Phantom Lounge and Nightclub

Bought three sections and management made us wait in line for 20 minutes+. They also charged us $25 per person for anyone over an initial 30 people. If our group didnt show up the club wouldve been empty. Stop nickel and dining your customers. I will never come back

Traveled from KY to San Diego for work, and midway through our visit we found ourselves struggling to find an establishment that accommodates the grown & sexy crowd and had a chill kind of vibe...until we found the Phantom Lounge. OMG!!! The atmosphere offered an unbelievable experience in a safe and cozy environment. The DJ was 🔥 with the R&B/hip hop spins, the hookah was tasty, and we found ourselves amongst other black patrons of various professions!!! The GM extended the kind of southern hospitality we expected to find at the handful of other establishments we visited, but were only met with disappointment. The bottle service ladies definitely did their thing and the GM frequently checked in to ensure our good time!! We couldnt have asked for more!! We visited the Phantom Lounge on a Thursday, which just happened to be their Black Business Mixer night. We were fortunate enough to meet some giants in the San Diego communities and truly fell in love with their missions!!! Who wouldve thought wed even develop a network of our own?!? This place is a remarkable hidden gem that is the perfect spot for an older crowd wanting to stay away from common foolishness, and is perfectly situated in the heart of the gaslamp district. Its safe, has amazing vibes, and is genuinely welcoming at its core. Thank you, truly, for your unmatched hospitality and an exceptional experience...one we will certainly return back to!!! 💙--KY

False advertising...any body promoted to perform Guaranteed will not show.... they should be sued

My childhood friend Robert and bubbly one of the folks who built that place up much love dope atmosphere Im all the way in Kentucky and still hear great things about this place

On the weekend when I come out to relax and party I make sure come here. The vibe is amazing the atmosphere is inviting. The staff and service you receive is internationally renowned!!

Decent place, but small. DJ was okay and talked a lot less than other places, thankfully. Very small space. Not bad, just not my favorite.

Loved this place, one of the top best hip hop clubs in Southern California

We got there and they charged us 20 dollars and for a table was 50 , don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t have had a problem paying but it was not worth it , it said it was a nightclub but random people were singing on the mic and it was empty , the security was rude and they were very unprofessional. There wasn’t even a danceflooor.

The promoter pushed out texts that there was a dress code. That was a lie. People wore tennis shoes, cut up gym clothes and jeans. We were rushed out of the club at 130a.m. then hurried off of the side walk while trying to get into our Uber from in front of the club like peasants after spending $1000 at the bar. Dont waste your money at this bottom feeder, classless establishment.

This place was closed with a huge white lock on the door. We went yesterday and today a thursday by the way. The view looked good from the window. It is crazy trying to find the place because the sign blend in with the atmosphere. Or maybe because they were closed and would maybe have a line?🤷🏾🙄 .... What a waste. Fix your hours online🤦🏾

Dont waste your time. Security rude and VERY unprofessional. The girls when you enter are VERY unprofessional and have no class whatsoever. Seemed boring anyways. $20 for??????????????????????

A group of us were approached on gas lamp by a promoter for the club. He promised all trap rap no EDM. He definitely came through on that promise. The atmosphere is where its at! If they could draw more people in there, theyd have THE place in gaslamp for the hiphop crowd. We had a few drinks and a hookah. Bottles where cheaper than any other place youll find in gaslamp. Hookah also was super affordable. The bottle service ladies are beautiful and nice. We would have stayed longer but the amount of people in the building didnt make it hot. All this place needs is more people in the doors and itll be A1.

I would not refer to this place as good nor bad. I will say if you are looking for a place to turn up with good trap music/hood feel then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a upscale, classy, or sophisticated feel then this is definitely not the place to be.

PHANTOM MENACE!!! This ghetto “hookah” crack house is fraught with the exact menacing thug crowd the residents and businesses were afraid of. Drive-by-shootings, brawls, hooliganism you name it .This dump is the smallest business on the street, but of course causes the most disruption! It’s filthy and the people going in and out urinate right in front of the doors. Security guards heed no professionalism, as obviously civility is vacant as crowds get wasted and the violence and disruption proceed.They’re constantly being cited by the city and they’re liquor license has been suspended multiple times. Great place to get jumped, shot or worse.

The hookah was great, but the space provided was fairly tight because of the large round glass tables. More people would fit in if the tables where smaller or a different shape.

The worst experience ever. If I could leave 0 stars I would. Very unprofessional never coming here again. Charging $20 for what ?

I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially women. Went there Thursday night and heard multiple security bouncers outside of the establishment yelling obscene and sexual comments to all the women walking by. Being sexually harassed by the staff is not how we wanted to spend our evening.

Ordered food from kitchen, rice wasn’t done but the person from kitchen staff came and refunded me for the inconvenience.

Good lounge. Lots of young 21 year-olds, but its gay friendly and the music is on point if you like hip hop and rap.

Went as a guest for my friends birthday the dj plays radio music and even with it being my friends bday, he wouldnt play a requested song, rude and not personable.

Nice place to relax and clear your head. Just be ready to laugh at a lot of crazy stuff.

Good hiphop music but no room to move always to many people, no dance floor people dancing in the walk ways also restrooms are usually nasty.

I dont enjoy smoking hookah but I do enjoy going to this lounge. Decent djayz

Anytime Im in San Diego this is my go to place hip hop club!

Amazing nightclub great service great music. 10/10

Cool nightclub/ hookah lounge with hip hop music and decently priced drinks

This place is obnoxious. The people who go here I would not refer to as classy.

One of our best clubs in daygo...!!

Bad service and good Hookah..زبال بالعربي
