Right on guys!!!! Fuck Yelp! Yelp empowers so many douche bags and Yelp always sides with the douche bags. Could not agree with you more.

Still my favorite place to go in PB! If you haven't tried day-drinking at Thrusters Lounge then you are missing out. Some of the very best times I have at Thrusters happen in the daytime hanging out with friends and chatting with the bartenders. The bartenders are awesome and can come up with exotic drinks and shots if you simply ask. Vinny is especially great for this and came up with my favorite drink when he bartends, a "Blind Cesarean" which I am pretty sure has been altered slightly each time I order it. Bottom line, I love Thrusters at any time but especially during the day time. If you aren't a part of the "Thrusters Day Drinking Society" you are missing out! read more

Great Seahawks bar. Super atmosphere. Had a great game day there. Must stop on Sundays for sure

The guy outside manning the line was extremely rude and had a power trip being in charge of the line. He would just randomly yell at everyone and several people left because of him Other than that this place is great. read more

Better places in the area, don't waste your time/$. Went to San Diego for short vacation, we stopped in here for couple drinks, and it was ok. Service not great. It has such potential to be a great place to hang out too! read more

Thrusters Lounge is awesome. My friends and I went here after taco Tuesday and had fun. The played ok music and the videos playing on tv were hilarious and entertaining. The also have a few Arcade games you can play. This bar was very relaxed and matched the vibes I was looking for on a Tuesday night. Nothing crazy just simple relaxed bar. The bar is next door to a Coin Laundry place. So if you see a line at night it's not for coin laundry. It's for the bar which is connect to the same building haha. I've been with a few people who argued with me telling me the bar was called coin laundry and it's not or the thought Coin Laundry was busy. This bar is amazing and I highly recommend it. read more

I had an issue with payment. After everything was resolved they accommodated me well and made a customer for life. Very reasonable and professional people working here. Highly recommend for a good drink. read more

I really enjoyed myself at Thrusters, except 2 instances have made it so I never want to come back here. To start, I came in with a bachelorette party, and the atmosphere was good for that. They have skeeball, music, and relatively inexpensive drinks, so that was all good. But here is the bad: their service kinda sucks. And I don't mean this on the bartenders - they were working their tails off! It's on the owner and the security at the door. There were a few things with the owner that came off as odd, but one of the big ones was this: a girl in my group had her drink (a grey goose and soda) knocked over by another random patron. It was a full drink. Since the bartenders were slammed and the owner was making no moves to help, she had to ask for a rag and cleaned up the mess herself. She then asked the owner (who was watching her) if he could replace her drink, and he said he would but only with well vodka. Well, she purchased premium vodka, her glass was full, and SHE cleaned up the mess; yet he couldn't replace her drink appropriately?? He had an attitude about it that rubbed us all the wrong way (we had been there for hours) and she ended up having to purchase another drink, at full price. As for door security, you can tell the guy is on a huge power trip. When we were leaving around 1am I realized that one person from our group hadn't made it outside. I had just walked out the door 30 seconds prior, and asked the door security if I could go back in to grab my friend. He REFUSED!! He said if I wanted to go in, I would need to wait in line (the line was looong). I said that he just watched me leave, and that I just needed to find one girl because she was now separated from the group and we were leaving. I even offered to let him hold onto my ID and credit cards to prove I'd be back in a minute or 2. He still refused and then insinuated that I wanted to go back in and party, and that I was not allowed back in. Luckily for me, someone walked out and I was able to spot my friend and yelled at her through the opening, so we left. Because of these two instances, I'm inclined to never go back. Which is a shame because I visit PB often, usually with large groups of friends who enjoy a good bar scene - but looks like we'll take our business elsewhere from now on to someplace that appreciates their patrons. read more

I walked I to this dive and saw a big dildo as a tap handle. I was like cool,can I get a pint of what's in that tap. I was dissatisfied that it was just cold beer . The tap handle is false advertising. Then this dude "Vinny" gets all pissy with me . After the 30th time I hollered " MY COUSIN " at him and asked if he'd heard that before he said " yeah dick beer from you 30 times now" and I was like "dick beer? I WISH" anyway... this place is ok. read more

Line sucked. Friend gets sucker punched in Line for calling someone out for cutting. After that kid runs off security says we gotta go. Place won't last. read more

Use to love this place, local love, dance and strong drinks! Unfortunately it became another soft spot in the neighborhood with no fruit to garnish! Was there on a Wednesday, DJ lacked talent and we left to enjoy a good time elsewhere... SO many places around to enjoy, will not be going back read more

Came here at the end of the night after a waitress's suggestion. Definitely a dive bar, but they played good music and have a basketball game to kill some time. It was a Sunday night, but had a few people there as apparently it is Industry night there. Again, it is a dive bar, so do not expect a vegas style night out on the town. It is also hard to get a drink so be ready to move people to get through to the bar. It is also a pretty small lounge. Also, just a heads up but places close at 1:30 am out here. Weird but just fyi. Overall, you might be able to find another place that is better, but good luck on Sunday. read more

Slow service, bad prices for a place that's pretty divey. So I like dive bars but when you charge 5$ for a beer it becomes stupid. Super slow service, it was a chargers day but the bar wasn't crowded. There were 3 bartenders working and it took a good 10 minutes to get a drink. read more

5 stars because it's a staple dive bar in PB & always will be. If you're a douche canoe & think you're better than this place, you're wrong & should leave. Come here for a drink, some laughs & great time! Don't Yelp anything but 5 stars! I've had so many great memories & some i honestly can't remember, but my bank statement shows i was there last & if i made it home with my phone, keys & CC then they're doing something right! Keep up the fun times Thrusters & fuck the cry babies that can't handle it! read more

I know that place sells cheap drink and I respect local dive bars, but it should never subsidize on service. I came back to retrieve my credit card that I left there by accident the day before. I came at their slow time, Wed 8:30ish, and about 10 people at the bar and the bartender is no where to be found. So I waited at the bar and a girl who was eating at the bar by herself said the bartender will be back. I asked her if she works at Thursters and she said yes. I asked her nicely if I can get my credit card and I'm not having a drink, she said "I'm not on the clock...so you'll need to wait for the bartender." I work as a San Diego bartender also, so I know you're technically not on the clock doesn't meant you cant go around the bar and find my card. Not being on the clock doesn't mean that you can not be nice to your past/future customers...after all...they do pay your bills. After 10 minutes of standing awkwardly next to the girl who works there while she's eating. The bartender comes out and literally took 10 seconds to give me back my credit card. I'm sure this review wont affect much of their business, but you've definitely lost at least one customer for life. read more

Our hero ventured into this strange small bar filled with Hasselbeck, Curry, Tatupu, and Burleson jerseys on a Sunday. Good lord... he was in a Seattle Seahawks bar. Even though most of the people were cheering for the Seahawks, they also had the Chargers game and the Steelers game on different screens for a bit of variety. On Saturday and Sunday, bloody marys and mimosas are on sale for $2 a pop. The mimosas are fairly small, and the bloody marys are a bit weak, but they're cheap. The bloody mary here is especially interesting, as they are served with a chunk of pepperjack cheese and salami in it. Apparently Seattle must be too cold for celery. Decor is geared towards industrial skateboarders, with a lot of painted skateboard and longboard decks lining the walls. The Seahawks lost that day and nobody started a riot... that's also pleasant. PROS: - $1.50 for all draft beers on Mondays after 8 PM, which includes Guinness, Stella, Shock Top, and a fairly extensive selection of beers. - They don't serve food, but they don't mind you bringing in any outside food to eat while downing beers. CONS: - The bar is extremely narrow and small and it's hard not to rub against random people when making your way down this crowded bar. - The all metal industrial style bar chairs are somewhat uncomfortable to sit on for extended periods. - They charge cover on random nights. read more

Thrusters Lounge - Thrusters: bloody mary with pepperjack and salami - Lounges Near Me - San Diego, California

My buddy that just moved here really wanted to check out PB. This place gave her a real feel of how douchy PB is. Actually, I'm glad I brought her here because hopefully she now realizes why I refuse to hang out in this part of town. I ordered a Guinness. The bartender poured it all the way to the top in one go. He saw my look of surprise and said "What???" and I was like "You're not supposed to pour it like that" and he was like "It will settle." .......... I picked it up from the bar and to my surprise, it was served in a plastic cup. I didn't realize my own strength and almost spilled the whole thing... We walk over to the dance floor. Let me paint a picture for you: The music is loud and bumping. Its a pretty good selection of hip hop and electronic. I like. Looking around, I notice that its quite the sausage fest. Guy/Girl ratio is like 5/1. Sounds good to a single girl, right? WRONG!! Gross, sweaty douche bags gyrating on the dance floor. Gravitating towards any decent chick that walks into the bar. The bathrooms line the dance floor and provide a nauseating whiff with every entry. My buddy got TP on her shoe without even going into the bathroom. Gross! read more

Actually got herpes from a single drink I got, my first time here.... I know it's from the drink because I slept by myself that night...

We got amazing service. Chill environment and drink prices are reasonable.

One of the most fun & exciting things to do in the city of Seattle is attend a Seahawks game! In Seattle, watching the hawks play is about more than just watching. It's about the spirit people have for their team and city in one place at the same time. THIS is what you get from Thrusters (during football season to be specific)! It's a smaller venue, so you most likely will have to stand unless you arrive early for a game. But if your a Seahawks fan and live in San Diego... This place is a must do! It's the closest thing to bring at an actual game! Plus the beer on game day is amazing and inexpensive. I absolutely recommend this place! read more

0/10. International passports not accepted yet that's how you enter the country? Told only passport "cards" accepted despite the fact you're only able to GET a passport card if you have a REAL passport. Such a joke and pure discrimination of non-US citizens in plain sight. Allowed US ID holders to skip queue and walk in whilst denying every non US, using the passport card only as an excuse knowing they're much rarer and actually not even valid to fly into the US with only around Europe making them a much less valuable ID. Bouncer was so rude and quite frankly so embarrassing on behalf of this establishment. Never experienced such discrimination. read more

A dream come true for a displaced Seattle native! Seriously, I couldn't believe my eyes as I drove down Mission Blvd at 9:30am to the sight of droves of Seahawks jerseys flocking in the same direction. Such a great atmosphere, especially for a Hawks fan! Everyone cheers together, high fives, wins, and loses together. I'll definitely miss this place when I move to Santa Barbara. read more

Thrusters Lounge - San Diego's home of the 12th man! - Lounges Near Me - San Diego, California

THE GIST: Great place to chill and kick back a few! OVERALL: We came to this place to have a couple of brews on a Wednesday evening. Very few patrons in the bar at this time but we weren't looking for a crowd. THe place had a friendly feel, great vibes, clean, friendly bartenders, love the mirrors on the wall which make the place feel twice as big as the place really is. On this night the bartender played Beatles for a while which was wonderful, but having Dr. Oz show on multiple flat screen TVs showing off spotted livers and other diseased organs was disgusting and not really matching the music ;) . RECOMMENDATIONS: Very great tasting NEW CASTLE on tap! INTERESTING: San Diego must have had a lot of smashed pint glasses. Everywhere we go there are always plastic pint cups..which are not our fav for enjoying our tall cold glasses of beer. read more

Bouncer takes my real id, tells me I'm underage, and when I tell him I'll have to call the police he gives me the worst most unapologetic attitude I've ever seen. Spent a total of half an hour waiting for the police and having them get my id back. Dude's an absolute moron. Not to mention a sexist who hates being embarrassed by a woman. No apology from the bar or the bouncer. Get off your high horse buddy read more

You ever get stuck in that overpriced bar with 100% dudes that are dressed to impress, and you wonder why there's not one single cute girl there? It's cause all the hot girls go get shit-faced at Thrusters. I think this bar CONSISTENTLY (every night, year around) has the best hot girl to guy ratio in San Diego (especially for its size). The bartenders are even hot. I see few D-bags, and fights almost never break out. And for some reason, this place always attracts large groups of women on the weekends... and not just any women... women that dress in lovely hoochie fits and actively acquire embarrassing stories about lushing there way home with some dude dressed in a rooster outfit who reacted nicely when they puked in his fish tank... ...sorry, that was random... and it NEVER HAPPENED!! read more

So this place at first refused to let me in because they were "uncomfortable" with my ID. Mind you I am almost 30 years old and they made such a scene about letting me in and I was with 8 other Massachusetts ID residents with 3 of them having the same last name as me. Then my friend and I were kicked out for absolutely no reason. Seemed as if the bartenders looked at us as targets with a valid ID. At this point, we were sober and the night was still early. Extremely shocked on the treatment my family and friends received. It was very bizarre and my family was visiting to have a fun time. We will not be returning anytime soon. read more

LOL they had a huge neon sign inside hating on Yelp ha ha I thought it was funny I came here Halloween weekend with my friends. We came from a party and some of the girls decided to go here idk why since the party was already good. The there was a small line but it went by fast. They have a small dance floor in the back, it was just okay. Not really a fan of the music they played. I'm not into Dive Bars but there was nothing wrong with this place, just not my thing. read more

I'm way way too late to write this. However I know it's not much, I mean this is yelp. Fuck yelp. Thank you Thrusters!!!!!! "Nick the dick" last night, you are far from a dick.

Thrusters Lounge - Lounges Near Me - San Diego, California

The security guard out front was not even paying attention, (a heavy set man with a ball cap, looked like a country singer) made my group and I uncomfortable and didn't even pay attention to our IDs. We proceeded to give him a tip and he made comments under his breath all the while his friend was sitting out front with him giving him advise and the guy didn't even work there. As we proceeded to the bar the bartenders apologized for the "security"guards inconvenience and gave us a discount saying he was going through personal "issues". I do not recommend going here if you are with your significant other as there is a jealous motive at the front door with the security: I recommend whoever the guy is working tonight be fired because he has been reading a book the whole time and not even paying attention to security which makes me think this company doesn't even have a license. read more
