Been here a few times; chill spot. Pretty loud music blasting; friendly bartenders and staff. This place has a full bar. Street parking but very limited since it's around a residential and business area. Definitely be vigilant; a lot of homeless and "workers" around the area. Plenty of restaurants nearby for quick bites. read more

One of my favorite dive bars in San Diego. They host a goth event called Club Grave Beat once a month, as well as a variety of other shows / local acts. Full bar, booth seating and small dance floor. Bartenders are always attentive and amazing. Drinks are absolutely delicious with their unique menu. Depending on the event, there sometimes is a cover charge to get in. Parking is on the busy street or surrounding neighborhood. read more

Been coming here before covid and it's only gotten better. I've read the recent reviews and for people to complain about lexy being racist and rude is beyond comprehension. Maybe people need to be accountable for their own actions and stop playing the races card lexy is funny. I'm brown and she is always treating me with respect because I can handle my alcohol and I give respect. Drinks are good and prices are good try it out get over yourself read more

Til Two Club - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been coming to this bar for few months now. N I gotta say I ain't going anywhere. They have good music, good selection of beer and mix drinks. Also live bands play there and they put on a great show! I gotta say though, the main reason I keep coming back is cuz of the bartenders ! They are all pretty chill and respectful. But there it one person who I feel excels at her job and that's Lexie.! Always friendly, prepared and attentive.! Her customer service goes above and beyond. Always has a smile on her face and always happy to help. Definitely an experience that you guys need to check out. As always ppl, don't forget to tip your bartenders!!!! read more

Fun dive bar that is only getting better. I'm a two beer max drinker so I'm here for the music. Cannot wait to see Monarch tonight and hopefully run across Lexi who is one of the most personable likable bartenders I've ever come across in my lifetime - love this place read more

Great dive bar, old school spot with some local characters IYKYK Drinks are solid! If you want a place to hang out, listen to music and not break the bank or deal with pretentious bartenders I recommend Til Two. read more

I can't believe I never knew about this place, but then again, I'm in North County most of the time! I discovered the Til Two Club on my Tiki Mug group on Facebook because they were doing a special Tiki Mug by Big Toe in October, so I put it on my calendar. I was all alone, so I went alone and this is my kind of bar! First, its standard dive bar. Its small, it smells like booze and its full of regulars who know each other. The other cool thing is they have a DJ or bands on the regular in the back. I'm dying to go back ASAP and see some of the bands! I was stoked to get a tiki mug that day... so stoked, I bought two! I got them both signed by Big Toe. Because I had to drive, I only had one of the drinks that came with the mug, it was a humdinger! What else would you expect in a mug called the Lava Rum Demon!?! Loved the drink even with the jager in it and love my mugs! Especially love the bar.... servers were all super friendly and its a really good vibe. I WILL BE BACK!!!! read more

great place, a total vibe. and Lexi, the bartender is awesome. I'll be back For sure.

We were meeting some friends there for drinks and to listen to the music. It is a very vintage bar environment. We sat at the bar. Hannah, the bar tender, was very pleasant and accommodating. She knew the 80+ year history of the place. The music was fun and the drinks were perfect. Thanks Hannah for your helping to make this a fun evening. read more

I use to really enjoy this bar, but i will not be returning. Bartender Lexi was hostile from the moment we walked in--no reason, just attitude. Terrible service, yelled at us, then kicked us out. Obvious racial bias. Avoid this place. read more

Lexi is hands down the worst bartender I've ever dealt with. Rude, aggressive, and clearly biased. Treated us with zero respect and kicked us out without cause. Disgusting behavior. read more

Lexi is so much fun! Drinks are on point, fun and friendly. What else can you ask for in a bartender. She makes the best vodka amaretto. I know lots of bartenders and she makes the best ones read more

If it's a dive bar you're looking for, this is a great one. I'm a little bias because my boyfriend and I met on our first date here . It's his usual spot, and now it's becoming somewhere I frequent with him. I can get intimidated walking into neighborhood dive bars... everyone seems to know everyone, it's all regulars and sometimes the service is pretentious. I always wonder "do they know I don't live around here??" NOT here though. Everyone is friendly and service is attentive. We've come for a punk concert which was fun too. Doorman is really nice and chatty! It's nice to see the owners around and the same cool bartenders on repeat visits. What really sealed the 5-star review for me was the holiday cocktail menu. I WISH I had taken a picture so I could remember the names for you, but alas, I didn't. We tried 4 off the menu and I loved every one! That's pretty rare for me. They weren't your basic holiday cocktails. Each one was creative, surprising and delightfully drinkable. A good mixture of smoky flavors, cinnamon, sweet... yum! I think it's fun that they do a "naughty" or "nice" mystery shot for $5. One day maybe I'll be daring and try it. Fun place, good people. read more

Til Two Club - Delicious holiday drink menu. - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is absolute trash, some buddies and I walked in and were immediately greeted by an "angsty" emo esque bartender who seemed so annoyed about our presence and did not make us feel welcome at all. The bar wasn't packed but he kept trying to rush us like it was. We get it, dive bars are gross and dingy, and we love that. but you shouldn't use that as an excuse to not care at all about the level of rudeness or low quality of drinks your staff can produce. Seriously how do you screw up well drinks AND be an angsty brat about it ? any way, after we order our drinks a buddy asks for another beer, the bartender snaps, throws a tantrum and has a full on My Chemical Romance style "I'm not okay" meltdown, he gets a beer from behind the bar, opens it and throws it at my friend across the bar top spilling it everywhere on him and his clothes. (crazy right? I thought so too) We weren't in there for more than 5 mins before i went up to the door man and asked him what the heck the problem was. All we did was order drinks, we weren't rude, weren't pushy, just ordered drinks. and yet that was still too much for fall out boy over there behind the bar, the door man told us "he is always like that, im sorry" what the hell is that? He then had us kicked out so the bartender could compose himself and continue to try to get through his shift, talk about pushovers. I gave a 1 star because amidst all that - we got our drinks for free. But if the bar by any chance ever reads this, you and your staff should be ashamed to call this a historic venue , this is a shithole that happens to be at the same place where a once historic venue once stood. read more

Til Two Club - Bar event - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Bad day? Come here for a pick-me-up. Good day? Ride that high and come here for camaraderie and shenanigans. I'm a total recluse but made it my 2024 resolution to leave my house at a bare minimum, so imagine my surprise finding a community and friends here. In the past I've had regular bars, I've had bars that are regularly a bad time, but Til Two is now my happy place. I've had nothing but positive experiences here, even if someone was less-than-pleasant (as it sometimes happens at bars) because the staff are all incredibly supportive, vigilant, and clearly very genuinely invested in their patrons' well-being. The drinks are strong, the vibes are good, the music always hits, and it's consistently a good time. My only complaint is that I didn't start coming here sooner. read more

So popped in here on a whim...... it's a small bar with nice half moon shaped booths and stools at the bar. There was space for a band in the back, but given the size of the place, it will probably be way too loud, there was a DJ in the front who played interesting music. The bartender was efficient and the drinks were affordable. Nobody bothered me or my friend and it was a really nice experience. read more

Always great bartenders. The girls are always super nice and really try hard to make a great cocktail. The prices are always great. Love coming here to hang out, talk and listen to music. Places like this are getting harder and harder to find. I love Rapture nights with goth and industrial music. But swing nights are always fun too. But people, make sure you treat the girls right and give good tips!! read more

If you like the type of music and a quirky dive bar, this could be it. I'm too old for it. read more

I had a misfortune interaction with the bartender Matt this evening. He was rude and had extremely inappropriate crude responses to my questions. Seeing as we are locals living one block away who frequent this business frequently, I was extremely disappointed in how I was treated. I would hate to see this behavior be the norm among your employees. read more

Excellent spot for small and intimate shows. The doorman and bartender were fantastic people on October 5th, 2024, from 9:00 PM-10:00 PM. I would go back for more shows. read more

Great dive bar w/ good music and friendly people including the owner Dottie. Good variety of people too.

Til Two Club is a dive bar and I mean that in the best possible way. It is a revamp of an establishment that opened in that location in 1942 and there are lots of elements that pay homage to its past including the classic booths and the wall full of mid century modern clocks, mostly set to 2:00. The Monday night we went they had replaced their regular karaoke with a live band that was only available that night. The music was not my style but was definitely a hit with the regular patrons. As for the patrons, on first appearance I'll have to admit I was a little intimidated by the amount of black and spikes but after sitting in a booth for about 30 minutes I saw that this rough and tough looking group was full of respectful, polite friends who seemed to welcome everyone and just generally have a good time. We initially came because we had seen the bar listed as having great craft cocktails so we tried two off of their house specials menu. It's clear that a lot of thought went into developing the menu and it's a shame that very few of these elaborate cocktails get ordered with patrons seeming to prefer beer, wine or traditional choices like Jack & Coke. I had a Raspberry Beret, much like a cosmopolitan, and my husband had the Funky Drummer which was good but had a faintly soap like aftertaste. Although we enjoyed ourselves I think we will leave this bar to its regulars from now on. read more

The trivia here is amazing!!!! I VOMITED! Nah but seriously, this place has amazing live shows. read more

Great place to catch a show - cheap drinks and hood dive bar vibes!

Worst freaking service. The bartender with dreads that worked the night on 5/12/22 was absolutely horrible, rude, and would rather be on her phone than servicing her bar. Will never be back, I'll rather drive 2 minutes up El Cajon to get to a bar with actual service. read more

Fun bar not far from home, we attended a tiki cocktail night here and everyone was SO friendly and cool. The culture here is super chill, highly recommend it. read more

Nice live music, good prices. Dope dive bar. Not to busy on a Wednesday night. Easy parking read more

Til Two Club - Bar - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Great place for drinks beers and cocktails. I love just a few blocks away so it's quickly becoming a favorite. On live music days the sound is great and the crowd decent and not too wild. They let you come in with food too so that's a plus for making it a great hangout spot. The lights are dim and colored, so it's a perfect atmosphere for a date or a hole in the wall by yourself. Will definitely keep coming back read more

Very nice bar and Sarah was AWESOME!!!! The live music made it even better!!!! Lots of great talent for the show they had! Prices are BEYOND reasonable. Great first time going there and will definitely be back there again! read more

I love this place. Super chill mellow. Great music. Chip and Tyler are amazing. Can't think of a better way to spend the night.

I was actually really impressed with this place. My husband and I tend to not do the whole bar/club on Friday/Saturday night thing because we're old folks and hate not being able to have a conversation over loud music and gaggles of drunk people. The only reason we decided to hit this spot on a Saturday night was because our friend was down from Ventura County and he was DJing at Til Two that night. We arrived about 9PM and found a great parking spot along the side of the club and had no trouble grabbing a few stools at the bar. They have a decent craft beer selection on tap (we went with Green Flash West Coast IPA) and Netflix was playing on the TV behind the bar. As I settled in with my drink I started checking the place out for real. Yes, it's a bit... dingy? But it has a lot of character. I love all the vintage clocks behind the bar and the place has a definite cool vibe that I really appreciated. It wasn't trying too hard to be hip, it just was. I also started checking out the rest of the clientele and was impressed with the diversity of the people in there, and well, the serious lack of PB bros high-fiving each other and doing push-ups or whatever. Everyone in Til Two was super chill and even had some fashion sense. Imagine that! We ended up staying for a couple hours, just catching up with our friend at the bar before his set. They did end up turning the music in the back room up, but we were still able to talk (albeit in louder tones than we normally would) and have an enjoyable conversation over all that. People definitely started pouring in around 10PM and by the time we left around 1130PM, the place was jammed full of people. When we left our seats at the bar, a stampede of people went for them. I didn't check out the back room at all, but it seemed roomy enough for dancing or whatever the kids are doing these days. There was also an area between the bar and the back room where it looked like some artists were selling prints or posters or something creative and awesome. Overall a great place and both my husband and myself felt very comfortable there. It had more of the "LA vibe" we're used to and enjoy. It's a little out of our way, but I would definitely come back and try one of those weird Yoohoo specialty drinks. read more

Til Two Club - Dark. Clocks. Slacker on Netflix. - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Great staff, fantastic drinks, cozy bar with killer punk shows. The best little bar in sd!!

Came here with my girl and a couple buddies to support our friend's night of spinnin. Upon stepping into this bar, I had flashbacks from the old reincarnation of its former self, The Beauty Bar. The layout and decor is almost unchanged, except for the fact we came here on a not-so-busy night, and took control of the stage for our personal amusement. The DJs had a SlowJam/MakinLove music night, which was an awesome evenin. Of course, the people venturing here on a Saturday night were cool and relaxed as well, as a bar should be. (Pic of me and my friends controlling the stage) read more

Til Two Club - one random saturday night. - Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Til Two is truly an oasis in the part of town. Great drinks, good live bands, and owners who actually care about their bar (unlike some places I could name). read more

Great neighborhood bar! Although I started visiting well before I was in the hood. Drink prices are fair and is a unique spot for sure. Bar tenders couldn't be better and most seem to have heavy hands . Nothing but great things to say about this bar and the staff! Do yourself a favor and give it a try sometime if you haven't already. read more

I go to dives. But this isn't a dive. Don't mistake the two. And I'm in no way cool enough for Til Two. Remember that school dance scene from Clueless where Brittany Murphy character's Simon (rollin with the homies) stood fidgeting around and had that look of awkwardness? That's a similar feeling I get walking into this place: I'm just not cool enough. To even think that having listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers or Dave Matthews, even STP gives me street cred? Nope. God knows growing up on hip hop and R n B, didn't make me cool; It was a by product of where I grew up from. ( Viva Los Angelés). For some reason I don't get that feeling from similar venues like Bar Pink and recently, Live Wire. With Bar Pink, possibly it's becoming a little more mainstream? Who knows. But Till Two, I can't seem to shake that thought or feeling. Truth, no one here probably gives a rat's ass. They are that cool. Dark lit atmosphere, cool tatted kids all around dressed in black and solid Ts, bands playing with lyrics that I dare not even try to sing along to, let alone understand, while I awkwardly bounce my head. I'm a little out of place and it's a little intimidating for this hip hop chic, but as they say...opposites do attract. Then again, who likes good, stiff drinks on the cheap? /raises hand read more

Mick who owns Tower Bar has got the spot that used to be Beauty Bar. He said he put a lot of hard work into revamping the place. I definitely like the booths that are now lining the walls where the hairdresser chairs used to be... although I quite liked those chairs and would have loved one in my living room. Of course Til-Two has a full bar. The stage area is indoor/outdoor but no smoking out there anymore. Is it a sin to check-in on Foursquare and not Yelp? Forgive me, Danny, for I have sinned. But it's a good thing I did! The co-proprietor, Danielle, left a Quick Tip: Order a "Cupcake" It's AMAZING! And you know what? She was right! I ordered it as a full beverage, but you can choose it in shot form if that is more to your liking. In less than a minute I had in front of me a martini glass filled with vanilla vodka and orange juice and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Look out for soon-to-come signature drinks, such as (hopefully) the German Landing Strip Vagina! If any of you buggers decide to come out to Til-Two, you're invited to pass out at my place a drunken hop skip and jump away. read more

Pretty much my favorite place to drink in all of San Diego County. The owner and the tenders are great. I feel right at home here and you will too. Stay for awhile, see a band and drink Till two. Ok, I know that was cheesey and I'm sorry but it's a great place and it deserves your love and affection. read more

OH MAN... FIRST! AND I added the listing WHHAAAAABAMMMM... If you don't know already, this is the spot that replaced the Beauty Bar. It's owned by the guy who owns Tower Bar and he's partnered up with one of the guys from the Casbah (he runs Cave Punk records) and... it's great. They changed out the furniture and added booths where the stupid hair dryers used to be on the bar opposite wall. On a recent visit, the guy working the door was a d*** but everyone else working there was pretty cool. I don't begrudge door men their livelyhood, but when you are working the door at a new venue- try to put a smile on your face, ok? Anyway- love this place- hottest new bar in San Diego- check out the live music ASAP. read more

Well now. It's back. In a sense at least. All of the BB enthusiasts are likely going to cry rapids of rivers and speak mountains of bitching about Til-Two just like they did for Scolari's and so many other things. Looks like nobody wins these days. If someone does something great, apparently the older, cooler version was better. I still like South Park, Zeppelin, and Pinky and the Brain. They are old. Yet just because the Black Keys are getting famous does not remotely detract from the quality of the tunes. It's not about how elitist it is. It is about quality. On Yelp, if you didn't know by now, I judge places based upon my personal experience. Not what the populace says. This bar has some great things going for it. The sad fact is, you may no longer smoke indoors. (poof goes the 5 star review) Yet the ambiance, sound quality, drink strength, and overall sexy/cool/friendly vibe of the crowd hasn't dropped a notch in my book. The decorations have changed. The vibe is the same. It's as if the Casbah has a little brother that is almost as excellent, only he lives in a different state. The staff was super friendly, attentive, hard-working, and skilled. You wanted a drink? It's busy? Guess what. You got it, and quickly. I am as thankful as a monkey in the bananananana fields of Hawaii that the current bar maintains the dedication to loud, live, unique, not-necessarily-successful bands as the old owners did. That is all to say, if you weren't into the older bar, you may not yet grasp what you're missing out on. Yeah. It's in the hood. Yeah you've gotta make the journey there. Well guess what. Nothing great comes easy. Just go, rock out, check out the acts of the evening and consider yourself luckier for living in SD. Four Stars for something Well Done that isn't steak or a _____ read more
