    Love this place! Great live music! Fabulous drinks! Loved the My Boo Sweet spicy concoction Service was perfect for divey place

    A fun little bar with a dance floor both up and downstairs! Fiancé and I came here for funsies and we went downstairs and the DJ was playing a lot of older tunes. Def brought us back to our younger clubbing days and we had a great time. The drinks were really good too and it wasn't too crowded when we got there, but it started getting packed when we left. All in all we had a great time for a Saturday night!

    For the many that have had the red bull cocktails that they do serve at the Tipsy Crow the drinks of the bar and the food very nice.

    One of the many places that you can find the most historical mens bar that durring the early years there were baras for men only. In the gaslamp there were many places that you could gp have dinner and there were places that were only for the high ckass busiiness men. The Tipsy Crow is one place that takes you back to the early years of the 1900s the times when you had speak easys and the hidden bars of San Diegp.. wgen you come to the tipsy you have the feel of the bar and the old wood work that gives the feel the way the bars serve and the old fashioned drinks thwy have with the food they serve. The ambiance of the Tipsy Crow the interior of the club bar you xan have the best in weztern and the best in classic cocktails the club and the cocktails gave the feel of the days of 1905 to the days of the 1940s. For obe of the oldest bar restaurants they have menues at the front door you can choose from the many dishes they can bribg your food to your table and the drinks they make. Customer servoce theu hacevis the best grets you at the front door checkibg your ID. The Tipsy Crow they are cery on top to make sure that a are of age they do ask for your driverz lisence or your ID to make sure that all are of ocer 21. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the Tipsy Crow is obe of the oldest you xan relive the early years with the great food with such great Iralian flavors. A great place you can have some of the weztern and classix cocktails with friends and coworkers.

    this review is specifically during halloween weekend. though we didn't have any trouble getting in and it wasn't as crowded (yet), we absolutely loved the drinks. however, the food service was weird. i only say this because my group ordered food and when it was delivered, our food was combined into one plate so i ended up accidentally eating my friends soup because it was on the same plate as my sandwich and chips.... the server didn't tell us anything or warn us about this. my friend had to reorder something else so that she could get soup this time - the soup was NOT in a bread bowl as advertised. this part was just super disappointing. again, i would only come here for the drinks as the food isn't the same since the last time we came (last year) for beetlejuice themed drinks. really liked walk on the beach AND dreamsicle!

    We came here on a recommendation from our server at Werewolf, and I have to say the gin drink was one of our favorite cocktails. It was incredibly delicious--one of those drinks that tastes so good it can be dangerous. The bartender was awesome, and the service was great.

    Lahbsta rolls

    Stopped in when I heard some live music. Two guys playing groovy music acoustic. Ordered a couple beers then the lobster rolls. I'll be honest. I regretted ordering them the minute I did. It didn't feel like a lobster roll place. While waiting, I ordered my first Moscow Mule, which was not to my liking. I let the bartender know I'd prefer kettle rocks and I'd pay for the mule, but she was kind enough to not charge me for it. The lobster rolls held their own. You have to upsize to two and take the meat and stuff it on to one bun for max effect. But for $24c this passed the taste test!!! Overall, good music, good food, great atmosphere and great service. I will come back.

    The ambiance is definitely the highlight of the bar for me and the group i went with. We were helped by a lady on the second floor which was a godsend since she managed to keep up with all of the tables while maneuvering around crowded bar areas. The food was not tested as we already ate, but the drinks were as expected and not too too life changing. The decoration and vibe of the place was cool, but I think that I would have liked seeing the lower level but it was closed off. There weren't many games or activities to do and the dance floor was pretty small / less desired than expected. Might be fun with the right group, but I would recommend this place when they have decorations up.

    We decided to come here after dinner because the pictures made it look unique and we liked that it had a pool table. The first floor had a bar and different seating areas. The second floor also had a bar and had a cool room for the pool table that had bookshelves and big chairs. It had a great window space with a street view of gaslamp. The ceiling just outside that room was painted and had pink and purple lights on it. It was a bit speak easy feeling and had great decor throughout. The tables had big connect 4 on the tables as well. The music was mostly 80s music and the rooms were brighter until 9pm. At 9pm it turned into more club like music and the lights were dimmed. A server came to our table and took our drink orders. The bar was close to our table and it took quite some time to get our 3 drinks. The vodka triple sec drink was watery and not very good. The blackberry mojito had great flavor and chunks of blackberries that were tasty. The Paloma was good as well with fresh grapefruit juice. The service was slow and she didn't do much for us. Overall, it's a great vibe in there and I'm glad we stopped in.

    The Tipsy Crow had great energy to it. I loved the whole stock-market style drink menu & my Crow Fashioned was good. Overall just a fun spot with a cool atmosphere.

    I came here on a Sunday night around 11 PM, and I love that they stay open late. The bottom floor was pretty packed, but upstairs had a pool table, high tops, another bar, and even a DJ. I'm not sure how often they have a DJ, but it definitely added to the vibe. The playlist was fun, though I wish they played longer clips of the songs instead of switching so quickly. Still, everyone was dancing and having a good time. The bartender was awesome. She made me a pear martini that was delicious. All the staff were super friendly, and the crowd was fun, definitely on the younger side though.

    Not the best place but a good place to step into for a beverage. Staff caters to the locals and it did not have that welcoming feel for out of towners. More for locals which is unfortunate considering the location. Nice place, good drinks and food but if you are from out of town there are many other places around here that feel more welcoming.

    Classic Caesar with chicken
    Jason B.

    Looking for a joint for grub before a ball game, and this place was right around the corner. Started out with a caesar salad with chicken and finished with the meatballs. Both were good and arrived quickly. Ambiance is goth nightclub, service was prompt and friendly, and prices are in line with the area.

    Pool table upstairs at the tipsy crow
    Christina L.

    This is a nice bar. The ambiance is great. The bar is well maintained. I would say I'm not crazy about how to drinks are served. The service normally overall is great. It's definitely in a busy area so parking can be a pain. They have 3 floors here. I am not quite sure how often the first floor is open or when, I've only ever been on the main floor and the second floor. Their is a pool table upstairs, which you have to put money in it or a card in order to use it. It's $2.00 a game. Overall entire staff is very polite and helpful. I am not sure of the days but they also have a DJ here in the later hours. Definitely a place to be it's a vibe.

The funniest part was actually finding the place. We kept looking at the Yelp photos of the exterior, and the logo made us think the restaurant was in a large standalone building. Our Tesla kept navigating us to the same location, but we couldn't find what we expected. On our second pass, FSD actually pulled us right in front of the entrance--even in a red zone for a brief moment--just so we could finally see the Starlite sign. It honestly felt like the car knew we weren't recognizing the place. It was such a funny experience that made FSD seem almost human. Once inside, we were blown away. The interior is absolutely top-notch--stylish, elegant, and full of character. The pistachio dessert and the chocolate mousse were pure heaven, rich, smooth, and beautifully presented.

Starlite isn't just a place for dessert--it's an experience from the moment you arrive until you leave.

Instead of checking on my well-being or ensuring the aggressor had left the premises, security targeted and chased me as if I were the problem. It is incredibly disappointing and dangerous for a business's security team to lack the basic situational awareness and training required to identify the actual victim in a situation. I felt entirely unprotected by the staff here. I hope management takes this as a serious sign that their security team needs immediate retraining on bystander intervention and de-escalation, rather than harassing women who are already in vulnerable situations.

It's cozy, intimate, and unlike any other place I've been to in San Diego. Reservations are definitely worth making since the space is on the smaller side and fills up quickly. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that, while the experience and ambiance were amazing, the drinks are definitely on the pricier side. I understand you're paying for the craftsmanship and atmosphere, but it's probably not somewhere I'd visit regularly because of that. It's common for tiki bars to be pricey so it was to be expected. Overall, I'm really glad I finally got to experience False Idol. If you're in San Diego and enjoy creative cocktails in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend checking it out at least once!

I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too. Felt like I was going inside some continental room like John Wick. Definitely my vibe and definitely coming back. But if you ever get Garrick as your bartender, you're in for a treat!
