Absolutely gorgeous and spacious venue located in downtown literally around the block from Park It On 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. read more

My cousin and her fiancé had their Sangeet celebration here and the venue was beautiful and extremely spacious. 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. read more

After having our previous wedding venue fall through, we found the Sinclair and it worked out so perfectly. The venue is a great blank space but also beautiful on its own with the brick walls, chandeliers, and the ivy walls outside. I loved that we could bring in our own vendors (especially having already secured some of our vendors before our original venue closed operations). Parking was fairly easy to find. The team at the Sinclair was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! read more

The Sinclair on G Street - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Diego, California

The Sinclair on Gst provided a large, beautiful space for our anniversary party. Guests loved taking pictures throughout the spacious venue and we appreciated the flexibility and clear communication with the staff. The managers are organized and responsive which really helps when you are planning a large event. They also feature a virtual 360 indoor tour which assists with planning. I would absolutely recommend this space for your venue needs but just keep in mind that you will need to either partner with one of their preferred vendors or plan on your own because you are solely renting the location and not serving staff, etc unless you choose to do so. If we ever needed a large venue again- I'd certainly come back. read more

We made reservations for a tasting with QFire and it was made at this lovely venue location Sinclair on G Street. As with most places in downtown San Diego, parking is a bit impossible and pricey with the lots that are blocks away. One of the benefits of attending this tasting event was we were able to check out this venue for future events. You walk into a huge open floor plan, for this event there was approximately 80 attendees and several tables, a make-shift bar in the corner and buffet tables with food. You venture straight back and there is a men and women's bathroom, you venture to the right and the stairs take you down to another smaller space. The stairs were a bit scary going down. There are a couple other makeshift bars to allow for multiple bars upstairs and downstairs, the space is a bit smaller and more for a dance floor with a couple open rooms and what use to be a kitchen. The other stairs lead back to the front of the door/building but on the inside. On their website, the have pictures of various hosted events such as weddings (Ceremony and receptions), with the brick rustic look, it might just be the venue you are looking for! Definitely check their website for pricing as it depends on the day of the week. read more

Such a cute event space in the middle of downtown. Our friends had their wedding here. Their ceremony and reception were beautiful and so much fun! Wheelchair accessible, room for a dance floor, a bar, a photo booth and I believe there was even a separate space for the bridal party to get ready. The brick walls gave a rustic vibe, but it seemed easy enough to decorate any way you like. I could see how this space could be used for events other than weddings as well. read more

The Sinclair on G Street - a group of people at a wedding - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Diego, California

This was the perfect venue for our wedding last weekend! We had about 100 guests in total. We held the ceremony on the main level, and turned the room over for the reception while cocktail hour distracted our guests down below. I was able to hang out with bridesmaids and get ready without the groom seeing me before the ceremony thanks to the fully furnished room downstairs. The beautiful brick interior made minimal decorations go a long way. Parking on Market was simple and easy for everyone in attendance, and there are plenty of hotels nearby. We also had great opportunities for photos both in the gaslamp quarter and at the convention center. read more

The Sinclair on G Street - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Diego, California

We had our wedding there in September 2022 and I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! It's beautiful and multi-faceted, located centrally in downtown and Megan was super easy to work with. There is no noise curfew so we were able to have our after party there and it was such a good venue. The brick and exterior of the building looked so great in our photos too. Our guests also raves about the venue! read more

lovely venue for a wedding or a corporate reception. Great location and the venue has great vendor recommendations to keep things simple.

We recently had our wedding at the Sinclair and it was awesome, everybody loved the venue, it has a beautiful brick wall and it doesn't need a lot of decoration since the brick wall attracts a lot of attention and looks beautiful. Megan was very helpful and always replied right away to any questions or concerns I had, the venue managers who were present during the rehearsal and the event were also super nice and helpful. The parking situation is not bad at all in my opinion, there's a big parking lot around the corner called Park it on Market, and there's a hardware store nearby in case you forgot something or need an extension cord like I did. The location was perfect, with lots of Airbnb around, and lots of food (we had people from out of town staying near the venue) the venue is affordable, and it was honestly perfect. I recommend asking about the wall around the corner if you're getting married there! The pictures look awesome! read more

We took a chance on this place for our wedding ceremony + reception, as it had just been recently renovated and there weren't many reviews yet. I'm so glad we did! Here's why: 1. The building is truly beautiful. Its gorgeous wood floors, exposed brick, high beam ceilings and interesting original details (like the arc cutouts in the walls) make for a stunning canvas on which to plan your event. It's great because it works for all kinds of budgets and styles--it can be totally transformed to fit a unique aesthetic (like we did for our "neon tropical" wedding), but it can also have very minimal decor (aka smaller budget!!) and still be a really classy and impressive backdrop for your event. 2. The owner is so nice, accommodating, flexible and reasonable. I also love that she's a young woman owner!! 3. The location is PERFECT. It's within walking distance of so many hotels and the whole Gaslamp scene, but it somehow feels separated from the bad parts of downtown. It's like this cool urban oasis - smack in the middle of everything yet it's own little world. Here's my biggest tip when touring this place and trying to envision it for your wedding or event: be flexible in how you see the space! They label a lot of areas within the building, but I hardly used any for what they were intended for, and the layout worked soooo perfectly for me and my event. For instance, they have this super cool downstairs area that you could use as an awesome bar area, lounge, etc. - but I chose not to allow guests down there at all because for our 125 person wedding, it would have felt too sparse for the guests to spread out over the two floors. Instead, we used it as a setup area for the caterers (this is good to keep in mind! The kitchen is very small, but if you can allot more of the downstairs for kitchen prep etc, it works out fabulously for any hesitant caterers). There is also a room down there they were referring to as the grooms suite, but I used it as the bridal suite and again, PERFECTION. Megan (owner) has it very nicely outfitted with couches, cute decor and a great full length mirror to get ready. You can then enter the upstairs from one of two ways. It was so key for me throughout the wedding. Also, there is a kind of sunken area in the back they think of as the dance floor, but we opted to put our own dance floor in the main area and use that sunken place for a photo booth and a quieter lounge area - again, to keep guests mainly staying in one place. And that setup was amazing for us and our purposes. We had multiple guests comment on the building and how beautiful it was, both when it was fully decked out on the day of the wedding AND when we were doing our rehearsal in the completely empty space. I am a picky person (ok, I'm a total perfectionist slash control freak) , and I can say that this was the perfect venue for our wedding. If I had it to do all over again, I would choose this place in a heartbeat. (Look at the photos! They speak for themselves!!) read more

We hosted my son's first birthday at the Pannikin Building and we got so many compliments from our guests on the venue selection. Perhaps an unconventional choice for a first birthday party, the open floor plan and central location was perfect. We were able to fit a bounce house, soft play area, and seating for our 80 guests easily in the just the upstairs space. The owner, Megan, was so easy to work with and very communicative. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking to host their next event. read more

We love the Sinclair on G Street! They offer a gorgeous multi-level event space with so much potential for any type of event. Their whole team is extremely friendly and helpful. As vendors ourselves, we've seen a lot of venues and this is one of our favorite spots in the downtown San Diego area! read more

My husband and I got married at the Pannikin Building last week. We needed a venue at the last moment due to the rain. This place was beyond our expectation. It changed our wedding from a backyard event to a whimsical celebration. Meghan and her staff were AMAZING! We recommend this place for anyone interested in having a nice event. Btw- the venue is a great place for photos! read more

We fell in love with this venue the minute we saw it. The downstairs bar area really sold us. We had a few other venue showings in SD that same day but we compared every one we saw to this one and messaged Megan that same day that we were a go! Megan was so easy to work with. Since we planned our wedding in the midst of covid, we did not know when the venue would open back up and Megan was very responsive to us to make us feel at ease. Everything worked out and we did not have to postpone which was amazing!! Our guests loved the venue. The brick really adds such a gorgeous backdrop for all the pictures that we have from our wedding. The ivy wall right around the corner makes the BEST first look and bridal/groomsmen party pictures. The dance floor is slightly tucked away in the back but served as a perfect balance so that the guests who wanted to sit and talk could still do that away from the dance floor. The downstairs was also perfect for cocktail hour while the upstairs was flipped. We brought in all of our vendors which seemed daunting to have to find but they have a wonderful suggested vendor list that makes it really easy. The location is near the fun areas of Gaslamp, parking, and a multitude of hotels so that all of our guest's needs were met for the whole weekend. We are still dreaming about our day at this amazing venue. read more

We had an amazing experience from beginning to end of our wedding journey. Megan and Alexis were making with communication from getting our tour booked, picking our date, and getting everything ready for the big day. I loved a lot about this venue. It just has a simple natural beauty to it with the brick, lighting, and high-ceilings. It made it easy for me to do simple decorations because the venue really shined by itself. I loved that we were able to flow throughout the night to the cocktail hour downstairs, and that we had our dance floor separate from the reception tables. We had 100 guests attend and it was the perfect size for everyone. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding; I even have been recommending the space to people for any event! Thank you so much to the Sinclair team on making our day perfection. read more

Look no further, this is the coolest, most efficient, and best place to have a wedding! It's a blank space, but with beautiful brick. The Pannikin provides the little things that helped our bottom line, like beautiful long 8ft bars (around $500+ if you rented yourself), chandeliers that provide so much decor and ambiance, no need for a dance floor, etc. It was so easy to set up with being on the ground floor and the owner of Pannikin was on it. Any question would be answered within an hour of emailing. Can't recommend this venue anymore!!! read more

Beautiful venue for a vintage wedding! You must have insurance and liability for everything, if you choose to venue here. Also, no candles or heat related items. Other than that, it accommodated all of our guests perfectly. There is a downstairs area for a bride to dress, bar area where we had guest walk down for drinks. There is a nice area for a DJ and dancing, and large bathrooms. It is in the heart of Downtown San Diego. read more

Ugh! Where do I begin! The Pannikin Building is SOOOOOO cute, I can't even stand it! I recently shot a styled shoot here and was impressed with how cute and simple the venue was! There are multiple locations throughout the property to shoot and on the exterior along with nearby downtown areas that are eye catching! Parking is fairly decent, just plan ahead! Parking availability is meter parking, paid lots, and street parking with 2 hour minimums. read more

I highly recommend this venue for many reasons other than the beautiful esthetics. The owners (Megan) response was amazingly quick and accommodating. The on-site staff (Alexis) was super friendly and helpful on the day of our event. The venue has a multipurpose layout which allows you to be creative and doesn't limit you or your event. We will definitely be booking future events here! read more

Hosted our wedding here and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is the perfect blank canvas while also being elegant completely on it's own. Super easy to host both ceremony and reception here! The separate dance floor is also so nice because it allowed our older guests to stay separate without being overwhelmed by noise and light, but is still included in the space and doesn't feel like it's hiding. The cellar area is perfect for cocktail hour and our guests loved the space! I wish we could host a million more weddings here :) read more

Wow!!! This building is amazing! Can't recommend this place enough. Megan is a stellar owner/manager. Loved utilizing this space for a video shoot! read more

First of all, the owner is a sweetheart! Definitely easy to talk to and professional. It shows that she has taken priority in every detail of her venue, right down to where each light is set up. This space is beyond beautiful. So much open flooring so it doesn't feel cramped. It somehow remains bright and comfortable-even with all the brick! It is a classy, historic piece of San Diego with a modern spin. I can envision so many different layouts and styles fitting nicely with the way it is designed. Definitely a great addition to the San Diego wedding world, and a perfect fit for the location. read more

I had the opportunity to do a styled photo shoot here. This was the perfect backdrop for the shoot. The brick is gorgeous and adds so much to the venue!

The owner, Megan, is very knowledgeable and professional -- easy to work with. Love this venue!!! read more

Such a beautiful venue! We attended the grand opening and had so much fun eating, drinking and listening to music. The wood floors, exposed brick, and natural light are gorgeous!!! One of the best things about this space is that it has so much variety in its character. The cellar downstairs has a whole different vibe that feels like a speakeasy compared to the bright, cheery upper floor. This would be an ideal location to host a wedding or event because it's in the heart of Gaslamp - close to all the restaurants and bars in case people want to keep the party going! read more

We just held a women's wonderful yoga and connection event at the Pannikin and it was amazing. The space is bright, spacious and beautiful. We used the three large bar-like structures downstairs to set out our catered meal and people flowed down and back up to the main space. Megan was AMAZING to work with from the time of our very first contact, and Alexa was awesome on the day of the event. We enthusiastically recommend this venue. read more

Megan is an absolute joy to work with. She is extremely organized helpful and professional. She goes above and beyond to meet your needs and it was a pleasure working with her and her dad.

The planning has been so easy with the help of Megan who is so thorough and quick to help. She has truly gone above and beyond in every way to help us. We have gone with almost every single one of her vendor recommendations as she really knows the industry. I honestly can't rave about this venue and those who manage it enough. If you are considering it, DO IT:) read more
