Til-Two Club

Bartender Dave is always fun to be around with his loud ass jokes. I always know itll be a good and consistent drink, super fast service with him! Ive seen that place packed and hes like boom! Done, next! I really appreciate how fast it is he always holds it down so he deserved a good review. I also appreciate how he handles problematic drunks in order to keep the place safe! As a woman I reeeally appreciate that.

We went here on our twenty first and became regulars a year ago! Originally we had a five star with some great interactions with all of the bar tenders Some of the senior bartenders/ regulars reccomended us a few of the drinks that were made as a part of the menu and we've always had a great time with Mike, Matt, Hannah (?) and a few other bartenders, but tonight we came and ordered what we usually order and were met with extreme rudeness and plain being mean :-( They literally told us the drink was terrible and said they would refuse us next time if we ordered it again. I feel like for a random drink a simple no or a can you order something else is sufficient. Typically we have a great time but the energy tonight was definitely mean and we would've happily ordered something else. I'm really sad one of my favorite bars was ruined tonight when we brought all of our friends to enjoy boogie night :-( After talking to the people outside; confirmed it was a lot of people's experience tonight with these bartenders.

Everything you want in a dive bar. DJs were playing german goth/industrial while Hitchcock’s The Birds was on TV. Love it. Only wish they had a good IPA option regularly.

Love this little bar—chill vibes, great drinks, and awesome bartenders. David’s the best—super quick, always on point, and hilarious. I love talking about anime with him, especially Attack on Titan. He knows his stuff! Bonus: there’s always a cool movie playing when he’s around.

What would this place be without Lexie, she’s the best bartender and the main reason I come back. Love the vibe as well. Best service and atmosphere 😍

It's your proverbial dive bar, but in a good way. Very chill atmosphere. On a Monday night, even the DJ was playing music at a low enough level that you can still have a conversation.

Absolutely love coming to this place and seeing my favorite bartenders Dave and Lush! He always livens up the mood and makes great conversation while creating the best drinks!

Dopest place I’ve been too! Staff and overall atmosphere are always hella welcoming 😎 Definitely why it’s become my favorite (regular) ✨ to go wind down/ live music dive bar 🙌🏼 don’t even get me started on all the talent AF musicians like Mike Delgado/ classic record spinning DJ Warhol Mandy and more ✨🤘🏼

I've been coming to this bar for few months now. N I gotta say I ain't going anywhere. They have good music, good selection of beer and mix drinks. Also live bands play there and they put on a great show! I gotta say though, the main reason I keep coming back is cuz of the bartenders ! They are all pretty chill and respectful. But there it one person who I feel excels at her job and that's Lexie.! Always friendly, prepared and attentive.! Her customer service goes above and beyond. Always has a smile on her face and always happy to help. Definitely an experience that you guys need to check out. As always ppl, don't forget to tip your bartenders!!!!

Been coming here before covid and it's only gotten better. I've read the recent reviews and for people to complain about lexy being racist and rude is beyond comprehension. Maybe people need to be accountable for their own actions and stop playing the races card lexy is funny. I'm brown and she is always treating me with respect because I can handle my alcohol and I give respect. Drinks are good and prices are good try it out get over yourself

great place, a total vibe. and Lexi, the bartender is awesome. I'll be back For sure.

We were meeting some friends there for drinks and to listen to the music. It is a very vintage bar environment. We sat at the bar. Hannah, the bar tender, was very pleasant and accommodating. She knew the 80+ year history of the place. The music was fun and the drinks were perfect. Thanks Hannah for your helping to make this a fun evening.

Lexi is hands down the worst bartender I've ever dealt with. Rude, aggressive, and clearly biased. Treated us with zero respect and kicked us out without cause. Disgusting behavior.

Lexi is so much fun! Drinks are on point, fun and friendly. What else can you ask for in a bartender. She makes the best vodka amaretto. I know lots of bartenders and she makes the best ones

I use to really enjoy this bar, but i will not be returning. Bartender Lexi was hostile from the moment we walked in--no reason, just attitude. Terrible service, yelled at us, then kicked us out. Obvious racial bias. Avoid this place.

I can't believe I never knew about this place, but then again, I'm in North County most of the time! I discovered the Til Two Club on my Tiki Mug group on Facebook because they were doing a special Tiki Mug by Big Toe in October, so I put it on my calendar. I was all alone, so I went alone and this is my kind of bar! First, its standard dive bar. Its small, it smells like booze and its full of regulars who know each other. The other cool thing is they have a DJ or bands on the regular in the back. I'm dying to go back ASAP and see some of the bands! I was stoked to get a tiki mug that day... so stoked, I bought two! I got them both signed by Big Toe. Because I had to drive, I only had one of the drinks that came with the mug, it was a humdinger! What else would you expect in a mug called the Lava Rum Demon!?! Loved the drink even with the jager in it and love my mugs! Especially love the bar.... servers were all super friendly and its a really good vibe. I WILL BE BACK!!!!

This place is absolute trash, some buddies and I walked in and were immediately greeted by an "angsty" emo esque bartender who seemed so annoyed about our presence and did not make us feel welcome at all. The bar wasn't packed but he kept trying to rush us like it was. We get it, dive bars are gross and dingy, and we love that. but you shouldn't use that as an excuse to not care at all about the level of rudeness or low quality of drinks your staff can produce. Seriously how do you screw up well drinks AND be an angsty brat about it ? any way, after we order our drinks a buddy asks for another beer, the bartender snaps, throws a tantrum and has a full on My Chemical Romance style "I'm not okay" meltdown, he gets a beer from behind the bar, opens it and throws it at my friend across the bar top spilling it everywhere on him and his clothes. (crazy right? I thought so too) We weren't in there for more than 5 mins before i went up to the door man and asked him what the heck the problem was. All we did was order drinks, we weren't rude, weren't pushy, just ordered drinks. and yet that was still too much for fall out boy over there behind the bar, the door man told us "he is always like that, im sorry" what the hell is that? He then had us kicked out so the bartender could compose himself and continue to try to get through his shift, talk about pushovers. I gave a 1 star because amidst all that - we got our drinks for free. But if the bar by any chance ever reads this, you and your staff should be ashamed to call this a historic venue , this is a shithole that happens to be at the same place where a once historic venue once stood.

Bad day? Come here for a pick-me-up. Good day? Ride that high and come here for camaraderie and shenanigans. I'm a total recluse but made it my 2024 resolution to leave my house at a bare minimum, so imagine my surprise finding a community and friends here. In the past I've had regular bars, I've had bars that are regularly a bad time, but Til Two is now my happy place. I've had nothing but positive experiences here, even if someone was less-than-pleasant (as it sometimes happens at bars) because the staff are all incredibly supportive, vigilant, and clearly very genuinely invested in their patrons' well-being. The drinks are strong, the vibes are good, the music always hits, and it's consistently a good time. My only complaint is that I didn't start coming here sooner.

I had a misfortune interaction with the bartender Matt this evening. He was rude and had extremely inappropriate crude responses to my questions. Seeing as we are locals living one block away who frequent this business frequently, I was extremely disappointed in how I was treated. I would hate to see this behavior be the norm among your employees.

Excellent spot for small and intimate shows. The doorman and bartender were fantastic people on October 5th, 2024, from 9:00 PM-10:00 PM. I would go back for more shows.

If it's a dive bar you're looking for, this is a great one. I'm a little bias because my boyfriend and I met on our first date here . It's his usual spot, and now it's becoming somewhere I frequent with him. I can get intimidated walking into neighborhood dive bars... everyone seems to know everyone, it's all regulars and sometimes the service is pretentious. I always wonder "do they know I don't live around here??" NOT here though. Everyone is friendly and service is attentive. We've come for a punk concert which was fun too. Doorman is really nice and chatty! It's nice to see the owners around and the same cool bartenders on repeat visits. What really sealed the 5-star review for me was the holiday cocktail menu. I WISH I had taken a picture so I could remember the names for you, but alas, I didn't. We tried 4 off the menu and I loved every one! That's pretty rare for me. They weren't your basic holiday cocktails. Each one was creative, surprising and delightfully drinkable. A good mixture of smoky flavors, cinnamon, sweet... yum! I think it's fun that they do a "naughty" or "nice" mystery shot for $5. One day maybe I'll be daring and try it. Fun place, good people.

Always great bartenders. The girls are always super nice and really try hard to make a great cocktail. The prices are always great. Love coming here to hang out, talk and listen to music. Places like this are getting harder and harder to find. I love Rapture nights with goth and industrial music. But swing nights are always fun too. But people, make sure you treat the girls right and give good tips!!

So popped in here on a whim...... it's a small bar with nice half moon shaped booths and stools at the bar. There was space for a band in the back, but given the size of the place, it will probably be way too loud, there was a DJ in the front who played interesting music. The bartender was efficient and the drinks were affordable. Nobody bothered me or my friend and it was a really nice experience.

If you like the type of music and a quirky dive bar, this could be it. I'm too old for it.

Great dive bar w/ good music and friendly people including the owner Dottie. Good variety of people too.

Til Two Club is a dive bar and I mean that in the best possible way. It is a revamp of an establishment that opened in that location in 1942 and there are lots of elements that pay homage to its past including the classic booths and the wall full of mid century modern clocks, mostly set to 2:00. The Monday night we went they had replaced their regular karaoke with a live band that was only available that night. The music was not my style but was definitely a hit with the regular patrons. As for the patrons, on first appearance I'll have to admit I was a little intimidated by the amount of black and spikes but after sitting in a booth for about 30 minutes I saw that this rough and tough looking group was full of respectful, polite friends who seemed to welcome everyone and just generally have a good time. We initially came because we had seen the bar listed as having great craft cocktails so we tried two off of their house specials menu. It's clear that a lot of thought went into developing the menu and it's a shame that very few of these elaborate cocktails get ordered with patrons seeming to prefer beer, wine or traditional choices like Jack & Coke. I had a Raspberry Beret, much like a cosmopolitan, and my husband had the Funky Drummer which was good but had a faintly soap like aftertaste. Although we enjoyed ourselves I think we will leave this bar to its regulars from now on.

Great place to catch a show - cheap drinks and hood dive bar vibes!

The trivia here is amazing!!!! I VOMITED! Nah but seriously, this place has amazing live shows.

Worst freaking service. The bartender with dreads that worked the night on 5/12/22 was absolutely horrible, rude, and would rather be on her phone than servicing her bar. Will never be back, I'll rather drive 2 minutes up El Cajon to get to a bar with actual service.

Nice live music, good prices. Dope dive bar. Not to busy on a Wednesday night. Easy parking

Very nice bar and Sarah was AWESOME!!!! The live music made it even better!!!! Lots of great talent for the show they had! Prices are BEYOND reasonable. Great first time going there and will definitely be back there again!

Fun bar not far from home, we attended a tiki cocktail night here and everyone was SO friendly and cool. The culture here is super chill, highly recommend it.

Great place for drinks beers and cocktails. I love just a few blocks away so it's quickly becoming a favorite. On live music days the sound is great and the crowd decent and not too wild. They let you come in with food too so that's a plus for making it a great hangout spot. The lights are dim and colored, so it's a perfect atmosphere for a date or a hole in the wall by yourself. Will definitely keep coming back

I love this place. Super chill mellow. Great music. Chip and Tyler are amazing. Can't think of a better way to spend the night.

Great staff, fantastic drinks, cozy bar with killer punk shows. The best little bar in sd!!

Til Two is truly an oasis in the part of town. Great drinks, good live bands, and owners who actually care about their bar (unlike some places I could name).

I was actually really impressed with this place. My husband and I tend to not do the whole bar/club on Friday/Saturday night thing because we're old folks and hate not being able to have a conversation over loud music and gaggles of drunk people. The only reason we decided to hit this spot on a Saturday night was because our friend was down from Ventura County and he was DJing at Til Two that night. We arrived about 9PM and found a great parking spot along the side of the club and had no trouble grabbing a few stools at the bar. They have a decent craft beer selection on tap (we went with Green Flash West Coast IPA) and Netflix was playing on the TV behind the bar. As I settled in with my drink I started checking the place out for real. Yes, it's a bit... dingy? But it has a lot of character. I love all the vintage clocks behind the bar and the place has a definite cool vibe that I really appreciated. It wasn't trying too hard to be hip, it just was. I also started checking out the rest of the clientele and was impressed with the diversity of the people in there, and well, the serious lack of PB bros high-fiving each other and doing push-ups or whatever. Everyone in Til Two was super chill and even had some fashion sense. Imagine that! We ended up staying for a couple hours, just catching up with our friend at the bar before his set. They did end up turning the music in the back room up, but we were still able to talk (albeit in louder tones than we normally would) and have an enjoyable conversation over all that. People definitely started pouring in around 10PM and by the time we left around 1130PM, the place was jammed full of people. When we left our seats at the bar, a stampede of people went for them. I didn't check out the back room at all, but it seemed roomy enough for dancing or whatever the kids are doing these days. There was also an area between the bar and the back room where it looked like some artists were selling prints or posters or something creative and awesome. Overall a great place and both my husband and myself felt very comfortable there. It had more of the "LA vibe" we're used to and enjoy. It's a little out of our way, but I would definitely come back and try one of those weird Yoohoo specialty drinks.

I've been here about 12 times. Only once for trivia and it was really fun! The drinks were always good for the price, but it seems they stepped up their game. The drinks are better than they used to be. If you are a rum person, their rum selection is amazing for not being a tiki bar. Everyone has always been laid back and fun. Since the stage is pretty small, the bands really get going and are more energetic than they usually are. Great bar!!!!

Great neighborhood bar! Although I started visiting well before I was in the hood. Drink prices are fair and is a unique spot for sure. Bar tenders couldn't be better and most seem to have heavy hands . Nothing but great things to say about this bar and the staff! Do yourself a favor and give it a try sometime if you haven't already.

Came here with my girl and a couple buddies to support our friend's night of spinnin. Upon stepping into this bar, I had flashbacks from the old reincarnation of its former self, The Beauty Bar. The layout and decor is almost unchanged, except for the fact we came here on a not-so-busy night, and took control of the stage for our personal amusement. The DJs had a SlowJam/MakinLove music night, which was an awesome evenin. Of course, the people venturing here on a Saturday night were cool and relaxed as well, as a bar should be. (Pic of me and my friends controlling the stage)

Dear Mr. Manager person, I went to your venue tonight for the first time and had a pretty good time - for the most part. Drinks were decently priced, the bathrooms were useable, and the bands were rad. However, my (and my friends) night quickly took a bad turn. Your strawberry-blondish leprechaun security guard assaulted my best friend. As she was walking away, he violently grabbed an item she was holding, and threw it away. I find it highly concerning that he would treat paying customers in this manner. What a way to ruin a night.

Just a notice to those spending their hard-earned money in there: 4 days after I bought 2 beers and 2 beers only, I received a bank alert that Til Two Club had charged my card AGAIN without me being present. 10 phone call attempts and a voicemail later, I still have not heard back from them. Shady ..

I was at this bar to support an old coworkers's punk rock band's album release and so sorry to say that but my credit card got cloned and I started seeing charges on my credit card starting with another charge next night at this exact place which I am sure I did not go and some random ones on the following week so even you decide to go there just don't use your credit card..parking also not very easy and neighborhood is super shady so just consider yourself warned!!

Nice little throw back type bar! Prices are good and glad I stopped by. May have to come back down to SD for a show sometime at this place. Cheers to keeping history alive!

I go to dives. But this isn't a dive. Don't mistake the two. And I'm in no way cool enough for Til Two. Remember that school dance scene from Clueless where Brittany Murphy character's Simon (rollin with the homies) stood fidgeting around and had that look of awkwardness? That's a similar feeling I get walking into this place: I'm just not cool enough. To even think that having listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers or Dave Matthews, even STP gives me street cred? Nope. God knows growing up on hip hop and R n B, didn't make me cool; It was a by product of where I grew up from. ( Viva Los Angelés). For some reason I don't get that feeling from similar venues like Bar Pink and recently, Live Wire. With Bar Pink, possibly it's becoming a little more mainstream? Who knows. But Till Two, I can't seem to shake that thought or feeling. Truth, no one here probably gives a rat's ass. They are that cool. Dark lit atmosphere, cool tatted kids all around dressed in black and solid Ts, bands playing with lyrics that I dare not even try to sing along to, let alone understand, while I awkwardly bounce my head. I'm a little out of place and it's a little intimidating for this hip hop chic, but as they say...opposites do attract. Then again, who likes good, stiff drinks on the cheap? /raises hand

Mick who owns Tower Bar has got the spot that used to be Beauty Bar. He said he put a lot of hard work into revamping the place. I definitely like the booths that are now lining the walls where the hairdresser chairs used to be... although I quite liked those chairs and would have loved one in my living room. Of course Til-Two has a full bar. The stage area is indoor/outdoor but no smoking out there anymore. Is it a sin to check-in on Foursquare and not Yelp? Forgive me, Danny, for I have sinned. But it's a good thing I did! The co-proprietor, Danielle, left a Quick Tip: Order a "Cupcake" It's AMAZING! And you know what? She was right! I ordered it as a full beverage, but you can choose it in shot form if that is more to your liking. In less than a minute I had in front of me a martini glass filled with vanilla vodka and orange juice and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Look out for soon-to-come signature drinks, such as (hopefully) the German Landing Strip Vagina! If any of you buggers decide to come out to Til-Two, you're invited to pass out at my place a drunken hop skip and jump away.

Pretty much my favorite place to drink in all of San Diego County. The owner and the tenders are great. I feel right at home here and you will too. Stay for awhile, see a band and drink Till two. Ok, I know that was cheesey and I'm sorry but it's a great place and it deserves your love and affection.

The atmosphere is funky, the owner and employees all very cool. Music is great. Just when things are feeling a wee bit to plastic in San Diego head to this oasis of style and substance

OH MAN... FIRST! AND I added the listing WHHAAAAABAMMMM... If you don't know already, this is the spot that replaced the Beauty Bar. It's owned by the guy who owns Tower Bar and he's partnered up with one of the guys from the Casbah (he runs Cave Punk records) and... it's great. They changed out the furniture and added booths where the stupid hair dryers used to be on the bar opposite wall. On a recent visit, the guy working the door was a d*** but everyone else working there was pretty cool. I don't begrudge door men their livelyhood, but when you are working the door at a new venue- try to put a smile on your face, ok? Anyway- love this place- hottest new bar in San Diego- check out the live music ASAP.

Well now. It's back. In a sense at least. All of the BB enthusiasts are likely going to cry rapids of rivers and speak mountains of bitching about Til-Two just like they did for Scolari's and so many other things. Looks like nobody wins these days. If someone does something great, apparently the older, cooler version was better. I still like South Park, Zeppelin, and Pinky and the Brain. They are old. Yet just because the Black Keys are getting famous does not remotely detract from the quality of the tunes. It's not about how elitist it is. It is about quality. On Yelp, if you didn't know by now, I judge places based upon my personal experience. Not what the populace says. This bar has some great things going for it. The sad fact is, you may no longer smoke indoors. (poof goes the 5 star review) Yet the ambiance, sound quality, drink strength, and overall sexy/cool/friendly vibe of the crowd hasn't dropped a notch in my book. The decorations have changed. The vibe is the same. It's as if the Casbah has a little brother that is almost as excellent, only he lives in a different state. The staff was super friendly, attentive, hard-working, and skilled. You wanted a drink? It's busy? Guess what. You got it, and quickly. I am as thankful as a monkey in the bananananana fields of Hawaii that the current bar maintains the dedication to loud, live, unique, not-necessarily-successful bands as the old owners did. That is all to say, if you weren't into the older bar, you may not yet grasp what you're missing out on. Yeah. It's in the hood. Yeah you've gotta make the journey there. Well guess what. Nothing great comes easy. Just go, rock out, check out the acts of the evening and consider yourself luckier for living in SD. Four Stars for something Well Done that isn't steak or a _____

Loved this place! Went there to meet someone & was pleasantly surprised. The area is a bit dodgy so being a single girl living in suburbia and walking down there after being away from there for so long was pretty "exciting". I walk into the place it looks small but then goes pretty far back where they have a stage and have band play. Very small venue. They have cool little booths up front (u shaped) and have great cocktails, IPAs, beers, etc to choose from. A wide variety of ages and people go there which was cool and no one seems to look at you like wth are you doing here? There was a ska band playing that night so there were some ska & punk younger people she's basically all the way from 21 to 65 no joke! Good vibe through out, just a great experience over all. Highly recommend!

I am at a loss of words to describe how HORRIBLE this place was. I went there last night and it was like 8 something and I had to pay a $5 cover... waaaak! Went in and me and my girlfriend were literally THE ONLY females in there. There was no music playing and the bartender looked like she was 17. I ordered 2 drinks and they were horrible! super watered down. The lights were not dim at all, they were very bright and you could see everyone up in there.. and there was only like 8 ppl total. We felt uncomfortable and dipped out only after about 5 mins of being there.

North Park bars are becoming inundated with a new wave of bar goers and I now find myself leaving my beloved neighborhood in search of new venues to spend my money at and this bar is at the top of the list. Its also a great place to check out a live band or two while sucking down cheap drinks. Its not fancy and its not pretty but I like it. Very cool looking sign. Its in City Heights so Im pretty sure that the local tourists from north and east county would never come here.

I really liked this place and that's based on a visit when there was hardly anyone there. It seems a dive, but has more class/style. The bartender was both nice and attentive, and the drink prices were great. As it's relatively small/narrow with a big stage, I can also imagine others having completely different experiences depending on the crowd when busy. In other words, your milage might vary. But on a neutral night with no band, it was a fun, cool place to unwind.

Cool club to see a show at or just to pop in and chill. I saw Iron Chic and Dan Padilla play here a little while ago and it's cool that the area for the shows is all the way in the back in case you want a little conversation up in the front. The sound for the shows could really be improved but hey, its a bar, not a concert hall. The ladies room was probably the cleanest I've EVER seen a bar bathroom and was well stocked. Good pours, good spot.

I like this bar! Slightly on the divey side, but not truly a dive bar. Came here for a reggae show the other night and had a good time. Drinks are good, venue is average sized, comfortable, really chill. The show itself was kinda weird... never been to a reggae show that was primarily instrumentals, so we didn't think it was that great, but the bartenders were cool, drinks were cheap, and parking was easy. Really relaxed place to grab a drink and listen to music with friends. Kinda has the feel of how North Park probably was before some of the bars became more douchey.

i've always liked this place since The Beauty Bar, i dont know...i guess there's something about it that i feel comfortable with. The lady behind the bar that works there most of the week is good at remembering faces and is very nice and courteous. I have tried the sweet drinks (i saw it recommended on foursquare), and yes, it was not a smart option after drinking beer and vodka. Don't get the sweet drinks! no wip cream on drinks! ok? ok. Their beer selection is good! They have a nice variety which goes from Stella, Racer5, to Arrogant Bastard, Bohemia (good mexican dark beer), to their very own Till Two lager. Lastly, they have kick ass punk shows on fridays every now and then, but watch cout, they sell out most of the time :D
