Bad service, bad music, bad drinks, and the crowd is always like a bad frat party every time I've walked in. I won't go back. - chris , posted 10/27/06 |

I love the ambiance of the place, but sometimes it gets real crowded that you have no room to dance during Rockboxx. - Ken , posted 09/27/06 |

It's hard to notice the mod decor featured in this bar's interior through sweat drencnhed eyes. 94.9 has given this bar a new audience that tips the maxium capacity scale and spoils the mod/indie style with PB fashion and sorority tans. - Rachel , posted 08/05/05 |

The place was so hot and muggy - and it wasn't even that crowded. This was about six months ago, so maybe they have installed some AC since then, but oy vey it was so hot. And for reference, I wear gloves at work for the AC, so if I think it's hot, it's molten. - Susan , posted 07/22/05 |

The only complaint I have was that their mixed drinks need work. Their kick-ass atmosphere only adds to the cool crew that shows up. A definite break from the surf bar / dive bar that charges cover.... - Unsubscribed , posted 06/10/05 |

You can call it a dive, but it's really a lounge. I used to run an office just up the road from Air Conditioned. The owner, whose name I forget, is a very nice guy who opened a handful of successful clubs in LA with a business partner, then decided to try his hipster model here in San Diego. It works. It works so well that 94.9 FM's "Big Sonic Chill" has moved its Tuesday night show to the spot. The atmosphere is posh, hip, and generally friendly. All the furniture is custom-made vinyl. The bar is fun to sit at and look at. Limited beers on tap, large top-shelf selection, decent prices. DJ booth is front and center, and I've always been pleased by the talent (though I've never sat back and had the old "God is a DJ" bumper sticker reaffirmed while at this place). Seating is mostly against the walls with the aforementioned custom booth and bench seating, two or three floating tables, and then there's the pit. The place has a seating pit sunk into one corner that's a dry cleaner's worst nightmare. It's actually quite Pimp (tm), surrounded by crushed stone and graced with elegant cocktail tables ... but the whole thing is covered in black shag. It's positively furry. But honestly, I have yet to go in the place and be disgusted by it, so I guess they bend over backwards to clean it daily. Overall, this is a great place to see and be seen. You'll certainly impress your hip friends or business associates who like to live it up by taking them here. If you're looking to conversate, go early or learn sign language. The folk seem to become less open to random conversation/interaction as the night moves on. I suspect this is directly related to the fact that the hip quotient rises in conjunction. In general, the vibe is friendly and certainly open and tolerant. Good times, good lounge. - Dave , posted 03/12/05 |

Having lived at 30th and Adams for some time, I had begun to give up hope for any really fun nightlife in the area. Then several months ago Air Conditioned opened up to my suprise and its great. Good drinks and atmosphere, even though the Dj's aren't as experienced as I would like. Other than that you will surely have a good time here, even if it is massively packed on a wed. night. - Benjamin , posted 09/09/04 |
