Whiskey Girl

My wife and I were the only ones in the restaurant for the lunch hour. Now Mind, you this was a Monday afternoon and we had everybody’s attention. Our waitress was very friendly but easily distracted by the bartender she never came back to check and see if we needed refills on our water or sodas. The food was mid at best. I would say that the tots were so heavily seasoned with salt that they were unbearable almost to the point where you thought did the lid fall off the salt container. I would’ve sent them back, but we couldn’t get the attention of the waitress as she was still flirting with the bartender. Like I said nobody treated us poorly and I don’t have anything bad to say about them personally, other than I just felt like the service was off and the food was definitely off. We had walked by this place a couple times during our stay and visit the gas lamp and decided to give it a try. I think it would be a fun place to get drinks, but I would skip the food.

Ordered the whiskey burger with tater tots which comes with a shot of Jack Daniels! Our waitress was friendly and beaming with positive energy. One person in our group had a mistake with their order. The waitress took care of it fast. Plenty of screens to watch various sports.

Overall, this is a fun spot but BE AWARE, this spot is known for pick pocketers and people stealing others things. I had my phone stolen out of my purse that I was wearing/carrying the entire time and it even had a latch to close (I was not drunk). Our entire group was with each other and well aware of our surroundings but it still somehow happened. Please be aware as there is nothing the bar or security can do. When asked a few locals in the area, they said this spot is KNOWN for this happening consistently and often.

One of my favorite spots in Gaslamp! Great atmosphere and food. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing 1st time experience at this establishment tonight(a Monday). I'm visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place because I heard karaoke from a distance as I was walking. The entire staff was so welcoming and polite. Bartenders, Security, karaoke host(and host assistants), all had amazing energy. The venue has plenty of space for seating and standing. They also have a beer/water pong table. Ample seating at the bar, if that's your preference. I looooove how there are multiple stalls in the womens restrooms. Age range of the customers varied and blended together. Karaoke queue was long(as expected), but the rotation was very fair. I highly recommend this place, and definitely will be coming back next time I come to San diego.

Terrible waitress- felt ripped off when she charged me separately for whiskey and cola. I was only shown the final bill on her hand held machine, & she said it’ll be on my receipt after I pay. I gave a reasonable tip only to see she had charged a 20% gratuity for our party anyway which she didn’t mention prior. My partner waited a very long time for his drink - when she finally got to us, she said they were out of the high noon he ordered. I had wings. They were luke warm & just ok. Nobody in our group liked this place but were happy I let them know the tip was already added since I paid first & the waitress didn’t feel she should mention it. Ohhh yes, how could I forget: started off with pitchers of water and sticky nasty cups we later found out were for beer pong. Just avoid this place!

We stopped in here because Chris Stapleton took over San Diego with Cowboy hats and left us with 2 hour waits all over the restaurant scene, so we settled for a 15 minute wait at Whiskey Girl. I used to come here when I was a youngster for drinks but never the food, but I'm glad I tried food this time. The drinks and the food were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.

I had a very enjoyable experience here on a busy evening. The bartender was very attentive and provided excellent service. Overall, it was a positive and memorable experience. I highly recommend this establishment as a place to visit.

Whiskey Girl - It's Like Mar-a-Lago Met Spring Break and Everyone Won Folks, let me tell you--I walked into Whiskey Girl and thought, is this a bar or a celebration of American greatness? The answer is yes. It's a restaurant, a sports bar, a dance club, and a beer pong battleground all in one. Tremendous, really. First off, the vibe--absolutely electric. You've got flat screens everywhere showing sports (all the best teams, none of that woke nonsense), thumping music that makes even Mike Pence want to shuffle his feet, and energy so high you'd think we just won another election. (Some say we did--still looking into it.) Now let's talk about the real action: beer pong. I haven't seen competition like this since the Republican primary. Incredible arm strength, perfect wrist flicks--like throwing classified documents into a secure box (very securely, believe me). I sank three in a row and the whole place exploded. People chanted, "Four more throws!" Very emotional. Beautiful. The food? Classic American with a gourmet twist. I had a burger so good, it could have a tower named after it. Fries? Crispy, golden, successful--just like me. And the whiskey cocktails? Let's just say I've never had this much fun drinking something that didn't come in a Diet Coke can. The dance floor? YUGE. People were dancing like it was the Fourth of July meets election night. I didn't personally dance--I don't want to start a frenzy--but I nodded rhythmically and it was powerful. The DJ even played "YMCA," and let me tell you, I was tempted. Bottom line: Whiskey Girl is where patriotism, partying, and pong come together. It's bold, it's beautiful, and it's the kind of place where winners go to unwind. I'm giving it five red Solo cups out of five. Would I return? In a landslide. -- Donald J.

Would NOT recommend. The tables were sticky. We do not believe their beer lines are that clean. They were "Out" of 3 different bottles/canned beers that we asked for to try to avoid the draft beer. Little bugs flying around the bar. We kept getting whiffs of a strong vomit smell. The good side of this place there was not a wait. Good playlist. And plenty of sports on the plethora of TV's.

We came here on a thur night for karaoke night. It was pretty dead. They have a live band that plays music while you sing. So the songs are limited. It was fun to watch people sing. It's a pretty spacious place. The drinks were decent. We had fun for what it was. I hear Fri and Sat are more crowded and lively. We ordered margaritas, vodka in the rocks and the watermelon slushie. All decent drinks for about $13 each. I give this place 3.5 stars.

Came back a little while ago. Wanted to get a quick bite to eat. I was seated right away and surprised to see Fajitas on the menu. It wasn't priced to bad $20 and had a Coke for $3 My server was Debra and she was very attentive and gave me a refill without asking. The fajitas were not bad at all and the flour tortillas were decent as well. I would order them again. Since this was during the day it wasn't very loud at all and I was in and out within 45 mins. I'll be back again. Next time for the Whiskey Burger!

I loved everything about this place! Found it while walking around looking for somewhere to eat and have cocktails. It was also one of the only places open at 11am on a Friday in the area. We were in the mood for a burger and drinks and this place did not disappoint! The menu had a good selection of bar food and one of the cocktails on the menu, The Painkiller, was so good!! There is a ton of seating available and the waitress was on it! She was very attentive. Clean place, friendly staff, large TVs that played music videos. We had a lot of fun and we were very happy with all the food and drinks we ordered.

Staff was friendly and attentive, food was great... lots of options to choose from, and the location was 10/10!

Had a blast at this bar on a Saturday night. The place was lively and had a fun crowd until closing time at 2am. Our drinks were good, the disco ball was gorgeous, and the tvs on display added a nice touch. Wasn't insanely crowded too on a Saturday night, still had plenty of room to dance and have fun while maintaining an energetic atmosphere. Although the music was kind of mediocre at times, they did have a few crowd hits once in a while. Wished the DJ would read what songs the crowd was enjoying though because it was very noticeable when the vibes were and weren't there for certain songs/genres.

Offer $6 drink tickets but when you go to redeem they charge $9.75+ tax. Happened to me and my friend and while Ray M stated he refunded the charge and then charged the correct price there was no way to verify and he was not able to provide a receipt to state he reversed the charge. Meanwhile my friend went to Tracey K and she charged him $9.75+ tax and tried to give him extra $6 cards for the extra charge, claimed it was only for bud light, but if that was the case then Ray M would have stated that. Plus the night before we walked by here and got these same tickets and there were no issues, we were charged $6.47 after tax.

I love whiskey girl . The vibe is very welcoming and friendly . I always have a blast here . Last time I was here we had a lot of fun playing beer pong . I highly recommend.

Five of us stopped at Whiskey Girl while on a little day drinkinig adventure. We sat at a 5-top that was plenty large enough to comfortably accommodate us all. Claire with the gorgeous red hair and dazzling eyes was our server and she was great. She was efficient and attentive and was great with drink recommendations. Becky and I stayed with our usual beer and seltzers. Draft Modelo for me, not her favorite, but Bex went with the watermelon White Claw. I can't remember everyone's drinks of choice. I do know that one of our companions had the Spicy Aqua Fresca ( Jalapeño Cucumber tequila/ Cucumber Syrup/ Soda/Sprite Press shaken with cucumber and jalapeño...with a Tajin Rim) She liked it enough to order a second one! Prices were as expected for a Saturday afternoon in the Gaslamp. Service from Claire was great. It was a good time at Whiskey Girl.

Food was ok nothing special. Service was a bit slow . Glad that there is lots of TVs to watch sports

Boyfriend asked for a good whiskey drink and bartender said "Old fashioned". thinking that there might be some creative whiskey menu since it is called "whiskey girl". Ambiance was ok.

We got the caprese flatbread and the buffalo skillet fries. The flatbread was our least favorite and something i could have made at home. The fries were honestly delicious though! So it's a very dark restaurant giving a speakeasy vibe, but overall didn't stand out. It was super busy bc there was fight that night,but the service was overall good. I happened to knock over my drink and that gave me a new one on the house and were very kind about it. It is in downtown san diego so the prices were a bit harsh for as simple of food that we got i'd say.

Came here before a Pardres game for happy hour! Great place for a quick bite and drinks. Was served/hosted by Chrissy. She was incredibly attentive and nice. She came to our table several times despite being busy. She honestly made our experience so much better!

Great place to have a drink. Great service friendly staff. Live band great time zzzzzzzzz

Girls at the front were giving out $6 drink cards so I came in. Gave the bartender Ray M the card and then asked to close out, bad idea, should have waited for him to hand me the bill because he charged me full price, then charged the right amount but he could not provide a receipt or any evidence that the initial over charge was credited back so that's why I'm posting the review score as is. Now I have to keep an eye on the credit card go make sure the first charge was reversed. His mistake and yet he had attitude as if it was my fault and me asking for a receipt of the charge being credited back was a big ordeal! He made a mistake and least he could have done was fixed it! Got worse, my friend then used his $6 draft ticket and Tracey said it was only for bud light and charged full price! Terrible practices and basically trying to take advantage of people who might have had too much to drinks!

This is a great bar, I've lived downtown for 12 years always a cool vibe. My only question is why is it always so dark. You look at other places and they're lit up I think that helps draw a crowd other than that great place!

Great service, food and drinks! Friendly staff and add all the sports playing. The environment and music was great for a Saturday afternoon

Great spot for Sunday Football. The food and drinks are good but the service from VAL was exceptional. She always knew when to bring drinks and better yet she had great recommendations. Make her a bartender!

my friend and I came out this weekend and Britney the bartender was super fun and personable and memorable! (:

I was SA here. My husband saw the guy who put his hand up my skirt. My husband reacted. We got escorted out. The guy who touched me without my consent was allowed to stay in. Best believe I have a police report.

What a great spot! The vibe at Whiskey girl is absolutely unbeatable. The music was on point all night, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and have fun. I wasn't even planning to stop in at first, but the host at the door Aya was so welcoming and enthusiastic that I couldn't resist. I'm so glad I did! The energy inside was amazing, the staff was friendly, and the overall experience made for a memorable night. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!

We only stopped in for drinks before a concert at Petco Park - and had a great time! The bar looks out to 5th ave which is fun for people watching. Strong drinks and fast service. Dive bar style, good music, beer pong and jenga set up to play. Very close to petco park.

Nice Bar only problem I had is a Bud Light is 8.50 on a Monday Night. Usually bars have specials on slow nights. Qont come back here

Line dancing Wednesdays are so fun! There is plenty of room for dancing and the DJ plays any dances you want- beginner through advanced.

New Years 2025 went well. Fun dance floor after 10:30 pm. Music was a 3.8, would have loved more House or Techno to dance to. Mixed age group from 21 to 61....

I ate there yesterday (06/10/2024) my food was great service was Amazing. Thanks for the great time !

Outside seating early evening on a Wednesday. Yummy whiskey burger split with hubs. French fries good but disappointingly not hot. Honey whiskey shot (really not really a full shot) good. Cauliflower appetizer also not hot or crispy smothered in underwhelming buffalo sauce. Happy hour house wine just okay. We were pleasantly full with no regrets given the price point and friendly efficient service. ~ EG Eats

Big space great for groups and watching games. They play all the college and nfl games in the weekends. Food is typical bar food, and beers on tap are on par with others in the area. We had a big group so had a few servers over the course and they were all nice and attentive. Not very full on a Saturday afternoon, but night time here is a different story

This was a random stop as I was walking through downtown. I settled here and decided watch some football. The atmosphere is like any typical of a sports bar. Sitting at the bar was a refreshing experience as I was able to have a conversation with the bartender, something that COVID took away. The beer was good, and so was the burger. Good for large groups and watching games.

Service is 100000% horrible !!!!! There was a fight and I was somehow in the middle of the dance floor and I got punched in the face. I tried to reach out to security and this is the security guy I went Up to and told him I got punched but guess what he said ? You got punched because your guys were fighting... so this so call man couldn't help me ?! that is the most f up thing I've ever dealt with. I don't care what a guy is fighting for but YOU don't not let a girl get punched in the face for no reason at all. Best believe I'm not letting this go at all. And he thinks me getting hit in the face is okay? Fuck this guy for thinking that women getting hit is okay. I was able to get the hat of the guy that punched me and it was their own security. I'm pretty sure it was this guy who punched me. I can't wait to see the footage and bring this to my lawyer.

Dirty cups TWICE after sending the first one back ... First cup looked like they gave it to us from another table Second cup had lipstick didn't even bother cleaning

Great fun last night and fun trade! Good drinks, fun team, good music and more memories.

The expectations are low but this bar continuously fails to exceed them. Been here five times and from it being boiling hot to servers not being able to accommodate simple requests and how long it takes to order a drink with a dozen servers hiding in the back with their AC. I'll probably be back but it's because my friends force me again. "If you're hot go to stand in the bathroom - it's cool in there." Everything about this place is weird.

This was an okay place for a slightly older guy like me. I say that because it was very loud and kinda crowded for a Thursday. That said the staff was very friendly but a little slow getting to me and others, but, they were quite busy. This is one of the seemingly few places open late in the, my opinion, ruined gas lamp district. I had the french dip sliders and they were actually quite good. I also had a few beers. They have a fair selection but could be colder.

Tried charging me a cover because of the way I looked, if you're not attractive enough for the bouncer you'll have to pay a cover plus drinks are extremely expensive

I was there during ComicCon. So it was busy and crazy, but the everyone that was working was awesome. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I got the chicken tacos and was very happy with my choice.

These are the most unprofessional bouncers. The food is nothing special, bar food, but nothing even remotely memorable. There are girls on the street calling people in, they don't mention the bouncers are on a power trip, and it's the ambiance is the most average place ever. DO NOT GO.

Came here for playoff football & Val took great care of us. She was friendly & attentive. I got the bottomless mimosas & she made sure my drink was never empty.

Val is a great server. Experience at whiskey girls has been good the whole time. Came in for the game left with a bottle in my system. Come see ya girl!

Restaurant was a fun Vibe with good food and drinks. We had an amazing server Val who made the experience that much better. She was on top of everything. Anytime we go back we will only be sat in her section.

I've been to SD for yrs and never visited gaslamp area. I would say i probably would have enjoyed it much more when i was younger. My friends said their uber driver told them its a place where a bunch of very young kids hangout and oh how right they were. I felt out of place and in addition felt like i was in the middle of covid city. It felt weird to say i was literally the ONLY one wearing a mask. I wanted to go home bad but i did not want to be a party pooper and just prayed i don't get sick during finals week. But im here to rate on the bar ao why 3 stars. Unsure if they regularly charge or mainly due to it being a Labor Day wknd holiday so the whole street was taking advantage of the weekend to cash out but they were charging $10/pp. So forget bar hopping unless you got thr money and time to be in line for who knows how long plus pay $10 at each bar you stop at. If you want fancy, this is not for you. Most bars on the street here are like any corner bar down to earth environment but mainly lots of young people. Thr music was overly loud that don't bother planning to have chats with your friends or you will find your throat in so much pain screaming the whole time. I ordered a margarita which i should have known the place is called Whisky girl amd prob should have ordered something whiskey because my Margarita was not good at all. They barely had a salt rim. Cups was small at at $15 i would expect a larger cup. Service was non existence. We had to asked the security cleaning the table (yes, security cleaned it) to ask if we have to order at the bar or wait for a server. He told us he will get a server. The girl took forever to come back with our drinks and never came back to check on us. The girls went to bar to get round 2 and when they returned, the girl came back if we want the next round and her face changed when she saw we got new drinks on the table. Can't blame us if she never came back earlier. We wanted to order food but was told that the food orders ended. Bummer. After it started to get way to crowded, too hot with no ventilation and music too loud to even hear each other, we left. Never again. Only thing great is they gor lots of screens and good mix selections of music from of many genre.

I ordered a double Knob Creek Rye on Friday night. The waitress brought back a glass of some sort of "swill" that was whisky-ish. I figured I'd trudge through the thing and just order a beer after. I got the check and had to pay $30 for a beverage that was obviously not what I ordered. I know that some clubs have a reputation for pouring bottom-shelf liquor in top-shelf bottles to cut costs and apparently that is what Whiskey Girl is up to these days. Buyer beware. Also, $30 for a double, WTF? I can get a whole 750 mL bottle for $38 at BevMo. The ridiculous rip-off game is f'd up. I am not returning to this place ever again.

We got there yesterday . It was busy after the game my server her name is Lala she was very nice and fast to handle the whole place by herself . I will be back.

LOVE the new instructor for line dancing Wednesdays! She's so bubbly and informative! Made picking up new dances so easy! Thank you Clare!

Stopped in looking for a spot to grab a bite and watch the padres a while back. Got some tacos and a few beers. No complaints, food was solid, normal prices, and games were on. Nothing to complain about, but then again nothing to write he about. Maybe I didn't ordered the best time on the menu. Let me know if you've had something else tasty here!

Always have a blast doing karaoke. Great service and sweet crowd. I highly recommend this great place to experience alone or with friends.

Your typical club! With sticky floors but loud music. They have a lot of TVs that show the music video of the songs they play. The cover fee when I went (on a Friday night of Padres game) was $5, which was less than the other clubs nearby. I overall had a fun time here, but do expect to have sticky shoes!
