Absolutely gorgeous and spacious venue located in downtown literally around the block from Park It…read moreOn Market. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, two stories, a bridal suite. The Sinclair on G is the perfect blank canvas for your event. I held my 40th birthday party here this past weekend, but I truly fell in love with this space the minute I stepped inside. Megan always responded to my emails in such a timely manner, and Alana, their in-house coordinator answered my bajillion questions during my first walkthrough. You are allowed to bring in your own vendors without having to pay some exorbitant fee like other places. 12-hour access and NO noise curfew because it's downtown. However, it's not right next to any bars so you don't have to worry about club-goers crashing your party.

I really loved the brick interior with the wood floors, it's perfect for any celebration. The bathrooms were also nice and clean. There are parking garages nearby which is super convenient for those who attend events here.

Last month in June, I did a tour at Encore Event Center. I worked with a gentleman named Peter…read moreCharles. He seemed to be friendly, but very fast talking and very salesy. Sad to say I fell for the okey-doke! We were made to believe that they are completely booked up all the way till 2027 and the only way to possibly book the date we were interested in was to pay $1000 booking deposit. He also quoted us $15,000 for an all-inclusive package, which is a great deal, but we noticed him changing the numbers on the quote to get it to equal a certain amount which we thought was a little bit shady. other venues we viewed, it was cut and dry what their cost was and what each element costs. Anyways, we put down the deposit because we were told that we have two weeks to decide and we did not see any harm in holding our date while we figured out what we were doing. Fast-forward only 4 days later, we decided not to go with them because we found a venue we loved with staff that were very transparent. It took me three days to get a response from Peter to get a refund. He only wanted to do things on the phone, he avoided trying to text me details. But I wanted things in writing. he called me and dropped our package down to $10,000! Because he didn't want us to cancel. I thought that was interesting that he was able to cut our price down so easily within seconds down to 10,000. That shows me he was just trying to make a sale instead of genuinely helping us on the biggest day of our lives. He told me it would be 10 business days to get my refund. I waited 10 business days and never seen a refund. I even have text messages of him telling me that I'll get a confirmation once the refund is processed. He absolutely confirmed that my refund was on the way. So after 10 business days,. I then called the venue and spoke with Maria. She told me Peter never requested my refund or never notated that I wanted a refund! Sounds like he was trying to run the clock out on my two week grace period. It's now been a month and I'm still going back-and-forth with them and now taking legal action. I just wanted to share my experience with anyone considering Encore Event Center. They are definite scammers. Not to mention, the venue itself was messy, the floors creaked , everything was outdated and tacky. He was trying to offer us the tiniest room for 140 people. There was no way we could fit 140 people in that space. While I'm excited to plan my wedding and create the most beautiful day of my life, it's starting out so dampend and dark because of Encore Event Center. Nobody has reached out to me, I still have not gotten a refund after a month. I have no confirmation emails that this has been worked on. It has been an absolute nightmare! I've worked in customer service over 10+ years. Nobody has tried to check in on me and make sure I'm OK or needed anything or communicated that things were in process etc. It's like crickets over there. Do not waste your time!

Had a great time at my company holiday party that was held here! Beautiful venue inside but you…read morewould have never have guessed from the outside, since it's located in a business park around Miramar/Mira Mesa. The walls inside were beautifully painted like a dark fairy tale forest with unique lighted trees and hanging plants as chandeliers. Haven't seen a place like this before. They had buffet style food, bar, dance floor, DJ and even a photo booth. My coworkers had me vote before the party for what menu I would like, so I know there are about 4 menus to pick from if I remember correctly. I came late so there wasn't as much food out, but I did enjoy my plate. The food isn't fancy, but there was a good variety... wedge salad, prime rib, au gratin potatoes. I just remembered that it wasn't exactly hot anymore when I got there Think we had about 10 tables, which was a tight fit. They had a dance floor I've never seen before! It had a purple glow and was squishy when you stepped on it. I'm obviously easily amused. They did have a bar as well, which accepted cash and card. Sodas were free so my coworker told me a life hack... instead of buying a mixed drink, for example a coke and whiskey... just order a double shot and a side of soda for the same price! More liquor and not watered down. The bartender there on December 1st 2017 was really friendly and down to earth. Photobooth was fun too Great for events like weddings, baby shower, holiday company parties and kids birthdays!

It's an art gallery, but also a venue that can be rented out for a space to do several events. I…read morewent after hours for a indie film thingy, I would say it was very unorganized, they said door opening at 6 PM, but they let people wait in line to get photographer took pictures for marketing purposes. The catering company also there to serve people food, but then they made people buy their own stuffs and put all the free food away for themselves, we never heard of the food again. Show started at 7:30 PM, they just made people hanging out in the lobby, only a certain amount, the rest still have to wait outside in the cold, no food were served what so ever, the catering company put out the food, then the organizer boxed them and promised it will be ready for everyone after the show. Then the problem with seatings, they really don't know how to seat people, so they randomly picked people and put them to whatever seats available, then everyone else had to stand in the back the entire time. Finally the technical issue, sound and video went out of sync, camera and microphone didn't work half of the time. I understand this is low budget indie blah blah blah, but you really wasted everyone time, and you didn't get your act together. You should have done sound check and rehearsed. By the time they couldn't figure out how to fix the problem, they just let the rest of the show went on, then apologized. There was no free food, and if you wanted to buy food, the catering truck also gone. Really Bread & Salt, you need to allow more quality events to be in your venue. Please!

Over the past few years I've been to a few events and exhibits here ranging from an all women's…read moremotorcycle show with custom bikes, a band, and vendors (super rad event), to block printing work shops (cool too), and "haunted house"/art shows (meh). That said I gotta give the artists, staff, and organization of most of these events a "could be better"/2 stars as they are frequently rude -- one made a mean comment about me being a man, the art exhibits are often not very well curated, and overall the "experiences" and entrance/logistics are often very unclear, clunky, prone to oversights, and unorganized. I see from other reviews (Gary's) that this is not an infrequent occurrence. Still, I think this space is great, and depending on who organizes the event, it can be fun, but it's totally hit or miss.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Yard & Sea as an event venue!…read more We hosted our 20-year high school reunion here, and from the very first interaction, Jay went above and beyond as a venue host. He made our site visit seamless, and once we booked, the level of support exceeded all expectations. The pricing is incredibly reasonable--especially compared to other venues--and Yard & Sea includes so much like tables, linens, chairs, etc. It is flexible, customizable, and works for a range of budgets and needs. The vendors they work with are top-notch. We received tons of compliments on the tacos and the photo booth was a huge hit. (This wasn't your average setup--it was a high-end experience where you can customize the photo strip design, pick your backdrop, and choose from options like GIFs, photo series, and more!) The space itself is open concept, essentially a blank canvas with tons of potential for decor, and perfectly located in the heart of Pacific Beach. The reserved parking lot was a huge bonus, and Jay let us in as early as noon to set up--and even allowed us to store things overnight for next-day pickup. The setup and breakdown team worked fast and efficiently, and they were incredibly friendly and helpful before/after the event. Between the location, pricing, flexibility, and overall vibe, Yard & Sea was the perfect venue for our reunion. It felt like an elevated house party in the best possible way, and we're so glad we found it!

I…read morecan't say enough about how great the facility was and how wonderful Jody was in accommodating our needs. The location is absolutely gorgeous and has so much character. We could've held our event at a hotel meeting room or a restaurant, but the Assembly Hall was affordable and will be remembered as the perfect place. We had dance, piano, and musical performances on their stage, and used the projector and screen for several slide presentations. The lighting and sound systems were top of the line for this type of facility, and it was very special to be able to have the facility to ourselves instead of sharing a partitioned hotel ballroom with other parties. Thank you Jody!

History, Location, Customer Service, Cost, you can't beat it!!!…read more We had 105 guests for our Wedding Reception back in August 2018. From our visit visit meeting Jody, we were sold. The A/C in August helped too. My Husband learned to be a gentleman from Mr. Benjamin's Cotillion in this Hall back in the 70's, so seemed very fitting we had our Wedding Reception there too! It's truly a hidden gem of Pt. Loma and would recommend this Hall to anyone! Thank you for the memories!!

A true hidden-gem venue in San Diego! Do not hesitate to book for your party!…read more My husband and I hosted a baby shower party at the Glampisphere this past weekend, and cannot say enough great things about the space, the booking/coordination experience, and the actual event experience on the day-of. The space itself is full of bright colors, natural light, and was perfect for our rave-themed baby shower. We were able to use both the Glampisphere patio and the main indoor Air Conditioned Lounge space during our event, which offered flexibility for us and our guests. We had about 40 people attend, a full taco bar setup, and still had a ton of room for additional guests if we had needed it. Many of our guests commented on how awesome the venue was. The bar packages were really flexible, drink prices very reasonable, and the drinks were delicious! They even had a full mocktail menu, which I appreciated as the momma-to-be. :) Gary was such a star in this whole experience as well. He was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event and on the day of. He was always responsive to my questions and you could tell he truly cared that we had a successful event and a great time. He was very helpful during the event, helping direct our couple of vendors as they arrived, and getting us setup with the bar sound system. He even went out of his way to remember many of our guests names that he met on the day of the party, which I thought was really kind and thoughtful. The Glampisphere was the absolute perfect space for our unique baby shower, and I hope to have an excuse to do another party there in the future. Thank you for everything, Gary!!

The changes they've made over the past few months have completely transformed the atmosphere, and it shows the moment you walk through the door. The staff is one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, creating an environment where both regulars and first-time guests feel right at home. The service is consistently outstanding, and you can tell the team genuinely enjoys what they do. A special shoutout to Danika, who is absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond to make every guest feel valued, always greets everyone with a smile, and creates an atmosphere that's warm, inviting, and full of positive energy. Her hospitality is second to none and is a huge reason this has become my go-to spot. I'd also like to recognize Brady, who has been phenomenal every time I've visited. He's personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and always makes sure everyone is taken care of. Together, Danika and Brady help create an experience that keeps people coming back. The cocktails are fantastic, the beer selection is phenomenal, and everything is offered at a price that's hard to beat. I especially love their NASCAR drink specials--they make race days even more exciting and are the perfect excuse to gather with friends and coworkers. The bar is always clean, cozy, and comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax after work or spend an evening catching up with friends. It has a welcoming neighborhood feel where everyone can enjoy themselves, whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time. It's obvious that the ownership and staff have put a lot of effort into making this bar something special, and the improvements over the past few months have been incredible. The Fire Station has become my favorite place in Coronado to enjoy a great drink, unwind, and spend time with good company. If you're looking for exceptional service, outstanding cocktails, a fantastic beer selection, great prices, and an atmosphere that truly makes you feel at home, I can't recommend The Fire Station enough. Five stars without hesitation!
