a group of seats. Buy in is CASH ONLY. You can buy the games you want to play or $25 for all the main games, and a $3 dabber pen. There are also extra add on games you can buy that seem to increase your chances and prize money. They have a bar that takes cash or card with affordable drinks, you can go up to purchase or wait until someone comes around the bingo hall to take orders throughout the game. it seems you can also bring your own snacks and non alcoholic drinks too. I think there were 8 main games and we were there from 630-930pm with a break at 745-8. They have screens that show the current game and the numbers called, which was helpful because the vibe is chaotic (microphone hard to hear over everyone talking, they don’t really explain the rules just expect you to know, plus they are also announcing numbers for the add on games at the same time as the main game). We tried asking around for help but people take this game SERIOUSLY so didn’t want to be bothered, and the volunteers were not very knowledgeable — Honestly you get the hang of it after a while but just expect to be confused. TLDR; expect chaos, affordable drinks, grouchy people, but fun bingo and large prizes!

Beautiful place!! Would recommend! Only reason for not giving 5 is because I did not rent the hall, I was a guest, so I don't know the cost of the venue.

Went for a fisherman's swap meet and found good down to earth folks. Found great deals on lures and refilled my box for the baja! I was all smiles to see antiques as well as high quality stuff by various folks selling their surplus and new items. Recommend for you fishermen out there.

Went to bingo tonight for the first time. Pretty good buy-in price and better odds than a casino (2 people in my party both won). They have great payouts. I will say the food was pretty good, but they were under prepared. My hamburger was supposed to come with chips, but they ran out. They also ran out of napkins. They also ran out of regular coffee and only decaf was available. Other than that...the workers were very nice and helpful with questions. It was a good time over-all.

A very nice Hall. The 1st Tikitrader of 2022 was a fun-filled show. Enjoyed by everyone who attended...😄
