Reviews of Parq Restaurant & Nightclub (Night Club)

Nikki Searle

The food at the restaurant was amazing! We ordered a ton of appetizers and they were all delicious! And the nightclub itself definitely has a Vegas vibe without having to travel. Always a good time here 5/5 stars

Lucy

I enjoyed coming out here to celebrate my friends birthday. The atmosphere is great. The only downside is that it got too crowded toward closing time. People are shoving and elbowing to get past you. There was hardly any room to dance, other than that I would consider coming back if I end up in San Diego. Ladies be aware the bathroom line was extremely long but then again when isn't it.

Leland Pope

I like the variety of music they provide with the main floor, hip hop room, and probably another which I don't remember. Also, we paid for cover online and it was like only like $15 each! So much better than the horrible $30 some other clubs charge when some mediocre electronic dj comes in, even though you only want to go to the hip hop room. Definitely interested in coming back!

SugarplumgreenT

Pretty good music by resident DJ karma. I really enjoy the amount if space there is to move and dance around. Definitely has a Vegas vibe going on inside. Dancers are good looking. Good experience.

Rachel Foster

Great food, wonderful hospitality, awesome music, beautiful venue, sexy dancers, tasty cocktails. Who could ask for anything more? I definitely will be back!

Diana Mendoza

Music was not the best they play a lot of tecno, hip hop not much dancing music or hits. Some songs are good but most are bad.

Geo Lopez

Headliner didnt come on until like 1 am so I just wanted my time. I even called to ask if this is a concert and the lady was like yes

aaron thornton

Literally a terrible time. Payed $60 to see lil dicky and he never showed up. And never got payed back.

Alan Quach

One of the nicer clubs in San Diego. There's a good restaurant and you get entry to club afterwards.

Kevin Mendez

Tony Martinez sucked as a DJ!! Changed genres waaaay too much like one song was EDM then it was classic hip hop then EDM then new hip hop then trance and edm... couldn't be consistent... Couldn't be a smooth transition at all.. And trust …

fatih sahin

Over price. Fake drinks

Esteban Bernal

I haven't try the restaurant but the night club will get 5 stars. Really nice people, service and music. The place really has the level of a NY club and Im sure the prices too (I was invited by a friend).

Ava Taylor

Love this place it's big, organized, and always have something big going on. Big name stopping by the and performing, also all the staff are great and at the front. You always get greeted making sure your taken care of. Thank you guys

Ted Mader

Girlfriend refused entry because she didn’t have high heels. It’s 2018, folks.

Katelyn Krysinski

I've only been here twice for a company event both times, but the service was fantastic and the food was excellent! Very unique location, and I love that it's in the center of downtown SD! I enjoy looking at the decor when I'm inside, I can only imagine how awesome it could be if I clubbed here! Highly recommend for group events!

Ana Amato

Beautiful people great music and awesome bartenders. Mackenzie and Jeremy were awesome. I can't wait to go back.

Brendon Muckle

High end, classy nightclub for those who want to have a great time.

Christopher Halstead

Ron Burgandy says stay classy San Diego but this place was anything but. I came here as a staff memeber for one of the artist that was headlining that night at the club. First off: they have cameras and listening devices in the green room. This is a huge no no so artist beware. Second: The security staff at this venue is rogue and some of the most unprofessional and untrained staff I have ever seen. Third: For having such a prestigious and expensive sound system it sounded really really bad. They had a lot of lighting and on ok LED wall but it looked like it was thrown together. None of the lighting flows together. Although I was at the venue for work I could not imagine being there as a club goer. If you are somebody in the music scene and you are coming for work watch out for these guys.

bill ouchie

Wow! Extremely nice place.

Kenny Dinh

Great ambience. Host was excellent. They comp'ed us with a bottle of champagne because they didn't bring out the cake for the birthday as requested. Even gave us 2 new orders of our dishes because they lost our take-out leftovers. Service A+ for such a busy day.

Peter Par

Amazing upscale restaurant with lots of beautiful people. The venue sets a tone for either a highly romantic date or group of single friends grabbing a bite before the night scene. Either way, it appears to be a high end experience for the rich and famous. The entrance to the restaurant was elegantly guarded by well dressed security personnel. Hostess were professional and we were given a red carpet treatment. Our waitress was fabulous and continuously making sure we were comfortable. We walked into a lightly dimmed dining area with a well stocked bar. We ordered the beef brisket toast and ceviche for our appetizers. The presentation of the food was perfectly arranged. The briskets were on lightly toasted rye and topped with a combination of sauerkraut and thousand island sauce. I preferred the ceviche to be a little more sweet, but the fish was delicious. The entrees we ordered were the scallops and short ribs. The scallops were requested to be well cooked. Unlike beef, it still has a soft texture inside. Altogether, delicious with the house made pancetta. The shorts ribs are tender and can be compared to the texture of a stew, but prepared with a rich sweet sauce. I had two glasses of the smoke tree red wine, but I would prefer to have my 2012 robert mondavi merlot with the short ribs instead. Great experience, great food, and a great dining environment. Thanks to our waitress and Erika for a wonderful evening. Definitely recommend for our high end clients.

SD Stoddard

I've gotten to experience both the night club, and the restaurant on two different occasions. I must say, I was blown away with both of the experiences. First I found a place to comfortably enjoy the restaurant. Now Im usually weird about …

Bentley The Aussie

Had a blast here when they had the private Alesso concert. I was the winner with 103.7. So I got to go to the meet n greet. Had a great lemon drop here with my sister and had great bottle service the entire night in our V.I.P. Lounge. The dancers were awesome as well as the robot. Will be coming here again!

Nick Gallegos

Amazing place to party on a Saturday! We were in town for a bachelor party and this place took care of us. They put us in a table right next to the DJ who was amazingly good that night! The vibe and the place is beautiful with lots of beautiful people as well. The line for table reservations was not a long wait at all. They were on top of everything. Great atmosphere and vibe. The music they place is a mix of EDM/Trap/HipHop. They got music for any style of dance music. We had an amazing time! I will be back next time I'm in town.

Stephen Madden

It was okay. DJ mustard was bad. The space is okay but the tables get in the way of having a nice flow. Tons of dudes

Angelica McDonald

What a great venue! Went to the restaurant with my girlfriends and the food was really good and not too pricey. Then we went to the Club and were let in the VIP section. We had great service and have been back more than a few times. :-)

Jay Woods

went to industry night and was using cash all night. used my card to make 1 drink purchase. $7 drink and I put $1 tip. $8 total. I check my bank account acouple days later to find an $88 charge. I've had to call everyday on lunch to hear them continue to tell me their looking into it. going on 2 weeks now. starting to think their just hoping I stop calling. not a person that leaves reviews but this has to be shared. Check your bank statements after visiting parq.

Lisa W

For the restaurant: pretty cool looking, makes it feel like your outside. Food was good. The Brussels sprouts were amazing! Ribeye tataki was good too. My scallop dish was flavorful, the scallops big and plenty. The smores dessert was very decadent! Server super friendly. Great music, but loud for dinner.

Sandro Cetic

Don't know about the night club at all but the restaurant is great. The service is good and the all of the drinks I have had there have been well made. The food is pretty good even for the price. I can't wait to try the brunch here.

Bryan Harris

this is a place for big money people only. was invited by a friend, didn't know about the dress code. staff was rude and treated me like I was poor, drinks are expensive, cover was pricey, and even if I had the money I would never go …

lisa lin

the venue exceeded all expectations! it is so breathtakingly beautiful. and 5 star quality food! the restaurant competes with NYC quality food and service.

Matt DiTomaso

AVOID!!!: Came from out of town for a friend’s birthday and once part of our group paid they told us they wouldn’t let us in because of one of our members of our group had a neck tattoo and told him they wouldn’t let him in because it was “gang related” in other words they let anyone in that doesn’t fit their standards. To bad the tattoo was for his brother who passed away due to CANCER. I honestly thought San Diego was a little more progressive, I’m never gunna give this place my business.

Carlos Nieto-Granda

The best place to enjoy an EDM concert in San Diego.

Alejandro Hernandez-Ruiz

The waitresses are in another level, the place is clean. Volume is good enough to talk as long as you are not in front of the stage.

Ruth Corlee

Wanna come to SD's worst nightclub, at least u have Parq!!! I held a table3 months ago. They said check in by 1030. I came at 10. They told me to go to Serranos down the next block... so we did. They said the tables would be extended tonight. They lie. They are like Vegas promoters. Empty promises. Oscar Gutierrez doesn't fulfill anything he says he will

Lourdes Vinnichenko

Wonderful place, great experience..amazing costumer service, food excellent

Entice Love

Bartenders very rude. How's there no sweet and sour mix? Took a table they gave us. Many its good if you give the impression that youre going to spend thousands. They were nice to those people.

Ron Brookes Jr

Great time got in fairly early, there was a special I think. They were strong and good. Great atmosphere, enjoyed it.

Ennai Mujica

Its aan amazing place wherme you can dance, there's a new DJ every week.

Alex Smith

This place suck. It is way over priced, rude staff including manager, slow service, and bad vibe over roll.

Jamie Barren

Toast to the New Year surrounded by friends old & new at Parq SD; an expansive venue featuring 35,000 sq. ft. and two nightclubs as part of the 5 room opulent experience. Wander through 5 rooms, listen to 10+ DJs, and enjoy 5 distinct musical experiences to ring in 2018 with an upscale Gaslamp party that's sells out year after year. Tickets & Info at: is.gd/parqnye

Bree Wilson

Dress to impress! This night club is like taking a trip down the rabbit hole! Felt like Alice lost in Wonderland, the decor is amazingly exciting, they play current music, be ready to have a great time!

Lilu S

The ambience is new and cool. Restaurant is in the bottom. The dance floor is small though.

Dony McClatchey

Nice club and a great host for the 2019 Bunny Ball!

Matt Phillips

Terrible. Rented the place out for a company event, food was so bad I only ate 2 bites, then bailed on everyone and got a Cuban at Brian's 24. No surprise from a place that doubles as a club.

alex oberoy

Great food and the waiter was helpful....

daniela garcia

Best restaurant and the top night club I ever been to. Best service!

Heather

Was here in the daytime for Sing Dance Crawl. Was a great setup and loved the different themed rooms. I want to return to check out the club at night.

kimberly myers

one of the best night clubs in town. The workers are very nice and friendly specially those security guard. I would come back to this place and yes people I totally recommend this place.

Robyn Matthews

I send all my out-of-town friends here when they're visiting because honestly it's one of the better nightclubs downtown in my opinion, and it helps when I know I can always count on Erika of their management team to go above and beyond to be extremely hospitable

Leah Harmon

Loved it! Pretty pricey, but I felt most of it was worth it. The margarita was pretty bad, but my cosmo was great! Loved the small plates and the steak was delicious. I live in TN, so I hope to go back some day!

Marsha Stevenson

Every time I have gone it has been such a fun and energetic atmosphere with the most amazing service! The venue is massive, with a great club like atmosphere filled with beautiful people. Everything from the music, lounge areas and service is on point. Our server on the dance floor and is the reason I have been back to Parq so many times. She was so sweet and friendly not to mention absolutely gorgeous! She definitely made my first experience here a memorable one! I always recommend Parq to any of my friends and can't wait to come back!!

Alex Wells

REALITY CHECK BROS! We live in San Diego, flip flops are part of the scene. Tell your bouncers to quit being a bunch of cowards.

Monterey Salka

I hate nightclubs, but I have to give the staff here credit for being very helpful and polite-- definitely a rarity! It was my first time at Parq and while I was trying to find the room my friends were all in, I asked a younger guy working behind the downstairs bar if he could point me in the right direction. He explained it was only his second day on the job (we joked that he had more than twice the experience I had at Parq) and suggested I ask the security guard posted by a nearby door. While this tiny interaction seems trivial, I was so pleasantly surprised by his innate hospitality and the lack of jaded disregard I find so often in nightclub bar staff that I wish I knew his name so I could give proper kudos! (FYI: Sprint cell service is pretty much non-existent inside)

Karina Wu

Hands down the best club in San Diego. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is amazing. Five stars for Parq ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Joe Elder

I had my birthday dinner here with a couple of my good friends this weekend. Let me tell you! The food not only is prepared to perfection, but plated precisely and beautifully. We made reservations and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Also, by eating dinner here we were able to stay and enjoy the club afterwards! Huge thanks to our server, hostess, and all the restaurant employees for making me feel special on my day. 5/5 for sure and I’ll be back!

Marcelo Amaya

Great ambiance. Nice happy hour and tapas. Delicious food and tasty crafty cocktails and of course cool and knowledgable staff. The night Club is sick, Vegas style.

brandy hoffman

So disappointed in this place. Customer service was the worst I have ever experienced. Came here for a bachelorette party and it took them an hour to seat us from when we first asked. Then it took 30 mins before we could get any alcohol to the table because the credit card apparently wouldn't go through. I understand this, but maybe inform us about the problem so we are no sitting around drinkless always hearing the booze is on the way?? When I politely went to talk to the manager about this, she could have cared less, was quite rude about it and asked me what I wanted her to do about the problem. For one not treat a customer who is spending $1000 on bottle service like that, and take some responsibility and understand that waiting that long for alcohol is not acceptable. Than miraculously when when I asked if we could just leave and not pay the booze appeared on the table. When I went back to comment on this she was still extremely rude and I had to fight to just get 10% off the bill. I told her I was going to write about my experience and she still couldn't care less. "Do whatever you want". Cant say enough bad things about this place. The club was not even worth it. Complete waste of money

Amardeep G

Nice date night place. Not too many choices for food and definitely over priced. Go for happy hour.

helen Kim

F king noisy. Foul songs

Amanda Ivko

I hosted my company's luncheon here last Thursday and it was a such huge success! Everyone who attended was so impressed, it was the perfect venue! Jill and her team did such an amazing job; she was always quick to respond to all of my emails and phone calls, and was super helpful the week of making sure we had everything needed and dialed in. She made my job in planning so simple. They also had a tech onsite! (Hallelujah!) We had multiple presentations so it was a relief to have someone there to oversee. Parq also offers so many different food options. We ended up choosing a couple of salads, short rib sliders and fries, plus a build your own street taco station. The food was delicous! If you are looking for an impressive, large daytime venue space, downtown, I would 100% recommend using Parq! They truly went above and beyond my expectations.

Armandina Mirsky

Aside from my personal 'stories' of this place, it's got a vibe that could easily come off as 'trying too hard' - however, this club actually lives up to the hype. Well designed, spacious place, can get super packed super quick though.

Jeff L

Fun night club that charges on the higher end for guys to get in. Lots of young natives and internationals usually show up and there's something for most people.

Raymond Lo

Security lines were fast. Interior was nice and spacious. Bathrooms were clean but no extra amenities like other clubs

ME FLEX

Although it is quite pricey, I love how they play around with flavors to create unique and modernized dishes. Portions are small and service is pretty good. Would recommend to try out.

Chris Finn

You can have a good time here with good music and atmosphere. Not as good as omnia but a welcome change sometimes. It's very crowded though.

Aaron King

Great nightclub. Ridiculous prices. Would never come here without a club crawl but otherwise awesome dance club.

Caleb Brandalise

Very popular pick up / drop off. Hope the crowd continues to grow consciously. But the place looks amazing. Used to be the On Broadway club

Joshua Crane

Came here and it looked really really nice on the inside. My friend was in the vip section and I had to get her but the bouncer pushed me and my friend and I apologized and informed him that I just needed to get her and he called us vulgar names and I apologized again and he pushed me again and choked me and told me to leave and I told him we’ll leave and he pushed my friend again. I get we weren’t allowed in vip but as being a prior bouncer he was completely out of hand for no reason. Keep your bouncers in check. Neither me or all my friends that went will be coming back for that reason.

Mason Zedaker

Really nice, if small environment. Higher end clientele, awesome trapeze/arial floor show. Bar is staff is great. Really high cover for what it is.

Oliver Fiaty

Just celebrated my birthday there tonight. Very nice waitress for the dinner. But when I went to the club, Oh My! Had a great time !

Rodrigo Vaz

Parq night club is both elegant and fun. As you enter to club, you feel as if you are walking into a place of magic, where you'll be greeted by fairies and centaurs. The place looks so mystical, like you are about to walk into a story book, not knowing what story will unfold. The staff is excellent and provides guests with the utmost respect. Staff is always on point and always give great customer service. The music is on point and the vibe is just amazing! From the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave the club, the experience at Parq Night Club is phenomenal. If you want to find an awesome place to hangout with friends, dance the night away, listen to great music and drink, then Parq Night Club is where you should be. The dinning experience: to die for. The progressive American cuisine is one of the best I've had ever. From the simplest dish, steak and mashed potatoes, the taste is just divine! The steaks are juicy, cooked to order and cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes: light, fluffy, and just enough flavor (nothing too overbearing to the taste buds). The minute you walk in, you are greeted with a kind smile and directed to your seats in a quick and orderly fashion. The managerial service is just excellent. The restaurant manager, Kevin Sharp, gives the best customer service and is very polite. You can tell his goal is to create the most amazing dinning experience to the customers. Customers have a lot of food to choose from and for first timers, get ready to have dishes explained! (so you'll always know what you will be eating!) Parq Restaurant is excellent and exceeds all expectations. Highly recommend all of San Diego and US to visit!

Tony Fagnano

There's a bunch of fake reviews on here forget about 4 stars it shouldn't have more than 2 Awful rude customer service. Overpriced drinks, performers won't come on until closing time, and terrible service STAY AWAY

T Berz

Attended a catered, private party of over 100 people at the Parq Restaurant. The mostly appetizer/tapas offerings were amazing, including beef brisket and blue cheese sliders and lobster croquettes. This has a great venue space for private parties, and the servers were very polite and positively engaged with the patrons.

Matt d'Artenay

Amazing ambiance. Great food. Service is on point.

Jhenelle

Great Vibe. Cool club next-door. Fantastic service. I would recommend making a reservation and dining first then heading right over to the night club after dinner.

Christopher Ciborowski

Very unprofessional if you are thinking of doing a show here avoid this place ! They will not advance your show and are not intrested in your show only what they want they will not listen to you when the time comes.....they have video cameras and listening devices in the green rooms....the sound is very sub par for this system when working with house production on the show I asked to change color of the lights and black out the response was for them to step away from the lighting console and told me to run it if I wanted it changed.....used up all co2 fx on stage before headliner and said cable was messed up so no fx on stage for headliner......production staff here is difficult it sucks.....I wish the house ld/foh engineer was as excited and dedicated to our show as he was playing after our headling artist....was kicked out of the venue while posing this review use your best judgment...... msg me for review on any of this information happy to discuss

Ryan Mickle

Zero class - don’t let the sparkly lights fool you. This nightclub makes San Diego look no better than a Reno-inspired, poor version of Las Vegas. I grew up going to On Broadway... which was by far, one of the best nightclubs in San Diego at the time. When Parq reopened, I was hopeful but upon returning last night for Lil Dicky, who performed 2 songs after 3 hours of waiting, it was confirmed, Parq is a sad excuse for a nightclub. It’s a business first, focused on selling tables and bottles, even if that means knocking over patrons on the way to their delivery. I literally had a fist in my back twice, shoving me out of the way, by the scantily clad champagne girl, or security, making way for the club manager. Save your money, save your time. Forget Parq.

Chad Aiken

Went for lil dicky, waited 4 hours for him to come on, did 3 so he then bounced. If I ever go to this place again I'll be buying the cheapest tix or nothing.

Jo-annie J.

Slightly wish I never came but glad I know not to ever go back. They don’t accept any ids government issued except a drivers license. Wouldn’t let a friend go in with her passport nor military id. Went up for a drink and came back to our table and apparently someone bought it out from us. Bartender on the lower level bats her eyes when she sees men and credit cards but was cold when I asked for a whiskey sour and put my money on the bar and stated they don’t carry sweet and sour mix at that level and stared me down.

junia motta

This place is so trendy!!! The atmosphere was excellent, and also really place you in the state of mind to party.This was our very first time below, we had dinner after that wished to examine out the club next door.We purchased the mussels: very yummy and also generous portion.Pirogies: the food selection said there was pork belly, however I didn't see it! It was flavorful.Grilled octopus. Super good def the highlight!After dinner, we went to the club, and it wasn't as well jam-packed, yet the songs they were playing was fantastic!! Additionally the baby bouncers were super nice, which you don't see often. In general it was a wonderful experience!

Danny Medina

Amazing food and service!!! Dance floor was popping!!! I’m definitely going again

Gks96

Super fun. The dancers came and danced with us, & the crowd was also perfect

Jenna Badra

Wish I could give no stars after how badly we were treated!!! We came as a group with some international friends and cousins from Palestine! And they rejected their passport and only form of ID. They insulted us further by saying Palestine doesn't exist! When we tried talking nicely and that didn't work, we became agitated... they started treating us as if we were drunken idiots! Not ever, will I go back after such disrespect!!

Lazaro Alcantar

Great place to hang out with friends but the Dance Floor gets really crowded.

Brian Whiteside

There is considerable hype about this place, but don’t believe it. From $13 hi balls (cheapest available) to lacklustre decor, this place isn’t worth the money. The dancing floor is surrounded by VIP sections and their respective que barriers everywhere a) creating a tripping hazard and b) decreasing the size of the dance floor to 1/8 the total space in that building. Nonetheless, with the right music and preparation this place can be a good diversion if you have no other option. I would suggest else where, however, if that option exists. To note, this review only pertains to the club, not to the restaurant.

kathryn brown

Purchased $50+ tickets to see lil Dicky at this establishment and he was on stage from 1am till 1:30. Total rip off. Advertised as from 10pm-1:30 am. Will not be buying again.

Abdul Rahman Muwahid

My lovely place for clubbing

Matthew

My buddy got kicked out for touching a bouncer to talk to him. The waitress asked for a tip on top of $175 gratuity because she said gratuity is not her tip. The club is nice tho

Bekah Blaylock

Super fun club. Vegas style! A robot walks through the dance floor throughout the night.

Stephen Groat

Great club, attended for a private party, enjoyed the time and drinks

Jose Lopez Jr

I went for an event. It was alright but the drinks werent the best.

Devan Borsboom

This place was awesome. Everything I expected a night club to be.

Steven

Where to start...my friends and I were on the guest list through Discotech for this past weekend’s event. We got in line by 10:30 and waited for around 20minutes which is the norm. My complaint and issue comes where I felt discriminated at the door for my race. I went with a group of white Americans and my girlfriend and I were the only non-white Americans in our group. While we were waiting in line, the promoter that was issuing the card vouchers to get in gave everyone in our group a black/dark blue colored card while my girlfriend and I received a grey colored card. We didn’t pay attention to the color of the card and found out at the door that this meant that we had to pay $25 at the door! What ever happened to complimentary guest list!? This was ridiculous and sketch! I complained and asked why we were issued a different colored card and had to pay while the rest of our friends got in for free, the sales girl and the door guy at the front said it’s because we had a grey card. We explained to them that we were all on the same guestlist and they said it’s not their call and to go complain to the guy handing out the cards because we were holding up the line. A different promoter gave us a orange colored ticket and I asked them if this would get me in for free like everyone else in my group and they said no, my girlfriend would get in for free, but I would now have to pay $10. I asked for the manager and they again told me to talk to the promoter we got the card from. We found out it was a promoter named Paul, who was in charge of the Discotech guestlist tickets and when I tried to talk to him he gave me an annoyed look and walked inside trying to ignore me. I wouldn’t have an issue of paying if all the other white males in our group had to pay as well. Money is not the reason why I’m complaining and writing this review. It’s the unfair and lack of integrity I experienced from the employees at Parq. ALSO, a tip to anyone that uses Discotech for guest lists, don’t expect to get in Parq for free as advertised. Paul is a schemer and a incompetent promoter. Omnia is great to get in for free if you’re using Discotech and a better venue in my opinion. Plus they won’t try to deceive you at the door and won’t make you feel discriminated. This was my first time at Parq and I would never recommend anyone of color to attend this venue. I have never experienced so much discrimination at a club venue and it’s a shame this ever happened. I hope this doesn’t ever happen to anyone else.

Leonie Mathis

Way too expensive! We paid shortly after 11 pm $ 50 per head. Music and atmosphere did not please us. The place looks not bad. We can not understand why it is so celebrated. Bad basics for a good evening.

Lewis Chang

I have been waiting for this venue to open for 2 years. Parq Restaurant & Nightclub has everything. I've was lucky to be invited to the opening - and I was not disappointed. When you walk in, you are immediately overcome (in a good way) …

Sabina Damaschin

Nice decor. Went there at night, enjoyed the scene.
