Number One Fifth Avenue

Came here twice during our trip to San Diego. Thursday night was pretty relaxed and chill, and the patio was not open at the time. When we went back Saturday, it was much busier and the patio space really made a difference. It added a great open vibe and more room to move around. There is also an upstairs outdoor patio, but it was being guarded by a bouncer and was not open to guests. That would have been a nice space to use. Music was upbeat and fun, but very loud, so it was hard to have conversations. Overall a fun spot, especially on a busy night.

Went here for the back patio specifically as I was told that might be a drag show and it was outstanding!!! Wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked in to a very divey chill spot with a mostly older crowd, but as I opened the door to the back patio us was like a whole different venue! Performers were very talented and made the most of a small crowd on a weeknight. Highly recommend, support local artists!

This was my first visit, but it won’t be my last! We enjoyed playing Pictionary on the back patio and we also heard some very untalented people singing karaoke inside. The bartender was very friendly and easygoing. I particularly loved the "please don’t do cocaine in our restroom" sign!

This Bar is a neighborhood institution! Good amount of space, welcoming to all!!! They do have a patio space in back and offer live entertainment. On this visit had the best quality fun listening to Ria and Aaron sing tunes from an ENORMOUS request list!! Fun, fun, fun!

Stopped in on NYE for drinks. Of course the place was hopping and the holiday decorations were over the top. #1 is always a fun place to go for a cocktail.

The new owners are very nice and you can tell they want to improve the quality of the place. Great DJ and a fun drag show on Fridays. Affordable drinks too. The backyard is the best part. I would suggest they get rid of the carpet inside though.

Always a chill place to grab a drink, relax, and hang with friends. It definitely gets crowded and a busy on the weekends, but otherwise it's pretty chill.
