This place is a go-to spot downtown, and it's pretty much always full. You can reserve a table for the night if you're with a group or grab one of the high tops or bar seats if you're just stopping in. They do live karaoke, which is actually a lot of fun and entertaining. The drinks are great, and the staff are awesome - very friendly and attentive. Definitely worth checking out. And if you're in the mood for more of a club scene after, you can walk right next door to Sidebar and keep the night going. read more

Gaslamplighter - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

My friend and I stopped by to check this place out. We were so impressed with the upscale setup of the stage for karaoke. It was really nice! Very fancy! We were hoping to sing a few songs, but found out from our bartender the karaoke didn't start until later in the evening. We ordered a mini dirty martini and an old-fashioned, and just enjoyed the beautiful ambiance. Loved how they had these small sizes for only $6 each, perfect for me because I'm a super featherweight! Definitely bookmarking this place for a future ladies night out! Note: This place is classy, so no graphic tees, baseball caps, and flip flops. read more

This beloved Mission Hills gem has found a second home in the heart of the Gaslamp--and it feels right at home. The space is intimate yet elevated, wrapped in a 1920s-inspired Art Deco aesthetic that sets the tone from the moment you walk in. Think plush velvet-topped barstools lining the bar, cushioned wall seating paired with tables and additional stools, and cozy couches encircling a lively stage and dance floor. It's the kind of place where you settle in and suddenly realize you're staying longer than planned. On stage, performers belt out everything from power ballads to guilty pleasures, with a DJ keeping the queue moving and the energy just right. It's equal parts talent show and joyful chaos--in the best way. The martinis are expertly crafted and dangerously easy to enjoy. And the Le Sideburger? A standout--perfectly seasoned beef tucked into the softest brioche bun imaginable. Comfort food with a little swagger. Whether you're starting the night with a little sparkle or ending it with a full-on karaoke finale, Gaslamplighter delivers a stylish, feel-good experience that's hard to leave--and even harder not to return to. read more

What a disappointment! Stood at the door while the server just glanced up at me and went back to making drinks, not even reciprocating my hello. We don't need that type of attitude. There's only one other party in the entire restaurant. I can see why you guys got bad reviews! My husband and I came here for dinner , never got seated , and ended up leaving. I was so excited to try their happy meal, which became a sad meal, or should I say , no meal . Lol what a joke! We ended up getting dinner somewhere else. read more

Incredible service here! I wish I remembered the bartender's name but he did a great job chatting with guests, making sure they were alright, and mixing great drinks. The DJ did a great job keeping the crowd dancing and singing to mostly nostalgic y2k hits. I had no clue that this was THE SPOT for karaoke. I loved how much fun the crowd was having no matter who was singing. This isn't a spot where serious singer go for karaoke, but more for the casually courageous and tipsy. A lot of the guests appeared to be a fun and friendly group of people in their early 30s. I would love to come back here for another fun night out! read more

If I can give a half star I would . Just for the young men trying to get people in , btw very nice . We got invited into this place by a promoter and said he'd give us a free glass of champagne, my friend and I finished it and asked if we can get another glass of what we just had and before I can finish he said NO it's for promotion only , so we looked for another type of champagne I wanted to taste it before my friend and I bought the 120$ bottle of one of their champagnes . It was pretty loud I their so I pointed to the champagne I wanted to get and he said to me "YOU CANT PRONOUNCE IT ? " I said sorry I didn't think you could hear me so I pointed it , I told one of the security how I thought he was being rude for no apparent reason he apologized and they gave me another free glass , so we attempted to order again a glass of champagne to BUY not get for freee and again he said NO ! so my friend and I walked out , and we met our other friends outside and he told our friends that "we just wanted free drinks ! Hahahah we have money to buy our own drinks just letting this establishment know ! If they're going to have this kind of treatment I DONT RECOMMEND THEM. read more

I meant to review this place months ago, but I was in San Diego for and got sidetracked! I came here for an event that was hosted by an associate of an associate. Because she was hosting an event here I did not pay a cover charge. This is a smaller to midsized establishment that serves various types of drinks, has food, plays music, and allows randoms to do karaoke! There isn't much room to dance, so don't expect to be able to do anything crazy, but I was able to get into the vibe and do a lil' side to side. They have a VIP area, and they play stuff on this projector type screen that matches the music when people aren't singing. Which btw, you can go up to the DJ area and put in a request to sing. People sang popular songs from all different decades. There is a slight dress code that I didn't have a problem with (I had a dress and some heels on), but I did hear from some other associates that they were turned away. So try not to come dressed too casual, or at least check with the establishment. (Price Range): $30+ (Crowd): Most of the people were chill and I danced with a couple of strangers. The majority age range seemed to be late 20s to late 30s. (Music): They played a lot of classic hits in the R&B, Hip-Hop, and other genres. I cannot remember exactly songs, but I do remember knowing a lot of them and liking them very much. (Location): It's in a very high traffic area of Gaslamp. There were hundreds of people and traffic was constantly being held up due to the congestion. Parking is pretty much non existent, but that's how Gaslamp functions. I took an Uber there, so I suggest doing the same. There is also a light rail not too far from the area, but it stops around 12:30 am, so it wasn't a good option when the clubs close a bit later. Seemed fairly safe in comparison to the other areas of San Diego. (Drinks): I tried two different drinks; a heavier mixed drink (maybe the South of Naples) and a sweeter, more fruity mixed drink that I liked a lot. I believe it was the Amore 75. The drinks didn't taste watered down and they were served in actual glasses. I couldn't handle anymore drinks because we decided to go to another place, but I definitely would have. I paid something around $17 for each drink. (Service): The entire reason I am even leaving a review is because of the excellent service that I received from the gorgeous woman (she had long braids or twists and reminded me of Zoe Kravitz) who took my drink orders. I wasn't able to get a drink at the bar, but she saw me and asked what I wanted. She was very friendly and even suggested a drink after my drink choice turned out to not be something I really liked. I did not expect to receive such great service due to experiences that I've had in the past, but she really made my time there enjoyable. read more

We absolutely adored our experience at cocktails and karaoke, gas lamp, lighter! We danced a little, we karaoked a little . Super fun. No charge , you just have to have the guts to grab the microphone and go up when your name is called from the sign-up sheet and sing your heart out... everybody was doing. It was so much fun. What a great way to spend a couple of hours. read more

Gaslamplighter - Right before I karaoked - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is so embarrassing. If you're a woman with an ounce of self respect and a fun personality, the bouncers cannot handle you. They will kick you out in the name of nothing because their moms aren't there to lick their wounds. They are the epitome of fragile masculinity and are complete fun suckers. If you enjoy getting the life sucked out of you and maintaining the same personality you keep at your 9-5, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, I'd advise Hillcrest. Way better vibes, more empowerment, and less hurt feelings by sad men. read more

I've been coming here regularly on Tuesdays for quite some time, which is why tonight's experience was especially disappointing. When I arrived, I was stopped at the door and told there was suddenly a $10 cover charge and that hats were not allowed. In all my years living in San Diego, I've never encountered a cover charge on a Tuesday night anywhere, so this was both surprising and frustrating, especially considering this wasn't the case just a week ago. What's even more disappointing is that businesses should value their regular customers, not create unexpected barriers at the door with no warning. Policies like this feel poorly thought out and leave the impression that management is more focused on squeezing money out of people than creating a welcoming environment. It's unfortunate, because this used to be a place I enjoyed coming to during the week. Hopefully management takes a step back and reevaluates how they're running things, because this kind of experience is exactly how you drive regulars away. read more

Finally made it to Gaslamplighter, and honestly, no complaints! (*note we got there at opening on a Thursday) As someone who loves checking out new spots, I'd been meaning to get here for a while. The space is a bit smaller than I expected, but that's on me, especially knowing their OG location was a true dive in both size and style. This one has definitely leveled up. Stopped in for drinks with my girl friend before dinner and had just enough time to enjoy a couple of well-made cocktails and their beautifully presented Aperitivo app--both solid choices. Excited to come back with a group and take on some karaoke. Also, worth noting: they have an "Aperitivo Hour" with $13 martinis and snacks, which is a nice touch. Looking forward to round two read more

Gaslamplighter is definitely a Saturday night vibe. It is more of a younger crowd that is singing their hearts out during karaoke. However, social media portrays this place more lounge, speakeasy older feel which is the complete opposite but we had a good time regardless. Reservations required prepay for burgers with a table. The burgers were delicious but it was a bit awkward eating when everyone is in a party mode around you so we felt a bit out of place. Otherwise cocktail menu is on point and loved the spa water cucumber drink $16. The waitresses were really kind and had great recommendations. They kept the drinks flowing which matched the vibe. This is a lively spot in gaslamp if you are looking to let loose! read more

My friend and I were staying in downtown and decided to hop around Gaslamp. This was one of the stops and have been wanting to check them out when they first opened. We went in April and sat at the bar. Since it was early, around 8:30pm, it was pretty dead. I liked that they had two musicians playing the guitar and singing during my visit. I thought it was a karaoke bar and if there was going to be music, it would be happening a lot later. My friend ordered an espresso martini and then we headed to our next destination. We planned to come back last night for Halloween, but had to reschedule. I'm looking forward to trying out their food soon! read more

Gaslamplighter is honestly the spot. We've been going forever and somehow it just never gets old. We know everyone, we're probably there too much, but the vibes are always right. Whether we're screaming karaoke, dancing in the corner, or just catching up at the bar, it always hit. The staff feel like friends, the drinks are strong, and there's something about this place that just keeps pulling us back. If you know, you know. If you don't... you will. read more

Service was friendly and attentive, and the décor and lighting were excellent -- the place definitely looks great. The sound was decent overall, though for a bar that presents itself as higher-end karaoke, the mic EQ and reverb could use some fine-tuning. (Maybe I'm being a little picky since I do a bit of sound engineering myself.) I signed up to sing but ended up being skipped over several times, which was disappointing. The drinks were the biggest letdown. The Gaslamplighter martini tasted almost entirely like olive brine, and while the carajillo had a nice flavor, it was mostly sugar water with very little alcohol. Across 9-10 different drinks, none of us felt even a slight buzz -- and that's saying something, since my limit is usually around three to five drinks. It really felt like they were cutting back on the alcohol. Our final round, an old fashioned, should've been a safe bet -- but again, mostly sweet mix with hardly any spirit. The food wasn't great either. My burger came with no dressings or condiments at all. The vibe also didn't match what's shown on their website -- no dress code enforcement, and the music leaned more toward club-style than a true karaoke or lounge experience. If you're looking for a club atmosphere with the occasional karaoke number and light drinks, this place might fit. But overall, it felt overpriced for what we got. read more

Absolute best new spot in Gaslamp! Came down here last weekend and wow wow wow! The venue is stunning and the cocktails are delicious. You can tell the staff cares a lot about making you feel at home. We had some happy hour cocktails and was so happy to see they serve it til 9:30pm! The bartender told me they serve food til 2am, so I'll definitely come back again for that wagyu smash burger- it was so freaking good. Overall the place was good vibes, lively ambiance, and would definitely come back for a girls night out or date night! read more

We made reservations to come by, and after having the FEAR OF GOD put in us about being late or canceling and getting charged all kinds of fees, we got there 15 minutes before our reservation only to be told at the door that there was a private event and our reservations were no longer valid. If you're an establishment that will close to the public for a private event, either DON'T let people make conflicting reservations in the first place, or LET THEM KNOW before they drag their asses all the way to you that something has come up.

UPSCALE KARAOKE AND COCKTAIL BAR (4 stars) - DRINKS: good - FOOD: one item only, a $12.09 burger LMAO - PRICE: pricier than usual - SERVICE: very good - AMBIANCE: Crowd = more mature - not the freshly sloppy 21yr olds. Come and sing your heart out to a bunch of drunk Gas Lamp goers who will sing along with you in the crowd. Too old for trhe clubs but too young to be at home sleeping... check this place out. Saturday has live music until 10pm and then 10pm they open up karaoke (w/ dancing). We had 2 tables reserved which are located in the reservation area at the front at the stage and dj booth. We had our own server and there is no ''spend limit' for reserved tables. :: DRINKS & FOOD :: WAGYU BURGER ($12.09) - the ONLY food they have was a Wagyu Burger. No sides, no nothing, just a burger. We all thought that was weird, of all foods for an upscale bar, they chose a burger for their one menu item. A burger. We were told "it's an elevated in-and-out" but it tasted nothing like an in-and-out burger. It was basic of bread, meat, and thousand island sauce, (optional) cheese. The burger was good but just because it was served in a fake printed Louis Vuitton cardboard sleeve doesn't mean it's worth its price. *** WHAT THE.... another 'burger' was ordered but this time only BREAD AND CHEESE (no patty) and the next day after accessing the receipt they charged $12.09 for bread and cheese. Uhm why? LOL. SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SEA ($17) - House rum blend, mango, coconut, pineapple, lime, banana bitters, nutmeg. This was very tropical and a bit too sweet and tart. I was hoping the ice would dilute the taste. It was still very sip-able but in moderation. RECOMMEND MARIYLN'S WAY ($17) - Gin, strawberry, lemon, bergamot, lemongrass. I ended up sticking to this drink as my repeat drink of the night. I don't really drink but when I do I love me a good gin cocktails this was mellow with a little bit of sweetness but toned down by the bergamont. Very easy to take in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GLL ESPRESSO MARTINI ($16) - vodka, Kahlua, simple, espresso. This was the smoothest espresso martini I have ever had a sip of. It was clean. Usually you can taste the vodka and espresso separately but this one was mixed well the layers folded in nicely making it very smooth to drink with no strong aftertaste. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THE GLL MARTINI ($18) - Italian Olive oil washed vodka, olive juice and black truffle salt brine, blue cheese olives, Gibson onion, caviar. It was dirty!! The only reason I would sip on a martini with olive juice is because of Sex In The City show... it taught me about dirty martinis. I got my bar tenders certificate in my early 20s and learned about the taste and making of a dirty martini. If you love a very dirty martini, this drink is for you! The salty elements coated the vodka well. RECOMMEND :: VIBE CHECK :: Live music was cool. Walking In to the live music made me feel as if I was entering a club in the 1970s in Colombia and about to start filing for a Narcos Netflix film. One that ended, Karaoke had an array of talent (and no talent) but it was so fun. The crowd sings along with whoever is performing and everyone having a gay ol time! The crowd is mature and not the freshly sloppy 21yr olds and felt the majority was 30's and (early) 40's. Although it's classified as "upscale", all walks of fashion walked in. They have the guys in tshirt and jeans who still think they are frat bros cheering each other on to drink, they have the people in padres gear because they just came from a game, they have birthday celebrations mostly dressed up in cocktail attire, they have someone looking like they were going to attend the golden globe awards, they have people who have zero fashion sense, they have people who are a little too old to follow GenZ fashion but 'trying' with their baggy clothes relax fit and crop top, they have basic everyday people. They had a bit of everything. It's SD, anything and everything was accepted. I am not a karaoke person but if this place got me tipsy enough to get up on stage to sing with friends "TLC NO SCRUBS" and also singing my lungs out in the crowd watching others sing... then I had fun. JABA APPROVED. Until the next song... read more

I made a visit to Gaslamp Lighter last weekend and had a great time! There are a lot of things that I like about this new cocktail bar/karaoke/live music venue and it was a perfect spot to celebrate my birthday. My reasoning for choosing Gaslamp Lighter for my birthday included: - Its location in the heart of gaslamp and close proximity to many other bars (it is sandwiched between Bang Bang and Sidebar) - A chance to dress up (dress code is sophisticated cocktail attire) - The craft cocktails - The variety of entertainment including live music until 10pm then karaoke This is definitely a new hot spot and there were about 3 other birthdays being celebrated while I was there. I observed the crowd to be more mature here, not your PB aged people but more like people in their 30-40s looking for a place to chill and possibly dance and sing some karaoke. One note is that you can reserve tables either online or by calling (if you have a bigger party) but they warned me that once it hit 10pm, that is when the tables on the dance floor started their minimums/bottle service. So what I did was reserve a table on the dance floor at 8pm and was planning on moving to the bar area at 10pm, however they allowed us to stay at our table since there were no other reservations (still no minimum) which was very nice. Just know that the dance floor seating is booths along the walls which does make it a little hard to talk to people. But this was a great spot to be up close to the live entertainment which was a Latin-inspired band who even sang me Happy Birthday. On to the cocktails - great variety of craft cocktails with a variety of spirits. On average they were about $18 so be prepared for that. I tried about 5 different cocktails and would say they are worth the price, the espresso martini was delicious and is near the top of best espresso martinis in my book. I do wish they had more food options though, currently they only offer a burger which they sold as an "elevated cheeseburger" which was a pretty basic burger and no option for fries. Hopefully in the future they will offer other appetizer-like options or shareable plates. They also did a good job with staffing, the ladies helping us were lovely and did a good job checking on us, you can tell they've had experience in the industry. The last thing to cover is the karaoke. How it works is you sign up on a clipboard and there is a small stage at the front with a screen for the backdrop that displays pictures (I think you can provide pics if you do bottle service) and other graphics/lights. Great opportunity to really unleash your Sasha Fierce. To close, I would definitely recommend checking out this place. You will be transported back to the 1920s amidst the chandeliers and neon lights where you can belt out some tunes or just enjoy some tasty drinks and music. It does get crowded so if you can make it in before 10pm that would be my suggestion. read more

If Gaslamplighter were a movie, Chris would win Best Supporting Bartender and MVP of the Franchise. Walked in expecting a regular night--left with new friends, slightly stronger drinks than I probably needed, and a full-blown therapy session courtesy of Chris behind the bar. He mixes cocktails and life advice with the same precision. The man is a wizard with whiskey and a saint with sass. Drinks? Strong enough to make you dance to a song you claimed to hate. Atmosphere? Like Cheers, but with better lighting and way more glitter. Chris? 12/10. Might be part therapist, part bartender, part magician. Come for the drinks. Stay because Chris remembered your name, your go-to order, and somehow convinced you karaoke was a good idea. Highly recommend. Just don't challenge Chris to a dad joke contest--you'll lose. read more

This karaoke bar is so fun. It gets packed af! Everyone has a great time. Bar service is quick. Bathrooms are clean enough lol.

The Gaslamplighter is a new, upscale cocktail bar and karaoke lounge in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter owned by the same group as The Lamplighter in Mission Hills. It's located in a narrow suite between Bang Bang and Side Bar on Market St. The current operating hours are from 6:30 pm to 2:00 am on Thursday through Sunday. The inside had a glamorous speakeasy decor with a small stage in the back for live musical acts and karaoke. The latter was unique as you don't find many cocktail bars where customers are asked to sign up and sing. I didn't catch a glimpse of the bar bites menu, but I did scour the menu of drinks closely. A dozen Craft Cocktails spanned two pages while another page was dedicated to three Coffee-Based Cocktails and two Zero-Proof Cocktails. Beer, wine, Evian water, and Red Bull made up another page. Champagne and bottle service were available for the high rollers including a $10,000 King Louis combination package. The bartender recommended the Tranquillo versus the Dolce Vita from the zero-proof choices. Pineapple, lime, and honey were mixed with non-alcoholic tequila in a tajin-rimmed glass. The taste was more tart from the lime than sweet from the honey. There was a singer who crooned some R&B hits before taking a break and giving way to those who wanted to karaoke. I was not around when and if anyone was brave enough to hit the stage. The vibe of the Gaslamplighter was mellow so it's a neat spot to visit if you enjoy a less noisy ambiance. read more

Went to Gaslamplighter with a group of friends to celebrate International Women's Day. The decorations and atmosphere was very on point for a luxury speakeasy vibe. Unfortunately that's where the positive experience ended. I ordered a mocktail and specifically asked if my drink could be made without pineapple juice due to my allergy. The waitress checked with the bar and verified it could be done. When my drink came it was dark so I couldn't see the color well but after 1 sip I could taste a strong pineapple flavor. I notified the waitress and my drink was remade but the apology was almost nonexistent and the drink wasn't comped which I think given the situation would have been more than fair. Luckily my allergy isn't serious enough that 1 sip is a problem but the staff should take noted allergies more seriously because for someone else it could be serious. My friends espresso martini was not shaken and the alcohol was separated after the espresso. Again while it was remade at the price of these cocktails you expect higher quality. At the end of the night we were provided a $75 bill for 2 espresso martinis and a mocktail. Normally I would say it was a mistake but given the poor overall quality of service I wouldn't be surprised if we were getting overcharged on purpose because after a couple of drinks I don't think most people would pay that close attention to the bill. Lastly a 22% required service charge is outrageous given the quality provided. While Gaslamplighter has a cool vibe I'm sure you could find much better karaoke bars. read more

Came here for a friends birthday after being so excited to finally see this place and sadly, I won't be back. It was my friends 40th we had the center dance floor table. Ambiance is great if that's all you're interested in. Drinks are tiny, they ran out of beer and told us "they're not really a beer bar," and seemed inconvenienced that we were ordering drinks... As for karaoke, our group went up for ONE song, we were there for hours and only got called once. The owners family was there and so naturally, their party took over the stage. Apparently you have to pay to be called up. Not to forget, ownership is staunchly maga. Our group was full of Black and Brown women. Hopefully there's no correlation there. Lastly, our friends mom was definitely drugged at the bar. Not saying it was employees but just watch your drinks. That was a pretty scary moment and end to our night. I'm glad we were with her to get her home. There are other upscale lounges or karaoke places to go to, sadly I won't be back to this beautiful looking establishment. read more
