There is really nothing good I have to say about Stingaree. The music is no good. Drinks are overpriced, the bartenders are rude. Therefore, there is no need for them to charge a cover of $20. There people that show up there are lame too.

I love this place. my favorite spot is the tables above the dance floor. It is great people watching. Staff is friendly and the roof top is great for socializing!! Always have fun here & meet fun people!

I celebrated by 30th birthday rooftop at Stingaree recently and it was ultimately a great experience. The initial coordination and planning was a challenge so we were a little concerned with how the night would turn out but, to our pleasant surprise the night was a huge success! The staff was very attentive and professional. The rooftop ambience was awesome. The Kobe Sliders were amazing!! The cupcakes were a disappointment... If you get there early enough, you can take advantage of Happy Hour prices which are a great value and help offset some of the other costs like the cabana bottle service. If you get bottle service via a rooftop cabana and decide to go to the dance floor, be warned that the bouncers might not let you back up to the cabana you paid for for the entire evening. Overall, it wasn't inexpensive but it was worth it...an evening I will never forget!!

Pros: Happy Hour & Dinner Menu, Service

Cons: Special Events Planning, Cupcakes

My friends and i came here last saturday night for our friend's 21st birthday. We decided to have dinner here at Stingaree because having dinner here would takle care of the $20 cover charge. All appetizers were $19 and all entrees were $35. The steak was delicious, but small in portions. Our waitress did not check our ID's as we ordered or drinks for dinner. If she did, she would have known earlier that it was our friend's 21st bday. After ordering desert, she found this out and comp'd one of our deserts instead. Also, one of our friends that sat at another table did not get served for nearly 20 minutes. They comp'd their first round of drinks instead. As for the decor inside Stingaree, i was very very impressed. Water falls inside as you walk in for dinner. The second floor had a line for a specific bar section, not sure why. And lastly a large rooftop bar. As for the music, DJ Fashen was simply "awful". The tracks he chose would have people dancin' for about 10 minutes, then have us standing there for a good 5 minutes before he would lay down another dance track, then have us standing there "again" for another 5 minutes before waiting for another dance track. I believe the calendar said he played hiphop but he played all types of weird Euro dance music, 70's music, and even alternative music from Nirvana (???). This left us in frustration, so all of us spent the rest of the evening on the rooftop. I took a look down onto the front door from the rooftop to see nearly 100 people waiting in line around 11pm (peak time). I believe cover was $20. But going back, the rooftop was great, especially with San Diego's great weather. All in all, a beautiful night club, delicious dinner, deserts and drinks, great open-air rooftop, awful music.

Pros: beautiful decor, rooftop bar, delicious dinner and deserts

Cons: i would have gave this place a 9.5 if it weren't for the music

The music was okay and different in all three floors...and you run into different sections in each floor....so, its not just three floors of music, its three floors with different rooms and different themed-decorations....luckily we got in the VIP list by making reservations and cover fee was only $10...the wait wasn't too long but we were able to get in and out...we went early, got stamped, did some bar hopping and came back to dance...

Good idea for a nightclub, definitely like the idea of having 3 levels. The only problem is that it gets WAY too crowded and it's hard to hear each other or move around. The dance floor is too small also, and turns into a mess of people. But they make their drinks really good, and if you know a promoter who can put you on a list it's quick to get in!

Pros: Great drinks, large outdoor area

Cons: Crowded

This is definetly the place to see and be seen!! I love everything about this place especially the rooftop. There are always good looking people there. I don't like that fact that the cover is like $20 or something, that is ridiculous. The bar on the rooftop is always packed and it will take you a while before you are able to get a drink. but overall its the hottest spot in San diego

Cons: $20 something cover charge
