    Salud!

    My first time at the Julep Venue was to attend an Oddities Expo, and even though it was super packed and the parking lot was full, I was still able to find street parking nearby, and enjoy the vendors! Snake Oil was in attendance serving up tasty cocktails, and the vendors were top-notch. I would certainly recommend this venue for your next event!

    THANK YOU, JULEP! We just hosted our wedding at Julep last month and it was spectacular! The venue is a huge open space that can be transformed into anything you desire. I have attached pictures so you can see how we transformed it into a beautiful modern tropical disco! They have a fully functional bar, outside patio area, bridal suite, large restrooms and plenty of parking. Also, one thing we loved about the venue is its off by itself, so you don't have passerby's, randoms or outside activity to interrupt anything. From start to finish we fell in love with Julep! The staff is amazing, they went over each package with us and let us know exactly what we would get, they have flexible start and end times. Their preferred vendor list was really helpful in guiding us to find vendors to transform the space! We really couldn't have been happier with Julep, so don't wait BOOK!

    Such a fun spot! I attended a Poshmark live party even here last night! This was my first time here! The vibes are great and this is a fun local for any social gathering! I recommend. Plenty of parking too.

    Was here for a posh event and thank goodness for this event bc i had no idea this venue existed! They have a bar area that looks super cute and next to it there is a back outdoor area. The space is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. There is also another space that you can see as you walk up to the venue. Not sure about prices as i was here for an event, but loved the space. If looking for a venue for a small wedding, baby shower or other events i would say check to see how much prices are. They do have parking for the venue events.

    Came here to tour what a pristine clean brand new smelling venue loved how cute the inside was. The bar in the back and patio area where perfection not sure if we will pick this place due to beverage package and limited catering partners they have but overall beautiful place perfect for someone wanting a ceremony and reception combo. They have a fantastic bar the bartenders are snake oil since it's the headquarters and the cocktails are top notch.

    I came to this new venue back in February and had a blast. There were so many friendly vendors here too. I got to have my hair done, professional headshots taken, make chocolate, and of course eat and drink as well. Snake oil Cocktail Co. is located here, so there cocktails were nice and strong. There was plenty of space to roam around in their indoor-outdoor location. I really love how beautiful and versatile this place can be. You can have a wedding, corporate event, or a birthday party here. During that time, the staff told me that they were booked in advance already, so I know that they will do well once we can start holding events again.

    First of all, the venue itself is beautiful. After seeing this one there was no need to look any further, we booked almost immediately. Adding all the wedding decor only elevated the space even more. It's simple & elegant at the same time. Secondly, the JULEP team was a pleasure to work with and answered all our questions in a timely and professional manner. Heather, Marisol, Tricia (and everyone else involved) were so helpful throughout the entire process. It really felt like they were dedicated to making my special day perfect. Another thing is, they are really transparent about pricing and that made us feel really confident in our decision to book here. I am so happy and grateful that my wedding not only turned out beautiful but also went as smoothly as possible, and I know that it had a lot to do with the fact that it was held here. Thank you JULEP! (Photographer: Michael Ares - https://www.michaelares.com/)

    This venue is beautiful and clean! Great location that is easy to find with good parking. The bar and outside area is very cute for any event and the cocktails and service were awesome!

    This Venue was so pretty. it is a large space that can be easily transformed for any event or ceremony. From the front of the building, you get a gorgeous view of downtown San Diego and the sunset! I think it was honestly one of my favorite venues i have ever been to. They have a great kitchen area as well, they allow outside caterers to use it! The owners of the building were great to work with. Next time I am hosting an event, this will definitely be the first venue i consider.

    During Covid-19 it's been challenging to find an outdoor venue to accommodate my entire guest list until I found Julep!!! I flew in from Hawaii to celebrate my 50th birthday in the courtyard at Julep on Saturday, March 20th. The experience from planning, choosing graffiti through their sister beverage company Snake Oil Cocktail to the night of the event was a great experience! Brindy responded to all of my requests/questions within hours and shared my excitement in creating an epic event! I had a DJ, taco truck, delicious cocktails called Eye of the Tiger and Xolo and anything else my guests desired. The staff provided were eager to please and delightful the entire party! I highly recommend this venue for a plethora of different occasions!

    We looked at so many venues for our daughter's quinceañera and as soon as we saw Julep we knew this was the venue for us! It's blank canvas and open floor plan was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to transform it to our daughters dream birthday celebration....it was absolutely gorgeous! We loved the outdoor patio for our cocktail hour and were able to have a churro cart and a teens mock tail bar that were a big hit with all her friends. We also loved the rosebud room where she was able to change outfits for her different dances and hang out with her friends. But what really sets this venue apart is the team that makes it all happen. We are beyond thankful for Heather, Marisol & Vanessa who are truly amazing at what they do. The level of communication is a huge plus when planning such an important life event and they were on top of it all, every step of the way! All of our guests raved about how cool the bar was and how good the cocktails were from Snake Oil. And the bartenders were whipping up some top notch old fashioned drinks. Our guest also loved the cocktail graffiti topper we had on the welcome drinks. We rate this venue an A++This venue truly has it all!!!

    You don't have to look any further. This is your venue. We knew from the first time we saw it two years ago, but COVID delayed our wedding. We saw it a second time and we knew it had to be here. We were so beyond thankful for this venue and the team behind it. Vanessa and Heather are the easiest to work with. They both made our vision come true and walked us through everything. The snake oil team was exactly what we wanted. Their drinks were a huge hit at our wedding and our friends and family couldn't stop talking about them. The venue is a blank canvas and you can create your vision easily. Everything from our first walk through with Heather to planning our floor plans with Vanessa to our cocktail tasting with snake oil exceeded our expectations. We wish we could do it all over. Highly recommend.

    See all

    San Diego is our second home, so we try to visit at least once a year. Since Old Town is one of my…read morefavourite areas around town, I was pretty stoked to book our Friday, January 31, through Sunday, February 9, 2025 stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town. We stayed in Rooms 245 and 253 - read on. Below are the pros and cons of the experience: PROS: * On January 22, 2025, for redemption of a Premier Plus Free Night Award up to 35,000 points + 262,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, I reserved a Guest room with 1 King bed for 9 nights - no out of pocket expense, YAY! * After seeing the room rate per night lower, on January 30, I was able to cancel the redemption of 262,000 Marriott Bonvoy points and rebook the same reservation for a total of 254,000 points + the Premier Plus Free Night Award up to 35,000 points. I saved 8,000 points, double YAY!! * Aleandro checked us in. He was informative and friendly. The hotel was pretty booked that night, so we were assigned to Room 245, but he told us that we could call in the morning to move to another room once one freed up the next day. * We called the following day and Chris at the Front Desk was extremely helpful in getting us a new room. She even went to Room 245 to deliver to us the keys for Room 253. * Microwave, mini fridge, and coffee station in the rooms * All day complimentary iced water, coffee and tea available in the lobby * Onsite market in the lobby * We did not pay for the $30/night parking in the underground garage, but were able to find free street parking around the hotel. * Daily Free Buffet and Continental and Hot Breakfast * Very nice-looking property with fully functioning fountains and beautifully landscaped spacious courtyard * Front Desk team members Richard and Aleandro were super hospitable and amiable. We enjoyed conversations with them. * They are pet friendly, triple YAY! * On-site exercise room * Welcoming lobby with functional fireplace * Complimentary Wi-Fi * Outdoor Pool and Hot Tub * Location - I LOVE Old Town!! CONS: * Our first room, Room 245, was disappointingly run down and needed better attention from housekeeping; the ceiling squares at the entryway, between the closet and bathroom, were clearly old and needed to be replaced, the bathroom door and trim were also in bad shape, the bathtub was not thoroughly cleaned, etc. * Our second room, Room 253, was a major improvement, but I still gotta say - housekeeping didn't THOROUGHLY clean the toilets. * Room 253's walls were THIN; I could hear the neighbours talking, laundry spinning from the laundromat, and there was a constant banging from movement downstairs. * No safe in the rooms. Overall, I was very happy with our stay - awesome location, the property was wonderfully nice and well kept, our rooms were comfortable, and the front desk associates were remarkably affable. I would most definitely choose to stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town again, especially since they are a pet-friendly hotel (We like to bring our doggies with us wherever we go). They are currently one of our favourite places to stay in San Diego. I hope to return soon.

    Overall, our stay was decent. The breakfast area and lobby were nice, clean, and well maintained…read more The pool was also enjoyable and kept very clean. However, the room felt tight for our family of four. There was only one small table and not enough counter space for everyone's belongings. The property is older and could use some updates and TLC. Parking is underground and may be challenging for larger vehicles. We have a Yukon, and there were only about three or four spaces that could comfortably accommodate larger SUVs or trucks. There are also low pipes throughout the parking garage ceiling, so drivers need to be very careful to avoid damaging their vehicles or the pipes.

I grew up in San Diego and have been to Old Town Historic District MANY times, but this was our first seeing the inside of the hotel. It reminded me of a hotel you see at the O.K.

Most SD hotels are outrageously expensive, and my needs were minimal. My place (from which I was moving) is close to Old Town and I enjoy the restaurants, and another better-known hotel (national chain) had bed-bug reviews. So, having walked by Cosmo at least 100 times or more, I made a reservation - well in advance - for Monday night. The time arrives for my check-in (available after 3:00 PM). It's hot outside (over 90) and I arrive at 5:00 PM carrying minimal luggage. No signs to indicate how to get in, or where to check in - nothing (other than the historic signs). I end up walking around for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get in. I even call the number - no one answers, and it goes to voice mail. No return call. After a half hour of trying to figure this place out, I finally find an open door - which gives access to the first floor displays (old bar, and an adjoining room). Again, no one is around - NOBODY. I finally see a door that says "employees only" and walk up and knock. Here's where the scolding starts. The fellow comes to the door, and aggressively says, "HOW DID YOU GET IN?!?!" Well, sir, the door was open. "WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Well, sir, it must be because I HAVE A RESERVATION AND I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A HALF HOUR TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON! I then get a mini-lecture on how (1) this is "not your ordinary hotel," and (2) "the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays!" (why that is relevant to the hotel part, we'll never know), and (3) "another guest must have left the door open!" Now, remember, I'm still sweating from walking around in 90 degree heat trying to find someone to check me in. It is only after the scolding and the lecture that this fine person finally takes me to the outdoor wooden stand that indicates only a place to check out (a key drop) - nothing to indicate check in. He then presents me with a list of rules, each of which I must initial (no smoking - no problem since I don't smoke - no cooking, no problem since I hadn't planned on grilling in my room - check out at 10, and other "INITIAL HERE!!!" rules. And again, the lecture on how this is "not your ordinary hotel." No TV (no problem, really), and some other rules of strict conduct. This is anything but a warm welcome to a paying guest, who made a reservation a month in advance, seeking only a quiet place to sleep for the night. Well, the place is not quiet. Since it's an old building with wooden floors, anyone who takes a step on the porch, or in another room, causes the creaky foot-noise. I will say that the room was relatively clean (the floor, not so much) and the AC worked, as did the internet. And the bed was comfortable. But beware that the website advertises a "balcony" room - no such thing, as the entire second floor is a shared outdoor walkway. So again when someone walks by, you hear ever footstep. But here is probably the kicker, and the ultimate irony. After all that rude, obnoxious scolding upon the non-check in, I rise at 6:00 and, upon stepping outside the gate, run head-first into a homeless person taking a paper-towel bath (half naked) right there by the gate. I attach a picture of this person, after he put his clothes back on. The point? You mean, all those rules and rudeness - for paying guests - yet no one monitors the outside to at least keep the homeless from using the porch as a bathroom? It is sad what has happened to Old Town over the past 3-4 years, with all the homeless now sleeping in the park next to the Cosmo. But really - you're going to scold me to coming into the building, yet allow the homeless to take up residence on the porch - right next to the access gate? I am usually up for adventures and appreciate historic buildings and experiences. As for the Cosmo, perhaps it is different on the weekends, when the restaurant allegedly is open and the outside courtyard is available for guest use. Personally, however, I would never recommend this place, and certainly will not return. It was an experience - one that is best chalked up as such. And as for you, Mr. Scolder - granted, you did offer an apology for your behavior. But, you should not have behaved that way, in the first place. Shame on you.
