Up and coming Club with a mix of a young and older crowd. The bartenders are great and attentive as well as the rest of the Staff. Super engaging atmosphere. Dance floor can get a bit crowded. Layout of the club is inviting and cozy.

Club is pretty small, gets super crowded. I recommend getting bottle service since youll have your own place to dance, drink and sit. One of the cheaper options. Been here without bottle service and it was just as fun. Hip hop music, so itll attract that type of crowd.

Food is average, but it is a funky environment and inexpensive. The cocktails are unique and tasty. Its always a nice experience and I try to get here about once a year.

I think my expectations were too high. After a few months of waiting the anticipation was high based on the Yelp reviews.The science and technology were interesting. Many exhibits ranging from sight and sound. My personal favorite was geography and the history of California territorial lands.There are a few bars around the exploratorium. The shortest line was in the cafeteria. After dark is cool because it is 21 and up and it is date night and/or groups of people walking around. We were there for an hour and a half.We were able to park across the street without paying, because there was no attendant.

Drove from Arizona just to get away with my love. He loved it as much as I did. It was worth the endless 4 hours of dancing. Definitely will come back in a couple weeks.

Not sure what all the hate is, the music is enjoyable! I like the DJ on Thursday nights. Not a lot of other princesses, but definitely worth it if you get a table!

They water down the alcohol, Im a bartender so I ask for a Titos and soda,seeing the amount of booze they put on my drink I thought would be super strong, I could barely taste it,so get a beer guys.

We went here years ago for a bachelor party. Without going into incriminating detail, this was one of the funnest bachelor parties my friends and I have ever been a part of. We ordered a few bottles and had our own table area. I am sure it has changed over the years but several years ago it was a blast and def a night we will remember.

One of the best night clubs in downtown! If you enjoy getting down to the latest in hip hop this is the place for you. Huge dance floor! Usually a long line out the door so be ready to wait in line or get there early.

Review №12

Overpriced ($20 per person cover and $17 per drink) and really bad music! We went to an event that was advertised as dance/electronic but it ended up having a different DJ who played heavy underground r n b and hip hop all night. Save your money and go to American Junkie - it is much cheaper and so much better!

Ev
Review №13

Too heavy hip hop/ghetto. Expensive drinks, expensive cover for not a great time. American Junkie was a better time with better music for dancing. We are from Michigan, and fluxx was more expensive than a zero cover bar back home, and less impressive.

Staff was very friendly, and music was good, however pricing on drinks was ridiculously expensive! They need to at least give out a menu that has the pricing on it. My friend paid $80 for 4 drinks.

I was apart of a paid event that did pub crawls which was fun until i enter this place. the bartenders were very accommodating and nice. the reason Im giving one star is because three times, not once, three times i was pushed and stared down because i guess i got to close to the vip area. a simple explanation wold have sufficed but the pushed me like they were trying to to start a fight. I guess if you dont spend the 500-1000 dollars worth of VIP room your considered trash. This place has the worse security who scrutinize you if your not spending a ton of money.

Review №16

Great music..!!!! Dj from the L.A. radio station was on point. Definitely will be returning. It was $25 to get in. I used the club crawl hopper on Groupon. They take you to like 5 clubs all walking distance. Wear comfortable shoes. I wore flats. You can wear tennis shoes in this club for guys. My hubby had on jeans a button down and Js (jordans) it was so hot. He couldve wore a nice tshirt not white. Drinks were a bit pricey $16.00 for an adios. I would say drink before you go. Ladies get that plastic flask and then youll maybe have to buy one drink

NYE ripoff. Even though our tickets were bought in advance, the line to get in barely made any progress despite getting there at 10:30pm. After a half-hour of standing and only moving 5 feet we left. No refund. Those who got there an hour earlier complained that it was packed on the inside and they could barely move. If you presale your tickets, this should NOT be a problem. Won’t spend my money on them again.

Review №18

Visited this place on a Friday night at 11AM. It was too crowded. Almost took us 45 minutes to get in. It looks like security have arrangements with third party so a new crawl was let inside when many people were already waiting. The DJ and music were bad. The drinks inside do not have much variety and damn expensive.It’s not worth $20 cover plus $15 you pay for drinks.

Review №19

I have traveled the world. Never in my life have I had such horrible service. No matter where I am I an ALL about customer service. That is always what drives business. I experienced a ghetto bottle service girl who basically cursed me out because I stood where one of their employees placed us while they got our table ready. If you have any level of class I would not come here! You are much better off heading to LA or anywhere else rather!

We love going downtown, having a girls night out with cool people watching, Handsome bartender remembers our drink orders and when we bring new friends in with us he is sweet to them so they feel welcome and want to bring there friends back, Sexy bouncers, and the most Talented and Gorgeous Dancers in Downtown San Diego. You guys are great!

Review №21

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a club. We got for drinks and it cost us $112. They charge us five dollars to hold onto our stuff because they wouldn’t let us bring it into the club which was just a Vape and a jacket. I would never ever suggest a place like this they charge you $20 just to get in it’s ridiculous. I’m furious with how they treated everyone like their criminal.

Review №23

The DJ on 8/25 wasnt that great but the DJ on 8/26 was awesome. What made it even more amazing was seeing E-40 perform live. If you go with a large group, definitely recommend vip bottle service. The place gets packed real quick. Overall a fantastic experience!

Review №24

Just wanted to leave a brief feedback. This club was amazing. When I showed up to the door the bouncer realized it was my birthday and let me in for free. The music was amazing for the remainder of the night and the crowd was clean and fun to be around. Will be back!P.S. Dress code was enforced to the guy in line in front of me which was nice. So be dressed to impress!

Review №29

I would never spend money here again. I pre-ordered tickets to see a specific performer and last minute Fluxx changed the performer to some completely different genre DJ. Fluxxs customers service is the absolute worst, they never answer the phones and do not return calls if a voicemail with a number is left. One representative told me I would get a refund but TicketFly (where you buy the tickets through) needs to get the approval from Fluxx that there was an actual change of performers/an error on their behalf. It has been 3 weeks and I have yet to get a refund because both sides are ignorant and lack of communication.

Wow, I got a jammin sampler from them. They are totally mix-masters. I love these guys. They lay the foundation for a killer party. If you see and hear them perform you will totally ask who they are before you leave. Nice crew. Had a great mini-chat on the side while they spun. OMG, wish I has a bigger house. Woot woot ! ! ! Get my party on with these guys.

Fluxx offers the Best in Nightlife Experience in San Diego. The Open Floor Plan of the Venue plays right to the Concept of an Ever Changing and Evolving Entertainment Experience. Fluxx brings the Best in EDM, Hip-Hop and Open Format Artists to keep the large crowds jumping. The Staff is smoking hot and friendly, they always aim to please. Bottle Service and General Admission are both available so Dress to Impress and Bring Money to Spend and Treat Yourself and Friends to an Amazing Night Out at Fluxx Nightclub.

Review №37

This is the most unprofessional, rude, and violent night club I’ve ever attended. I paid for an advance ticket for the NYE party and it was a scam. After waiting outside for hours they still did not let anyone into the party. The staff were extremely rude (pushing and shoving females). Please save your money and do not support this establishment.

Review №44

Been there three times now and it has sucked every time. It has a nice interior but thats pretty much it. They let too many people in so the dance floor is overly crowded - which makes it more or less impossible to dance without getting constantly bumped into. And the music? At best it is crappy dutch house with no melody whatsoever. Anyone who says that this a great club has obviously not traveled a lot.

Review №45

Extremely high security w/ 3 stops before entering. Men are charged $20 cover & are patted down. A simple 7UP w/ Vodka is $14. Music is ok, but they were having technical audio difficulties. Laser show was great throughout the night. Not much space for dancing. Demographics were highly uneven inside the club.

Jo
Review №46

My first time and last in this club. Nice place, but too crowded on the dance floor. One male bartender (shouldve gotten his name) played a guilt trip on me. My decision to give tips right? not his... When I didnt give him a tip, he said that when people buy drinks at reataurants, the bartender has to pay the servers to deliver the food and drinks. Hmm, very unprofessional, greedy person there. those people with the greedy personalities can bring down businesses like that.Drinks are also very pricey. $14 per drinks and $18 per plate of the finger foods. Dont recommend this place. Not very Classy.

Review №47

Friendly security and great service it was worth $20 entrance fee lol. I didnt have to wait for my drinks at the bar even if it was crowded. Theres a table in the middle of the club and me, my bestfriend and her bf got on it to dance and they were not rude about getting us down they justt said no haha so thanks for being chill with us and not giving us a hard time. good music.

I came down to Fluxx from PB the other weekend for my best friends bachelor party and it did not disappoint. We had ordered a table ahead of time but the one they had for us was in the corner so we asked if me could move to a closer one and they did it for us right away. All the staff was very friendly and even brought over some girls for us! I definitely recommend Fluxx to anyone who wants to have a good time and doesnt care about spending a few hundred dollars.

Review №51

First time in California from Texas and I wont ever be back to this bar. Stood in line, in the cold for almost an hour only to pay $30 bucks to get in (no special event) just to find it hard to move around and get drinks. I felt like I was in a modern rave like strip club (trashy half naked women and overpriced drinks). Im not used to that type of place. Here in Texas you usually dont have door cover and the atmosphere is more enjoyable as well as the drink prices and service. What a waste of time and money.

Ju
Review №52

Good Music and cool decor. HORRIBLE door men managers. Some little short gut with a shaved head told me $100 per person to get in, just to me, then pay cover. I have never seen such open front door corruption before. Crowd seemed ghetto. Place has seen its better days behind it. Too bad.

The rude female bartender on 8/26/18 at 11:00pm will make sure i NEVER go back. I was never given my card back and when i asked for it i was rudely dismissed as a drunk patron. I was trwated with extreme disrespect by everyone but head of security. Btw music DJ sucked and it was not entertaining at all.

All the nightclubs in Downtown are completely worthless. The atmosphere was horrible and and the drinks are too pricey. Ill never come back to this place again. I only stayed for 30 minutes and got the hell out as soon as I could. I had a girl that was an employee and gave me the discount card but instead I teared it apart and I did not even take advantage. My father tried to tell me that he can hook me up with VIP spots and I said no. Therefore, I hate downtown and dont try to convince to go anywhere in the area I tried so many times and the experience was just awful.

Review №63

The male bartender who served me (once) added an additional $3 to his tips. Because it was such a little amount, I didnt make a claim with the bank, but I thought that was extremely rude and ILLEGAL to do that without my permission since my signature only signed for a certain total. Maybe he thought I would be too drunk to remember? Too bad I wasnt, I was getting those drinks for my friends.

Review №65

The Best nightclub in SD is something of a juggernaut. Probably the strictest Vegas-type dress code in SD but not all that tough. Security has been known to be a lot more aggressive than necessary but again that might just be perspective. The club is nice no doubt its just its inhabitants who can give it the foul taste. Almost always a sellout crowd on the weekend come dressed to impress and get here early unless you know someone who can get you in or have your tickets already. A little to faux bougie for me

Review №66

Bought my tickets online for St Patricks day (two tickets for a total of $40). Never got in because there were too many people in the line. Security were very rude and they let a lot of people in that were not in the line and didnt have tickets because they had nice clothes or they knew them... But we paid and never got in !!! I want my money back !!!

Overpriced, Overcrowded, Over-hyped, OVERRATED!This place has extremely expensive drinks, you have to be dressed in your Sunday best, you wait forever to get in. Once you get in, there is NO room to do ANYTHING.This place is definitely over-hyped. It is SERIOUSLY not worth your time!Dont bother! There are so many bars/clubs in San Diego that are more fun than Fluxx!

Review №69

Do you know what I mean when I say this place was the most clubby club I have ever been? 20 dollars for 2 drinks, crazy super serious bouncers at the front all about the VIPs, little too no options to get in and get a chance to bath and get your bearings. But who am I kidding, I still had a great time! The front door staff were firm but fair and they were just trying to keep the crazy/drunk people out. The DJ was amazing and played a hilarious mix of 90s rock! I did pay 20 dollars for 2 drinks but at least they were strong.... I may just be a cheapskate....

Fluxx continues to elevate the standard for nightlife in San Diego. The Staff, Venue and Entertainment Acts are all Top Notch and always aim to please. Fluxx varies their entertainment by brining the Best Acts in Hip-Hop, EDM and Visual Entertainment such as Live Trumpet/Drum performers as well as Body Painting Artists. There are always Surprises around every inch of Fluxx. Dress to Impress and bring Money to Spend and Treat Yourself to a night at Fluxx!!

Review №89

Fluxx is still trying to be like a Vegas club. Its got the crowded bar, crowded floor and crowded bathrooms. It even has the $17 Red Bull Vodka which has to be the biggest joke ever. They do pull in bigger DJs sometimes, but expect to pay $40+ at the door for them if you dont get presale. Other than that, its local DJs. The venue itself is pretty nice, however.They do have themes like mermaids for Abyss which is cool for about the 10 seconds you notice them and theres also a 5 minute show. Though none of that justifies paying $17 for a red bull vodka. Did I mention its $17 for a red bull vodka? In San Diego? And 3/4 of the cup is just ice?Oh and theres no re-entry. Cmon. Even Vegas gives re-entry.

The place could get better reviews however the things people are writing are kind of true lol. As for the creepy rude boucers looking for a fight -yeah, I saw a little bit of that, they are walking around pushing other guys or shouldering them, and if the guys says excuse me -they start a fight...I guess its not a customer service oriented place lol-oh and it was funny at the counter -2 people kept asking questions the hostess selling tickets, and she was just yelling back move it move!!! then it was my turn -I paid for my wife and I 10 and 10 so should be $20, but I gave her $50 and am waiting for my change -and she yells again move it -keep moving next, so I am asking -excuse me maam my change, -mooovvve moove now neext!!! uhm excuse me...so the boucers quicky react and whats your problem what;s your problem....... oh well I kept moving, but again no management nowhere to complain, its just law of the jungle there and coruption lol....lost only $50 bucks,,,not too bad compared to the other reviews :) lol

Review №95

Ok let me give you guys a little view on Fluxx from a foreigner (German) who lived in SD for over a year !1. First of all, its pricey, yes, but come on .... its ONE OF THE SPOTS to go to in down town and yes ... you are in down town San Diego people, there is a reason, thousands of people go there every single weekend !If you want something cozy and cheap, go to one of the bars in PB or Misson Beach. There is plenty and yes, they are good too !If you find me a place like Fluxx with a 3$ Vodka-Redbull in San Diego, please let me know, Im gonna move back tomorrow ;)2. I always found the staff very friendly, helpful and fair ! They are very hard working people and Ive seen nothing than professional bar tenders there. Of course the security staff sometimes is a little strict or even seems rude but com on, everybody wants to have a good time and not to deal with super drunk or agressive people in theis place, you want safety and organisation so you can party and have fun without having to think about anybody starting a fight or a bad crowd to be in there.I even became freinds with some of the people there and its a really tough job I never wanted to do, but im glad, they are doing it the best they can !3. The music : you are in down town San Diego and complain about not getting the music you want ? Well I sometimes asked the dj to play a song I like and a couple times he did. Its hip hop, its EDM - what else do you expect ? Check the homepage for events and you know ;) I was there at a Snoop Dogg concert and he just killed it !!! always worth to go to live performances !Ill be back in SD for some vacation and FLUXX is definitely on my to-do-list at least one night :)

WORST-SERVICE-EVER! Got some tickets online for Martin Sloveig. Everyone in my party experienced horrible service. We would not recommend it. I have served in the industry, as a bartender and security/doorman. These employees dont know what service is. If youre paying minimum $12 per drink, you had better EARN your business with outstanding service.*Terrible Bartenders*Terrible Staff*Terrible Doormen*5 bucks for a coat check. per item. We checked two at $10*Im surprised they didnt charge me to leave the place.*I wish I could rate this place ZERO stars.As stated in a previous reviewIts the management, employees and exorbitant prices. Be fair to everyone no matter what they look like. Everyone is there to have a good time. Would I go to club Fluxx again.....definitely not.
