Reviews of Rich's (Night Club)

William Lopez

This place runs a bad business (currently), I had an item stolen from my coat while IN coat check. the male employees here were particularly rude and mean too?? I don’t get it, as a gay business I would expect it to be more welcoming and friendly. I’m not mad just really disappointed. Do better girls, you’re making San Diego look bad.

Cristian Bladimir

(Translated by Google) IT IS A PLACE WITH A BAD SERVICE, FROM THE RECEPTION, UP TO THE PLATFORMS, AND CARE I STUMP MY CELLULAR. AND NOBODY DID NOTHING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I SUGGEST A GENERAL REVIEW OF ALL SERVICES TO HELP YOU STOP HAVING BAD FAME. HORRIBLE. (Original) ES UN LUGAR CON UN MAL SERVICIO, DESDE LA RECEPCIÓN, HASTA LOS MESEROS, Y CUIDADO ME ROBARON MI CELULAR. Y NADIE HIZO NADA POR VER LO QUE PASABA. SUGIERO UNA REVISIÓN GENERAL DE TODOS LOS SERVICIOS PARA QUE DEJE DE TENER MALA FAMA. HORRIBLE.

They don’t answer their phone line.

David Daniel

Always too much fun.

Terry Tyler

Fun!

Jon Vosper

Too straight now.

Will Bosques

Sucks. People here are arrogant, on drugs, to touchy and grabby. It's seething with desperation.

Jamie Burns

Nest all around gay club in San Diego, to see and be scene, theme nights and every event

Karen Corona

Place is fun and cheap

Marie Rice

Been coming here for years! Best dance/show club!!!

Ferris .Riggs

Great Nightclub!!!

I miss Rich's. I always had a great time there. Such a fun bar with plenty of great events. Compared to the gay bars out here in the mid west, Rich's is far superior. Can't wait to experience Rich's again.

Came here on LEZ night for a friend's birthday and had a blast! All staff were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. I loved the smaller dance floor in the front playing hip hop, and the bigger room in back for techno seemed fun, too. Drinks were kinda pricey imo ($7 for pinnacle) especially since there was a cover charge. OH and the dancers were amazing !!!

Lauren Gomez

I usually don't do reviews, but in this case its more of a public service announcement for all the ladies who come to LEZ night to have a good time, hang with the girls, and not be harassed by disgusting straight guys asking you to kiss your girlfriend or have a three way. THIS IS NOT A SAFE HAVEN ANY MORE, FOR US. I use to go every Thursday (always an AMAZING time) but hadn't gone in a while. I took a girlfriend last night and, my goodness, it was like walking into any bar in PB. Straight couples everywhere, staring down the gay couples, SUPER wasted straight girls begging for attention, giving nasty looks to all the pretty gay girls actually enjoying themselves- AND THEN, all these guys, who APPEARED gay (dressed in crop tops and denim cut offs, one even had a collar) just took over the dance floor and started asking all the girls to make out/dance with them, and they did! One even asked me to pull his collar and when I didn't, he proceeded to try and kiss me! EW WTF. EW! then they all started strattling each other on the dance floor, shoving each other's tongues down their throats, as if this was some kind of straight orgy. Super uncomfortable energy and the club's environment has totally changed. To be clear, I have nothing against men, I have everything against CREEPY men, and when I want to go out dancing-they are not even on the list of the things I want to experience. Especially creepy straight guys pretending to be gay just to get close to all the pretty girls and try and f*** them. The only thing that's the same is the beautiful bartenders and their amazing attitude and awesome drink specials. Thank you ladies for always making it a pleasure!

Awful

Brian Poulsen

Not enough room to dance on crowded nights but they have the best DJs.

Dvid Silva

Super fun. Two separate rooms with different djs. Smoking area. Cool crowd.

Michael Nelson

A damn good night club everyone has to go to at least once.

Joey M

Extremely rude pushy security that hates being there. The bartenders are shady they will charge you top shelf when they serve you cheap quality liquor, they assume your drunk and won't notice.There is no respect for the patron.I hate this place and the word is spreading

Bree Wilson

Always great music, fun crowd, drag shows, underwear contests, gogo dancers, beautiful people everywhere! The bouncers are the best! they are always very respectful and make sure everyone leaves safely. On multiple occasions I have witnessed the bouncers make sure that extremely drunk people get a safe ride home! Thanks for being so caring to your patrons! Mike the bouncer you are so dope!

Megan Pogoda

This place has the potential to be one of the best clubs in San Diego. Great large space with good sound and a cool hanging dj booth. Not the place for homophobes, but IS the place if you wanna get your dance on!

richard gersten

Ava is confused. 3 reviews and 2 1 stars. Girl, so your friend had some "medical emergency while pregnant" episode yet insisted in going into a club? I have been going to Rich's for a decade, never experienced anything like you say. I'm hetero and this place is fun. In fact, I will be there this weekend.

Kenneth Sampay

Hip-hop in the front and techno in the back! Great club really enjoyed my time here!

Luke Aguon

This place gets wild after 11

Don Barnes

It was "so so" Most staff were nice, some thought they were doing you a favor. It was ok decore. I guess I am use to a better standard of service from the bars I go to in Minneapolis.

Brian Steward

It was ok. The back room dancefloor is nice.

Leo D

It costs a $12 cover to walk into a mediocre dance floor with lame music and incredibly rude bar staff/security. The drinks are overpriced and the alcohol is watered down. I won't be going back. I should have read the reviews before I went.

J Williams

Don't go here. They allow people to steal your phone while you're on the dance floor and won't offer any assistance with getting it back even with iCloud pinging your phone as still in the bar. Worst customer service ever! I'll never go back in this crappy bar that's crawling with pick pockets and management more concerned with music than helping a customer get back stolen property. Absolute worst experience ever!

Esmeralda Nunez

Every time I go, Rich's it's always poppin. I like the fact that it has two DJ's. One for EDM and one for Hip Hop. I personally love going to dance the night away. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking to have a fun night. No homophobes please! Lol

Matthew Bashaw

Most rocking club in Hillcrest.

David Bilyeu

Great place! Hot guys and good music.

Guy Ward

As many have said , they have very rude bartenders much of the time . One time while visiting , they were ALL doing shots behind the bar together , not even with guests . When I finally asked politely if I could order some drinks , one of them turned to me and said « you’ll just have to wait « . I still cannot believe a service person would say that in that tone and while THEY were drinking , not pouring .

May R

My first time coming here with my friends who have been here every other weekend and my husband. Had a bad experience with security who kicked my husband out without ANY explanation at all. We weren’t drunk, or causing any problems he was just dancing with my friend and one security guy guided both of them out. I am 9 months pregnant and was sober all night we were actually out celebrating my due date. I was watching over him they couldn’t even tell me why they were kicked out and they took out their pepper spray as if I was gonna try to lash out on them. They also sent another 2 securities to guide me out just for asking what was happening On top of this I was holding on to my friend’s drinks all night and as soon as I took my eyes off from it for one second I noticed bar tenders trying to get rid of them maybe thinking we were all too drunk to realize and make us buy more.

Alejandro Salazar

I just don’t like how they charge cover . Rather go somewhere free.

rey gutierrez

Chill place

Bianca Cancino

Staple gay club if you're in Hillcrest. A night out at Richs always ends up being a good time.

elaynah rogers

Only when pride event have d.j. blasting the music until all hours. Actually, I DO NOT call it "MUSIC", only "NOISE ". From my house, ALL I hear is the CONSTANT POUNDING OF THE BASS!! I purchased earplugs...noise is STILL deafening!! Calling there does NO GOOD. THEY JUST TURN IT UP MORE!! HAVE THEY NO PRIDE ( IN THEIR CONSIDERATION OF RESIDENTS NEARBY?? ) APPARENTLY N. O. T.

Christy Salgado

Never had any problems here, #1 best gay bar in SD. I miss it so much. That and gossip grill are my favorite. Can’t compare to anything else. I love Rich’s. They always have good music to play too! Love it!

Helen Cintron

I absolutely love it here on Thursday nights for LEZ nite as well as Saturday’s! Drinks are great, atmosphere is great, and amazing music!

Mike Hosley

Since we are dancers, we almost always end up here when we go out- I LOVE going on Lesbian night - lots of cuties and young girls, and there's really two dance areas. Very, very lively and OK to be straight feel. If you love to dance or watch, this is a must see stop in Hillcrest. basically something for everyone, and pretty busy sometimes but the bartenders are super good and fast.

robert

Great club

David Sandiego

Not a very friendly staff... even if your white... spent alot of money and they still treat you like trash... i see a boycott coming soon... uhhgg

Dayton Egloff

The stage and sound system were amazing but the drinks were $9 a piece! Be sure to pregame before you attend an event here.

Ashley Kennedy

The bar staff were super sweet! It more than made up for a bad experience I had at Number One off Fifth Ave. Thanks guys!

Trevor .Torres

Rich's is much fun! I go almost every weekend to dance, drink and have fun. A lot of good looking men and very friendly staff.
