Last Friday night I grabbed two friends and went to check out SIN Nite Club in Downtown San Diego because I’ve been hearing that it’s a red-hot new nightclub being promoted by Dre Vegas, an old San Diego favorite. I entered VIP and still had to pay $10… lame but becoming more typical… in Las Vegas.

The “Sin” concept was cool, the music was loud and everything was pimped out and brand new. Feelin’ the urge to booze heavily, i ordered the “Seven Deadly Shots” and a couple beers to chase. Turns out that drinks are like $9 a pop and I should be in a different bar if I planned on getting hammered.

Off to the dance floor to cut a little rug… most of the crowd was ghetto. I suddenly felt like I had left San DIego. When in hell did Hawaiian shirts and silly sunglasses re-enter the nightclub scene? I guess if the DJ will only spin last year’s Top 40 you might as well dress like dork to entertain yourself.

After almost getting in a fight with LaShawnda and her sisters for walking through their apparent “dancing space” it was time to belly up and calm the nerves. $200 later and only 3 rounds of beers and shots I was feeling a bit annoyed, to say the least. Not only were the drinks weak and overpriced, but my bartender was so shit-faced that he was spilling every third drink he poured making for an impatiently backed-up bar.

I left at 1am feeling half-sober and thoroughly disappointed. Greedy owners and promoters are to blame for creating the most fancy and overpriced dive bar in Downtown San Diego.
