Been here twice, my friends and I had so much fun each time. Plus, mashups are the best and the people are really friendly, not creepy. Come here for both dancing and music. Definitely a good place to come with friends, will be back really soon!Another plus, free CD if you come earlier :)

This is a nice venue! I really enjoy playing there as well as catching some awesome acts!

An interesting night club, variety of different rooms with different kinds of music. 3/4 Rooms with a variety of tunes. The only downside is there site doesnt advertise the events clearly.

Came here because I was heavily recommended to. Felt a little dizzy with all the b.o. around us and heavy moshing to the live band - TOTALLY not my scene... until the DJ and strobe lights came on.NOW its a pah-tay! Their walls lit up to visuals consisting of comics, dancing bears, half-GaGa half-Britney heads singing to the harmonies of Backstreet Boys Backstreets Back mixed with a killer trance beat. Nothing hear sounds cheesy/amateurish, and nothing here ends with a clashing beat or drop that doesnt seamlessly mold into the next song. Impressed with the music and the men in leather chaps gyrating to the interlude show near midnight

Decent prices for a club but if your a smoker sucks to be you.

Bootie is probably my favorite dance party in SF. Its hosted at DNA Lounge every Saturday night, and features cool bands and DJs each week. This is my first time here, but Im already in love with the atmosphere, the crowd, and the music. The venue for Bootie is huge, with two floors and multiple dance floors. It kind of reminds me of El Squid Roe in Cabo.

This venue introduced me to electronic music way back in 2014 and has been my favorite venue to attend and discover new music. Love the visual led wall they have and insane lighting. Awesome venue with dope artists, one of my favorite places to party at!

The venue is fantastic, finding the entrance was another story.It appears Google has somewhat corrected the address,but this is a place where the entrance and the exit are in different places. You go past the address specified as the location, take the first left, and the entrance is in the middle of the block on your left.There is no parking associated with the venue, but Valet, street, and pay parking are nearby.Bassmt is a huge place, and it seems to go on forever with room after cool room.

Great venue! Great drinks! Lively staff!.I met the owner and the VIP coordinator, we made a reservation for a friends birthday and a friends wedding reception and they gave us a complete preferential treatment with two tables and complimentary champagne. Made us feel very valued as guests and made sure we had the best possible experience.We gives props and thanks to the security for ensuring that nobody bothered us for our private party. And we look forward to coming again.Thank you Jack and Orean for your hospitality.

If you love BASS music, Saturday @ Bassmnt is 100% the place to be in San Diego.1 - Loud space that lets you get close to the DJ booth, good for pictures2 - The lighting and effects are also pretty good for the size of venue3 - You cant drink on the dance floor - Some people dont like this, but I appreciate not having drinks dumped on me4 - Again - BASS - Ive seen some really awesome DJs (love you Ghastly!) there for not much $$5 - The staff. They are highly professional, helpful, and good people

EhTons of people standing around, you can only have a drink in about 1/3 of the place. Music too loud and it’s all techno except for one small place. No place to sit down hardly.Staff - including door staff- are very nice though. Very professional staff- was def impressed by them.

Always make it a point to go to Bassmnt when I’m in San Diego. Great open environment, amazing djs/performers, and a super friendly staff. Definitely check this place out!

If u want good spent time, it is a great place)

Lots of big edm talent pass through on the weekends. Bassmnt is really the only dedicated option for bass music in Downtown San Diego on Saturdays.Table service is always the best part when i go. No matter where the table is the staff is very quick and always have a smile on their face.Anytime i’m in Downtown San diego, and I want to have a for sure good time I know Bassmnt is an easy option and tickets online are so cheap. Even if me and my friends don’t get a table it is an easy affordable way to have a blast in Downtown San Diego

Bassmnt nightclub is the only club in downtown San Diego Gaslamp Quarter that caters to the people. The best 18 and up venue with the ability to still serve its 21 and up guest, without losing the nightclub vibe.I personally love Bassmnt because of the front of house staff, specifically Eric Meeler. He is the VIP & Marketing Representative for the club and goes above and beyond to offer the best experience every time. He surpasses any other club or promoter when it comes to creating the best experience possible.Aside from the great customer service, Bassmnt offers 3 separate bar areas (21+ only) with multiple DJs. Natasha is the best bartender they have; always there with a smile. Not to mention, she makes a mean Old Fashion.If you want a VIP table, Eric is the man to talk to, and Orean is the man that makes the magic happen. Those two working together is another reason why Bassmnt outshines the competition. Just make sure, if you do book a table there, to request Emily as you Bottle Service Waitress. She has the best attitude while working and makes sure everyone at your table is having fun. Emily is the only one I know that can make your table look like youre having the more fun than the others!And dont get me started on the music. Playing Trap, Dubstep, and even Rap & Hip-hop artist, Bassmnt covers a diverse spectrum of music. They do a great job of researching who the people want to see and find hot/up-and-coming artist to share with San Dieagans.These are just some of the reasons why I choose Bassmnt as my Go-To club in San Diego. If you ever had any doubts about going downtown to a club, rest assured that Bassmnt Nightclub San Diego will offer you the Best Night EVER!!!

This place is tougher than immigration. A lot of unnecessary checkpoints. It made me sober. You can’t take drinks here, dance there yada yada . This is work... ughhh I’m not coming back to this place .But for now, I go dance...

Bassmnt is an awesome, small club that features the hottest names in bass/dubstep/trap music.This review is from the perspective of an EDM fan who goes to Bassmnt only for specific shows. It’s the only club in town that regularly brings in top DJs like SVDDEN DEATH, Virtual Riot, Spag Heddy, etc. Tickets for those shows are usually around $20, which is great. Inside it can get a bit packed, but the crowd is always hype and into the music and friendly.

They get great dj’s but the venue itself is a claustrophobic nightmare

It was pretty awesome, this is the best nightclub to go to if you want a themed night (look up the themes beforehand theyre pretty out there). They have a main stage and 2 other rooms for music including one that has a stage that played hip hop. They should get a bigger location, their themed parties are the best.

I run an online business from my home in Downtown. For the convenience, I considered the GBS class that is held at the Bassmnt Night Club. When I consulted with this business on when the school was to reopen, I was told it was under construction without an reopen date and all classes are held at the location Clairemont Mesa Blvd.I Googled that location and it reads Kearny Mesa Bartending School. The inaccuracies is obvious a deception on marketing tactics. I also noticed this business bumped the regular cost of the class to run a $200 off sale. We will see if the class will stay at $500 after the sale.I decided to dig deeper on community feedback and notice this business had two Yelp accounts, one at Bassmnt Night Club in Downtown and one on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. The Yelp page for the downtown location stated they were open with hours posted. I posted a one star with a comment that this location was closed. The comment that was left for me read I was a competitor and that both locations are open. Which again, is inaccurate. And while we are are the subject of Yelp. I noticed the over 150 of Yelp reviews that were not recommended and removed for violation of Yelps policy. In fact, there are numerous reviewers that reviewed both of locations that were actually commented on by the owner, thanking them for the review. See Michael T., Orean, Johnny Q and many others.After my Yelp response, I decided to revisit GBS website. There were no schedules for the Downtown location. And while on this site, I read deeper into the remarks. I was astound to see all of the negative comments that were made on the other schools. Websites are a tool for advertising, not defaming other businesses. I did read a few success stories on the staffing services, which caught my eye in the beginning. However, during my review of what I read on the website and on social media, this service is running about a 5% rate this is far from the tons of jobs it claims.Thank you for taking the time read this.

Oversell presale tickets and then make you wait in an hour long line. Don’t buy tickets for this place.

$25 charge and theres 2 main DJ stages: 21+ and anything below. We went around 11pm on a Friday night and the 21+ stage was dead but the other side was alright except its really for teenagers with hip hop music instead of club/electronic. Expensive drinks. Ended up leaving to another club

1) horrible security, we’ve got a table but we had to be around it all the time Bc every second someone is trying to steal something2) naked ppl on a dancefloor3) DJ, they don’t play music they just run subwoofer test tracks

This place is too small with too many strict rules, not being aloud to wear shorts, tank tops, or hats is ridiculous.

Very large bar with two separate dance floors. One area is a more EDM focused stage while the other side of the bar is a 21+ zone with a bar and a stage with more traditional dance party songs. Nice to have both options, however while I enjoyed the music and dance floor there were very few places to sit and the drinks were not extremely well made.

I absolutely loved this place every time I went there. Great atmosphere, service, drinks, and DJs

Not a very big fan of the venue itself but they have by far the best music for my taste and as such its the only place I ever go downtown. If other places had the same music, though, Id probably go there instead. Gets really really hot in there at a packed show.

Nightclub sort of bar. Very loud with entertainment going. Can be crowded. If looking to dance then this could be your place. Tight spaces.

Sounds not the best. After about an hour it starts to smell like comic Con and smoke machines. Drinks are very expressive. But I did have a good time.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENUE!Small cramped venue. The staff will never let you speak to a manager and will never take your complaints. With a small venue they pay no attention to the safety of the audience. My last experience ended when they blasted the CO2 cannons for too long repeatedly and people passed out. WORST VENUE OF SAN DIEGO

Had fun with my friends here, good vibes and good music

Hi - I am writing to inform about a recent incident that left me shaken and uncomfortable. Please take a minute to read my story.I went to Basement 5/3 around 11 pm to watch Famous Dex. I got escorted out because I danced on stage with a girl. Although this was a fault in my part, what followed lead me to feel unsafe.After being outside, I reached out to a peer of mine from school who also happened to be the security guard (Will) and asked him whether I would be able to go back into the club to be with my friends. Will saw this as an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and told me to follow him upstairs. While he and I were alone, he declared that if I had sex upstairs with him right now, he would bring me back to my friends. Shocked and scared, I ran from him straight to the womens bathroom to try and tell the only woman working what had happened. However before I finished talking, he followed me in and escorted me out. The woman immediately told another security guard what had transpired and eventually I was able to get to the manager of the establishment. After explaining the unnerving encounter, the manager told me he didnt believe me. He continued to humiliate me by raising his voice at me in the middle of the street. He belittled and told me I wasnt making any sense; I was not listening; the guy (Will) would never do that to anyone. Will made me feel violated, disgusted and unsafe. Even worse, I was not listened to nor was I believed when I expressed the danger I felt I was in.He still works there. There have been no changes. I hope that they take steps to ensure that no other person has to experience that I had.

Nice Club with good Acts. The Bars at the Mainstage are without Alcohol

What’s the point of having a service number when no one ever answers? It would have been helpful to have someone actually pick up when I had questions for a particular event.

Loved it, they get all the new acts through and everyone is very nice and pleasant. Young energetic crowd I absolutely loved it.

Nice small decent venue. drinks kinda pricey. The place got a tad bit stuffy.

The venue is small and cozy which is nice but if your 18 and up the cover should be cheaper for 21+. To drink this is one of the most expensive bars in San Diego and they really need to send their girls to bar tending school. Ordered a double titos and orange juice and can tell you 100% it had less than a shot of vodka. My buddys Moscow mule tasted like water in a glass with mint in the glass and my 2 jager bombs had half the red bull that even a bad bar provides. 10/10 would strictly stick to beer or straight shots here. The price of drinks is outrageous and the bar tenders are not trained.

There are a couple rooms you can go to, each with a different DJ. It was nice to be able to mix it up. One room felt like an underground dance party and the other one had more lights and lasers. We had a booth near the bar and we ended up breaking our $700 bottle of alcohol. It took forever to be able to find someone who could help clean it up.

Its layout is pretty nice. I didnt like having to walk up the stairs after dancing all night, but aside from that it was a fun place to come with my friends.

The staff is pretty rude and they tend to create unnecessary problems in order to ask for bribes. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND that you go here.

Been here a few times now. Although I do like some of the acts that come through, I dont really like this venue that much. The main stage can get really, really packed and uncomfortable. The room is really wide, but its short in length so viewing the DJ from the side is not an option. I do like how they give free water though instead of charging $4 for a little bottle of Fiji water.

This place is Whack lol

Pretty awesome place. Two dancefloors and all the staff were friendly. Got along well the security guards and their drinks were pretty good.

This place is whack! The bartenders cannot make a drink to save their life, the bouncers spend more time harassing women than watching for issues, and $8-9 for a beer? Smd

What a dump club. Good music but jeez!

Small underground club. They now have 3 dance floors with different types of music. Love the new green grass background with LED light signs on the new dance floor. Came here for Ilan Blustone performance.

Underground venue. Most of the music is EDM and the average of people is between +18 - 24. It is very small and crowded.

This club caters to the EDM crowd and such is frequented by ravers. That said, i find people here are super friendly compared those you might find in omnia for example which is a bit too upscale and and uptight. However there is a separate section inside for those who are looking for regular club music which gets pretty lit as well.Finally the cost of admission is a steal if you buy online compared to other clubs.In my opinion, the best club with great value, great crowd and something for everyone.

I gave this a 3 because I think Omnia Night Club is a 5 star, and comparing all aspect everything. Bassmnt is worthy of a 3 star rating. Enjoy!

Horrible experience!! My friend and I were mistreated by the bouncers, mishandled, and disrespected. On top of that, it was a very bad environment with very ratchet clientele. Also, there was under age drinking going on left and right due to the corrupt nature of the bouncers. Not a good way to build a reputation for such a new club. Never again will I come here! And finally we were tricked into buying tickets online when we had 5 people come up to us and give us free tickets. We could not get a refund on the tickets when we stayed for a total of 15 minutes before we left.This place is not worth anyones time and money and I will be letting all my friends know.

If you enjoy a bunch of teenagers grinding against each other and trying to act cool by smoking cigarettes inside... This is the place for you!

I had an okay time but I had a few important concerns, when you go through there is no metal detector or security guard to check our bags. Anyone could bring anything in ie, guns, weapons and obviously drugs( if you don’t like the smell of weed DONT go inside ) it was hard to feel safe. Security guards were more concerned about keeping people out of the booths than anything. Also it’s hard to dance because there was a mosh pit the whole night. It would make me feel better if they at least had a metal detector or checked bags. Also it has a terrible rotten poop like smell by the booths.

My boyfriend and I had a great time here. The tickets were super cheap for really big EDM musicians. We saw Cazzette. I suggest buying online in advance. We got into the club pretty quickly. We went early and it wasnt very crowded at first. Its a really beautiful space. Later it was super, super crowded and we were by the walk way so we kept being bumped but no one was rude or anything. Wear comfortable shoes there is absolutely no place to sit. We had a really nice time. The drinks were expensive of course but thats with any club. I cant wait to go back!

This place isnt what it use to be we bought a $750 bottle service and ended up not being able to get back to our booth due to the bouncer stating that we were done BS. and then staff really rude you would expext a nice some what elegant area for that kind of money but this time it felt so classless and cheap. Ive been here a couple times but this time will probably be the last . I really dont recommend it.

If high schoolers weren’t allowed this would be the best place in SD.

Kinda cool venue for music. No stage though. Young crowd but they were ok, not bad like a lot of the reviews here say (went on a Thursday)

Great building, lighting, mood. Near plenty of parking spaces if driving and uber/lyft worthy!Two main dance areas: main(drum and bass artists w bit of EDM) and a pure rap/hip hop space.Cons: Main dance floor - weird table setup makes the floor unstructured and weirdRap - maybe a one day thing (DJ kept changing song every 10 seconds which sucks especially when everyone come back to the floor and prevents any kind of flow building note: we tried many times to be patient).PS: Didnt try out the bar or drinks. So cant give that view

One of my favorite places downtown, where I can have a blast without having to feel like I need to dress up. Ive seen quite a few DJs I love really close up. Why not 5 stars? ITS TOO FRIKKING HOT, get some AC or fans up in here guys.

Out of all of the bars in San Diego this one is the most dumpy while having the ego of a vegas night club. Overpriced drinks made by bartenders that cant make even the most simple cocktails. They claim to have a large variety in what they bring to their venue as far as music goes but really its all tired and over played out acts that were the hype over two years ago. Save your money and go to somewhere like Omnia or Onyx in SD. Theyre only response is that Im bitter from DJing there, but that just goes to show that they could care less about their attendees and audience. If they were truly professional they would have had a decent response to what I was saying, but as you can see below thats clearly not the case..

I was there last night and it was excellent...best of all - NEW DJ TALENT - Like that !!!

Nice sound system. Tickets are generally very affordable and its fun to rage my head off for 5 hours on a Friday night. Anything edm that comes to san diego is likely to be here. Staff is ok. $9 for a beer though? Ffffffff- off with that nonsense.On a more serious note- the lack of security (beyond tackling anyone who gets a little too rowdy) is extremely concerning. No metal detectors and no bag checks. Recent violent events in the United States are at the front of everyone’s minds now. Hope you consider security more seriously, Bassmnt management.

Absolute garbage. the drinks are on the most expensive side(even for downtown). The staff is dismissive, careless, and down right rude. The talent they hire here are borderline terrible, constantly changing the volume on accident and messing up transitions on multiple occasions with multiple DJs. On top of that, the dress code only applies to guys so if you planned on wearing shorts so that you dont sweat your butt off, try again. I will never return to this place and Ill make sure nobody else does either.

Good vibes, good electronic music, best DJs

Beware this place. My girlfriend and I went with some friends to go see Fetty Wap and arrived at 10:30pm. We stood at the front of the stage for 3 hours waiting for Fetty to come on, and at 1:30am, he still hadnt started. By that time, 2 of our friends phones had been stolen, so we got over it and left. I guess the gimmick of this place is to have the artists perform just before 2am so that the audience will buy as much alcohol before the curfew, followed by a half-ass set by whoever is performing there. This place is sleazy as hell. Dont waste your money.

It was about a 6 or 7 out of 10, just depends on whos heading. I liked that they had free water Its sort of small, obviously because its called Bassmnt, but it gets hot so the water was helpful.

Good acts, but crowd is too young (18+) which ruins the pit every time

Really cool idea for Club. Great music as well

It was fun!! We got invited into the VIP which was awesome until an employee came up to us extremely rude and kicked us out embarrassing us in front of everyone!! The experience made me sick being treated as if we were not good enough to be in the VIP. Overall the place is fun but many of the staff were a bunch of stuck up snobs! And to be snobs in a place that plays and supports EDM is just disappointing.

It was ok dancing. More techno music that Hip Hop and rap, need to understand that it aint coachella inside a venue. Need to switch the music and promoted better. Not many 21+ dancing, but a lot of 18+ dancing with what they got.

My friends and I go to bassmnt very often as it is the only 18 and over club in downtown sd and we all love coming here every time! staff is friendly but strict when need be. If there is a fight or argument-staff shows up immediatly to resolve it. It can get super hot in there, but they have free water which fixes the overheating problem. Dj line up has always been amazing! dance floor is huge and even when it gets crowded its very fun!

Dont go to the concerts.Went to see a Post Malone concert. It started at 9pm and Post didnt go on until 1:30am. He proceeded to play 4ish songs. This would have been fine if they had stated that it was more of him showing up for 10 minutes, but no, they decided to charge $30-$100 depending on when you got your ticket. Ended up standing for 4.5 hours listening to each DJ play the same songs as the others in their sets. By the time Post actually got on, it was impossible to see him because people were climbing on the fixtures and each others shoulders obscuring the view.In short, the venue really screwed everyone over by advertising it as a concert and charging as much as they did. It just felt really sloppy.

Bassmnt has given me my worst concert experience ever and Ive been to plenty of shows over the years. They advertised a Post Malone concert and it was very hyped with tickets up to $100 each selling out fast. But Post Malone came on at 1:30 and played 4 songs for only 10 minutes. Whether this was at the fault of the artist or the venue does not excuse why bassmnt is a shady business. I left a complaint on their Instagram and I was blocked. My girlfriend complained on Instagram and Twitter and was blocked on both. Ive seen other people complaining about the same issue. Dont try to hide your mistake bassmnt. Own up to the fact that you scammed people. Everyone who paid to be at that show deserves a full refund and an apology.

First of all Im not an avid google reviewer, but for this establishment Ill give it a exception. After standing in line for 4 hours in a half (9pm-1:30am)and being in a crowd full of underage kids, I couldnt stay at this night club any longer. Just to find out Post Malone only performed for a 10minute set with unfinished songs (was only paid to perform 10 min.) My drinks were watered down and extra pricey! This club is money hungry. My fist and LAST time here. False advertisement. & to top it off Bassmnt blocked me from social media. Very un professional.

No doubt the best underground dance club San Diego has. There is never a not happening day at this place.

If I could give it no stars I would. It is my least favorite place on all of the west coast. I have worked at clubs for years, and the way these people run things is shameful. A friend of mine was assaulted, and then kicked out. They claimed both parties had to leave, but I saw the guy get brought right back in... Its a boys club, and if your not on the in watch your back.... I would never go back, even if they comped us and didnt kick my friend out.... Tis was the icing on a gross string of cake I have eaten every time I go to this club......... Dont waste your time,.

I would like to talk to ur manager or surpviser. About night club dance floor.

As a promoter, I can honestly say this is one of the best clubs in downtown San Diego.

Music was trash. But atmospherea wass nice.

If you lose your ID they take so long to respond to you that by the time they do they say they gave your ID to SDPD and that you need to buy a new one

Nice club with many great artists coming down. A little too crowded

Too much fun! Every. Single. Show.

I went to see Rich the Kid and he performed the same song twice. He only played 4 songs

Tables need to be more closed off. but a great ass time!

Good for the 18+ crowd. Pretty sick djs.

The venue itself is OK, if not great. It attracts the SDSU party crowd though. I was there to see MitiS and when he got on some drunk girl kept yelling at him to play trap.

Multi dancfloor club, nice vibe, not so cheap drinks, but what can you expect in DTSD... Good djs on a weeklyBasis, and youll get lucky if you can find a promoter giving free entrance cards. Only thing I dislike is you lose cell signal in the BASSMNT. Such a fitting name lol

Ever since Voyeur went under Bassmnt has filled the gap between high end club (FLUXX) and middle of the road club. To its benefit Bassmnt has a much larger square footage than Fluxx and a much more laidback demographic. Spaces can get tight in the main room and AC can still be an issue for the more high energy shows it tends to host. Good club to give Fluxx a run for its money and arguably the best talent in SD.

Got in free on the Guest List to see Mimosa here and was pretty stoked. Being from the south, Im not used to dressing up like its prom to see EDM....its actually solely about the music for us. Apparently wearing heels to see your favorite DJ is what people do here. Anyway, the drinks were way over priced for the quality. I liked the size of the dance floor and the vibe of the place. The quality of the sound and lights were also on point. The staff seemed fairly decent and were quick to stop any violence that broke out. Again, being from Louisiana, we dont fight in EDM clubs so....not sure what that was about. My BIGGEST issue was that THE CLUB STOLE MONEY from us. We spent roughly $134ish on drinks (rediculous) at this bar and put that amount on our debit card. Woke up the next day only to see an additional SEPARATE payment of $162 had been charged to our account that we did NOT authorize or sign/see a receipt for . Tried calling the club to handle it outside of the bank. They gave us the run around saying the manager would call us back. After two weeks passing and no such call or concern about our rather large fraud issue coming from the manager we had to file the charge as a fraudulent claim against the club. Had this issue been resolved in a suitable and concerning matter on their end we might be going back, but not anymore. Im definitely looking into friendlier places to go. These people need to learn what the heck customer service means. Also, maybe not rob people blind.

Other than the lack of places to sit, this place was epic to see one of my favorite DJs.

Saw blue face ! Ayyyyy

The good musuc is 18, you have to not drink to listen to it. The 21 areas have super lame music playing.

GUYS ARE CREEPY BUT LIT ASF

The best place for dance and muchhh more

Nice place, really big. Staff is friendly.

Has an interesting layout with different rooms.

Ok music. Wayvtoo overpriced drinks. Too much guys.....

Amazing atmosphere, love the look of the place.

Great show

Music was horrible and dj sucked. San Diego had one of the worst party promotions ever.

I don’t like it
