Satin Lounge

This place is a joke, really ghetto, not worth the cover charge, nobody even danced or was there, maybe 30 people max, all of which where in the bar, employees were rude and this place was a huge waste of time and money, you’d be better off staying at home

This place is ratchet ! There is so many weirdos that go here. Me and my friends just wanted to have fun., and since BELO is under construction we came here. NEVER AGAIN. There is creepy men and the bar looks lonely. Everyone is just standing, and if you get up and dance everyone is staring (awkward). This place sucks!!! And lastly, the location is horrible. It took us 15 minutes to find it !

I had a friend who was a bouncer here and he said it best: «Don’t go there, that place is pure trash.»
As mentioned in another review, when I see rhinestoned Ed Hardy hoodies flipping all over the place, incessant laughter begins.

WARNING: if you are 21 years of age or older, do NOT come here. Hell, i dont even imagine that in my younger days i would have voluntarily come here!
The Satin Lounge is a joke. Which is unfortunate considering the size of the space and the different areas could have been utilized much, MUCH more efficiently.
The only reason I ventured into this awful place was to support some friends who were on the cinco de mayo bill. What a shame for them to have played in this place. The room they were spinning in was so unwelcoming we didnt even know it existed thus we were subjected to the main room which was packed to the brim with horny little boys and trampy little girls. Someone in a previous review also mentions the guys dancing alone on the platforms which is priceless. To top it off, there is a CAGE, which happens to be the bar (lmao. whos brilliant idea was that?) with THEE worst bartenders. Im not a heavy drinker but i know when my drink tastes like practically nothing, theres something wrong.
The Satin Lounge also provides many seating areas which have NO lighting. i mean NO lighting what so ever. Its pretty creepy when you can hardly make a face out in any of those areas. Not to mention the fact that there are red hot coals on the dozens of hookahs that are dispersed in so many unsafe and crowded areas.
Overall, this place lacks in just about everything you would find enjoyable about going out in the first place. The music selection in the main room is horrendous and the guys featured on the bill the night i was there was pathetic. I got my homies spinning/​mixing with turntables and RECORDS while these shmucks are pressing play on their macs. The beer is warm and the bartenders couldnt make a decent drink if they tried. The «security» or «bouncers» are so convinced that this place is the sh! t, they act hard and end up looking foolish. I get that the younger crowd wants to go out and have their fun, but I think its sad how much these people take advantage of that and have the audacity to charge people what they do to get in here. After the things i witnessed, I refuse to support this place and will do my best to inform others not to as well.
ZERO STARS.

THIS PLACE SUCKSS! dont ever come here a complete rip off its located where they have auto shops in like an alley. The securitys are dumb and dont know what they r doing and inside looks cheeep as if someone threw red curtains all along the walls the bar is in a cage the dj sucks and theres obviosly no dress code since some gurls were earing sneakers jeans and a slutty shirt? Okay not my type of club everyone also looked as if they were in high school DONT EVER COME HERE!

Hmmmm I agree with what most of the other people on here have said, but honestly I found it all VERY entertaining. Maybe because I had already started drinking before getting here (that always helps!). This place was Plan C (after A and B fell through, haha).
First of all this place is super ghetto. Not at all how the ads look.
The music when I was here was terrible. They played maybe three Top 40 songs when we were arriving then it was a combination of hip hop, west coast rap and 90’s jams. They played maybe 1 electronic song. Also the music is turned up WAY TOO LOUD, i saw several people holding their ears at various times throughout the night.
If it wasn’t for the $ 12/​person cover I might be inclined to give it one more star because the people watching was just SO good. Especially the guys dancing alone (on the platform too!) or with each other. They were all pseudo Usher dancing, thinking they’re the sexiest beasts in the world while flipping their rhinestone Ed Hardy hoodies up and down, wearing their sunglasses indoors and gyrating their hips. BAHAHAHAHA it was horrendous, couldn’t tear my eyes away from the trainwreck.
We had the $ 3 Long Islands, but I didn’t think they were too bad. They did their job.
The bar area DOES feel like a cage. The whole place is just kind of… seedy…as another reviewer put it. The red couches in the area just inside the entrance looked inviting but it was so dark in there I was afraid I might accidentally barge in on a lap dance. Maybe not a good idea to sit on those couches at all actually… :-/​
Anyway, i didn’t have an overall terrible time. It was just something to do since our main plans fell through. Most of us got awfully wasted off the Long Islands, had some great people watching, and went to Denny’s afterwards. BUT I definitely won’t be coming back, this isn’t a place I’d seek out especially with such an outrageous cover price.
P. S. did I mention a guy who talked to us outside when we were leaving acted like he was «with the club» and a promoter who could get us deals on upcoming events asked for our numbers? I was stupid enough to exchange numbers with him after he handed us a flyer, and then he sent me a bootycall text the next morning… LOOOOL. My husband was thrilled.

Poop

Super ghetto… the place reeks of smelly guys. Hookah lounge looks very gross and hard to park in their tiny parking spaces. Never coming back here again. PS music sucks too.

Oh my goodness, I wish I had looked up and read the reviews !
Even though I’m 21, i have friends that are a few months away from the legal drinking age, I thought this place would be an awesome experience for all of us. I heard about it on the radio a few days before I made plans with some 21+ friends.
1. it’s hidden
There’s a big billboard that shows you where the place is, and we were a little confused when we didn’t see it. You have to walk down a little alley to get to the front door.
2. No cover charge before 9:30, not with those lines !
Well, we get there at 9ish and the security guy tells us we need to park closer to the club. Really? We’re half a block away ! The guy who drove went back to park somewhere else and the rest of us go stand in line. There are two lines and we don’t know which one is for what. Someone said the shorter line was for VIP, someone else said the shorter line was for people who paid for hookah. We got in the longer line, but by the time we got to the front, it seemed like if you knew the bouncer you got in faster, wtf? We were in line for an hour and ended up paying the $ 12 cover charge.
3. The bar is really a cage
You couldn’t really see anything other than who’s in the bar, the 15 year olds on the pole, and the DJ. The night I went they were having a special, $ 3 kamakazi’s and Long Island Ice Tea. The shots were fine, but the Long Islands were SH! T. Really?! Watered down alcohol with watered down coke. An alcoholic would have slapped the man behind the bar if he/​she was given this and told it was a Long Island Ice Tea.
4. Good music with no room to dance
The music was pretty good, they played a little Latin, some of today’s hits. Only thing I enjoyed about the club. When I finally convinced my friend to go out on the floor with me, it was crowded! I gave up dancing quickly and retreated from the sweaty and over heated dance floor as quickly as I could.
5. Hookah
Crap. It didn’t hit. We asked for another one. It didn’t hit either. 3^rd one was fine.
All in all, I’m never coming here again. Even if I was underage, I would rather be studying for school.

Wow!!! I’ve been to clubs in third world countries better than this, and that is no lie! I was the first in and finished my first drink before anybody else made it in, and I drink slow. These guys need to get their s together for real. It cost me 22 dollars just to park and get in and then, I had to drink in a cage while I waited for someone other than staff

For those under 21, but 18+, we know is it hard to find an 18+ club in the San Diego County.
For me, I noticed that it was rare to find a Goth club that is not only for 21+. However, there used to be (18+) Club Dominion at The Satin Lounge, which I absolutely adored.
Basically, I only enjoyed The Satin Lounge atmosphere on Goth nights: every 3^rd Sunday, Club Dominion, which unfortunately ended in 2010.
Two dance floors. One bar.
I will probably not go back, unless there is a Gothic club atmosphere returning there… just my taste, please don’t hate.

I go only for one reason: I’m not 21 so I can’t get into the better clubs. It is so incredibly ghetto. The girls are ghetto-​trashy most the time and the guys are about the same. When my best friend and I went, we were felt really out of place, considering not 90% of our bodies were showing. The place overall is really dirty and there’s a ‘cage’ for people to hang out in to drink.
Overall, It’s not somewhere you want to go when you’re over 21. If you want to get into an 18+ club, try BeLo in San Diego. It’s 100 times better. But, if you like ghetto clubs, and don’t want to pay a cover charge (if you get there before 10pm), then have fun!

Not the best, but you can’t really be picky when you are not 21.
They now serve hookah, but this means that if you don’t want to smoke hookah you can no longer sit on the couches because they are «reserved» for those who are smoking.
There is free cover before 9:45 which is nice, but it is not very crowded and kind of «ghetto.» They have a stripper pole.
Enough said.

I seriously hate places where I have to drink in a cage!
I understand it is 18+ but I don’t think many people there were on the plus side… uggg I’m too old for this. ;)

I guess I am over rating this place but I thought it was decent. Yes it is in a crummy location with parking cease to exist but once you get inside it is kind of nice.
I being under 21 at the time thought it was cool. They have pool tables and a bar area for those who want to drink. It is kinda humorous to me cause it is like they are keeping the monkeys in a cage.
And they have a decent size dance floor with stripper poles for those adventurous types. I would say if you like to be in a young crowd with not a lot of old bald gross men staring at you this is a good place to go.

This is a terrible zoo. What’s that? It’s not a zoo? Oh sorry… I just figured since I was inside of a cage that it was a zoo.
I can sum this place up in one word: retarded.
I guess it’s okay if you’re with someone who is under 21 and wants to go but I think that kinda defeats the purpose of going to a club if you can’t even drink. I wanted to give it one star but I will give it two just because it was the first club that my woman and I ever went to together. =)
Ugh, the parking sucked, it was hard to find… it was just so gross and dirty. I just get a bad feeling in my stomach whenever I think back to the night I went to this place.
It’s just a bunch of horny 18 – 20 year old guys running around trying to find someone to blow their loads in. I guess if you’re 18 then the satin lounge is the place to be!
